SOE's Wilson Talks Connected PC, PS3 Game Worlds on Gamasutra discusses The Agency, Sony Online Entertainment's upcoming counterintelligence themed MMOG. The focus is once again on the potential for cross-platform play between the PC and PS3 editions, which SOE has already said will not be supported (story). They quote executive producer Matt Wilson saying they actually have PC/PS3 gameplay working in their offices, and the story suggests they are considering this for the release version, but all the answers he gives seem to be reasons why they are choosing not to support cross-platform play. These include how PC games are more vulnerable to hacks than console games, the advantage the mouse & keyboard would give PC owners, and the logistics of applying updates to two different platforms. He does, however, offer an indication that they are keeping their future options open after the game is released: "And then the other part is leaderboards and other things. And maybe in the future, we'll start connecting them up and doing that. Again, it's never been a technology problem; it's more game balance and update calls."
