Crossplay?

[Jay]

y/n?
I'm guessing no

[Shini]

nope, sorry.

I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but I hope you guys realize how important it is to keep the player base as big as possible for multiplayer games, fighting games included. I'm sorry I'm meeting the very long awaited announcement with a rant, it's just that I don't get the logic behind some of the decisions, looks counter-productive at times.

Anyway, super excited about the game finally coming to PC, will make sure to buy on release!

Arc favors crossplay in the same platform family.
IF this found its way to Mac or Linux, I think crossplay would have a chance.

Because it a great cost and three months later the console players are playing Revelator anyway. They are already losing extra profit puting the DLC characters in-game.

May not be feasible or within their control, but crossplay would be an awesome feat to see in Revelator/future additions. Would certainly help liven up the PC scene, and make it feel not so isolated from the rest.

In the meantime, this is still awesome to finally see this on steam. Thanks for the early x-mas gift!

Very rarely do games have crossplay because you need to keep both game versions matching and you need to get your own servers to do it.

Mike Z from Skullgirls touched on this. PS3/4 can crossplay because Sony will allow you to use their servers but no PC crossplay because then you aren't allowed to use Sony's servers.

^Except certain games like SFV and Portal 2 (I think) uses Console to PC crossplay.

Portal 2 uses Steam servers, Valve is loaded.

Street Fighter V is using Capcom's personal servers.

Lab Zero is an idie dev team of like 8 people that rely on other companies and backers to make their games. They don't have the same resources on hand like Capcom.

30-45 people play at any given time on playstation in the western world. Japan has a few hundred that play. I bought this on the black friday sale for $15 and I love the game, but I only managed to get into a handful of matches over the past week. So I don't think crossplay is much of a loss.

I just hope this game can get a decent community going on PC. Most fighting games are dead on steam sadly.

Try asking around to form or joing fighter groups.
People are there and willing to play, but it doesnt mean they are gonna sit and wait all the time in-game.

I also have to wonder why crossplay is not allowed? As its not hugely active on consoles anymore, I would assume a player base from PC would be quite welcomed, and I'm sure it can be done.

Also to the earlier comment. Blazblue:CT was crossplay with X360

That's because it was microsoft servers due to Games For Windows Live.
