UleTheVee Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 What do you guys think about Cross-Play Gaming? Do you think it will be the future of video games and a great addition or do you think it's just something people want for the sake of wanting it?

kingpotato Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I think it will be good for the gaming world, but maybe it will just be for free to play games due to the "Console wars" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the owners of the companies of said consoles have said that they think the Console wars are both pointless and stupid. So if even the head of Microsoft and Nintendo tell you that it's dumb. Maybe it's because it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's a brilliant idea but PC is still superior lol. As long as the experience is lag-free as well as bug-free, I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthHazard Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 It would be great for us as gamers because there's nothing better than having more people to play with especially if your friends are on different consoles. With crossplay, you wouldn't have to worry about what console your friend gets, you can get what you want and still be able to play with them. I seriously doubt it is coming soon though. There is no benefit to the gaming companies by doing this because they could potentially be losing out people getting their console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comment is spot and even though Microsoft and Nintendo will say the console wars is foolishness, they are only saying that now because Sony was dominating them. I remember some 10 years ago Sony brought forward the same proposal to Microsoft and Microsoft point-blank refused so I can see why Sony would be hesitant to co-operate.

We deserve crossplay on almost all platforms for multiplatgames. We just do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know but I am giving a bit of context as to why Sony is so hesitant to join any crossplay agreement with Microsoft. Yes, I do agree that the consumer should come first but most companies care about protecting their brand first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
