The Agency may feature cross-platform play after all

In his latest interview with Gamasutra, executive producer Matt Wilson has stated that the team behind The Agency is still contemplating cross-platform play between the PC and PS3 versions of the game. Though this remark does contradict lead designer Hal Milton's earlier statements, it provides gamers with a glimpse of hope for attainment of the improbable. While the technology is capable of producing such an experience, the developers seem split on if the PC version may hold a slight advantage over consoles due to the mouse/keyboard combination.
One thing that will certainly be compatible between both platforms is user accounts. If you have the game for both the PC and PlayStation 3, you're able to log in under one character through each format. While this does come in handy for traveling to a friend's house, it still isn't as rewarding as playing with PC owners, which will undoubtedly increase the traffic of play.

I knew it. Nice. I still think despite the "Team Fortress" cartoony art style that this is the next big thing. I've had my eye on this game for a year. Have read up on this? What they want to do is ambitious.

"the developers seem split on if the PC version may hold a slight advantage over consoles due to the mouse/keyboard combination."
I don't understand how this is even an issue, since the PS3 can support mouse and keyboard control for games. They can't even say that the purchase of these items may be a prohibitive cost for PS3 owners, since you can pick up a perfectly usable USB mouse and keyboard for a combined cost of under £10.
