Xbox 360 users may not be able to chat with Xbox One users

Examiner: "While we're not entirely sure whether this is a surprise or not, today, Larry Hryb (Major Nelson) has confirmed that he's unsure whether or not Xbox 360 users can cross-platform chat with Xbox One users."

this is what i hate about the news of X1, they use the word MayBe a lot which means 50/50

M.Cerny/youshi give a straight answer most of the time

JokesOnYou3925d ago (Edited 3925d ago )

Yeah but Mark Cerny isn't commenting on things like how cross game play with ps vita is going to work is he?...basicly its just standard hardware, ram, specs, and how great sony is talk. Thats fine but whos talking about exactly how the new features are going to work, how exactly is the touchpad being used, what kind of support for ps eye are we going to see at launch, and since they are on record about using the cloud also how and what games specfically use Gaikai/cloud cloud computing, while were at it when exactly and what games/plan for bacwards compatibility? You see dony is kind of silent or offer no details yet they arent being examined with tough questions.....neither has things 100% figured out, lol it could be worst if you remember last gen consoles launch.

Diver3925d ago

Cerny does give a straight answer. Not his fault peeps not askin other questions. ms has been the king of dodge. Everybody knows this an when you defend them it makes you look dishonest or worse not too smart.

An someone has to say this but the reason x1 owners won't be able to talk to 360 owners is cause so many 360 owners will be on the PS4.

No_Limit3925d ago

You do know the new cross-chat system on the Xbox One will be migrating to Skype, right? So why is there a big surprise that it might not be compatible with the X360, which isn't on Skype. Think and research people, before trying to troll.

RM-TatoTiburon3925d ago

well don mattrick said that cross plataform chat will be available for xbox 360 and Xbox One users...

But Don it's not longer at microsoft so we wont know until november

QuickdrawMcgraw3925d ago

Why would MS support cross system chat between the 360 and the 1.MS will act like the 360 doesn't exist.Just like they did with the with the Xbox.

"Yeah but Mark Cerny isn't commenting on things like how cross game play with ps vita is going to work is he?."

why should he even bother explaining that when it's already up and running with certain games between PS3 and Vita? The Vita was design with the PS4 in mind, so yeah...cross play will work even more flawlessly than the PS3.

Urusernamesucks3925d ago

@QuickDrawMcgraw

No, there's a difference this gen, the 360 was actually a BIG SUCESS(80 Mill sold),where as the og-xbox wasnt near(25 mill). Why would they support a froggoten console?

Fuck, the only reason sony showed support for the ps2 was beacuse it sold over 150 mill units And was still selling, seems logical doesn't it

nukeitall3925d ago

@badz149 :

What about PS3 and PS4 chatting togheter?

That said this is a non-issue, as Don Mattrick already said this is going to work:

http://www.polygon.com/2013...

This is the sort of thing planned ahead and designed for, tested and planned release. So no worries.

@QuickdrawMcgraw & Urusernamesucks:

What happened to PSP Go support again?

All the promise of day and date release when it was still sold wasn't upheld, and then it's life was cut short!

andrewsqual3925d ago

@JokesOnYou Sony JUST confirmed that PS3 headsets will work on PS4 fool. Something that is useful for us all to know. Gakai isn't out until maybe Summer 2014, why would they focus on that. They have LITERALLY been talking about the console features since February 20th starting with the awesome Share functionality.
Microsoft said businesses businesses can blah blah blah and they get free gold if they sign up to blah blah blah.

QuickdrawMcgraw3925d ago

@Urusernamesucks

Actually what seems logical to me is you just don't abandon 20 some million loyal customers who help put your gaming division on the map.In just a few months we will see if MS uses the same M O.

badz1493925d ago

@nuketail

what about the PSP GO support? ermmm... you can still play it with no problem! it just stop production but FW updates are still coming and more PSP games are available on PSN now then ever before. so...what's the problem? or you're just being ignorant?

kupomogli3925d ago

@badz149

Considering the fact that PSP Go is just a different version of the PSP, one that didn't sell well, Sony has still allowed for PSP and PSP Go support.

There aren't many games that are released any longer, but there are still games being released, with every one of them being released digitally since the launch of the Go, some(although this has been quite awhile since) having a physical version as well.

As long as the PSP receives continued support, the Go is also receiving support. The Go not being sold any longer doesn't change that.

Considering the XBOne, PS4, and PC all use Skype, I'm wondering if cross-platform chat is possible?

kreate3924d ago (Edited 3924d ago )

Interesting point.
Psp and ps vita have Skype too.

MazzingerZ3925d ago

Maybe I will get an X1, maybe if they drop the price or maybe if it removes the paywall or maybe if I get free games everymonth or maybe only if they do all that or maybe not...not sure

Electric-flamingo3925d ago

Hm. That's something I never thought of. I wonder if you run your 360 through the xbone, if them you could. Guess time will tell.

TekoIie3925d ago

You can plug your xbox 360 into your Xbox One... But of course with MS being MS we have no idea why we should.

Damn you Microsoft PR!!!!

iamlegend99993925d ago

That would be a cool feature if they did. Because i know a lot of people are not switching right away. So i might be alone on xbox one. But what the hell. I still got ps4.

AzureskyZ3925d ago

is this really news worthy?

admiralvic3925d ago

Of course it is. I pretty much assumed they would be able to do that much, since everything goes through what I can only assume is the same network. If someone from M$ isn't 100% certain the feature will work, then it's certainly something to question / think about.

AzureskyZ3925d ago

I really dont think its all that important-- more than likely with the exception of few games-- i dont think there will even be much crossplay between the 2 platforms-- is cross chatting really so important between two different platforms? Also Major Nelson doesnt know shit to begin with is it really fair to judge him for not knowing?
Until MS says something official its probably best to leave assumption out the door.

mac_sparrow3925d ago

"is cross chatting really so important between two different platforms? "

Personally i don't care for cross-game chat, if I'm playing single player i don't want to talk to you and if I'm playing multiplayer we'll talk if we're in the same game.

But given how much of a feature many users have made this out to be, I find it interesting that the possibility of being able to chat to people on your friends list who haven't upgraded yet to be unimportant just a little hypocritical.

HugoDrax3925d ago

Majority of the users on Xbox live I party chat with are all upgrading to the XB1 at launch, along with my family (5x). Also it was confirmed a while back that XB1 and X360 users would be able to cross chat. Link below

http://www.polygon.com/2013...

AzureskyZ3924d ago

Definitely good news for those who gonna pick up xbone-- the only part i disagree with the statement is majority of xbox live users going to xbone on launch-- you do know that there is 77 or so million xbox 360s and their wont be even close to that number out at launch-- i also think xbox might have stung some people the wrong way after their reveal and e3. Personally the always on or the used game market didnt affect me much as i always buy my games new and have a decent internet-- but until ms takes out the kinect and sale at least the same price as ps4 its a no sale for me, a pity since 360 is my primary system and i really want titan fall-- might have to get the pc version instead.

Electric-flamingo3925d ago (Edited 3925d ago )

It dosent really seem newsworthy.It kind of seems like an unfinished thought.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro4h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B1h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21831h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh1h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia1h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins1h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal1h ago

The first game was the best imo.

Hades 2 Is Already Fixing The First Game's Biggest Problems

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho515h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise5h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19894h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows903h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno3h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA2h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
