Believe it or not, one indie developer has revealed that Nintendo has told them they can add cross-platform online play with Xbox and Playstation users. Of course, Sony and Microsoft would have to allow it themselves for this to happen but its a big step for the entire industry that Nintendo seems willing to make first.
Vanillaware's tactical role-playing game Unicorn Overlord is a beautiful mix of old mechanics and new-age graphics, with over 65 unique recruitable characters and a rich storyline.
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
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
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.
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.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
If you’re hyped for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, then you can play the first entry of the RPG series on PS4 and PS5 now for a very low price.
I expect Sony to follow Nintendo if anything of the big three, especially since they are trying to get their titles on every device possible (not saying Nintendo can play Sony games there)PC is prob a given, considering how open it is and how many games this gen does it already.
In reality, I would love to see all three parties take advantage of this, I loved with Portal two especially that it had it's own network so you can add PC/PS3 friends (well, it is Steam so). Of course there will always be the issue of loud mouths shouting and trolling each other over the mics.
Hey now!!!! Dont forget us PC chickens...
We want in on some of that cross platform action too ;)
EDIT: I dont want to come across as an ass trying to start a console war but could MS's dedicated servers block cross platform online play?
Nintendo is usually the first to do anything, in the video game industry, Like motion control, give it six months and the trolls will be swearing it was sony and microsoft who did it first!! Will this happen with games like call of duty and splinter cell for all three systems? who knows? but I think this is a great way for friends who have different machines to play together on multi platform games, this will catch on, and hopefully sony and microsot will pick up on this idea as well.
Just look at things like Portal 2, Skullgirls, etc. So IF there is any problem with this, it won't come from their end. And Nintendo will allow it also apparently so......
Great Nintendo are open to it but there is an issue with servers which means this is next to impossible. It all depends on who servers the game runs on. Nice Nintendo are allowing this but it is a bit of an empty gesture as it is next to impossible to implement (especially when the console go through their platform ecosystem to even get online. i.e. Live, PSN...)
Lot easier to go from PC to console as the servers are run by the same people. Much more difficult on consoles with differing ecosystems
