If there's cross-play with PC and console, I'll buy. If not I won't.
I enjoyed about 80hrs of Destiny on PS4 with two of my friends but I've moved on to PC gaming since. I still have my PS4 but have a hard time looking at 30FPS games now and certainly wouldn't spend $80CAN on one.

It's not just that when they drop blues.

If I get Destiny 2, I'll absolutely go for the pc version.
There's just too many advantages compared to a console version.
- IQ and framerate
- Mouse and keyboard
- Convenience of sitting at my pc setup instead of the couch
- Being able to use a proper headset instead of that thing that Sony tries to pass off as a mic
- If my irl friends play it, it will be on pc
I would however be sad not to be able to play with the people that I raided with for about a month in TTK on ps4. Those were some genuinely awesome people.
I see virtually no chance that there will be cross-play. Mouse + keyboard vs controller would causes too many issues I think. Just imagine how pvp would be for console players.

No reason, Sony recruitment force always ends up in these threads.
Xbox version will be fine, Scorprio version will be better. Play where your friends are. I have both systems, my friends play on Xbox, I'm not going to try to convince them to get a PS4. I plan on playing with the Xbox and PS4 community. DGaf is 90% PS4 but it doesn't have to be that way.

Only cross-play for PvE?
Anyone think Sony is holding cross platform in their back pocket with this game? I could really see them flipping it and announcing it as the first title Where they want people of "all" platforms to play together. They would earn a lot of goodwill. They would have to restructure some of the exclusivity but it's not a stretch?
Edit: Got it FPS with PC bad and not much to gain. Wrap it up folks were done here.

Can we all just take a minute to reflect on how many hours we spent mindlessly shooting into a cave for loot in this game. What a beautiful waste of my life.

I regret absolutely none of my time spent doing that. 😀
No.
I don't want to play an FPS on console with PC players though.
Sony gains nothing from this. Not possible.

Excited to see what Bungie can do with an engine purely set for the current gen systems (not to mention the pro and scorpio).
I don't get the argument of a ten year plan, I always took that phrase to reference a plan within the series, not the specific Destiny 1 game.
*Also, PC isn't an option or allure for me, so PS4 Pro here we go!

Big BIG ones for me. Especially with M+KB, since it was probably the one aspect that kept me from coming back to Destiny (if the first one was on PC, I would have way more hours in it, especially with close friends).

You'd still have an issue of pc players being able to perform much better due to the use of m+k over controllers. Console players would be getting kicked and flamed constantly.
I just don't see any way that Bungie could implement any meaningful crossplay that wouldn't lead to a ton of bad situations.
Edit - I could see someting like what darknil suggest in the form of cross-progress however. Basically allowing you to use the same account on both pc and console.

I don't require crossplay with PC, but backing up and restoring your account across different platforms would be ideal.
Destiny 2 : Still no time to explain

This would make me very happy. All my friends are on X1 but I have a beast of a PC that I want to make use of when they aren't online.

I'm in the same boat, which is why I'll be so bummed if I don't have an option to play at 60fps on consoles. I really don't want to play this on PC.

It'd definitely be a good way of getting people to double dip

I'd love to play on PC but all my friends are on PS4 so that's where I'll be. Cross progress would be nice but I don't think we'll get that solely because of the PS timed exclusive stuff. Pretty sure that's why we didn't get it with the first game. Either that or they thought it wasn't worth building out for how few people would actually use it.
Got a huge feeling that we've already seen most aspects of any incoming teaser in this old leak;

Damn... You're right. Hopes crushed.
I'm a PC gamer at heart and I would MUCH rather play at 60fps with native keyboard and mouse support.
My group of pals is on PS4 so that will suck, but just the thought of a PC release makes me excited...now the question is how will the port turn out. If it's shit, then I'll be back on PS4 for sure.
I don't have a problem playing Destiny with a controller, it's one of the only console FPSes I can deal with though. The other is Halo - Bungie has some kind of magic.
Either way, the PVP was very frustrating sometimes because it felt like I was playing against kids who grew up with Halo/COD on consoles, so I was a bit of a fish out of water. The worst problem was the FOV - someone could be standing next to you with a shotgun and you couldn't see them. I'd still dominate random casual matches against goobers but when playing with DestinyGAF or in Trials it was a struggle to keep up. The more seriously I took Destiny the less fun I had with it.
The PS4 community is great and I don't want to leave it behind, but most of my usual group of friends are primarily PC gamers. Several of those have hardcore MMO raider backgrounds, and I'd love to completely dismantle Destiny raids with them. But if for some reason they aren't interested, well, I still don't want to pay to play online anymore, especially after they jacked up the PS+ price in Canada. PS4 version is a tough sell for me.
Best case scenario is cross-platform play, but I don't think that has any chance whatsoever of happening.

Cross play won't happen.
Nothing in it for Sony for allowing this to play with Xbox One users, the only one who benefits is the one who will have the lesser online playerbase. But seeing as this is Destiny online playerbase won't be a problem on all platforms.
I mean, that's what Sony is counting on with the exclusives, and I'm sure they will get some folks to do so. I grabbed a PS4 on sale back in November and, while it was nice to play with a few folks from GAF and start fresh, it wasn't nearly as cool as I thought it would be. The exclusives were underwhelming and Xbox really isn't missing anything. I still prefer to play on Xbox, where I have my characters, my friends, my gamertag, all that.
Also I hope they tone down the PS exclusives this time around, either reducing the exclusivity period or keeping it to cosmetics. They stand to piss off more people than they please if they are keeping things away from PC and Xbox players for years at a time.

Link to these rumors?
3 months is supposedly the new exclusivity period in D2.
Yeah... that's probably what will happen...
They were already bitching about current games...

Is it crazy if I expect more info today? I know the patch comes out, maybe they won't want to overshadow that. But man I would really like a bit more concrete info.
