Bungie reported to Forbes that they will not be link platforms together even though it well within their tech. The engineer also reported it would not be fair for pvp. Someone on an PS4 with a sniper rifle taking out old gen player when the ps4 player would not even be visible to the old gen player.
Edit:I just added the link

Thats utter rubbish, the psn network supports cross platform, final fantasy a realm reborn is proof of that, pc, ps4 and ps3 playerd all on the same servers, all being matched together for dungeons, trials and raids. The only reason their isnt cross platform is the companies invovled dont want it, microsoft will never share servers with anyone, as then you wouldn't have to pay for xbl.

Thanks! Looked up that article. I hadn't found it previously, good to know what to look for. :) It's a bummer that the logic behind not implementing it is basically "because nerdrage". No matter. For a game that will be around for a decade, I'm sure they'll have many opportunities to revisit that idea. (And raids may be treated differently since there's no competitive aspect and no technical reason it can't be done.) Thanks again.
