Xbox One opens up cross-network play to PS4 and other platforms

Mrs. Keira Marks MD says:

That's not an FPS though…

Christy Lemke says:

I see that as the console players problem if they don't want to invest in a mouse/keyboard. It's the same as playing a racing game where someone is using a wheel, the other a game controller.. My concern would be that they some how dumb both online experiences down to the lowest common denominator

Dion Schowalter says:

Horrible idea. I can see the PS/Xbox cross platform working, but mixing pc and console is bad. The whole idea of having a dedicated, sandboxed console is to not have to worry about hackers and performance based variances in cost and quality of system components. I see this as being more of a marketing ploy than anything else. There's no way you are going to see titles like Call of Duty go cross platform with PC. It would ruin the "even ground" skill based competition. Oh god, I just used the word "skill" as relates to a video game. Kill me now.

Prof. Hosea Rempel MD says:

So why not use a keyboard and mouse on a console?

Prof. Garrett Tillman III says:

oh my

Dejah Durgan says:

For the same reason I use a gamepad on PC, convenience! Plus, whilst the consoles may support keybaord/mouse if the games don't it's not the same; a mouse movement of a certain distance would just equal the control stick being pushed all the way that way, anything further would do nothing from what I understand.

Miss Natalie Treutel says:

That was just one example. I'm talking with all games.

Miss Savanna Weissnat I says:

Dear General Public,

DONT COMPLAIN, THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO FINALLY SETTLE THE SCORE.

THANKS

Mr. Rico Luettgen MD says:

It will be interesting to see if they require a game pad on PC to "unlock" the cross-platform play… I can't see game developers wanting such a performance gap on their products ruining the gameplay.

*edit: or vice-versa with mouse/keyboard on a console

Carole Quigley says:

Yea i dont see COD or any FPS AAA games doing this, just simple fact of cheaters ,and auto aim bots programs.. too many varibes on that end. And i play this on PC with high end graphics.. not much differance i can see..

Dr. Retta Skiles says:

Who cares what the devs want, actual consumers have been clamouring for it!

Dr. Shawn Lueilwitz II says:

How is this different from me having a PC running on 2x NVidia 980GTX's on 3-monitor surround with graphics on all extreme, playing against someone on a dual core machine with integrated graphics at 720p on the lowest settings possible?
