Quote:Yeah thats why I was thinking anything but fps, you're at a clear disadvantage unless the games forces some lame measures to even it out, but pretty much every other game the difference would be negligible.  Minus RTS of course but then again they would have to make console rts games (ugh halo wars) and nobody wants that lol.  I think a moba (my new fav genre) could work (maybe something like smite) for cross platform.     

It's technically possible to use a keyboard on a console as well, just less practical and massively underutilized and supported. RTS is terrible on console. I could see SMITE working because of it's third-person perspective, but something like LoL would be significantly harder to play on a console and the "community" is already less than kind to players that don't execute everything perfectly.

 

I just don't see console/PC crossplatform being favorable to the console players in most instances. I'm not against the idea, I just don't see it as game changing as, say, XBOX/PS4 crossplatform.


Also, for the sake of fairness, I feel as though I should point out that SONY has done (or rather allowed) crossplatform multiplayer in the past. Portal 2 is the one that comes to mind. I know that it is in very limited cases but it has been done.


Also as someone who plays on PC and console, I'm incredibly excited that the PS4 controller will work on PC at launch!

 

EDIT

Oh, and the pompous attitude of those who are the "PC master race" won't make cross platforming enjoyable in a lot of instances. You think the 12 year old kid talking about your mother is annoying? Wait until you have the "PC master race" snorting at you and your status as a "console peasant." That'll be fun.
