Forums - Sony - PS3 Cross game chat????

Cross game chat has been the most requested feature from ps3 users for ages now, but still we dont have it,  though xbox has had it ages. And its all i want from a firmware, though recently someone from naughty dog hinted at the possibility of it comeing soon.

so what do people think will we ever get it and if so when??

he didnt hint at the possibility, he said it WILL release in an upcoming firmware, must be soon since thats why they didn't add a feature to U2.

^^Actually all rumours point to it being in the NEXT firmware update..but who knows.



Next fimware update hopefully.

That is, if ND guy was telling the truth



                            

I don't need it so I don't care

Could be Xmas present from Sony.



Has there been any indication as to when the next FW is due?

I hope this improved the voice quality slightly aswell, this will be the most important update the PS3 has seen for me.

And I love the way it was revealed.
Good old Sony, even when they can keep a secret one of their dev leaks it.



I doubt I will be making much if any use of such a feature. But could be a nice extra for some people who really want this. Personally I disable the message notifications as well while gaming.

If I really wanted this I already have my laptop in my living room... But if I do receive a phone call or something I pause the game... Voice communication within a game like Warhawk can add to the online gaming experience (within Playstation Home, etc this can also be useful), but talking with people who play an entirely different game than you're playing seems a bit useless to me personally.

I am a bit surprised many people request this instead of for instance instant video pop-up messages (for instance which can be disabled for specifically gaming, movie watching, etc) or something as simple as an agenda with alarm and popup notification functionality. I can imagine so many different features, which seem more useful or interesting to me than this one.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."

PS3 vs 360 sales

i want it
