Multi-Console Online Play?

Just say, I got a copy of the brand new spanking game, " Generic Fps 21" , Hyped for gods knows how long, published by Ea and got it for my brand new Ps3, I pop it in, go on online, you know, to met my victims.

Anyway, Wouldnt it be nice if people on the other side on the 360 land with the same game, play with us?

I mean a Live and Ps3 Online Link up Service.


Its unlikely that M$ and Sony would work together like that, but it would double our online players.


But one can allways dream...

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

No it wouldn' t-
I can just imagien all the fanboys getting togetyher

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Cross platform?!

360 owners will be able to play PC gamers in certain games when Vista is released (Shadowrun likely being the first title to properly utilize the capability).

It' s possible for 360/PS3 online compatability but unlikely. I guess it' s going to be down to the developers and whoever runs the games servers.

That' d be pretty cool. Other than gaming with friends who are too cheap to buy both consoles though, I don' t see much point. I could go have a fragfest with Sony or Microsoft fanboys, I don' t really care which.

Shadowrun is gonna be a experiment,if it works good they might implant it unto other games,like perhaps forza2.

But if it wont work good,and people doesnt like playing against PC-gamers they gonna skip it.

Also they gonna be more generous to the people who play shadowrun on their 360,amking it' s easier to get HS and to hit targets,while on the pc,not.

Seeing how the mouse give you advantage.

yeah, it would take fanboy wars to a whole new level.

Hey, that would be sort of fun....

Haha I could see it now.

PS3 Player: " Haha, I totally killed you ' cause I have the totally better system. My HDMI capability helped me see you better, meaning, I killed you."

360 Player: " Your system looks like a toaster, and we took all of your exclusives. And oh yeah, looks like I just killed you."

PS3 Player: " Riiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer!!!!!!!" *Quits Game Right Before End*

Oh, the sweet Fanboy Wars FPS will be out in Fall 2007. Be ready.....

First multi-platform game is ALREADY OUT! Just, nobody here was paying attention!

FFXI

Like Majik said, it' s up to the developers to implement this on their servers.

yeah...cross platform online gaming would be great but just imagine if Wii came along PS3 and 360´s online games:

Ps3 guy: " hey shall we play a game?"

360 guy: " sure...what game?"

Wii guy: " hey, i am in too"

Ps3 guy: " ok...then we could...hum...play ...Pong?"

FFXI isnt a game,

Its an MMO.


There is a diffreance.

the best part about pso was once sega said they would have cross platform playing.
But then a few things changed, the ngc version got some new stuff and it fell apart.

Too bad.

Dreamcast had free online play.

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Yeah anyone remember pod2?.

Loved it to bits. I just fired up ChuChu Rocket, and MAN! that game is GREAT!

Nintendo aren' t the only guys that make quirky puzzle games.

Need for Speed Underground was cross-platform between PC and PS2. Was a nice idea, but it didn' t work very well since the differences between the platforms (no official pad for PC, less power for PS2) meant compromises all round!

Hence they took it out again for NFSU2.

360 and PC should be more interesting as the 360 pad works with PC and they should be capable of similar games, but there are still some big differences so it would still mean some compromises (like the m+k vs pad with auto-aim thing).

Imo, too much multi-platform cross-compatibility isn' t a great thing.

Actually isnt MS hosting all servers for XBL?

fps would be unfair cross platform, with pc players having an obvious advantage, but racing games would work well

Not really. If you play an EA game over live (i.e. BF2, Burnout) then it' s on EAs servers.

Nintendo Wii and the ds have Multi-Console Online Play.
