Lol, well M$ scrapped cross-platform games because windows live becamse free on PC since PC players didn't want to pay to play against each other when it's always been free.

The next ones coming out are FFXIV Online and DC Universe Online both for PC and PS3 cross-platform play. Plus The Agency is still due for release, which is another PS3 MMO, though they dropped cross-platform play for that.

So I'm sorry Huya but I think you're gonna be hearing a lot about PS3 MMOs and the advantage of free online in the not so distant future. It's also the reason theres no BBC I Player on the UK xbox 360 as the BBC offered M$ the service but M$ only wanted to give it to gold subscribers. BBC turned round and told them to stuff it because the British pay a license fee for BBC programs and M$ shouldn't be able to charge people to recieve their services.

 

 

Edit: As a further point it's interesting how FFXI is the only one to have done full cross platform so far, where many fail because of company policies and online fees etc. I guess Square Enix has a lot of weight to throw about.


Your forgetting the part that I play games to play games not to get persuaded in buying products that I don't want~~

 

Think I got my wires crossed there sorry dude. I thought you were just starting a random 360 vs PS3 rant and you were saying "I wouldn't want that" in referral to FFXIV being released and trash talk on forums. Rather than you talking about not wanting to play 360 vs PS3 due to them them trash talking ingame constantly. Wasn't trying to persuade you in anything just saying theres a few more cross-plat games coming out than just FFXIV. :)

 

I can see where you're coming from, but I think it'd make it more interesting overall, especially having 360 clans vs PS3 clans and the rivalry that would brew up from it. It's so much more fun having some friendly rivalry during games where you're kicking each others butts. :p

Yeah I get annoyed by trash talkers ingame. I was playing this halo match the other day and a player in my team told me ''Microsoft is an American company only americans are allowed to use xbox''. Though the concept of cross platform battles seem cool, people are waaay too immature and insecure this count for both sides.
