Cross play as a definitive remedy to long queues during matchmaking

The issue with that is there’s a huge difference in how it’s played on console and PC. It’d be hard to win against a PC killer; if they’re good.
Maybe if consoles que’d together, that’d be fine.8 -

Well, when you get to high ranks- it’s a bit different. I mean, you probably aren’t wrong, but I’m not either. I see where you’re coming from, though... and nonetheless, you sound incredulousy arrogant; if I’m being blunt.

I wouldn't want anyone on PC to suffer the frame drops I've suffered on console lately. If a doctor has that new blight outfit on, you may as well DC0

"Mouse and keyboard" or "controller"? I don't care. XDLet's play all together: if my opponent is more skilful than me, I'm happy to learn.1

The only problem in the way is console optimization. It's fps is nowhere near PC's, and it could cause more problems than we know of.
Maybe if console was optimized, who would deny this? I use my controller on pc anyway.
1 -
Yeah, optimization is necessary for a funny cross play: every device shall have the same quality of gameplay.

I'm okay with this, as long as you ban Ochido again first.7

A lot of players report too very long matchmakings, because of an excessive amount of killers or survivors trying to enter the lobby, specially on PC.I propose the Developers to allow cross play to solve that issue: it would require minor changes about William Overback, nothing more. It would help the Community, but would be useful for the Devs, too: with just one game version, it would be easier to find and fix bugs and to implement new mechanics and chapters.
Do you agree?
You do realize what would happen to someone playing on PS4 / xbox with 20fps vs a pc player with 60fps right? it would be a complete nightmare for the console players.

I'm a console player and I love nightmares, otherwise I would not love DbD. XD

sadly this will never happen and the devs even struggle with the easiest kind of implementations. Dedicated servers or even crossplay is FAR down the road where we will never reach^^0 -

I mean sure, to be honest, I agree. It’s never going to reach. And even with whoever the egotistical person was- no, it’s not going to work.Master said:@Watery said:

Are PC players overpowered? A good defeat is better than void victories: you learn, you become more skilled, then you win. I don't like any ghetto amongst players.

I, for one, would love to see cross play, it will never happen for a few reasons.
1st is the fact that Bill is on PC and that BHVR doesn't have the rights for him on console, he's a steam exclusive.
Additionally, it would involve bringing all clients in sync with each other, as well as set up their own servers since Sony does not have cross platform support.
TL;DR, it's not happening.1 -

I don't like any ghetto amongst players.Pc doesn't have frame drops like console (nurse is barely playable). When you hit a survivor with sloppy butcher again another frame drops. Pc player will win all matches

Console survivors versus PC Nurse mains would be hilarious to watch.

Do you agree?
Consoles V Consoles could be a good idea, not so much for Consoles and PC together though, unless PC and console both go against Console.

Yall do realize PS4 is still reluctant to allow crossplay, nothing the devs could do if they wanted to.

If consoles could cross play with each other and OchiDO was banned across all platforms then that would be good. PC players would have a much easier time against console players, so we can’t have PC and console crossplay.0

Finally someone gets it. Pc with xbox is the most likely scenario IF it ever would happen. Sony has actively disallowed and pushed back against crossplay SPECIFICALLY with other consoles. Look at what happened with fortnite. They had to piss off a lot of people before they would allow it to go forward: grudgingly and slowlyKillJiggy said:Yall do realize PS4 is still reluctant to allow crossplay, nothing the devs could do if they wanted to.

Dedicated servers are coming soon and I'm not joking. It's gonna be around December for sure and I know this since the developers have been continuously saying that they are gonna add a optimization update for console but what does that mean for PC? They can't working on a optimization update for a single platform and not anything else for the PC people. That's because they are working on dedicated servers right now. I'm very very sure of it.Master said:@Watery said:

it's more balanced xbox and ps4 in cross play. crap hardware with crap hardware. same poor optimisation. The level is the same. On pc the gameplay is a lot smooth than console
1 -
You'd need dedicated servers and brand new code that optimizes everything for both sides then of course you run into the biggest thing stopping it from ever happening.
Sony's insatiable greed will prevent any type of cross platform play from ever happening, even Console versus Console.

Easier Said than done .. When DBD was Free on PS4 plus it messed up the server for all platforms .. besides the game uses P2P connection atm .. for cross-play You'd need a Server to host ? I'm not sure how it works but it's not that easy esp when you lack in Networking Staff and budget0

Yeah the last thing you want is PC Survivors playing against a console Wraith or Myers and 360ing him all game. Or a PC Nurse stomping the hell out of console Survivors.

Having Console Crossplay, as well as a completely optional PC Crossplay would be nice.0

This, Sony will never allow crossplay ever, they'd screw themselves out of all the royalty money and other money grubbing moves they can do by being solo.

Killer is significantly easier on PC. As someone that plays on both I'de have to say that my M1 control on PC would give me a pretty markable advantage. Not counting the frame rate difference. A killer that has double the frame rate of a survivor is going to have a major advantage.
Also, just to note. Console killers going against PC survivors will be at a VERY notable disadvantag due to frame rate. That is this: When a killer enters bloodlust there is a very momentary blur. On PC it's almost unoticable. On console it can blind you for a full second.

Lol, those poor console people.
They're gonna question why their Wraith isn't terrorizing anyone while also fear the ######### out of the Nurse.1 -
lol ol' Sally Smithson would have a field day with console players.

Sony are slowly becoming more keen to Crossplay.
As far as the Console and PC talk, it could simply be Opt-in like it is with other Crossplay games.0 -

Dedicated servers affect latency, not low framerates.
Anyway, I highly doubt we will EVER see dedicated severs

I just have a feeling the developers can't only be working on a FPS fix for console and nothing else for the PC community. Either dedicated servers or a PC optimization around December, I just have a feeling.Master said:@Nickenzie said:

Since Microsoft has already talked about wanting to do it and is working on it Sony's going to be the only one other than say nintendo not offering it.
