(PSN)Valar_Morgoolis Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) So Sony jus announced that today the open beta for cross play for fortnite on all platforms will start and that they will also reveal other selected games which will also be allowed crossplay, down the line. This means we could potentially hav crossplay for Warframe aka tripling our player population on consoles as a whole (xbox one, ps4, nintendo switch). How yall feel bout this and do yall hav any worries on how this might affect our player economy? P.S. Yes we know that crossplay would not work with consoles (xb1, ps4, nintendo switch) and PC (remember PC isnt really considered a console) which is why for crossplay to work, it would only be for xb1, ps4, and Nintendo switch effectively excluding PC which sucks but nothing we can do bout it since yall get updates before us console players due to the certification process.

Vandole Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 The news I've read included PC as well. Is that false? Crossplay sure would be nice but I feel the economy on consoles would be trashed. PS4 plat is much more worth compared to PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Valar_Morgoolis Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 It did include PC but if u think about it remember that PC for warframe gets their updates first so it wont work for crossplay with consoles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaotyke Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Sadly, the PC wont be possible because of certification costs and subsequent different update build. But if the 3 consoles are able to crossplay, I will give one clap to Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s probably a good solution, crossplay but no cross trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)Skippy575 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I feel like cross-play between consoles is still a ways off for us WF players. But it certainly opens up the possibility down the line. I wonder if the Sony announcement also includes Minecraft for cross play. That's the only platform that doesn't have the Bedrock Edition yet.

nerfinator6 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Depending on how DE is going to manage the switch version, there should be crossplay between the switch and console versions, but not the PC version, since it takes a while to update the console versions due to certification and all that nonsense.

Sean Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) Would be nice if there was some "opt-in" branch for console users that would allow "Experimental" updates that would be on par with the PC builds, but just any player in the "Experimental" branch wouldn't be able to play with other players on the default branch. Would be similar to how it works on Steam. That could be one route for allowing crossplay between all platforms.

They're behind because of the certification process. Basically you are not allowed to release anything for the playstation until it has been certified by Sony. Or on the xbox until it's been certified by Microsoft. Which means that once a build is ready, DE has to send it in and then wait for it to be certified before it can be released and made available for the console. So it won't really be possible to have an experimental branch. Well, at least an experimental branch would still be delayed, since it would still have to go through certification before you are allowed to download it. Which would defeat the purpose of having an experimental branch in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have worded it better in that I'm meaning "It would be nice if Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo added an opt-in branch....", and if there was such a thing it would have large text detailing the risks of "experimental" and "non-certified" updates.

(PSN)Hanyabal Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I think it would be nice to have more ppl in trade. A large market to sell rivens and a larger amount of rivens to buy sounds sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBone142 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 (edited) No crossplay cause different builds... And I guess no one ever thought about delaying the updates on PC as well until they get the green light on all versions. I wouldn't even think about it for a second if only that would be the problem to play together on all platforms.

PC is the only build that is different which has already been mentioned, consoles on the other hand is a whole other story as they drop the updates the same day same build which would allow crossplay Edited September 26, 2018 by (PS4)AZN_RH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring in general to all the other posts before me whose immediate reaction to crossplay was "it's impossible cause of the different builds consoles and PC have", and to me it seems that none of them would consider not releasing updates until they get their certificates on each versions.

trst Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Sony's recent drama regarding crossplay isn't the reason Warframe doesn't have crossplay. I also doubt DE would ever spend the time and money to make crossplay functional and not have it include their flagship platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
