It means games like “Destiny” or “a few other popular games" could be played online, together, by players who are on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
POLL
Edit: http://news.xbox.com/2016/03/14/letter-chris-charla-idxbox-updates-gdc/
Edit: What would happen with playstation exclusive items? Would Xbox players get them or have to go against them?
Edit: No intention to start a console war..It was all in good fun. But I think it would be good for a better player base and competition.
To be fair I created a new poll https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/196474014

Edited by OriginalMrDave: 3/15/2016 12:31:03 PMThey would allow it providing Sony allow it too, would be a poor PR move for Sony to block it now though. Thing is, how do timed/console exclusive work? Like at the moment I couldn't care less about PS4 destiny exclusives but once they start interfering with my experience and I can't get them that would annoy me. Could be the same with timed exclusive content for the division etc on Xbox. However if it meant an end to that I'd be well up for it, people shouldn't be forced to own both consoles in order to get 100% of the games they pay good money for.

Edited by Naharke31: 3/15/2016 12:26:41 PMIdk I think the games would be pretty good tho. Is Xbox cheaper?

How would it be fair for console users to be able to play with pc gamers console to console fine but pc gtfo
-
Just so everyone is clear, it won't be every game as it will have to be agreed by both Sony, Microsoft and the developer of the game, so don't get your hopes too high without knowing What games will support it. My guess it will some time before a developer will make a game following this.

1 ReplyGood ps4 players would beat bad xbone users and vice versa. Good ps4 players vs good xbone players would be good matches

"including other console" Lawl, doesn't sound like Sony is on board yet.
-
2 RepliesIts funny the articles act like its all microsofts idea. Microsoft is catching up to sony. Ps4 already has cross platform games.
-
2 RepliesI think console to console is fine ,but pc would have a obvious advantage, mods and I don't care how good you are no console controller can match the precision and speed of a keyboard and mouse.
-
They said it would take a long time to implement it into AAA games but Indies is where it is starting
-
The skills would be the same. It would level out eventually.
-
What if i told you that cross platform play has already been done with PC PS and Xbox once before alkost nearly 20 years ago....this is old news to some and to others this would be new news
-
Sounds good.

2 RepliesPC being master race there would be no comparison.

This post was all fine and dandy until you decided to move this to #Destiny

I would hate to go against PC users in any game....they would have a huge advantage, lag, input, and just everything wise. Console is one thing but PC would be silly to put in. I think it was warthunder or some tank game that did that. And u could so tell who was on PC they could target, aim and shoot so much faster then the console people as on the PC u could click targets on the mini map and soon right in on that area and console you couldn't. Plus mods....you don't want PC on our servers....

Just like they did with street fighter. I thought it was pretty cool Playing with people on pc
