Multiplayer PC vs Playstation

Beau

Possibly a stupid question. I've the PC version, mates have the PS3 version, can we play online together or am I left out in the cold? (I dont have a PS3 by the way)

Nope, similarly xbox players and PSN players can't play together either.

Yeah can't do it, i know it'd be alotta hassle but i'd love to see this feature implemented!

Beau

Thanks, thats a pity!

Tallon

This is a question I knew the answer too but was still hoping it wasnt true

How cool would it be

radio_protector

Awh it would be amazing! I know a fair few people who are on PSN that i'd love to play against!

PC gamers would have too much of an advantage with K&M, dont know about xbox live and psn though

If it was implemented,you'd just get console heads whining about pc players beating them all the time

I dont think you understand the advantage of a keyboard and mouse and I'm a console gamer sometime pc gamer.

Cross platform games(Shadow Run for example) have shown a trend of Developers dumbing down the accuracy of the weapons and handicapped the movement so console players would be on a even footing. The hallmarks of trying to play fair to a inferior control system.

This would be terrible imo and the PC users would have too much of an advantage just with their mouse alone, never mind system specs!

Console: Scrolling left, scrolling left, scrolling left...
PC: move mouse across the 1foot*1foot mousepad, and shoot.

This is the typical attitude of most console gamers,"oh ye controller is way better than mouse and keyboard":eek:

In fairness any competent player could be just as good using a controller then they would keyboard and mouse. I've been a serious online console player for 3-4 years and a online PC player for over 10.

Console players would get stomped.

Anyone that disagrees has obviously never played (or at least well) on a PC.

It had came up in another thread that there is also lag on consoles between the controller and the console itself,whereas the K/M is a lot less.So if there was a PC vsConsole the pc would always get the shot off quicker.

If the lag was made equal between the 2 who knows?I have spent 20years using keyboard and mouse and am completely use to it but I would like to think that if I had grown up using joypads for FPS that I would prefer them.Only ever use joypads for platformers/driving games.

Having said that I have gotten use to the joypad on my xbox but aint anywhere near good enough as I was when playing on the pc
