Cross Platform GTA Online?

[MiddayEnglishman]

My GF just sent me a text saying she can't wait till I buy her a gaming system to play GTA V with me (with lots of kisses) but I'm already dropping 4K on my own settup I have about £100 left for hers haha so am thinking of getting a PS4 so we can both play together like split screen and the like BUT I'd really like to play GTA Online with her and so will I be able to play PC > PS4?

My options right now seem like..

Rob a 7/11, buy second gaming rig for her
OR
Ditch PC and buy myself a PS4 (we're more likely to put a man on the sun first)

could do the same with the PS3 option lol

yes, but a cheap gaming pc (ok it will need to use second hand parts for most of it) has alot more benefits, and it means you get to make use of your new dream pc :)

ive linked this alot, but it really is the best alternative to a console ive seen

admittedly in the uk, it might be a bit harder to achieve some of those prices, but should still easily be doable for the price of a ps4, and there is a month to go to find the parts.

sweet but as said earlier in order to do that I also need to buy a new TV/monitor.. a gaming desk new keyboard and mouse.. it's not as cheap as building a new tower.. with a PS3 can just link it to my PC TV... done..

surely you have an existing monitor, as your replacing it with a new screen, and again, second hand on ebay you can pick up a screen really cheap, a mouse, keyboard AND a controller can all be had for less than £20 for the lot so it could happily be played from a couch, no need for a desk :) and if you were to hook the ps3 upto your screen,then you wouldn't be able to play gtav5 together as there is no split-screen anyway.

You're spending 4K on a computer? What a waste.

[fropessional]

how bout dont drop 4k on a setup cause thats dumb

[Bot George]

Who play on a 60" TV rofl you gonna get owned all the way. 24-27" with 120-144hz are the best for any fps gaming on pc.

[Kitai]

you shouldnt spend more then 1 to 2k on a set up also its not cross plateform

[MiddayEnglishman]

Do any of you guys realize how much money we get on disability? it's not a whole lot...

Also yeah she owns a PS3 to and has GTA V for PS3 so I could pick up another copy and play like that hahaa I got it well planned out that way we can play splitscreen games when shes here and online multiplayer when she's at home...

4k ? PCs dont even cost that much you can get top tier for 1500 max unless its alienware then you gotta pay that 200% extra premium price for the logo on your computer

Be her hero and help her ascend to PC gaming. Oh and they've recently dropped support for last gen consoles with GTA 5. They didn't even put this last update out for them.

Technically it is possible, the games for the different platforms are written with the same game engine, therefore the server software for the different platforms is the same.
And there is no reason the platforms could not communicate with each other.
They just need to hook up the different server networks with each other, and that's it.
No fancy code rewriting necessary.
Just like they did with the servers for each platform (There isn't just one server per platform, rather a whole server network per platform).
The game servers are not owned by Microsoft or Sony, but R* is the owner of the servers.
XBL and PSN are just login and firewall servers, nothing more, so there is no need to hook those up.
When you play GTA V Online, everything else goes trough the R* servers and rockstar social network as additional login server.
The only restriction is that in some lobby's there can't be more than 16 players online, because xbox 360 and ps3 consoles don't support it.
So yes, it is possible and not that difficult to implement, but Sony and Microsoft don't want that to happen, due to the console war that's going on.
Therefore the gamers are screwed basically.
