Imagine you were shifting platforms. Let’s say you wanted to go from potato visuals on a PS4 and really crank out the visuals on a PC. Buy the game again (fair enough), boot it up and grab your character from the cloud…right? Not exactly. Destiny 2’s current and most difficult raid boss isn’t some sort of irony-wish granting mega vagina-dragon, but Sony.
I love Nintendo’s Switch. It’s brilliantly designed little console that’s perfect for playing proper games on the go. It really is clever, but that doesn’t mean that Nintendo doesn’t do some completely ass-backwards thinking and implementation.

The day is slowly coming where all online players are treated as equals, regardless of the screen and controllers that they are playing on. Leading the charge alongside developers are the likes of Microsoft, who may be on the verge of taking Xbox Live to the next level of social gathering. Gearing up for their appearance at this year’s Game …
It’s taken what feels like forever, but Rocket League developer Psyonix has announced that their futuristic vehicular football game now has full cross play compatibility, meaning that PC, Switch, Xbox and PlayStation players can play the game together
The cross-play chestnut on PlayStation 4 is something that’s going to come up, again and again until Sony either backs down and lets its users play nicely with others, or they finally put their foot down and just say it’ll never happen. Sony has now come worrying close to the latter statement.
Fortnite made a massive deal of cross-platform play when it launched on Nintendo Switch during E3, essentially singling out Sony as the only platform holders that don’t really want to play ball. You’d think that the biggest game on earth right now would apply the sort of pressure needed to get them to shift their policy, but in the weeks …
For its own reasons (those reasons being business strategy and money), Sony refuses to play nice when it comes to cross-platform play. Microsoft and Nintendo have embraced the idea, allowing players from their respective systems join in on the fun, along with mobile and Pc players. Sony will let those on its network play games with PC and mobile players, but nobody else.
The conversation around cross-console play is one that continues, and was given a recent shot in the arm thanks to discovery that Fortnite accounts that have ever been tied to PlayStation accounts can’t be used on platforms other than PC and mobile. That’s right – if you’ve ever tied your Fortnite account to PSN, it can’t be used on Switch or Xbox One. Of course Sony’s not letting cross-platform play happen either.
Blizzard continues to delight players. This time, the developers have shared information about what’s …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
