Arrowhead Game Studios CEO confirmed today that Helljumpers will have Cross-Play (PS3/PS4/VITA).
[b]What could this mean for Destiny and Sony players? Do you think we may see cross-play in Destiny as well?[/b]

[quote][b]Pramath Parijat: Helldiver is, by nature, a social game. Will it utilize any of the unique and powerful social capabilities that the PS4 offers developers and gamers?[/b]
Johan Pilestedt: The PS4 has a lot of social features that are built-in to the machine which hardly requires any effort by the developers, such as screenshots and video (we even use the screenshot to capture any bugs we encounter while developing).
The game is cross-play between the PS4/PS3/Vita – which means that you can have your friends over with their vitas and have them join you while you play. Voice is another key feature and we’re encouraging players to use the capability to coordinate with everyone for the best experience possible.
[b]Pramath Parijat: Helldiver will be cross play on all three platforms that it is coming to. Can you give us some insider info on how that works? [/b]
Johan Pilestedt: The game is cross-play between PS4, PS3 and PS-Vita. Basically we try to make the integration as seamless as possible, so joining someone won’t necessarily tell you which platform they’re on – this shouldn’t matter as the players will just match up with other players that are about the same rank as they are.[/quote]

Edited by TechnoKat: 2/16/2014 3:20:02 AMSomehow I don't see how PS Vita is logically included in the cross play there... The lack of flexibility in the vita controls seem too much of an outlier unless they've added bigger analog sticks to the design. Edit: left out the "bigger" o.o

USplendid I enjoy your posts...I'm sorry to take away from it...but does cross-play bother anyone else?? Is it just me? Who decided cross platform wasn't good enough...and its too close to cosplay....sorry it just bugs me lol

Although it's positive, i think [u]long-term[/u] it won't matter much, everyone will [i]eventually[/i] move on to next gen.
-
I don't think they will have ps3 and ps4 together. Sounds too complicated
-
I'll bet my potato on it.
-
DCUO does it also so we know it's possible let's just hope they can bring it to Destiny
-
why not bring up FFXIV? that game will be cross play for ps3, ps4 n pc... or so i've read

Sweet. Hopefully that means Destiny has a good chance of being cross gen on PS.
