Crossplay between PC and Xbox?

[Toadofsky]

Make it happen, Fatshark!

I'd finally be able to play with some of my console peasant friends.

So, a bajillion of "noobs get out reee" treads don't raise any concerns at this regard?

Not in this case. In my experience the usual problem with people in higher difficulty games is bad positioning, poor game sense and bad teamplay. Not aiming.

That's bs. I've seen console players be as good as PC players, and just as bad if they just want to faf around and not think too hard about what they're doing.

Unfortunately we will not be able to do this.

Just looking past all the technical and red tape challenges (as well as that the game is balanced for controllers on xb1), deploying patches to console is a much involved process than doing so for Steam so it would hold the PC version back way too much.

That's a damn shame, but understandable. Thanks dev!

Amazing game, btw!

Precision isn't the only problem with controllers. They are simply slower overall.
Ps
What on earth is game sense anyway?

Game sense is "when to use what". You are an IB, when to use that taunt? You are a Sienna, when to charge in shotgunning the wave? You are a ranged DPS, is it safe to switch to a ranged weapon to kill that special? Shall i drink that potion or shall i wait with it?

Its common sense to you and me but that common sense is developed through countless hours of playing the game.

VT2 isnt CS or Quake where you require extreme motoric skills but i wont argue on XB players having a hard time hitting a flying assassin.

Yea they don't even use the same difficulties. Controller peasants can't handle it.

Ah, one of those essential, yet unquantifiable and unteachable skills that you can never be sure you are learning until you master it completely? Those are always a joy to be dealing with.
But I digress. My biggest concern about controller users is actually their inability to observe surroundings quickly enough. If one hears packmaster coming after him from behind, can he turn around, take aim and kill the bugger before getting caught?

I would by this game but my roommate has an Xbox and i have PC. I normally play my PC games with controllers anyways, at least make it a play anywhere title for Xbox so we can play together!!!!!

It's weird. Some games like Deep Rock Galactic have cross platform but only if you get it on the MS store. Was hoping they'd extend the courtesy to steam users for their other games.

Beside taht fact for the reason many others alrady stated I don't actually want, like hell MS will allow Xbox and steam crossplay, if you ask MS, their store should be replacing steam

): having this game on the PLAY ANYWHERE program would be incredible ):
