    Trials Cross Platform !?!?

    I think it would be really badass if Trials Fusion was cross platform for multiplayer. As well as a way to see leaderboards on other systems if not a way to directly compete with those on other systems. Is this a possibility?

    As much as we would like Trials to be cross platform, Microsoft has to agree, which they are not, and I doubt there will be a cross platform from pc to ps4 or pc to xbox. Also from Ps4 to Xbox the companys have to come together and agree, which I doubt will ever happen.

    I think track central being cross platform is essential to the long term success of the game. Otherwise, we're going to end up with 4 separate track central's that either look like Evo Gold's or are filled with low quality content. That would be to the detriment of the game My opinion.

    My only concern is PC.It being so easy to modify files and such. Other than that I love the idea

    Agree completely.
    Or at least have XB1 and X360 track central's merge.
    Idk, cross platform would be awesome but I don't think it will be here for Fusion. Maybe the next Trials? Who knows.
    We can only wish
    But RL needs to focus on fixing THIS track central. Cant wait for the update

    seriously, i dont need all tracks to be crossplatform. by now we have over 10.000 tracks on xb1 and i would say nearly 80% is crap, wouldnt be surprised if its the same case on 360 / ps4. i dont need thousands of more tracks like those... but selected good tracks, like those from morrillo´s TFusionCommunity youtube channel, could be transfered to the FusionCommunity (xb1) / Fusion_Community (ps4) account to be crossplatform. should be no big problem. all redlynx picks should be transfered to this account aswell (btw when wiill this feed be updated??)

    Yes, this is what I predicted Uplay Recommended would be.

    Just pointing out the obvious which most people seem to overlook. If it was truly an easy task as people seem to think, cross platform would already be in the game. It is not going to happen. It is as straightforward as that. Too much money, too much programming, too much work.

    EDIT: Just a few more things. If it was cross platform, track central would be 4 times worse. So many more bad maps that flood track central and the newly released section. And since the newly released section only has around 40 tracks it can hold for each difficulty level, and don't forget spammers. there won't be much time for people download tracks in the newly released section. Also there is no 48 hour feed, and even if they did come out with a 48 hour feed, it would be recommended to have a 48 hour feed for each platform so it does not get over cluttered, therefore you need to add a highest rated this week for each platform as well so maps don't get overlooked. In other words, tracks will get overlooked even more than they do now. Plus, with all these feeds, track central will be so over cluttered that people only visit certain feeds because there are so many. Plus again, there will be even more coding involved and with all of the issues already that need to fixed, such as multiplier, track central, tire glitching. I am pretty sure having cross platform is the last thing on their list. In fact, it is probably not on their list at all.

    like i said, look at the FusionCommunity (xb1) / Fusion_Community (ps4) accounts. all the tracks uploaded in there are currently crossplatform! redlynx has already proven that its possible and they can do it, so what? things like multiplayer, track central ui or tire glitching is no data, that is stored in track files. this has nothing to do with that general. its a lot of work to point out the good tracks from the mass, yes, but the community is helping with that and it should be no big problem to transfer those tracks to another account like they did it before.

    If any maps become cross platform it would not be every single track it would probably only be red lynx pics and the featured section. Also remember that they took longer to upload the tracks from the fusion community to the Xbox 360, so it is probably not a 2 second process. Therefore they are probably not going to make every track cross platform, and it would cause alot of issues like I stated in the previous post. If they just pick and choose certain tracks to have cross platform, people will complain why their track is not on the list. If one person is assigned as a community leader to recommend tracks to be cross platform, many tracks will be left out. Therefore angering others. It is a fine line to walk, and in my opinion, is not as important as the other issues with the game at the moment.
