When Will We See Cross Platform Gaming Online?

I think shadow run tried it but wasnt so successful. We would then have a real "Console War" instead of this watered down mess we call SW.

When we see the Big 3 connecting their networks together, which is basically not going to happen.

They CAN connect it with the PC without any agreements with another company, but that doesn't happen because keyboard/mouse users tend to destroy controller users when it comes to games, so there's no point.

Nope. There are so many problems with it. But if they do it, they need to do so much. Some people don't want to play against people with mouse and keyboard and some pc players don't want to play with consoles players.

Not anytime soon really. :P

We probably won't see it for a LONG time, but I would love to play it, just imagine all the arguments. :P

Dreamcast Vs PC in Quake 3?

360 Vs PC in Shadowrun?

Final fantasy something?

Playing a FPS from your console, whichever it is, against someone playing it on a pc will get you so frustrated you won't play the game again.

Consoles vs PC. Might as well play against bots. Both are worthless at FPS games.

PS3 vs 360 would be fair

not so much with PC of course

As others have said, we've already seen cross-platform online with games like Shadowrun. If we're talking cross-console play though, that'll happen when we figure out who'll take responsibilty when the **** hits the fan and the network gets hacked.

Might as well ask for a unified system.

Quake on DC ? :o :P

I dunno, I've had high hopes of it happening a bunch more this gen but thus far, few and far between. :?

d%^n..thought I would make it in here before this comment...never fails..LOL!!

I know its unrealistic but man it would be cool.

We already saw it Quake III Arena on the Dreamcast was the first Cross Platform game you can play with people on the PC.

Shadowrun by FASA was Online between PC and 360.

I'm not sure if DC Universe Online, or any other Sony MMO is cross platform play between PC and PS3.

We've already seen it in limited form :P
