No cross-platform secret agenting in The Agency
"PC guys say, 'PS3 guys have aim assist and the controls nerfed for them'. And PS3 guys say, 'PC guys have a mouse and keyboard - it's all easier for them'. Even if it's not true." Not that we're complaining, because Shadowrun made us a bit mental. But this really needs to happen in a fun way sooner or later. Which title is going to be able to nail it down and make it work? Super Mario Crossover Party Platformer 2: Now With More Fun has our money.

Is it not allowed to require keyboard and mouse for PS3? Wouldn't that solve everything?

They do realize you can use a mouse and a keyboard with the PS3, right? Hell, you could hook up a printer while grilling your burgers on the damn thing.
Delicious.

PC Vs PS3....can't we all just...get along? :(

I want PS3 vs 360 but that's not technilogically possible.
Or is it?!?! Isss it??!

Probably is..
Though Wii/PC probably already exists. (I'm sure there's a flash-based MMO somewhere...)

Sony or Microsoft would have to redesign their entire infrastructure to suit it. They would have to both agree to a set standard, which wouldn't happen since both would think theirs is better.

NOTE: I'd rather Sony rework PSN to suit Steam. Imagine having a seamless online experience on your console and your computer.

lol but all the fanboy problems would be solved if 360fanboys could destroy PS3fanboys in Cod4 or vice versa :P

someone pointed to final fantasy as an example of 3 to 4 platforms sharing a game and shadowrun an unreal as recent examples of it being done. just have one section for those willing to play with others

Solution: Stop developing action MMOs. A turn based MMO would have minimal impact from control schemes.

So every MMO should be a WoW clone?
Tiptup300 @ Aug 18th 2008 10:24PM
Number 1 reason I hate wow. It doesn't require skill, it requires time.
Psaakyrn @ Aug 19th 2008 1:10AM
I consider WoW to be action-based for all intents and purposes. (since 1/4 second turns aren't exactly noticable)
DustoMan @ Aug 18th 2008 9:06PM
This is a load of crap. Just require cross-platform play to have a mouse/keyboard.
koehler83 @ Aug 18th 2008 9:31PM
What's the fucking point of creating an MMO and splitting the (likely miniscule) player base?
koehler83 @ Aug 18th 2008 9:32PM
WoW was a clone of other games before anything tried to compete with it.

I'm guessing shadow run ain't all that great.
