crazy online gaming idea every one will hate (I'm talking to YOU)

I'm sure this has been talked about before MANY MANY times (i think)

Muiltiplate games should have online portions that are muilty plate lets say cod5 for a my hypothetical situation

when connecting online to either Live or Psn you would be directed to Activision muiltiplatform dedicated servers. I now that the games process info differently but the game could be designed on both systems to transmet and receive packets from the dedicated servers the same way.(I'm sure there'd be more complexity involved)

I personally think this would be cool as my friends are made up of people who either own a ps3, or xbox360 and we would be able to play each other. I also think all muiltiplates should be like this so when it came to buying a system you would know you would be connected to all gamers in muiltiplate games and only had to look at the exclusive games and features of a console when deciding on buying it.

AS for online fanboy wars well there would be the option to play on muiltiplate servers or serves exclusively for your system so if you only want to play owners of your console you can. (those busy fightingwould be easyer to shoot.

I know this would never be possible as Microsoft would never allow there lemmings who are charged 50 a year play against those who could access the same muiltiplate server for free.

So what do you think (go easy on me:))

If only it was that simple... if only...

Not that the companies would do that, it makes more sense for them to try and milk you by buying the same console as your friends to play against them.

I do hate your idea, I refuse to play against the enemy, it would be unfair consideringn the 1337 skills of me and my comrades.ONLYDOD

But wouldnt it be intresting if you could fight against your enemy ;)

The Sony Brotherhood have grown used to the Dualshock 3 controller enough to put up an equal fight against you Xbots, your arrogance shall be your downfall.

Cross platform play seems to be a big devlopment issue with FPS inparticular, many games that have promised cross platform play have failed to deliver.Jynxzor

True!! The only game that has done it as far as I know is FF XI (PS2, XBox 360 & PC). Does anyone know any other games?

That is just BS. The 'superiority' of the 360 controller is completely subjective.

[QUOTE="ONLYDOD"]I do hate your idea, I refuse to play against the enemy, it would be unfair consideringn the 1337 skills of me and my comrades.too_much_eslim

But since the 360 is filled with 12 year olds to adults (kids cant affod a ps3 ) compared to the ps3 which has teens to adults the average ps3 user is probably better then the 360 user cause the kids are dragging you down.

To bad there isn't a game out there to prove this theory. I would crush you all and show you why the 360 controller is better.too_much_eslim

while its a cool idea, microsoft and sony will not let that happen, the most you`ll see is pc/360 and ps3/pc Dante2710

Like I said, your arrogance shall be your downfall, do not understimate The Sony Brotherhood.

More comfortable =/= Superior.. they both move as fast as the analog sticks move them.. set them to the same amount of movement per force.

DC Universe Online is planned to be cross platform between PS3 and PC, I think I remeber hearing that it might not be cross platform though.

yes it would be awesome to have cross online multiplayer

360, wii, ps3, pc

pc dont have to use Live as there not forced to like consoles. Unreal tournement 3 was pc/ps3

Like I also said before, playing against the enemy would be unfair considering our 1337 skill > your 1337 skill. I am finished with you no Xbot, The Brotherhood and I have greater matters to attend to.

Is the CoD4 on PS3? or do you still have a PS3?

Already happened with FF11.

But the thing is that the games would have to be exactly identical.

To bad you can't prove that. Besides I seriously doubt it comes down to who is using the superior controller. If you take the time to get used to controls you can be better than someone who is inexperienced with a 360 controller using only an arcade controller if you can handle it better.

Anyway, it's not really a matter of it being a good or bad idea, it simply isn't possible. Sure you might see multiplat games like Shadowrun doing this between a PC and 360, but you won't ever see any sort of deal between Sony and MS to do the same. And then we have the problem of the cost of keeping these highly expensive servers active for long periods of time that the publishers will not be willing to pay for. For something like this to exsist the gaming industry would have to completely evolve, and to be honest, at this point I don't want to see the industry become anymore foccused on multiplayer games than it allready is.

Shadowrun did it for Xbox 360 and PC, but that is pretty much it.

If this is so then pc gamers would flog everyone. Point and click is easier than using joystickSpanks113

This is the excuse that developers always use "balancing issues" is what they say. Well if someone on PC wants to play someone on 360, I don't think they really give a **** about balancing issues. If you are playing competatively than you wouldn't want to play cross platform anyway. Cross platform should just be there as a side thing that you have to select and it would have player matches instead of ranked matches. The people that actually want to do it don't care if the game is evenly balanced due to control issues.

No..i dont think this will work..

PC gamers would crush console gamers..its just not fair with a KB/M unless its against another KB/M

oh noes!!!!! somebody might have a very slight advantege over me now for some reson i cant have fun... ALL IS LOST!!!!:cry:

ShadowRun was great, but it lacked maps, and game modes.

NOOOOOO. If you don't mandate a single online system, you end up with a disjointed mess of 3 or 4 friends lists, separate voice apps, etc.. Look at how it is on the PC - do you really want that? I sure as hell don't.lowe0
