As Sony’s ‘Perfect Day’ (11/15/13) nears, more facts are coming out about the PlayStation 4 before it’s highly anticipated launch day.

A recent comment by Sid Shuman, the manager of Social Media at Sony Computer Entertainment, on the very popular PlayStation Blog, confirms that the PlayStation 4 (PS4) will support up to 8 participants in a cross-game party chat. On a recent blog post for a Killzone: Shadow Fall Q&A, a PlayStation gamer in the comments section asked about Cross-game chat and the amount of people that can participants, and Shuman replied by saying, “Party Voice Chat will support up to 8 players on PS4, like PS Vita.” Cross-game chat is a highly desired capability, gives players the luxury of being in different games and still carry on a conversation.

Many PlayStation 3 (PS3) fans have coveted the ability to cross-game chat, which unfortunately never showed up on the PS3. So this is especially great news for longtime PS3 owners upgrading to the PS4 early in its life cycle. Currently the only way to cross-game chat on PSN (PlayStation Network) is on the PS-Vita and only with other Vita owners. There is speculation that Sony will allow PS4 and Vita owners the ability to cross-game chat in the future as well.

Seeing that image makes me want white DS4s even MORE! Also that's pretty awesome. How many could do it on 360 at a time?

8 is an adequate amount any more and things will get overwhelming.

I think some games will can have more no? Like Battlefiled with 32 vs 32.

Edit - Forget... that's not "Cross".

I'd say 8 is overwhelming. I play with 4 others over skype on lol (so 5 total) and I find sometimes communication gets difficult with many people speaking at once, or there are moments where you aren't entirely sure who was just speaking. I'd be happy with a max of 4 even.

Those aren't official DS4 colour designs right? They look ugly :-/
The fanmade white PS4 was a Beauty though. Would take it over the black one in a heartbeat.

So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

That is lame, it should support 1080 players

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
