(FFIX realm reborn etc...) the question is : CROSSPLAY BETWEEN PC AND PS4 is coming or not? i need to know ....if not tell me to stop losing my time on this game......i had all my friends on PC....
(PSN)StoneRevolver Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Currently, it seems incredibly far away, if ever. So, don't hold your breathe
Psychosist Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I think cross-play has already been declared impossible, and at best we'd only have account migration.
Mirriky Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 They need both builds to be the exact same number. At the rate things are going (largely to do with how sony operates with updates) PS4 just can't keep up. Hotfixes almost feel daily right now while it can take days/weeks for a finished PS4 build to gain cert. I'm sure DE would love to have it, but I don't think they will be given that kind of window unless the wait time for sony drops.
Dtexas Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Cross play is only possible when the builds are in sync, however that cant happen unless: Sony makes so that DE can push updates whenever and how quickly they want (no cert). Or DE withholds PC updates so they PS4 and PC get them at the same time, HOWEVER, that is a horrible HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE idea. Reason being is if an update goes out and it ends up breaking something in the game, DE could fix it for PC right away but PS4 would be stuck with the broken thing for at least a week or two. Without PC testing, PS4's warframe would be a huge pile of unplayable bugs and glitches.
Joocyfroot Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 IMO cross play is simply not going to happen for this game unless Sony decides to let developers self-publish patches which is probably not going to happen anytime soon if ever. Steam box is coming soon though and hopefully all the console people stop giving M$ and Sony money, although I think that's a long shot.
Ether_SolRac Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Steam box is coming soon though and hopefully all the console people stop giving M$ and Sony money, although I think that's a long shot. you just had to be the person to go there didn't you... anyways i only see two ways in which something might even remotely be realistically be possible 1) DE introduces the test server concept that has been floating around, letting certain players field test the coming updates and try to reduce the need for immediate hotfixes, thus allowing DE to hold pc back long enough for ps4 to reach pc. 2) Sony revises their patching certification policy, or puts enough faith into DE that they will allow them to auto update. ( i remember hearing how some games were able to go through the cert system rather quickly but this may or may not be credible) and honestly the point i hate making is that now DE is going to be bringing warframe to the xbox one as well, the chances of a bridge between pc and ps4 was pretty much stabbed in the back after slowly dying for months. ( i have nothing against xbox and im glad more people can enjoy warframe, but i guess I'm still a little bitter from all of those false hopes of cross-play)

(PSN)friedricetheman Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Cross play has already being enabled for War Thunder (basically a F2P game) between PC and PS4. Ditto for Final Fantasy Realm Reborn. If it is possible for two other companies to implement cross play, I don't see what is holding DE back on it. War Thunder also have very frequent updates from my 1 month of playing it. So, its a matter of PC players not getting their updates for 2 weeks for both parties to be in sync (since PS4 gets our updates once every two week)

VioDuskar Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) There's no need for that. Are you trying to rile people up? no i am not, but he said all his friends are on PC, and asked if he should quit wasting his time on PS4, and if all his friends are on PC, then he shouldn't waste his time on PS4 hoping for a server sync or cross play. it's not possible due to sony's restraints on updates. on a PC he would get: the newest updates, to play with his friends, and better graphics, if he so chooses. while i'm on the soap box, a PC is also a PC. whereas a PS4 or XB1 try to also be PCs when they arent.

I really don't think Xbone and Ps4 are "trying to be a PC" anymore than I am "trying to be a PC"
VioDuskar Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 I really don't think Xbone and Ps4 are "trying to be a PC" anymore than I am "trying to be a PC" now we are getting off topic, if you want to discuss this futher feel free to PM me. On topic: OP, my suggestion based on what you are looking for is to swap to PC before you get too far invested in your PS4 version. alternatively, if your friends have a PS4, convince them to migrate their accounts to PS4. these are your only two solutions.
(PSN)KachafazCL Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 is there any official info? cmon devs .....
koopagon Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 remember yesterday when they broke sabotage missions? yeah... that would have sucked for PS4 users
Mysteryman2000 Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Since DE is not using servers on there side and everything is done client side to a point the PS4 updates take longer. If everything was done server side, and DE was handling servers most patching could be done on DE side, and most patches that ps4 and PC users would have to deal with would be UI patches. The only time PS4, PC, and now :cough: :cough: xbox one :cough: (did I just get a cold?) would be in sync would be when they are done releasing updates or they are going to release an update every 2 weeks. Anyone want to guess when this will take place?

So, its a matter of PC players not getting their updates for 2 weeks for both parties to be in sync (since PS4 gets our updates once every two week) Those games are already in full release. Warframe is still in Beta. There's constant updates and constant need to check for bugs. Square is a huge company. They have a department that checks for bugs itself. I read somewhere that DE has roughly 200 employees total. Imagine how much Square has in every buliding they own. They can afford to have more people and more company divisions for specific things like testing.
Cpt_Atroxium Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 1. Servers would be needed, dedicated, rented, donated etc. 2. This is a long shot with current built management. Sony has the blame here, with having vertifying as a qualification for the build, the sync is out of order for the task to be completed. Meaning the PC build will be ahead and the PS4 can not cope with that in terms of cross play. So nothing to hope for just yet, I personaly would love this in the future. Of some kind.
(PSN)NicoTheSneakyGuy Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Cert is the least of the problems, the bigger is problem is that they only got 3 people working on porting updates, or so I heard.
