Sony: "Cross game voice chat will NEVER come to the PS3"

To be fair... they never said they were WORKING on it... as in, it was coming. They said they were looking at doing it... hell, who knows, maybe after that they finally figured out that they couldnt actually do it. Either way, Sony never said it was coming, or that they were working on it... they danced around it though. I'm glad they finally came clean.

Why arguing that talking to 8 players on your a cell phone is just as good as crossgame chat is just logical.

You can do anything to communicate but is it convenient is it reasonable, sitting on my latop while gaming and maintaning skype which all my friends would have to get and my random firends while I'm gaming on a console no thanks.

That wasn't a confirmation that it was coming though.

The closest to confirmation by Sony was by James Thorpe on the EU PS Blog. It was quickly edited to "I just want to clarify a comment I made to this post yesterday about Cross Game Voice Chat, which seems to have caused some confusion. I can't confirm if or when Cross Game Voice Chat is coming, but as I said, when I do have some information to share with you, I'll let you know."

I have the links and will post them after I figure out the error :P

Edit:

I can't link them so here is the article from CAV:

Good because I will NEVER care about such a useless feature when there are things called cell phones and blue tooth available that are superior anyways.

ive been getting the same error :P

The site is glitching again, you can only quote one person, thats how i got around it :P

on topic, as i said earlier, there is no way sony would definitely know they COULDNT do it, and be able to announce they couldnt, if they werent working on it. Common sense really. It was confirmed they were working on it when they said "we cant do it because of RAM"

What I don't understand is , if sony can implement in game video chat then why can't they just do the same with in game voice chat?ultraking

I thought by your statement, "I never believed it was coming anyway, despite what sony and its fanboys said," that you meant Sony promised to add cross game chat :P

There of course is a difference between working on something in hopes of it coming to fruition and actually promising that it will work out and be released.

Having games is better than cross game chat :)

TC, I got news for you. Both the PS3 and the 360 are crap(hardware wise and mostly software wise) compared to the PC and the available platforms(Steam, etc). So who cares if they both suck?

Agreed (even though I don't use chat much anyway :P).

Microsoft certainly had more foresight with regard to online gaming and interface features. They developed the universal achievements system and it was in place since day one. Cross game chat, being able to play your own music in any game, including a head set with every console, voice messages (in addition to text messages)....it just seems like Microsoft had a much better vision of where things were going and how to make the experience better for gamers.

[QUOTE="hoosier7"] As a counter to Grawse... You can get a free service like skype on most devices that many have throughout their homes, since the PS3 doesn't come with a mic then just get one you can use with the PS3 and the device. There, free cross game chat.DragonfireXZ95

I'd only make two changes inthat it wasn't necessarily a better vision of how things were going but a base and flexibility that allowed them to move with the needs of the market. For example Sony had all these plans of video chat and so on but didn't have the base to build on it well.MS were sat on a formula which while didn't buy them success in their first gen, did their second.The other change would be in music playback, it don't think it's a major sell point and the painfully awkward ways to get the music to play nullifies it for me as it simply becomes easier to just plug in some speakers to a device.

I said the same thing months ago. If it didn't make it by 2010, it won't ever happen and here ya go.:P One things for sure though, sucks for those that don't get to experience it but want to.:(

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="Grawse"]That sounds hectic. Good luck trying to convince 5 friends to buy laptops or sit at their desk top to do that.

Cross game chat would be a nice option but I don't think id use it that much.. when I'm playing a single player game I'm not trying to hold a conversation with somebody.. and if I'm playing an online game id rather talk with my teamultraking

This. Seriously, you must all be teenage girls if you care about chatting even when playing video games. My view is video games is my time, i'll speak to my mates when im out socialising.

I had a 360 and never once used cross game chat to talk to mates, we would either play the same game and talk or we'd just talk when we went out or at work.

Just dont get the appeal but then again i wasnt your average 360 user in the age bracket of 13-17 years old. If PS3 did have cross game chat i wouldnt use it anyway.

I personally could care less for cross game chat, I hardly ever used it when I had Xbox LIVE so I'll be fine without it trust me.

This isn't to say that I don't understand why other people enjoy it, just because I don't care about it doesn't mean other people do not. And several people get alot of enjoyment out of that feature, I personally do not but hey, everyone is different and that's cool.

This DOES NOT mean that the PS3 or PSN has "failed" like you claim. PS3 is still selling alot and PSN has around the same number of people as LIVE, so there is no "dooms day prophecy" like you believe in.

If you enjoy the extra features of LIVE and don't mind paying for them, then LIVE is the "better" service for you. If your like me and you don't care about that extra stuff that LIVE offers and you just want to play online without charge than PSN is the "better" service.

It's all just a prefrence and no one is "wrong" for liking one service more than the other. It's only wrong when you think your prefrence is better than somebody elses.

And why did you make a new account for this?

Good, who wants to talk to other people while playing?kuraimen

Who says your playing? , wow never having used it must really effect your perception of how it's used :shock:

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] I just used my 360 when my friends and I played Demon's Souls. We had both hooked up, but just used the 360 as a party chat device(don't need Xbox Live gold for this as long as you're not in a game or anything) and played Demon's Souls on the PS3. Worked fine with us.hoosier7

Can't just copy mp3's from a stick to the hard drive, i like just having everything there for me to use but the only option is for me to set up a stream or burn CD's onto it. My music collection is too cluttered, large and growing to keep using a stick. With a stream it means i put on my PC where i may as well just plug my speakers in, can access music sites and radio then too :) Never been able to get iTunes to work with the 360, not sure but i think it might only support media player which has only a fraction of my music on. I'm not a fan of streaming either because of how i run a Minecraft server it means people can access what i set to shared. So i'd rather leave my sharing setting to off. It's easier on PS3 as you can just copy mp3's from a memory stick, download on the web browser or copy by streaming (only have to turn the setting on until it's copied). Then it's all on my PS3 online or offline.hoosier7
