I actually agree with him on the cross gen point since I have played Destiny on PS4 and not the other games.
It seems clear to me that Destiny could have taken advantage of the new consoles in a much more sophisticated way that actually innovated the FPS genre. One of the biggest issues I have with this game is its inability to live up to its MMO identity. Each of the worlds may look nice , but the number of players on the map is just disappointing. These worlds feel empty and right now I really do not see any point of Destiny being always online because you almost always are alone on the map or maybe with one or two other people who you almost never interact with.
I feel like cross-gen might have really held Destiny back in this regard, not letting the world be bigger and certainly putting more enemy on the maps and hence allowing more players to inhabit them. If done right, this could have made Destiny something amazing. As of now, the PS4/Xbone versions are games that just look nicer. Nothing more.
