Re: More Studios Call Out Sony's Console Cross-Play Beta

DirectAim

@themcnoisy I have done, literally bought my daughter a PS4 yesterday. Previously she had an Xbox 360. The point I was making was that cross play is useful and welcomed by many people, just because you deem it an unfair advantage... I presume because your a "pro gamer" doesn't mean it not a fantastic move in the right direction for many people. Kids especially find this useful, the fact my son can play with his friends from school who are using a Switch or Xbox is a wonderful and fantastic feature.

@David187 Epic Games literally enabled cross play without ANY input from Sony. This was reported when gamers noticed they had players from other consoles in their lobby.

Weird how Epic Games enabled cross play without any involvement from Sony...

Also, who do you think runs the game servers? Its cetainly not Sony. Each developer will run their own servers so stress on the network is down to the dev/publisher who by the sounds of it are sat waiting and ready (in the case on War Thunder dev anyways).

@David187 The stupidity in these comments is unreal, Sony isn't running a Beta, cross play requires ZERO input from Sony. It's purely a legal grip they have over developers. Fortnite was cross play without them even knowing, the developers can literally flip a switch and enable cross play.

@themcnoisy cross play allows me to play games with My kids who now love many hours away, I can play and talk to them no matter what device they use, if your that bothered about a competitive advantage don't join cross play lobbies, it's not rocket science.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on EA These Days?

DirectAim

More than anything, EA should start phasing out microtransactions. (56%).

This just shows how out of touch most gamers are, microtransactions account for billions in profit for EA, they are around to stay and no matter how much you dislike them, your the minority. Microtransactions have been unbelievably successful for publishers and developers, they'll never go away.

Re: Talking Point: Could Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass Model Work on PS4?

DirectAim

It's wrong to compare, you can pile up Xbox exclusives and they won't get the same sales and just one PS4 exclusive, sea of thieves looks great and I'll get it but it's not going to be a big seller, neither is crackdown or state of decay, do we really think they'd be pulling this stunt if Halo 6 was 3 months away?

Re: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Will Survive PS4

I won't hold my breathe, consoles have been waiting for a game like this for ages, I class it in the same bracket as Dayz and H1Z1 and they still aren't on consoles. Ark is the only fun survival game that's come out that actually uses multiplayer and it's a joke it's the only one out

Re: Sony Agrees to Review Investigation Process after BBC Report

@themcnoisy you as a parent should do a better job of monitoring your son with your bank card, it's not EAs job to deal with parents who allow children to purchase digital products then want a refund!

Anyone who inputs there card details into a console or phone without understanding the risks are idiots.
