Not specific to anyone in particular, but to everyone we are talking about. I told Hines that Sony isn't letting Fortnite offer cross-play, and that game is the biggest thing out there right now. That is counter to what the game has been about." We can't be talking about one version of Legends, where you take your progress with you, and another version where you stay within that ecosystem or its walled off from everything else. "But those are essentially non-negotiable. "We continue to talk to all of our platform partners," Hines added. I asked him if that meant there's a chance it won't come out on PlayStation 4 if Sony doesn't change its stance. There's no 'Oh, it's easier to control, or it has a better framerate on this system.' It's a strategy card game. It doesn't matter what platform you play on, you play against everyone else who is playing at that moment. The way the game works right now on Apple, Google, Steam, and, it doesn't matter where you buy your stuff, if you play it on another platform that stuff is there. We cannot have a game that works one way across everywhere else except for on this one thing. Hines replied, "It is our intention in order for the game to come out, it has to be those things on any system. I cut him off at this point to clarify that the cross-play would only be on "certain systems," since I figured this wouldn't apply on PS4. "It is both cross-platform play and cross-platform progress." " is a strategy card game that encompasses both single and multiplayer," Hines said.
My first question was for Hines to give a general overview of what console players should expect from The Elder Scrolls: Legends when it eventually hits on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch. Bethesda Softworks appears to be putting pressure on Sony to change its stance.Īt this year's QuakeCon in Grapevine, Texas, I sat down with Pete Hines, Bethesda's senior vice president of global marketing and communications, to talk about the forthcoming console version of The Elder Scrolls Legends. Sony shut down Epic Games' bid to bring console cross-platform play to the PlayStation 4 version of Fortnite, but has vaguely stated it is looking into the possibility of letting its hardware connect to other systems.
Xbox and Nintendo are embracing cross-play functionality, but Sony continues to treat the PlayStation 4 as a gated community. They want people to be able to play with their friends and continue their games on any system they see fit, even if it means an Xbox One player connects with a friend on PlayStation 4. It's no secret that game creators are fond of cross-platform play and integration.
