Is Cross Platform Play Officially Dead

I know it would require the builds being in sync and that has yet to happen. Initially it seemed like there was a lot of excitement about having this and we received updates regularily and now it seems to just be silence. Has there been an update on this that I have missed or has it just been completely dismissed as impractical?

 

As a reminder of the past enthusiasm:

This is interesting.

 

[Creative Director Steve Sinclair] told Sony at the show that he wanted Warframe to be updated every week or two weeks, and that players would be able to team up with PC users using cross-platform. They agreed no questions asked. It surprised Sinclair as he initially feared there would be many political hurdles blocking his team’s ambition, particularly when cross-play was concerned. It was a non-issue for Sony.

 

So wtf happened?

Meh, I wonder if we gave Sony enough money would make them take Cert away from Warframe...

I think you don't understand. Certification is mainly Sony just testing that update works fine. Don't causes reproduceable crashes etc. A lot of devs can have their updates pushed onto PSN in 2-3 days. DE already showcased a massive stinker - Vauban vortex crashing the game. I bet now all their submissions are checked extra carefully. If anything, Sony is waaay too easy on them.

But if the exception was made, Then Sony wouldn't have to worry about that, Because if DE found a bug crashing the game they'd hotfix it right away, I'd pay for this to happen.

cross play will come eventually, after DE is done with making the game totally playable from early game to endgame, balancing, equipments, and finally syncing both builds so both versions would be the same. there are so much missing things from the game, pc version is like their field test for bug testing and change testing, while PS4 is the finally perfected version of the update

Have to disagree a little with that, Sometimes the updates for PS4 also create PS4 specific bugs.

what happened is instead of doing a small weekly update, they wait until large updates are ready and then release that. it seems like the bigger the update the longer it takes for sony to get through it. DE needs to do weekly updates, i think everything would work smoother, and they would get more used to working with one another.

i got an idea,

why cant DE make a copy of our frame, if DE's got those stuff on ps4, why cant they just do the transfer.

Because you aren't paying attention.

 

1) Not everything on the PC exists on the PS4 due to update lag.

 

2) Sony will completely and utterly balk at anything that allows purchases made outside the PSN Store to be placed on the PS4, cause they don't get a cut of any of that money, and there is no guarantee someone will spend again once transferred.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but cross-play(if added) would possibly be a negative thing for PC players.

 

Everyone knows PC controls are vastly superior for the fast-paced movement and shooting of a Warframe speedrun, and the PC players are going to have to wait for the PS4 players to catch up.

 

You all know this is true.

from what I've seen on the forums their are plenty of people on pc who like making rus hers wait already so it won't really change much. And if your rushing why would you be in a Pug? Never understood that.

but the bugs from the initial release of the update is fixed right? ps4 specific bugs is inevitable because ps4 have different technical specifications than PC

PC controls are more precise. The effect of being able to turn a second faster would not impact overall gameplay significantly. In a PVP situation it leaves console players at a disadvange, bout woudn't impact PVE too dramatically. Besides I would hapilly make this trade if it meant most of the locations on the galaxy map were not deserted.

Specific bugs that make the game unplayable in a way.

 

Let's take for instance right now, 12.4.4 Bought a Region Lock bug to PS4, My star map is deserted and I keep getting spammed with invite requests, I had to block the entire Region chat, And  by entire Region Chat I mean 5 people, Becuase that is pretty much everyone for me right now.

Not true, I use a ps3 controller to play on pc and I can keep up with K/M players just fine.
