Would it even be possible to make a game you can play on a PC and play with people on like xbox live?

Gorillabane on PC, xbox, Wii, gameboy, psp, iphone and tv. you guys could be the wave of future gaming if you did this.

Isn't that what Windows Live was supposed to deliver? Shadowrun was supposed to be the first game where you could do this. Not sure if it ever lived up to it's hype or not.

The problem with Shadowrun and any cross platform game is the control difference. I imagine it's especially bad in an FPS, but could you imagine playing any resonably complex MMO with what... 12 buttons?

Although I know it's not an MMO and it isn't terribly complex... Oblivion was on the 360/PC. PvP in that game would be down right sick. I hear that the next game in the elder scrolls series is to be an MMO. Who knows?

true the limited buttons on a console would be a drawback but you could always hook up your mouse n keyboard to yer xbox or maybe do something like allow hotkeys on your controller in combinations like press both triggers for another hotkey then hold down the left bumper then another button to allow for a whole new set like holding down shift or ctrl on yer keyboard. I usually will map only about 5-6 buttons for spells etc. near WASD if im playing a game using that movement, then map the rest of powers alt+1-6 z, x, c, f, r so never rly use more than a few buttons on keyboard neways idk.

that shadowrun game looks pretty cool tho think im gonna rent it.
