What if... The online world was multiplatform?
Think about it!
Of course this'd be hard to pull off, and may only be done on the Xbox 360/720 and the PS3/PS4, but it's not impossible.
EDIT: you guys seem to think that it has to be directly via the LIVE / PS network but what I was trying to say is that they could send the data from the game to a central server located at Bungie or Activision and work it that way. Software and hardware don't matter as they could send the same packets of player / enemy / etc positions to every console and have the game's engine translate it. Think outside the (x)box.

It would happen directly through the LIVE and PlayStation networks. It's the nature of connectivity using them. They are both extended services of the platforms. When you produce a title on a console, licenses for doing so must be procured. It's a complicated process that requires developers to follow certain standards to match a level of quality and consistency across all titles. Microsoft is a bit touchy on this subject and does not allow cross platforming while Sony seems to be more open about it. This caused a similar game, Dust 514, to be exclusive to PlayStation 3.

1 ReplyYes, it is within the limits of technology. No it will not happen

Then Bungie would have achieved the impossible.

Trion Worlds wanted their upcoming MMO, Defiance, to be multiplatform but MS & Sony don't want to play nice.
-
I doubt Microsoft/Sony would allow that.

I expect separate realms segregated by platform. This will also sort out some of the exclusive content everyone's been raging about. Most likely is that a user may have combined stats here on bungie.net Think about it, one can login using either network.

The problem is .... $$$ and Microsoft doesn't want Sony players to exist in their world. Think about it from a marketing perspective, if you had everyone in one world, the PS3/4 players could play Destiny online, without a monthly subscription fee to use their online service, unless they had PS+. Xbox Users have to use Xbox Gold to play with other players online. Where do you think players are going to migrate to if they know they can get the same experience for free? I do see it possible for X360/Durage to have their own Destiny world and PS3/4 to have their own along with PC gamers. Cross platform seems to fit, but not cross brands.

it would be awesome

I don't think Sony or Microsoft would be willing to do this. Even if it was just 360/720,PS3/PS4

2 RepliesIt can't work, they use different codes and software/hardware that don't match up with one another.

I just cant see ms and sony working together for it.

1 ReplyNo way M$ would allow, not after Shadowrun

I can't believe even spam threads get more replies than this one :/
