Not true with PS3 games and most ftp PS4 games.

Um. I like the way how you managed to twist Microsoft trying to push for industry innovation in to a Sony pissing match.

ATRL fanboys are something else.

I hope this happens. Modern gaming is all about community. Who wouldn't want a large pool of players?

This entire post is everything I was thinking. All the gaming sites and forums I went to were excited about Microsoft doing this and pumped to finally play with their friends with other consoles. For once, most people weren't arguing about this. Now I come to ATRL and the story is all skewed and messy.

Essentially, Microsoft threw the control to the developers to make online systems that are open. Rocket League is the first game that'll be trying this out. Soon enough, PC and Xbox players at least will be able to play together which is where I thougjt gaming would go to years ago since everytime a new COD or whatever gets released, the older one gets barren. This solves that issue since there will be enough players across multiple platforms to make more robust communities for many older and newer games.

Let's see what Sony says and I wonder if Nintendo will get in on this action eventually.

What should Sony say when they have been allowing cross platform play with PC, Wii U,3DS etc before MS did?

Kings.

I'm 100% on board with this.

You're not getting the point. Sony has been happy to do this for years yet Xbox refused because it wanted to keep it "exclusive".

Now the Xbox One has underperformed, it means it's more likely that players may have issues finding other players online which may makes the One look even worse. And now Microsoft is trying to act the hero when Sony has been open to the idea since the Playstation 2 had online capabilities.

And tbh, I think Nintendo might with the NX they really have no choice. I mean if they want third party support, it may be a factor.

Who cares if Microsoft lost, this is GREAT news for gamers

Hopefully this will inspire developers to develop multiplayer games that PC and PS4 players can play with each other in
