Why offer cross play, when you can deny it and then force an additional user to have to re purchase the game on PC

Makes sense to me if i was doing it

Makes no sense at all. U can sell more copies if u have at least cross progress(which prevents a user to play through the boring stuff again as example).

but thats just my thoughts about it. i have my opinion and u have ur opinion.

U can implement Cross Progress und Cross Play. But u still need a legal Copy of the Game for each Platform.
- PC needs 1 Copy
- Switch needs 1 Copy

I can imagine that cross play can be a challenge(switch hardware limits etc.), but cross progress shouldnt be that hard. other games with much smaller dev teams have already done it (and dauntless also have crossplay accross all platforms).

Was going to buy Rise for PC and the Addon lator too, but without Cross Progress i dont see why i should do that.

I have a MH Rise Edition Switch and going to buy the addon on release.

I was hoping i can use my Switch to play MH Rise Mobile, while im not at home, like during a train ride or visiting my parents and playing with my brother some quests etc.
and back at home i can play the same savegame on PC (which is my main platform).

i hope we get a community tool to transfer the savegames

If something wasnt programmed from the beginning, especially something involving multiplayer, then it's a literal ♥♥♥♥♥ to add later on. Its why when making video games, one of the first things is deciding if the game with be single player or multiplayer, because the framework is 110% different for both. You can find this in the programming for A LOT of games, even single player ones, where theres an option for 2P or what have you, just so that things dont get screwed if changed later on.
Dont Starve and Dont Starve Together is an amazing example. They couldnt just make Dont Starve multiplayer, they had to completely program a new game from scratch to make multiplayer.

Survey for MH:R asking about Crossplay/Cross-save was probably just marketing data for the future MH game, and since it's been slated to become a regular for PC, they'll probably consider it with the growing desire of gamers to have cross-play and cross-save with other systems. Sales are likely to increase with that as well since it exponentially grows the amount of available people to play online with.

It really does suck they love to double dip.
But generally I think they're scared of PC players playing with the console lads.
We got ourselves some real people who pay full price to cheat and disrupt a game.

if they love the double dip, they would allowed cross save/progressions :)

[Frijolito]

yes

Why would they allow crossplay/save? It would be a big smack in the face of Nintendo who paid close to 6 million dollars for timed exclusivity. Just to see a awful lot of folk ditching Sunbreak on Switch and instead buy it on Steam after they tasted more than 30fps Rise gameplay.

Course Capcom is not gonna "offend" their rich "friend".

Same reason DMC 5 on pc didnt get the same treatment the console versions did. Cause it would "hurt" the consoles since the performance and experience is much better with a decent pc as to console when it comes to the well optimised engine that is the RE engine.
Not trying to be some masterrace etilitist scum.

Capcom doesnt want to hurt their friends. Atleast didnt, since pc is gonna be a bigger focus for them.

Just wait a few days and you will have people who can transfer your Switch save to PC, did you not see what happened with MH Stories 2?

The same will happen with Rise.

[PR PUNISHER]

Yo can blame Nintendo for there being no cross play, Nintendo is super stingy and only want their ecosystem to exist....

Cross save on the other hand is possible and I think Capcom saw enough people ask for it. That's the whole reason Capcom had the survey, too see what potential buyers wanted.
