I'm kinda glad this is happening
Xbone and Switch pushing for Crossplay
I can understand Sony doing what they're doing, regardless of the outcry the PS4 is still selling like hotcakes and so are their games
they've been the Villain for quiet a while

Bethesda leading the good fight.

I really feel like the tide is turning against Sony on this one. They come across as so out of touch! And it certainly sours the messaging behind their '4 the Players' slogan...

It's not because of the profits you silly, it's because the other platforms are worse.

@lordbaztion I mean, he isn't wrong.

That's so great to hear, the uproar was effective at the end. Hope it follows to more games.
@el-shmiablo I guess it no longer is. :)
-
@lordbaztion Nah, I think it still applies. ;)
But hey, glad to see Sony finally bent the knee. Their strategy of waiting until people weren't so up their ass about it worked. Waited for some bigger controversies to overshadow it, and then finally implemented it.
-
@tokeeffe9 I think we should start to see them open it up to everyone. Devs and publishers would be at their throats if they started playing favourites.
-
Cool was expecting this to happen this year, granted I was expecting it to be announced at PSX
-
I have no interest in cross play personally, but this was a much needed move. I actually thought they were never going to do it, but i guess Sony's not too arrogant after all. Have fun, everyone! I hope they do eventually roll out to other games, but i think it's just a question of when at this point.
-
I think it was inevitable that Sony had to get with the times here. Microsoft and Nintendo have shown a willingness to work together and open things up, and the potential benefits across the board always made it seem like a no brainer. Each platform has enough exclusives that 'one console folks' will still be able to pick and choose which first party stuff suits them best. The big thing for me is the benefit to third parties... having unified matchmaking pools will extend the life of a lot of games. Laser League could have been saved!

Crossplay for diablo 3 is a question of when

@lordbaztion Oh baby. I am hyyype for that. I've pumped an insane amount of hours into D3 across several version.
Fingers crossed for Destiny as well.
-
Oh God, Cross play with Diablo is something I might actually get excited about, along with all my fighting games
-
@lordbaztion This is fantastic news, across the board. Clearly it's still very early days, but the momentum here is very exciting.
