Matthew talked about it during Llama streaming in Blizzcon.
I understand if they add new contents, it would probably be locked under an extension, but cross-play is more a QOL than a new feature. I want to play with my friend who is on switch. D4 is multiplatform. Better online experience, more people together, less offline (even if I like to play offline).
Even if playing on console is a huge handicap for speed runs /PVP, it is a decent experience for PVM.
We don’t know yet. But switch 1 has it’s issues with 4 player max and pc players can pick up loot faster than console idk how they’ll work that out.
Maybe, they could lock the switch user to not enter in p4 to p8 game and restrict them to make 4 player max.
Yeah, of course, it is probably a bit more complex than just plug and play, but it is not a indie company. Holy macaroni.
Most of the questions was raised by MrLlama, and then, in an officially political tone, Matthew offered what was essentially a perfunctory answer—at the end of the day, it was simply not on their radar for the foreseeable future.
Tbf, Lucky luciano said that interview in Blizzcon was already settled two months in advance. So, the devs probably already knew the possible questions.
But yeah, it looks like an answer from politicians. At the same time, he denies other stuffs.
Anyway, they should keep their promises, specially the most “easy” to fullfill, like allow crossplay.
I doubt it will ever happen. About the only thing I could see is them making it Xbox Play Anywhere and allowing PC Battle.net to connect with Xbox since they would own that whole ecosystem.
same way like pd2 did would be the best way to
At the same time, if they want to do a new “big” update with new contents, they need all those features to make it big. It is my hope.
Items revamp are nice, but it doesn’t bring more money for them.
Ah I see I’ll look that up or whatever. When I said that I figured there’s always some way to get it working I was just throwing that out there for the heck of it so the devs are aware/reminded.
Would help with giving players bigger pop to play with no doubt..
Even if games were limited to 4 players, that is an ok trade off
I would not be surprised if that happens.
Nobody will oppose to that kind of changes. Even more reactive streamers like sweetphil want that. No offense, but he is more reactive to any changes compare to mr llama or other guys like doublebilly or michaeloffmeta
