How does it make sense in this day in age (20 yrs later) to still have to use my mp3 player and headphones to listen to the music I wanna hear while playing games when theres a perfectly capable, multitasking console in front of me? For 371 USD my 360 does it in every game, but for 532 USD, my PS3 only does it in a handful of games (most of which I don't care for)??? I really hope Sony makes it mandatory for devs to include it in every game, or at least comes up with some kind of built in audio sourcing solution for ps4. |
It's a nice feature on the 360 and I think the difference is that like chat and parties, MS made this music player tied in with the OS' libraries, rather than leaving it up to developers. There seems to be some developer control over it; some MS published titles in particular will pause the mp3 player during the intro vids. MW2 doesn't mute its soundtrack at all when the music player is running, so there is definitely developer control over the function.
