Will I only be able to play with Xbox players on this game?

Microsoft refuses to work with Sony.

That's funny, because there's already been a cross-platform (PS2, Xbox 360, PC) MMO.

..And it was an MMO run by Sony.

Only going by what I read.


I'm a xbox player I want a cross platform to happen for Defiance.

The only game that I know of that has been cross platform was Shadowrun.

While certainly not common on either Xbox or PS3 (why is it only MS gets called out for this when Sony hasn't exactly been big on cross-platform either?), I can think of at least three -- FFXI (PS2 pre-slim, Xbox 360, PC), DCUO (PS3, PC), and Dust 514 (still in beta, I think, and only kinda-sorta in that parts of it interface with a PC game).

There's also more to it than the tug-o-war between Sony, MS, and PC stuff...which is, Mouse Aiming. PC Users, imo, would annihilate Console users.

If you talking about PSU then you are wrong because PS2 and PC were cross but Xbox was stand alone. Also why does everyone blame Xbox for the no love working together because its both of them.

I'm...so sad now...gamers will never unite... :'[

PSU was when i remember right:
PC+PS3 together but split in regions (US JP EU)
Xbox alone but worldwide playing (and the last servers that were shut down)

except for shadowrun there was another PC/Xbox crossplatformgame (futuristic RTS). name is somewhere lost in my brainwastebin.

It hard to say why this won't be possible, but my best guess is down to how the patches will be applied, if im not mistaken for xbox to have a new patch on a game actualy cost the company to have it hosted and it not cheap. P.C is straight up patcher buisness from Trion them selfs,

And of course there this

its not hard to say, because everyone is right. people always try to look for the smoking gun. THE reason, at the end of the day its all of the above, its because ms are money hungry, its because of patch issues, its because of network issues, its because of logisitcal issues, its because sony and ms just simply dont like each other.

the only thing i would say is this kb/m thing has been gone over a million times. and it is true to a degree. in certon games kb/m has got an advantage, its the games where speed and reaction above all are key. Take COD for example, 1 bullet is the matter between life and death. that spilt second reaction with the mouse would win most times. HOWEVER in most other games thats complete rubbish. take BF, the winner is the guy who has the right weapon, at the right time, and has the tactics to know how to read the map and predict enemy movements to know where to strike. only a handful of fightss will actually be won on reaction.

So every game needs to be judged seperatly about kb/m, defiance is one of those games where i truly (still waiting for console beta to try controls) believe can happly marry the 2

sorry had to say my peace ill shut up now

even trough having cross platform is good to play with friend who don't have same platform ... it also have is con like the cheater and modder which are more frequent on PC . the pvp . if you have a competitive clan on xbox 360 or ps3 and many use controller ,fighting a pc clan . xbox 360 and ps3 will suffer on that part 90% of the time... to be honest i am happy playing with my platform only =D
