Epic's Open Source Multiplayer

#1

Was just announced today that Epic Games has now released their SDK for anyone to use the entirety of their multiplayer cross play which includes their matchmaking they use for Fortnite. Please can we all bring this to Illfonics attention and get them to implement this into their game. This will bring a whole new friends list that actually works. A proper cross play invite system between other platforms. And probably actually working matchmaking. Their own games already implemented with the Epic Store so this is then even easier to implement.

You can read all about it below:

No one else agrees this is a much needed addition to the game?

You never got the memo, I see.

This game, isn’t meant for epic games store. Its meant for the PS4. It was going to stay a sony exclusive, but epic games got sony to let them have a pc exclusive. There is no way in hell sony is going to let their game get that out of hand.

It’s already on the epic games store. This only makes it function better and matchmaking as a whole will work better. Why are you against a better working game? I don’t care about the epic store. Its their entire multilayer network. Did you even read the article?

This sounds like something they definitely need to be doing- people have already been asking for some kind of leaderboard to see how their stats compare to others
Could be a really good addition

But its not epic game store, its Sony. Sony hates crossplay, or admitting there are any other consoles besides playstation.

What are you even talking about? The game isnt a Sony exclusive and never was. It was never ever stated as being one. It was just ever first shown on a PS4 because it’s backed by Sony. It already has cross play. Why are you so upset that it’s on more then just the Playstation anyway? You should be fighting for the game to be improved rather then upset it’s not a PS4 exclusive.

Unless you have not heard. Sony has already put out a statement they are all for cross play and anyone who wishes to have a game cross play just needs to reach out to them. Cross play is the future. Almost any game today features the ability to play in cross play in some way or another.

Youre mixing upset for common sense. And you are wrong, it was originally ps4 only. I still remember the trial weekend, when there was no keyboard options in the settings, just controller. Its already as cross play as its going to get. The issues its having with the cross parties is due to Sony’s programming.

In case you were born yesterday, Sony is only for crossplay because it has a sales increase, and not a big one. And games with crossplay are still the minority. Facts people, we deal in them.

There was always keybinds for the PC version. Even during the trial… What are you even talking about? No where ever has anyone ever said it was an exclusive. There is no trailers stating this. You are spouting lies without any proof to back anything up. Where are these trailers or news articles stating this was a PS4 exclusive?

Look at this official post to the official website by the developers that shows you exactly how to change your keybinds for PC for the trial… So what are you even talking about? You can’t be taken serious at all…

Next time you ask for proof, pick something that I can’t. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6OJhuH7PD0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNQNvXOWPYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgT0BtXONYU https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05/09/predator-hunting-grounds-announce https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/09/04/predator-hunting-grounds-is-a-blast-as-predator-and-pretty-fun-as-a-human-too https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/01/predator-hunting-grounds-hands-on-impressions

You linked a lot of trailers. None of which state it is a PS4 exclusive. So again I ask, where is a direct statement from anything official that this was ever a PS4 exclusive? Do you not know the difference between a trailer that says it’s on the PS4 and a trailer that states it’s an exclusive title?

Ill help you out. This is a trailer for God of War. Notice the start of the trailer actually says “ONLY ON PLAYSTATION”?

None of them said epic game store, unlike the ones that came after, which clearly states what platforms they are on. And, all the articles said PS4 exclusive. Cherry picking links to try to prove a false argument, and you still proved nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCI396HyhbQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlNfJvFnzc8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DX1RFO0Aa5s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMH9arqT35s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixTksGs8pxQ All PS exclusives.

Why are you being a prick? All I’m saying is don’t get your hopes up, Sony has its claws in here deep.

Huh wow hmm. I wasn’t cherry picking. I just picked the first game that came to mind as what I know is a Playstation exclusive being god of war. I didn’t know they don’t always state only on said platform with sony. I know xbox does this always. I was not trying to be a prick I am sorry. I just don’t get why you were so negative to something that actually would help everyone. This would not just fix matchmaking for PC. It would fix it for both sides.

I think the issue with Sony and their exclusives now is they are slowly releasing to PC. Death Stranding is now a PC title and so is Horizon: Zero Dawn. I understand what you are saying. I just want to have a better matchmaking experience and by using the epic games SDK for their multiplayer would fix a lot if not all of the games issues.

It be nice, but I was very surprised, and happy it even got to pc.
