A lot of the conversation today about on-demand transportation is focused on how new players like Uber and Lyft are rapidly expanding and disrupting the established transportation market (alongside whether they have been overvalued and overplayed in their rapid ascent), but today comes news about how one of those newer players is teaming up with a legacy transportation business as a route…

Tim Sweeney (EPIC) se burla de la actual situación absurda del crossplay comparando con que no se pudiera hacer llamadas entre iOS y Android

    En las ultimas semanas el panorama del crossplay entre plataformas ha dado un giro interesante cuando Nintendo y Microsoft han anunciado que Minecraft y Rocket League serán los primeros juegos en ofrecer juego entre plataformas entre PC, Xbox One y Nintendo Switch. Esto deja a la consola de Sony fuera de la jugada y desde entonces hemos visto respuestas acerca del tema desde todos los…

Microsoft Cross-Platform and Cross-network play for the Xbox One and Windows 10 has finally been announced by. The ideas been on the table for a while, but it’s a feature many developers and players have been waiting for. The Redmond team has been listening to developers through the ID@Xbox listening tour and is ready to deliver on one of the most requested Xbox One and Windows 10 features. Rocket League is the first game to receive this support, and I’m super excited to try it.

Killer Instinct is reviving support for Windows 10 and Xbox one, but this new feature is a whole new animal. The new feature will support cross-platform play between Xbox One and Windows 10 games that use Xbox live. Microsoft is also “enabling developers to support cross-network play as well”.  This means Windows and Xbox One players on the Xbox live system will be able to play with people on different multiplayer consoles and PC networks.

Supporting the feature is up to developers

Microsoft says that developers will have the option to support the cross-platform and cross network play feature as they desire. In my opinion developers would have to be crazy to not use this feature in an effort to fill those multiplayer games. Xbox live players will have the option to filter the player networks and platforms they will cross play with. This is the best overall direction as developers and gamer’s get a larger overall gamer pool, because people want more people to play with.

Microsoft’s XNA programming framework is not supported natively on Xbox One but there’s a solution. The MonoGame developers have created an open source solution that has been highly anticipated. This solution will allow indie developers using XNA to bring their games to Xbox One. MonoGame Support arrives spring 2016 thanks to Tom Spilman and Sickhead Games. Microsoft Cross-Platform support and games with cross-play between Xbox One and Windows arrive this spring.

 Microsoft Cross-Platform and Rocket League 

A bonus tip to this post from Microsoft’s Chris Charla: ID@Xbox; tweeting @idarbgame this week “may get you a token to test out cross-play as part of a soft launch”. And Developer Psyonix said “It is both honored and excited to have Rocket League as the first cross-network game is a massive understatement”. Expect to see Rocket League cross-network play on Xbox One and PC this spring. Psyonix also indicated that information regarding other platforms is coming soon.

Trigger.io Co-Founder Sahil Jain Launches Cross-Network Ad Creator AdStage, Raises $1.4M

AdStage, a startup aiming to make it easy for small businesses and other advertisers to run cross-network ad campaigns, launched today at the Launch conference in San Francisco.

The company also announced that it has raised $ 1.4 million in funding, with an investor list that includes Freestyle Capital, Quest Venture Partners, Dave McClure/500 Startups, Digital Garage, XG Ventures, Mark Mullen, former Facebook/Myspace/Zynga executive Owen Van Natta, Jim Patterson, Stewart Alsop, Federated Media founder John Battelle, Rich LeFurgy, and Doug Barry.

You can watch co-founder and CEO Sahil Jain’s presentation here, where you can see the ad creator in action (and listen as Robert Scoble declares “This is the hottest idea I’ve seen so far”). The company offers a single, self-serve dashboard for creating ads that run across Google, Bing, Facebook and LinkedIn. Every feature seems designed to create an optimized campaign with as little work as possible. Most notably, AdStage provides recommendations throughout the process based on data from similar and competitive companies.

Those recommendations can help businesses write the ads and select keywords, as well as figure out the best way to spend across all four networks. And after the campaign has been launched, AdStage can look at the results in realtime and alter how much money goes into each network to deliver the best return.
