Xbox - Ps4 crossover

in General Discussion (Xbox One)
I am wondering when the PS4 version comes out, will the people there be able to interact with those on XBox1 and vise versa. And if so, will both xbox and ps4 players be allowed in same guild?

    Actually, Sony and Microsoft have been tossing the idea of cross play around for a while now... it may happen... it may not...

    From what I've read on fora for other potential crossover games, (this is already a big talking point for potential Star Trek Online players...) Microsoft are up for it but, in public, Sony are smiling politely and dodging the issue like a hopped up TR on 10'000 Rec. They keep using words that make it seem like it just might be possible, but refusing to say whether they will.

    As someone who worked a long time in marketing, it looks and feels like they are trying their best to avoid doing it, but not HAMSTER their player base off in the process.

    Best way to give it a realistic chance is for PS4 owners to mobilise and petition their gatekeeper.

    We won't even be on the same mod. That would be unfair to them

    Why would you assume that? It clearly shows all the mods listed on the preview and most of the preview is content from our current mod... Plus, they announced the next mod doesn't release until august on PC, so September at the earliest for us. Putting them in the same mod as us as they said this summer for PS4 release... Did you see something contrary to all this?

    I figured they would start where we did, in mod5. That's sucks for them to not get to experience the best mod. If they do dump them starught to where we are now...I forsee a fail.

    No way would they cross over, they have a fresh new player base and thus a new source of income for the game. I personally think it could be a good thing in the end if it means all platforms get new content in the future.

    As for a cross over that new income source would be greatly reduced from things flooding over from the X1... So that would not be a good business idea or good idea in general.

    It would also be a tough mix for the PS4 lot, dropping into a game that is dominated by players on another platform who, (in some instances) have several years head start on them.
    It shouldn't make any difference in game play as all new players would be indistinguishable, but there are enough reasons for the SONY vs MS arguments as it is.

    I think in all honesty that SONY would prefer for their players to at least begin in their own version, and maybe open up some crossover servers at a later date. I don't know if that's even feasible, but it would give players on both platforms the chance to avoid the "Enemy" if they chose to do so.

    Like I say, it shouldn't make any difference... PS4 players would simply be joining the game as I did 2 months ago... with an already fully established society of PEOPLE. But rivalry and internecine attitudes don't often let logic and common sense stand in the way of a good argument.

    There are so many Games that are released for both PS4 and Xbox and none of those offer crossplay. It's just not going to happen for whatever reason.
    Beside, how are PS4 and Xbox players supposed to party up?

    NWO imports player data for parties and chat via the game (which sux) but there'd have to be a proper crossover between the two platforms to have console party chat.
