FlareXV Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 That has nothing to do with cross platform functionality. I agree but you can't deny that Sony's actions of 2006 to 2010 are the same of Microsoft right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that Sony initially providing a console that played all previous generation games for a high price should be brought up in the same conversation as Microsoft backing down on a policy they had entrenched because its hurting them?

Kaurhz Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 If this happens, Battlefield: Hardline will be the last multiplayer game I ever play. Last thing I want is to be in a lobby with several children all claiming to be my father. Or claiming to have screwed my mum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about some of the key points in your post. Your post implies that MS is only doing this because their losing dividends which to is probably true, but you bring no evidence to support such a fact. Which results in hyperbole. EDIT: Also, the "parity clause" is what was hurting MS, not "cross-play". Edited March 15, 2016 by FlareXV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Hyper Balls Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 This sounds about right. Fuck MS for this bs, because it's worse than what it sounds like... http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-updates-support-policy-new-cpus-will-require-windows-10/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/01/skylake-users-given-18-months-to-upgrade-to-windows-10/ I'm never going to use Windows 10.

FlareXV Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 I have to agree another way of forcing win 10. snake in the grass they are Every company is a snake in the grass, its just that MS mess up and don't know how to fix it. The basis is that MS has allowed cross-play with different services for certain games. That means more unity and a much bigger pool to swim in.

What they are saying will never happen, outside of Xbox One and PC... which you know is for no reason other than a desperate attempt to make the Xbox relevant again and capitalize on their Windows 10 install base. There's no unity, the companies aren't trying to "get along". The customer isn't the focus. It's a power move. Don't let companies get away with poor business practices because they say nice, cheap, empty words they know you want to hear.

EDIT: Also, the "parity clause" is what was hurting MS, not "cross-play". No I didn't. I said - "Its a given that Microsoft want this, they're the market losers", which is a fact. A dividend is a pay out based upon share profit, if I were to say that I would be implying I don't know anything about business. The parity argument is also not of relevance here - and I like how you state that I'm making statements hyperbolic in nature, yet in the next sentence do what you criticise. Where's the evidence that the parity clause hurts Microsoft"? Edited March 15, 2016 by LastPisTolman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft's utter disregard for the progress the PC gaming environment has made getting away from GFWL and it's closed-off ilk since it's necessary death a few years ago? Yeah, I'm not loving it. Not that there's much substantial to the article anyways, or the thread. Just a bunch of kids getting off on an idea that'll never happen and vehemently defending something they don't understand, and a company that doesn't deserve it.

MMDE Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Do see the focus on Windows 10. PC players on Windows 10 will be able to connect to X1, and this is what MS invites Sony to connect their players to.... eh This is just like when they were pushing for cloud computing. MS had just invested heavily in their new server farm, and now they wanted gamers to push developers and publishers to use it. They made confusing statements like the cloud services would be free for developers. This was confusing, because many thought this meant that it was a free service for people who released games on X1, when it merely meant that devs could use it for free while they were developing their games, not when it was released. Getting to use the service for free while developing, would mean that they lock themselves to using MS's services when they finally release the game, so that was MS making money. You also had the confusion about how X1 was the only console that could use cloud computing or that Sony would have to use their own servers etc. This goes towards much the same misunderstandings as when people think when they play online on PS4 or X1, that they play on Sony or MS's servers. This is of course incorrect. Really, you could release a game on PS4 that uses MS servers and MS cloud computing services just fine, but you could also use some other cloud computing service. Point is, it's usually about future plans and money. MS is suicide bombing X1 atm, and trying to take with them PS4 and any future consoles at the same time.

ShadowStar83x Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sounds like Sony didn't say yes, but they didn't say no, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber__Kate Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Well if this can actually be done it would be neat, definitely gonna take time though. I wonder how the "Players Met" functionality would work, could we be friends and or block people from other the systems too? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntenseFATE98 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Why do you seem so press over something that doesn't affect you? Don't use it if you don't want it. If this means a chance of Fifa cross-play, then I'm all for it. FIFA Cross-play between PS4 and X1 will never happen. It'll be too unfair. Xbox has 'Legends' players which is exclusive to them and also a few rare cards on FUT. The prices of players on the transfer market vary too. Unless EA brings Legends to PS4, probably not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuzzieWingman Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 It's silly. Many people wanted this a long time ago. They refused. For them to be open to this idea at last will likely be seen more as desperation than generosity, something that Microsoft isn't known for in contrast to say the Playstation brand and Nintendo. They will always be scheming to make this work in their favour the best. I think that Sony is smart enough to not bother. The same for other platforms as well. On the note of 12 year olds, highly unlikely nowadays. Most people use chat parties and computer chat apps like C3, Mumble and Discord. Most people mute themselves too. The last time it was loud was in Shadow Fall, but I didn't mind because there is a difference between a 12 year old not from Australia, and a bogan kid hue hue hue.
