MS has a policy in place preventing this for all games, while the negatives you mention aren't applicable to all game types. Hence, it is preventing games from being cross platform that might be cool. I'm not gung ho about what I am saying here, but I think it's worth discussing. I would LOVE to have been able to play Fifa against PC and 360 gamers on my PS3. There are possibilities that could work, but this policy is preventing these ideas from ever being born. (but no doubt FPS for instance is a terrible idea) |
They have all the right to prevent cross plat play. I don't think any Xbox gamers care anyway.
Plus here:
"There was a project that got killed at Microsoft. This project was designed to allow console gamers and PC gamers to interact and battle over a connected environment.
"Personally I wish it would have stayed the course. I've heard from reliable sources that during the development they brought together the best console gamers to play mediocre PC gamers at the same game... and guess what happened? They pitted console gamers with their 'console' controller, against PC gamers with their keyboard and mouse.
"The console players got destroyed every time. So much so that it would be embarrassing to the Xbox team in general had Microsoft launched this initiative. Is this why the project was killed? Who knows, but I'd love to hear from anyone involved - what happened?"
