PS3 getting cross-game chat and voice messaging

PS Home Community Manager CydoniaX has revealed that several features are in development that a lot of PS3 owners have been clamoring for, particularly cross-game chat and voice messaging.

The reveal was given in a discussion thread in the PlayStation blog where one user gave the following comment:

When are we getting game launching abilities for every multiplayer game in the PS3 library? Why is it that the most basic of features for both the XMB and HOME get prioritized and delivered before all the extra stuff?

1) XMB - Voice Chat across games

2) XMB - Voice messaging(30 sec clip)

3) HOME - Game Launching for all games

CydoniaX replied:

All that stuff is still in development, game launching started with Warhawk and should be supported by all future game spaces now. It takes time, but we haven’t forgotten about all the stuff that our users really want!

Now don't go all excited - Sony's got a lot on their plate right now and we likely won't see these features for some time yet., though I'm hoping I'm wrong on that point. At any rate, at least we know these features are in the works. Ah, I can imagine cross-game chatting now:

"I got fragged! Where were you? I needed backup!"
"Dude, I'm on LittleBigPlanet."
"Oh."

^Thanks bro.

I think this leaves Cross-game invites as the only thing left to do right?

I hope you are right Euphoria, but it isn't exactly an announcement.

Thanks for the input, Jeff.

I know, it is at least confirmation that these two features are most likely on their way.

I figured at least some people here would like to know.

Cross Game Chat > Cross Game Invites.

Why not just tell them to join your game in the middle of the conversation?

Thatnks for the info Euphoria, the cross game chat is a big thing right now since alot of my friends are playing different games than I am right now. Cross game invites can wait, but its still important.

@ Euphoria

Well, the BIGGIE is cross game invites, though I'm not sure how they would be implemented

It wouldn't work, unless they installed a multi-disc Blu-Ray drive in the ps3, so it could switch games for you automatically.

Or do you mean inviting friends who are playing the same game to join you via XMB? :P

@ outlaw

Once you've grown used to Cross game invites, as I have with Live, you realize just how nice the addition would be to PSN.

Useless to me. Like the party system. Dumb, imo.
