Dying Light 2 Crossplay Not in, Cross-Gen Not at Launch, Story Can Be Finished With 4 Players

Techland has confirmed that Dying Light 2 crossplay won't be featured, with cross-gen not available at launch. Story can be finished with up to 4 players.

porkChop1223d ago

Are you serious, not even cross gen play. Wtf? It's a game built for 4 player coop and we're in-between gens.

SurgicalMenace1223d ago

There are plenty of systems out there, bro. Can't keep supporting last gen.

porkChop1223d ago

Huh? What do you mean we can't keep supporting last gen? The game is cross gen. It's releasing on every system but the Switch. But the game doesn't have cross gen co-op. So PS4 players can't play with PS5, same with Xbox One and Series gamers.

SurgicalMenace1223d ago

Yes, we should stop expecting it anymore.

Nitrowolf21223d ago

“Can’t keep supporting last gen”

Only that’s exactly what they’re doing??

My_Name_is_Earl1223d ago

Lol bro just say you misunderstood and let that be that. Not the hill to die on.

CorndogBurglar1223d ago

What you're saying isn't wrong, but it doesn't fit here.

Yes, they should start to let go of supporting last gen. I agree.

But this game is on last gen consoles lol. It only makes sense to have cross-gen play on this game.

SurgicalMenace1223d ago

It doesn't make too much sense because it's not there. I say good, start focusing on developing a next gen only ecosystem. Incentivising the new system purchases.

thesoftware7301223d ago

Surgical,

Sure they can, MS supports it, Sony Supports it and the vast majority of 3rd parties.

In a sense Techland is as well, they made ps4 and Xbox versions lol. They just 1/2 stepped on a few feature.

CanadianTurtle1222d ago (Edited 1222d ago )

"Plenty of systems out there."
Lol what? Considering how hard it is for people to find PS5s in stores due to shortages, the developers absolutely should've made cross-gen play a priority

You can expect it until 2023 at the very least.

gerbintosh1223d ago

Maybe they aren't supporting cross gen play due to loading times being significantly faster on the current gen than last gen

Sephiroushin1223d ago

Yea i asked for a refund, preordered cause I read it was going to be crossplay so was gonna play with friend that are on ps4, me on PC, its even more stupid that not even crossgen; oh well 3 sales lost

What I hate about co op games like this is only the host player makes real progress, you can't go back to your own and have the same progress so it makes it redundant.

Fishy Fingers1223d ago (Edited 1223d ago )

They (devs) cover that in their latest and last video https://www.youtube.com/wat... they've actually given thought to that.

dsammy041223d ago

My Co-op crew on PS5 so we should be good. But this would be a bummer if not. Considering the dev cycle you would of thought this would be included on launch day at least on the cross-gen scale.

PTMG1223d ago

If I were to download the digital edition which features both gen version and install the PS4 version of the game onto my PS5, would I then be able to play with my friends on PS4?

GortJester1223d ago

Yes you should be able to no problem

Lexreborn21223d ago

Everyone I would play with is on current gen so I’m not to concerned. But it is sad that if I have the PS4 and PS5 copy I wouldn’t be able to play with my son. They’ll probably. Patch it later who knows

I finally beat DL2 this past weekend. I’ll pick up the Beast for sure.

got_dam113d ago

It got a lot of shit from fans more not being as scary at night on release. I was in that boat. But once I gave it a fair shot I really loved it. The movement was so much more expressive to me. I enjoyed the story too.... for the most part. Was my game of the year when it came out. With all the updates for darker nights and all that, it's even better. I feel almost exactly the same about stalker 2 right now. The erojank games are scratching my itch.

MaximusPrime_189d ago

Both Resistance games will be "streaming only"

JEECE189d ago

So unfortunate. I'd subscribe to premium in a heartbeat if I could play Resistance: FoM for real on there. But game streaming is and always will be trash.

OtterX189d ago

I wish the Portal would do PS+ Streaming. I really want to play these handheld on it. :\

MrBaskerville189d ago

I wish they would release them properly. But have been playing Ratchet and Clank games om streaming and it works pretty well these days, where I live atleast, so will probably give them a shot regardless.

Knushwood Butt189d ago

Guess I'll be trying streaming for the first time then.

darthv72188d ago

Until they remaster PS3 games properly for play on the 4/5... I keep my 3 hooked up for just these situations.
