Playstation-chef snackar cross-platform-stöd
"Inte bara att trycka på en knapp"
Förra veckan aktiverade Sony äntligen cross-platform för Fortnite på Playstation 4, vilket betyder att PS4-spelare kunde spela tillsammans med andra spelare på andra plattformar. Många undrar varför det tog sån lång tid för Sony att få tummen ur på den fronten och i den officiella Playstation-podcasten PlayStation Blogcast berättade Sony-chefen Shawn Layden att det inte har varit så enkelt som man kan tro. Layden berättade bland annat detta:
"We know this is a want, this is a desire, and we want to be able to deliver that in the best way possible. Now, enabling cross-play isn't just about flipping a switch and 'there you go'. It's a very multi-dimensional kind of attribute or feature.
So we had to look at it from a technical point of view, we have to work with our partners from a business point of view, we have to make sure that if we enable this, do we have the right customer service support, do we have the right messaging out there, do we have all these different things that you have to get in line. It's rather ordinal - they have to go in a certain order to get them all set up."
