Could cross-platform gaming take hold next generation?

Both PS4 and PC gamers will be able to play together online in Warframe - due to be released on the PS4 after launch. PS4 Cheats looks at whether this could be the start of a wider cross-platform gaming era and whether potential issues (such as hacking from the PC side) will be handled.

cross-platform competition between ps4, pc and xb1. There has been PC/PS3 cross-platform games and PC/360 cross-platform games.

Please let there be a game that supports all 3 next gen.

You have to many bubbles, lol

fossilfern4687d ago (Edited 4687d ago )

Theres only been a few cross overs and the only 360/PC crossover I can think of is Shadow Run. I dont think we will ever see an X1 and PS4 crossover.

Snookies124687d ago

Sony has shown interest in doing cross platform play, so I think it's up to Microsoft on this one. Whether we'll see it or not anywhere in the near future. I know devs have wanted to do it on a couple games this gen.

The Meerkat4687d ago

MS would never allow it.

Imagine what would happen if it PS4 gamers won 51+% of the time at COD.

@The Meerkat Just look at what the Final Fantasy XIV devs have been saying...

"Specifically, Microsoft refuses to allow titles to share multiplayer servers between other platforms. For Final Fantasy XI's Xbox 360 release the company made an exception - presumably to curry favour with Square Enix to secure Final Fantasy XIII's release for their console - but no such exception has been made for the latest MMO entry. If Square Enix want to release it, they'd have to offer another set of servers for the Xbox 360 release. PC, PS3 and PS4 are all intended to share with no boundaries once released."

NEVER place a console in league with the PC. It does not matter how powerful you think your console is. It is not a PC.

The PC is not a console and no consoles strength is on par with it.

Also, do not label the PC in with your "gens". Only PC games have generations, not the PC itself.

That is all.

starchild4687d ago

Yeah, let's take the console wars online. Put your gaming skills where your mouth is.

I can't wait to dominate console fanboys in games. ;-)

I think it's time that we get everyone together, and with the advances of the new systems, plus the way games are made now, being very similar across console and PC, this could be a real possibility. As the games won't run in a completely different way from one to the other.
MMO's could benefit from this greatly with more players, having a large community is important to these types of games, could easily take a game from having 2 million users to having 4 or 5 million users. Especially if all are included PC, PS4, and XB1

jukins4687d ago

There's only one player in this game that's stopping this from happening and its Microsoft. Its also the reason ffxiv won't come to xbox1 or 360 because Microsoft wanted a separate version that only PC and Xbox could cross platform play.

Funny thing is they allowed ffxi to be cross platform but only so square would follow up with more final fantasy games. But oh well is what it is

PSN_ZeroOnyx4687d ago

M$ is scared it's ” ELITE ” players will get pwned, and for good reason.

AgentSmithPS44686d ago

I'd love to play battlefield 4 on ps4 vs the 98% of xbox users that don't use mics :) (on 360 i suffered playing with them). I'm a little worried about the 'wall hack' griefer glitching etc that pc can bring to the table though.
Most of all I'd love to destroy the arrogant childish pc punks that put down console gamers (if your pc is so great why aren't you playing games right now, did you have to upgrade so you're butthurt?)
If gamers unite we have the power to force these things to happen, I'd like to see the end of permanent 1 console exclusive games, maybe give them a 1 year exclusive at most but all gamers deserve to be able to play great games.

‘Warframe’ is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide

"Digital Extremes’ free sci-fi epic Warframe, a zeitgeist of online gaming, is now available for Nintendo Switch™ 2." - Digital Extremes.

Neonridr52d ago

nice to see this game finally made it. Hopefully it looks and runs smooth.

TGG_overlord51d ago

Very much so, and I sure hope so. I do recall that people pointed that out for System Shock as well (I think that problem has been solved now).

DivineHand12551d ago

I just downloaded it on my phone a few weeks ago and the framerate isn't bad if you set it to 60hz. I suspect the switch 2 version should fair better interms of performance.

TGG_overlord50d ago

From what I've seen so far, it runs pretty smoth on the Switch 2.

BISHOP-BRASIL50d ago

It's originally a game released in 2013, obviously a lot has been changed since, but still the base code for this game was in development before at least 2011, which means that thing was probably going to run on PS3 and XB360 with a few tweaks, Digital Extremes just chose to skip into next gen... Someone would have had to majorly fuck up for the Switch 2 not to run Warframe smoothly, a game with 15 year old mid power target specs! It's a very light and optimized game by now anyway, it famously runs well on relatively old notebooks with CPU integrated graphics... Hell, even the mobile version manages to not run like ass.

TGG_overlord50d ago

That is true, so there should be no problems like you said, unless someone has messed-up really badly.

1nsomniac51d ago

Haven’t played this since it launched on ps4. Surprised it’s still even a thing.

DivineHand12551d ago

The game has received many quality of life updates since the PS4 days and receives content drops several times per year. The best part is that it is not pay to win.

It is a great way to unwind, but you will need to be active in the community to play this game. Most of the mechanics are explained by youtubers, forum posts and wiki pages.

TGG_overlord50d ago

Exactly. And nope, it was never a P2W title, and from what I understand, it will remain that way as well.

TGG_overlord50d ago

The updates and community keeps the game going.
