GFN's BlackBible shares his thoughts about the Big 3's (Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo's) decision to allow Activision to create a game that connects them. C.P.P (Cross-Platform Play) is the future of gaming, and I feel Activision has taken the first step in making this dream become a reality. Some of you may want to down play this, as nothing more then a small feature on a children's game but, you'd be wrong to do so. Why? because all forms of innovation, reinvention and unforeseen collaborations are frowned upon until those who've doubted it are proven wrong.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
The legal battle between Microsoft and the FTC over the Activision Blizzard acquisition continues. The house of Xbox just scored a major point but the FTC is firing back.
Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.
Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.
You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.
This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.
This is gonna be huge I bet. Cant even begin to imagine the possibilities!
I really think that if this functionality was posted on a different title than more people would take it more seriously. Added to that i really think this new Spyro has the appeal to turn into the next Pokemon craze.
this will happen eventually.
Not gonna happen.MS will not open xbl.
EVEN some of my complete fanboy friends admit this! it would HUGE and EPIC if they did cross platform multiplayer!
