do it like gears 4, cross play on everything besides PvP.
would buy D2 on PC. Everytime i play D1 on PS4 i wish i could play it on my PC.
MS and Sony are never gonna let you look at your friends list on the other console or on PC. Cross play would only mean in match made activities. And then it's pointless because the game will have a huge population anyway.
A campaign that really doesn't serve any significance in the long run is rather different from Destiny, where all of its content is competitive.
Seems that a lot of people in here have gotten really lucky with their raid groups.I don't understand the hate with raid matchmaking. How is going on Bnet and getting a bunch of random strangers ANY different than matchmaking? How could it possibly make the raid worse??
Well, for one example, LFG finders allow you to specify "adults only."I don't understand the hate with raid matchmaking. How is going on Bnet and getting a bunch of random strangers ANY different than matchmaking? How could it possibly make the raid worse??
What are the odds that this would also be an Xbox Play Anywhere title? Seems like a no-brainer to do that.
Are there any games that allow PC/PS4 crossplay? The only one I can think of is Final Fantasy XIV, and I'm not even sure if that's true or something I made up?
And a well-implimented in-game group finder can have filters too.Well, for one example, LFG finders allow you to specify "adults only."

This is just purely me, not being informed about this at all but: I don't think so.What about NX?

A little off topic but it does seem like there's a missed opportunity there. While it's been great that Activision has seemingly never intruded on what Blizzard does the fact that Activision never stepped in and made Battle.net the home to all things Blizzard AND Activision seems like a missed opportunity for Activision.
Every aspect of Destiny is competitive. The PvE is competitive. The PvP is competitive. It's an online-only game specifically to prevent people from cheating and gaining an unfair advantage over others.Uhh, I've played an insane number of hours of Destiny and never touch the PVP. Couldn't give a fuck less about it.
See that's the thing. I'm really not sure how this will do on PC. I would hate to pick up the PC version and then it become a wasteland.
Consoles without a doubt will have massive population for Destiny 2 so without some form of crossplay the PC version is possibly a wait and see

I don't follow. What's competitive about the PVE like strikes, story missions, and raids?
this guy gets itYes, it needs to be a new game.
I want new planets. New vehicles. New classes. New space ship levels. Let us fly our damn ships.
I want gorgeous next gen graphics. Their artstyle is great, but we need next gen lighting, next gen foliage, next gen visual effects.
I want more than one raid for a $60 game. At least 10 strikes. People run strikes more than they run single player missions. Make a nice 10 mission 5 hour long campaign with setpieces then move on to 3 player quests for post campaign missions. then turn those into strikes.
What about NX?
PC gamers wouldn't have a reason to include console gamers in their groups. Someone on PC would have significantly higher damage output with less effort, and would serve as a more valuable member in a group.I don't follow. What's competitive about the PVE like strikes, story missions, and raids?
It depends on what all you're giving up. It's very unlikely they're gonna let everybody who bought their first game and all of its DLC start off with 350+ light level, and leave everybody else at level 1.As much as I would like to have Destiny on PC I won't give up my PS4 progress. If I could transfer, at this point I think I would rather have it for Scorpio actually.
Except cross play would means console players will have to deal with KB&M players and aim bots and cheaters. No thanks.
It might be fair to assume that this particular document is out of date. For one, the dates mentioned with the line-up do not match with the current reality:Wasn't that the plan from the start?
Talking about their 10 year plan thing that got leaked from the Cod trial.
Here's the document.
This is my only real hope, because if they do then every other issue should be fixed shortly afterI really hope they've switched to a better engine so they can actually make a ton of new and different content at launch.
You can already use KB&M on the PS4/X1 with third party tools.
Just have it be cross play on noncompetitive modes. Unless you don't feel like being carried?
It might be fair to assume that this particular document is out of date. For one, the dates mentioned with the line-up do not match with the current reality:
This bit of the document specifies first game being initially planned to be released in 2013, with sequels following up after a 2-year window, and with each title receiving DLC spanning through 1 year after initial release.
Also, while the document does mention "Destiny Game #2" being developed for personal computers with Windows-based operating systems, it also makes mention of planned development for 360/PS3 systems, which I don't really see happening, considering the fact that their newer DLC expansions are not supported in previous generation-consoles. Which, to me, states that a lot that is mentioned in this is subject to change, and isn't an actual guarantee of how things will pan out.
Which is a shame, because the notion of a PC Destiny-title could be rather enticing. The success of Warframe, The Division and the likes indicate that there is a potent demand for persistent RPG-products. Whether or not Bungie/Acti decide to tap into it remains to be seen, as they seem rather undecided on the matter atm.
this guy gets it
There aren't any publishers not named Microsoft who have any interest in giving away free builds of games they could otherwise sell in order to prop up a failing and unpopular storefront whose only USP is that MS are in sole control of it.
