Ett av årets hetare och återkommande diskussionsämnen har varit crossplay, vilket stöds av PC, Switch och Xbox One, medan Sony varit restriktiva med Playstation 4. I samband med Gamescom frågade vi FIFA 19-utvecklaren Matthew Prior vad han tycker om idén med crossplay, och det var idel positiva toner:
"I'm a gamer myself, and 'player first' is kind of the EA mantra, and I think it could only be a beneficial thing to the playing experience if the community is that much broader. So obviously I think if there was the ability to play anyone on any console I think that's a net benefit for the user and I think something that the players would want."
Därmed kunde man ju tro att saken var klar, men så enkelt är det inte och detta är inget EA kan bestämma:
"Obviously there's a lot to work through in that, but ultimately it's something we would like to do because I think for the players is a very beneficial feature. (...) I would say it would be a great addition to be able to broaden that community to be a much more robust and diverse community, and playing online and playing against players on your own skill level, it would enhance that, so absolutely."
Hade du velat kunna spela FIFA 19 mellan Playstation 4 och Xbox One?
