DSOGaming writes: "There have been various reports in the past few days about Valve aiming for cross-platform play but we can now confirm that the title will indeed offer cross-platform play between PS3 and PC. Yeap, it's official everyone as it was revealed in the first trailer of Counter-Strike: GO that the game will actually feature it."

Glad to have another steam works enabled game on PS3.

Valve is doing great with Sony. This partnership is good for both of them. They've done the best choice to chose to work together.
It's like the first time i read a FPS will be playable for both PC and console players, for people it doesn't maybe mean nothing, for me it's like seeing an impossible thing happens.
It shows a clear orientation for gaming in the future, a more global media platform, very dynamic with less and less restrictions in terms of compatibility.

Peppy la Moca5394d ago

This isn't the first time cross-platform play has been in an FPS. It was done with Shadowrun on the Xbox 360 around its launch. Granted it was a Microsoft-published game.

ATi_Elite5395d ago (Edited 5395d ago )

Boy i can't wait for this to come out so I can brutally rape, own, bury, pillage, sodomize, and just flat out defecate on some consolers!!!!

but then again theres no fun in that.....that's like Mike Tyson beating up a crippled toddler...just no challenge or fun at all especially seeing how most consolers swear by the controller and would forgo the KB/M!

WarPonyDestroyer5395d ago

Digital Mouse vs aim assist!

Who will prevail????

raztad5395d ago

Well, everybody is expecting PC owners to own console players on the basis of a accurate and lagless Mouse, lets see if that turns out that way. I'm gonna get the game just because Valve is supporting the PS3 fantastically. PS3 MOVE player here, I'll die a lot but will make sure to take some PC players with me to hell. Just for the fun of it. Hope Valve keeps data about the performance of the different controllers.

One last thing, as someone said bellow this game has to be 60fps all across the board. Otherwise 30fps players dont stand a single chance.

"Well, everybody is expecting PC owners to own console players on the basis of a accurate and lagless Mouse, lets see if that turns out that way."

It did for Shadowrun.

Then again at the same time, there wasn't anything like KB&M or MOVE style support at the game's release.

Wizziokid5395d ago

great to hear but console vs PC? that would be a one way battle imo

nice to see valve using steam more on PS3 too

Ja555on5395d ago

I'm not saying your wrong but lets just wait and see what happens when it's released

Wizziokid5395d ago

yeah i mean I'm not saying console gamers won't stand a chance but when it comes to accuracy the PC will own. then again the PS3 will support keyboard and mouse so from that respect it's anyones game again

Ja555on5395d ago

Maybe having a mouse will give an advantage but I play BFBC2 on PS3 and I like to think I'm pretty good at it and so I find it hard to imagine that I wouldn't stand a chance against somebody just because they are using a mouse

Cenobia5395d ago (Edited 5395d ago )

@Ja555on

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but most console games have a bit of aim assist added to even things out. I usually turn it off anyway, but it is on by default. I'm sure the console version of CS might have that option, but gamepad users will never be able to check corners as fast, or turn around to return fire as fast as PC users.

I hope cross platform is an option in the game.

Ja555on5395d ago

BFBC2 doesn't have aim assist, and when my sensitivity is on full (It always is) there would not be much difference in turn speed, and of course it's cross-platform, that's the title of this article!

ATi_Elite5394d ago

Consolers will be slaughtered like cattle at a meat factory!! Most consolers swear by the controller which in itself is a handicap.

Typical consoler "I love sitting on the couch gaming on the TV"
well my friend that couch will be your burial ground when you start playing against PC Gamers!

plus many PC Gamers like myself play on 3 screens which adds Peripheral Vision to FPS and that gives an even bigger advantage of being able to see more of the battlefield.

PC:
Dedicated Network Interface Card (minimizes Lag and prioritizes game data)
Mechanical Keyboards and Digital Mouse (Dead eye precision)
Peripheral Vision (see more of the field)
Monitors with 2ms refresh rates (allows quicker input from user)

Consoler: wireless controller but without the auto aim on a 5ms TV using standard on board Ethernet card in console!

I'm just sayen!!

If console version of Counter Strike is any lower than 60fps they don't stand a chance against PC.

ATi_Elite5395d ago (Edited 5395d ago )

even if the frame rate was 100 fps they still don't stand a chance PERIOD

Most consolers have been playing COD too much and have been dumb down. Counter Strike is hardcore and all about skill.

Luckily you will be placed in games with those of similar skill levels as a way to make it fair to Newbies.

iamnsuperman5395d ago

It will be at least a little fairer with PS3 users able to use keyboard and Mouse.

birdy9665395d ago

even if the frame rate was 100FPS.....it would still look like 60 anyway.....

user8586215395d ago

controller vs mouse? lol good luck with that

Agent_hitman5395d ago

PS3 will have mouse and keyboard support confirmed

CS:GO fans now frantically dusting off their Xbox 360s as servers are still online

One of the only ways to play CS:GO on official servers is via the Xbox 360 version of the game.

4 or 5 players in a game is not players frantically dusting it off

Jin_Sakai977d ago

We all know that videogamer.com went to each and every Xbox 360 owners house to watch them frantically dust off their 360s.

Vits977d ago

I mean it is a 1000% growth in the player-base. /s

mandf977d ago

Enough to write an article though. N4g new owners are insulting us for click revenue

Vits977d ago

@mandf

Nothing to do with new owners. N4G has always been the trashcan for game news and discussion.

northpaws977d ago

I love video games so much that I never have the time to replay the old one that I have finished, my backlog has only gotten bigger and bigger. I don't get how some people can play one game for years (except for mmorpg)

mandf977d ago

It's an exaggeration to the extreme. A way making an exclusive seen grander than it is.

Profchaos977d ago

Some people do I know someone who only ever plays dune 2000 which is rarely but still

RedDevils977d ago

Those Fifa or COD players do that every years.

Inverno977d ago

Wonder why they've never ported this game over to last Gen and now current Gen. This game would be pretty popular right now, I think.

Players Spent Over $100 Million On CS:GO Cases Last Month, A New Record

About 39.5 million loot boxes were opened throughout March 2023, right after Valve announced Counter-Strike 2. It goes without saying that gamers love gambling, especially those who play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

I have about 260 hours on csgo and have not spent a single penny on any of the microtransactions. You can still enjoy it since it's not pay to win.

‘Counter-Strike 2’ Release Date Nears As Devs Test Source 2

The rumours are heating up and it looks like Counter-Strike 2, the move onto the Source 2 engine for CS:GO, is coming very soon based on testing files found on Steam.

ZycoFox1176d ago

S&box devs already have access to Source 2 and have done for a while.

DOTA 2 was Source 2 but hardly anyone noticed/cared because it wasn't one of the Valve games most wanted. L4D3 was scrapped because Source 2 wasn't ready and buggy.

Half Life Alyx has been the only official Source 2 game that people notice so far.. The engine still looks pretty good graphically, but it looked far more impressive back in 2014 when the leaked plantation level that was rebuilt on Source 2 (for L4D2) was shown. Too bad it took this long for Valve to do anything with the engine.. with all the money they have I have to wonder what happened. Even a smaller dev studio could've produced stuff within a couple of years.

Richhard11174d ago

Not sure why this hyped tbh, it’s only in updated engine. Same maps, same game. So long as it’s top of steam listings, it’ll be here for evermore.
