sony's excuse for not having cross-network play:

quote:

We have a contract with the people who go online with us, that we look after them and they are within the PlayStation curated universe. Exposing what in many cases are children to external influences we have no ability to manage or look after, it's something we have to think about very carefully.

I really hope Super Mario Odyssey doesn't have vocals in its music.

I hope it only has vocals in the final phase of its boss fights.

I wish that a bunch of Wii U game rereleases had been announced for Switch. I think Mario Kart was my least-wanted rerelease option though I know I'm probably in the minority

Hopefully we'll get those in the treehouse.

Lots of things, but right now people are mad about Minecraft specifically because now it has cross play between literally everything except PS4 (Xbox, PC, Rift, mobile).

There is an exception for FFXIV which is crossplay with pc.

It did the last time I played, and the Switch version coming out later is advertised as cross platform, hence my confusion.

Switch has Rocket League and it has cross-network but you wont be able to play against PS4 because of Sony

e: You can play Rocket League between Xbox One, Switch, and PC. So Xbox One and Switch can play against each other, but neither can play against PS4

Rocket League has cross platform play with console and PC but not between consoles too.

It'll likely be like Rocket League right now where PS4 players can play with PC players, and Xbone players can play with PC players, but PS4 can't play with XBone.

War thunder has supported crossplay with PC players for a couple years now. It has a pretty big PS4 community too.

It would get annoying quick like when Sonic games started doing it, and lose its charm. Music with lyrics usually don't work well for adventure type games.

There's crossplay with SFV between PS4 and PC. SFV is bad and so is the crossplay itself, but it's there I guess

MS is heading straight toward convergence, the Xbone will be running Windows 10 S in 2 years and Xbox will be a plain old PC, capable of running MS Office and all.

I don't think that you can build a PC that plays games as well as an Xbone for $250.

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
Rocket League's original selling point was the PC/PS4 crossplay, which later turned into PC/PS4 and Xbone cross play.

Where is this whole "Sony doesn't want PS4 cross play anymore" come from?

The Xbox won't exist in two years time outside of being the name of the game launcher in Win 10.

They announced a new console and showed a bunch of games that have been in development for years that looked like they were running on the 360. They've already given up on being a console manufacturer.

This actually reminds me a bit of one of the horror stories from someone in the PSN thread who got permabanned (eventually reversed) because a registered sex offender had used his email address for some reason when registering with the state's criminal board. If this isn't a hogwash PR answer, it's probably because they "guarantee" to do everything they can to keep online players safe especially for kids' games like Minecraft and Call of Duty (and I suspect the fact that this is specifically Minecraft plays a big role in this decision for that reason), and other players not having a PSN account they can punish makes that difficult.

Still dumb as hell, though.

Agreed. It kept ticking off boxes that I look for in a game. It might be too cutesy, but I much prefer that to something like state of decay 2 zombie life decisions simulator. And I love tower defense anything.

Fortnite feels way too ambitious. They're trying to do everything and it seems like it won't make any specific group of gamers happy, which would doom it.
