I believe I read in the new PS3 patch comments that Chef Matt has done some early cross-play tests and they have been favorable. I was just glancing over them at work on my phone so I hope I'm not incorrect or have missed anything.
I'm still terrified as hell to get started without some official "Go For It" statement from SCEA or a formal Vita patch (especially since Russell wrote that we may want to avoid doing any cross-platform saves in April in the last patch update).
I've really only lost 10-12 hours of actual franchise time, so a restart is not a death sentence or anything so dramatic in my case, but man would I like some reassurance that it will be smooth sailing through calm waters if I start now.
I also want to thank Chef Matt again, he (like so many of you here) go out of your way to do (tedious) testing for the simple benefit of others here on the forums. I hope his tests continue to yield positive results so many of us may get to live the dream of true, fuctional cross-play without want or worry in our hearts or minds. I WANT TO CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN WITH MY VITA IN HAND, AND A PS3 SLUNG UNDER MY SHOULDER. AND WHEN I GET TO THE TOP, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I WANT TO SEE 162 USER PLAYED GAMES PLAYED BETWEEN THE TWO PLATFORMS THERE AT THE TOP WITH ME, AND IF GOD WILLS IT, PLAYOFFS!!
Ahem. Sorry. I work nights and take sleeping medication during the day, and it's one that has clearly kicked in. Good night all.
