(PSN)Octodog Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I was just wondering which one you would prefer (this one's mainly for PC players.)As I see it right now, we won't have crossplay without PC having slower updates, so I was just wondering if you guys over on PC think it's worth it for crossplay.

MrStrongSemps Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 i dont think it would be worth it, because as cool as it may seem all i see is more bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angius Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I don't think that crossplay will ever be a thing. Even if we'll get the updates at the same time, PC gets at least a few hotfixes the very same day it came live, so the builds won't be in synch again. And hotfixes for PS4 are not possible thanks to Sony and their certification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunero Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) It would be a disaster. PC has superior controls anyway, PS4 players would not be able to keep up during very high level defense for example which would result in the PC players blaming them, so in a nutshell it would cause endless conflicts between the 2 platforms. You get the point. Edited April 5, 2014 by Momo93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NjaII Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 And, I regret talking to PC players again. How do you guys always manage to make me do that? Don't think about other players, PC or PS4. Imagine you don't know anyone who play on the PS4. Crossplay give you nothing but slower updates. Do you still want Crossplay ? By saying that, I don't say I don't want Crossplay. I don't care or... to be honest, I don't have a word to say on the final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of friends on PC, too, and one of the only reasons I decided to play this game was because it said it would eventually have crossplay. (and in case you're going to ask why I didn't just get this on PC, three things, 1: I don't have a PC that can play games well, or, for most, at all. 2: I'm not going to go buy a PC just for Warframe. 3: people have different preferences. You guys could like PC, and I could like PS4.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal of my message was only to show you why PC players may not be in favor of Crossplay if the only effect it have on them is a negative one. Those who have friends on PS4 will probably want a crossplay system. The others.... Not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiqalicious Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I choose for sony to get their crap together and get serious about crossplay with pc games.That is my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babalenong Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 while it would bring many problems such as ps4 players taking forever to type on chat or need to use mic that some players isnt very comfortable with, it would vastly increase playerbase and thats a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And seriously, you got upset because someone pointed out that consoles are inferior gaming rigs to computers? Do you get upset when people point out that McDonalds is an inferior restaurant? Consoles are good, and enjoyable, but they are essentially PC's with locked down OS's and hardware specs locked into place. They are run by companies who are super controlling of every little thing that gets done on them. Consoles are great for console gaming, but I don't understand why people seem to think they are going to go head to head for *PC* gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)SUZOOKUS_MAXIMUS Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I don't believe DE was proposing cross play. Just PC player migration. I doubt many PC players will make the jump. Just those with maybe PCs with poor specs or a laptop that isn't that suitable for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the cards didn't fall in such a way as to allow that, as the builds have to be in synch. Sony's certification process pretty much means the builds will never be in synch.

Yeah they said a few devstreams ago that migration would happen before build sync. (Which may never happen IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got upset because we are part of the same game, and we shouldn't stoop to saying that one platform is better than the other. It seems a lot of PC players like to say that a lot when we aren't even in topics comparing the two. This was a simple topic asking if PC players would rather sacrifice update speed to get crossplay, or keep the update speed they have but with no crossplay, but someone had to come on saying that it's just because PS4 is inferior to PC, and that's why we don't have crossplay. I realize that it's our fault mainly for not getting the updates fast enough, but do PC players always have to point out that PC is better than PS4 in a lot of our threads? (sorry about that, I got into rant mode...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think that we can't keep up? The only thing I can think of that we would be slower at is aiming, but even that's not bad at all. We can still aim just fine and as quick as we need to, just as we can move as fast as a PC player. (That question in the first line was not rhetorical, by the way. I really want to know.)

Mouse and keyboard controls will always be faster and more accurate. If you like you can google it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
