Square Enix gave some consideration to making Dragon Quest XI an open-world title
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 12 Comments
Dragon Quest XI could have taken an open-world approach. In an interview with DenfaminicoGamer, series creator Yuji Horii said that the idea was considered towards the start of development.
Dragon Quest XI has a little bit of open-world gameplay, but is still based on the franchise’s linear approach. Horii said that some players might have a difficult time understanding what to do next in an open-world, and creating a big story would be difficult.
Here’s the full exchange between Horii and DenfaminicoGamer, as translated by Siliconera:

Rocket League adding cross-platform party support later this year
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
Rocket League currently supports cross-platform play. If you’re playing on Switch, you can match together with someone on an Xbox One or PC.
Psyonix intends to take this a step further with cross-platform party support. The functionality will be added in later this year, the studio confirmed via Twitter.
Hey there! We’re actively working on cross-platform party support for a 2018 release. 🙂

Cross-platform parties will allow for the ability to create a party of players from different platforms that can move together between matches as a group without having to constantly invite people into a private match. As the way things are now, parties are limited to other players on the same platform.
