Fortnite Crossplay Feature Works Incredibly Well

Gaz from Gameondaily explains why Fortnite's crossplay feature works extremely well between PC and PS4.

This makes me really wish Warframe was crossplay between PC and PS4

[gangsta_red]

I wish Warframe would fix a lot of it's UI issues.

"Fortnite prompts you to create an account with Epic Games on both consoles and PC before you play the game."

Waitaminute...what!? That is definitely going to turn off a lot of people.

I never believed the whole K&M vs Controller thing anyways. Especially today's controllers being the way they are.

Great article Gaz from Gameondaily, hope to see more in the future.

you dont have to make Epic account I skipped it

[BlackTar187]

K& M vs Controller is real thing.

[gangsta_red]

I challenge you!

[BlackTar187]

i will take that challenge

I've yet to check this out, but keep on hearing great things about Fortnite.

[ExPresident]

it's fantastic. Fun game just to play and not be to serious. Easy to pick up and learn to and you can do a lot better by learning to build on the fly. As long as they keep it so nothing in the MP mode can be purchased to make you better then it'll remain great. You can't go wrong checking out the MP mode for free!

[BootHammer]

I'm glad it's doing so well and I definitely hope they keep the loot box and PTW nonsense out of it. Looks like Epic Games and Gearbox have a winner on their hands if they keep it going in the right direction.

So here we have yet another article begging PS4 to join crossplay with xbox at least this one acknowledges that PS4 already has crossplay with PC.

Why would Sony help Microsoft in Europe where they are outselling xbox 4 to 1? Sony offered crossplay when the numbers were more equal last gen and Microsoft declined. But of course Microsoft wants to paint Sony as the bad guys here even though it was their own bad decisions last gen and with the vision for the xbox this gen that put them into a situation where they need to beg Sony for users.

[gangsta_red]

Exactly where in this article does it beg PS4 to join crossplay?

In fact this article not only acknowledges that PS4 and PC are crossplay but it's the whole damn article itself.

[gangsta_red]

That quote is far from begging PS4 to join crossplay especially when the rest of the article is about how great it was to play against PS4 gamers from his PC.

And in the same quote that you put he even makes mention of MS not being all talk when it comes to crossplay. He actually called out MS in that same quote.

"I love the part about "industry standard""

Yes, he wants Microsoft to make it an industry standard to have crossplay between all gaming platforms. What is exactly the problem with that? Are you seriously opposed to having the opportunity to play against more players on PC, Switch, Xbox and PS4?

I'm failing to see the downside to having this an industry standard.

You took a small portion of the total article and ran with just that and now you're claiming clickbait.

@makd

I think you are really going overboard and focusing on your own perception of the meaning "industry standard".

The author said he hopes he didn't say it was going to happen, he is clearly saying that he hopes that crossplay with other consoles becomes a standard. Industry meaning the video game industry, that is all.

How that translates in to MS opening up their API to everyone at free will is beyond me.

"Microsoft hasn't released to the public what those requirements they are suggesting are.."

You do realize that it's not just MS Sony turned down. It's the RL developers, the Tekken director, the ARK developers and some more, are you trying to say that they also gave Sony some sort of requirements that were in favor of MS?

Some of you are also assuming MS is asking for some type of ridiculous requirements that Sony must follow with no proof of your own to back it up. You're making it up and then running with it as some sort of defense as to why Sony turned them down.

It's not clickbait, it's a story about how well crossplay works and how seamless it was between PC and PS4. Instead of celebrating that you and your other took one small portion and turned it into a MS propaganda/clickbait argument.

[Xx_Pistol_xX]

The same cross play that was removed from the Xbox version of the game in update 1.4. BUt XBox is cross play friendly.

[SierraGuy]

Yeah now they are.

[gamer7804]

doesn't work as good as it used to! lol

[neocores8055]

FYI... YOU CAN ONLY PLAY AGAINST PC PEOPLE IF YOU ARE IN A PARTY WITH SOMEONE FROM PC.... So no you will not be matched up with PC people if your i a full PlayStation party...

[ZombieStalker]

The constant jumping and shooting tactic is killing this game. Whoever has the best jump and shoot skill will always win. PC players will naturally be able and jump and shoot with better accuracy. They need to introduce stamina that limits the constant jumping.

[mochachino]

Didn't know this game supported cross-play.

My appreciation for this game just went through the roof. I hope other devs follow suit.
