Mantis Burn Racing embraces the cross-play between Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC. The NSW version will run at 60 fps, both docked and portable mode.
The framerate will target 30 fps for 3-4 players split-screen and a variable framerate (30-60fps) for 2 players split-screen.

Quote from the studio.
We've been spending a lot of time getting to grips with the capabilities of the Switch – we've learnt a lot by digging deeper into the hardware. The Switch's performance analysis tools have allowed us to understand where frame rate improvements could be made and we're really pleased to have the game running at a consistently smooth 60fps – we were determined to make the Switch version the best it can be."

Thanks Nintendoeverything.com
 
Thats the way to handle indie releases - nice.
 
I wonder what the first major title to support cross-play like this will be, nice to see it gaining traction either way!
 
Makes picking up a Switch later next year an even easier choice for me.

Kudos to both Nintendo and Microsoft for letting it happen; shame on Sony for being so stubborn and backwards.

It isnt happening...but in a perfect world Monster Hunter World would be cross plattform play between all ´systems. This would be such a mayor boost for the IP being able to play with everyone regardless of the system.

Would be a dream. Capcom is wierd like that. SFV has PC and PS4 crossplay but none on MvC or MH. My guess is because they built a network for SF and will simply use steam, psn, xbone as the back end for MHW.

There's nothing to excuse. Sony doesn't appear to be interested. Simple as that. Many care, many don't. When sony got weird about mods, I stopped buying those games on their platform personally.

Sony got weird about mods? For gosh sake.

I hope ninth gen tips the scales in favour for Nintendo and Microsoft because Sony sitting out of CPP isn't right for everyone. I guess they need to be humbled.

They don't want PS4 players to see gamertags containing a space because that would mean Sony is giving away their competitive advantage.

I have a feeling that people think this is a legit reason.
 
Excellent. The more the merrier

They are the one party that can change Sony's mind that is not a big publisher it's them.

Given Minecraft it would seem it may volume of support rather than a single party that will eventually push them to be more open.
 
Great news. For Indie games cross-play is especially important, since there multiplayer communities are much smaller and they normally have a harder time, keeping the games alive and still make them attractive over longer periods of time.

I seem to be in a minority but I don’t really want crossplay with pc. Far too many cheaters on that platform.....

Personally, I don’t either. Can’t say I care too much about this specific issue, but I wouldn’t mind it at all with Xbox or switch. Was cool playing fortnite with PS4 players when BR first came out.

Well don't worry because if Xbox is involved then they will always be a disable button.

Also this kind of ideology is silly to have because for one it highly depends on the game you're playing and just because current gen consoles aren't cracked open doesn't mean cheaters don't exist on them. I will also bet many people on GAF can anecdotes how whilst it's the easiest platform to enable it it isn't commonplace.

Yep, and with XBOX One X, I know which system I'm buying games for in the future.
 
They said they also added a 2 player table mode where the splitscreen is rotated 180° for one player so you can sit on the opposite side of a table. Pretty cool.

I wonder what excuses people will use now?

There are no excuses. Someone needs to hold Sony's feet to the fire on this issue. It would be nice if some journalists started putting together articles detailing the recent games that have cross-platform play, to raise awareness.
 
The servers on PS4 were completely dead when I tried a few months ago. Though I don't expect the situation would change that much even if you combined all the platforms.

Well pc is superior compared to the rest. Better frames/gfx and better control for most multiplay games. Still wonder why someone would choose another platform than pc for a multiplatformer game. I can understand switch because you can take it on the go. But the best version will always be on PC.

Making a gaming PC to even make that version superior would cost more than just buying the console. You'd also be surprised at how few people actually know how to put a PC together.
