You do seem to be making an issue out of something that's nothing.
You're basically saying the Switch has kickstarted a new generation by itself. If this was true we'd be referring to the PS4 and Xbox One as last gen except no one is. I kind of think that's the most telling part of it all if we're saying the Switch is next-gen but we're still calling the PS4/Xbox One current-gen. The only other explanation is that we don't actually consider Ninte...
Why? It's an Adult game and its on Steam. What's the issue?
With that said it's not like having no anti-cheat system would result in no cheaters.
Its a lose or lose situation for companies, unfortunately.
You pretty much cover a large portion of the 3rd party market with that combo and get solid 1st party offerings no matter what your preferences are. Solid combo.
@Godmars290
Are you saying KH is that weak a franchise that it couldn't make its money back? If you believe that then 3 is destined to be a flop in your view.
@Kevnb
I'm sure it would do good. Not like Disney struggles in the west so a franchise that makes heavy use of their properties should perform well.
@Mr_Winter85
"Because its the only legit way to play NES games on the Switch?"
And?
To be honest I don't understand why the KH remixes are only in PS4. Between the Xbox One and Switch there's something like 50-60 mil consoles? That's a good sized audience to release a game for.
I want the Spider-Cop backstory as DLC. Thsts the true origin story we need to see for this Spiderman.
Haven't got high hopes for it personally. Maybe it'll improve over the course of a year or two but my initial impressions are more than likely going to be negative.
Is it good that Nintendo are doing this? Not really. It's an unnecessary restriction. With that said if there's a risk of you being unable to connect online for more than 7 days I question why an online service is even on your radar.
You're probably not even able to download the title let alone think about the check-in if your internet is that choppy.
Then do what Fortnite does and request an option to turn crossplay off within the game. Or is that too difficult?
Not like the hottest story right now is a crossplay one on the front page of N4G lol.
@Rhythmattic
Okay but am I PC Gamer? Nope I'm just someone with my own opinion. Attacking them and showing me other articles on their site doesn't change my opinion or show me why it's a good thing that Sony is denying crossplay among consoles. No one as of yet has actually presented a reason for denying crossplay other than "I don't care about it".
You not caring is absolutely fine. But it doesn't justify their stance when n...
@Sampsonon
Most don't get the budget of games like Spiderman, Star Wars and Riddick.
They more than likely have a similar amount of freedom (althought i'd say that's more because the backers dont care that much) but are constrained by dev time and budget. It's very easy for us to say licenced games can be successful once they're given the backing of a huge publisher like Sony and an experienced team like Insomniac but most companies ca...
@Raiden
"i believe this is the main problem facing Sony, there Server can't compete end of excuses and of all this side stepping crap
I actually think their servers are more than capable. Overall this is just the same pattern we see every gen. The industry leader always gets overconfident and thinking they can control what they have. Happened to Sony with the PS3 launch, MS with the Xbox One, and Nintendo with the Wii U. They get overconfident th...
Lol settle down there boi. Lets not start any flame wars in the comment section.
40% increase is incredible though. It seems like it's attributed to lots of huge titles being successful early this year.
@ShadowWolf712
"Not being able to play Fortnite or Rocket League with a dude on Xbox is not on the same level as forcing people to use a phone app for premium voice chat or telling people their cloud saves are subject to deletion if their subscription lapses."
Nope, but it is bad that they're telling 3rd parties what they can and cannot do with their own servers. Why should Sony even have a say? Sooner or later many games on every platform w...
@Godmars290
"PS+ isn't mandatory. Or rather, its only really needed for online multiplayer. its not needed for MMOs, singleplayer games much less basic online access."
Just the majority of releases that have access to multiplayer like AAA titles lol. I do like them keeping F2P titles and MMO's out of it though they get credit for that. But f you want to play 90% of the multiplayer releases it is mandatory. That's why we say online pl...
@Nucky64
The topic is about crossplay and all of a sudden we can only talk about Microsoft. It's absolutely fucking amazing.
"using cross-play (or anything else they can think of) to deflect from major issues they have such as a lack of quality 1st party games or forcing people to pay them a fee for "free to play" games?"
So once more we're talking about Microsoft on a topic about Sony's stance on crosspl...
I'm going to hold off on it. Want them to return to a free model. I'm not interested in any of the Big 3's services because they lock online multiplayer behind it and there's no reason to.
At most I'll buy a month when Smash releases but I'd rather push as hard as possible for them to keep online free. If they want another subscription service then I'm all for considering it but it shouldn't lock away accessibility to a game I've already ...
