Destiny is multiplatform, but is the community?

[b]"Bungie's Brave New World." |[/b] [b][url=https://www.bungie.net/7_SGA-Master-Archive-Thread/en-us/Groups/Post?id=61330820&groupId=39865#referred-]Thread 4 of 7[/url][/b] [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_What-will-keep-you-playing-for-10-years/en/Forum/Post?id=61406993#referred-Destiny]Previously on Super Good Advice[/url], we explored the elements of keeping players returning to an ever changing world of Destiny. While it's important to have your own reasons to come back, it's important to understand the split community Bungie will be establishing over the next decade. Bungie is in unfamiliar territory. They're use to being responsible for [i]one[/i] gaming platform for the past decade. In the past 3 years, we've particularly noticed that [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/AboutUs#!page=careers]Bungie has been hiring for different game platform positions[/url], expanding their fortress. During Bungie's GDC Panel, Staten talked about 7 points that they're addressing as the "core foundation" of Destiny. One of those seven points is [url=http://kotaku.com/5984648/everything-i-know-about-bungies-next-first+person-shooter-destiny]"A shared world with other people."[/url] - focusing specifically on sharing Destiny with your friends and community at large. During Bungie's Halo era on the bungie.net forums, we were all unified under one console. For Destiny, we're split, and some may even see their friends list get a purge as gamers decide their primary platform of choice. [b]Concerning Bungie, will each "world" of Destiny develop it's own niche over time? [/b]Will players in a certain faction in "Xbox One Destiny", have a completely different outlook compared to "PS4 Destiny"? [b]I think Bungie has their work cut out for them when hosting a website for ALL kinds of gaming communities.[/b] Destiny's key points is sharing experiences with other players, but I feel there will be a world of it's own that doesn't exist on consoles, I'm talk about the game of bungie.net. Will part of Bungie's "Sharing with friends" through Destiny, partly be made within bungie.net and beyond? - I think so. [b]What do you believe is going to be the most controversial interactions between console communities?[/b] Even concerning "cross platform" Destiny, we're all under the same umbrella of bungie.net. Bungie has been creating tools for social interaction all through their Halo era, what kind of ways would you like to see Bungie tackle these challenges?

  • Letting my live time run out on 360, I might have to buy another 3 month for you Bungie, and then to hell with consoles. I'll be on a PC creating stuff.

    • I don't think so, we can really only afford one next gen console. I am going Xbox One for the exclusives. I think hating on each other is a waist of energy.

    • One way to think about it is the way Alpha Lupi was used as a tool to bring b.net together leading up to the viDoc. Online puzzles and ARGs could serve as a way to affect which of episodic content – new areas to explore, new events to participate in – are rolled out on multiple platforms. Solving a mystery together that leads us all to uncharted territory. Anyone with a b.net account could participate, and the result would affect and reward Destiny players of all stripes. The shared experience of Destiny's world will be more compelling than the brand loyalties, which are just your chosen delivery system for the same story, if not the people you are directly interacting with from time to time in-game.

    • There's going to be some bad blood unless there's cross-platform playing.

      • I think we can already see how the PS4 Destiny and X1 Destiny communities are developing, including their relationship with each other. I think I can safely say that unless people start acting more mature (which is highly unlikely at this point) or the mods start cracking down on consoles warring on the forums, relations between the two communities will be toxic.
