Forget About Cross-Game Chat, PS4 Will Feature Cross-Platform Chat

"The feature will allow you to communicate with your friends at any time, enabling you to chat about the weather even if youre enjoying completely different games. This functionality, however, will expand to the PlayStation Vita, too.

Responding to fan queries on Twitter, likeable Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that the Party Chat feature will work across systems, meaning that youll be able to keep in touch with your buddies even if youre playing on completely different consoles. The next generation is going to be glorious, isnt it?"

Nice. Vita is boss, glad I bought one.

VIta? Great for those 3 people that have one I guess.

Can't they just get skype and have real cross platform chat?

SDC baby

No-one with a Vita to chat with though :(

Emmm Xbox Live and GFWL are technically same service, which means you can message and join party chats between them.... problem is no body cared to notice that people think they are separate service It's like people have no idea that in old battle.net you can chat without players from other games and join there chat room, to makes things more fun... they have no idea that they can use same account to all old battle.net gamesShadowriverUB

GFWL is going offline next year, and you could never join party chats with GFWL. The only thing you could do is invite someone to a private chat. 

360 already has cross-platform chat.  I've talked to my 360 friends from my PC plenty of times. 

And this news isn't even special if it's only Vita <-> PS4.

I thought the PS3 & Vita had the same amount of RAM, so why wasn't cross party chat ever added to the PS3, if the Vita is capable of it? Good news anyway, I guess. Consternated

The vita has more system ram than the PS3. 512 vs 256.

EDIT: There you go. Says it right in the first sentence. "And Gaijin Entertainment is especially proud to announce that there will be cross-platform multiplayer battles between PS4 and PC users."

thats pretty cool but Skype on the Xbox One allows for cross-platform video chat.. Any device with the Skype app will work.. That's true cross-platform chat right there..

Now if only anyone on this planet owned a vitasilversix_

Welcome to the 21st Centuary.

All the hardware/software manufacturers have ever had to do is agree with each other over which voice coms system to universally use. Be it Teamspeak, Ventrillo, Skype (MS would prefer this as they own it) etc. and we'd have had cross system chat years ago. With Skype you'd even be able to call someones phone on the other side of the world from your console and if it was implemented like on PC it wouldn't cost you anything either.

Slowly the console manufacturers are absorbing the lessons taught to them by the PC. (except they'll probably find a way to charge you more money for it)
