Hello, I just heard out about TES:Online and was worried that it will be PC only :/ and I've only got a Mac and a Xbox which makes me sad that I might not be abke to play it

So do you think it will be on Macs/Xbox/Ps3?

It's PC and Mac.

No known information as yet. Hopefully it'll be in tomorrow's teaser or the GI article.

I'd still get a PC for it, if I do. Because if I'm buying it, that means it isn't monthly, but I'd still have to start paying for xbox live (which I refuse to do). I think it could work on multiplatform, but I'm no tech so I don't now if there'd have to be platform-exclusive servers.

I wouldn't think that any MMO's would be released on the 360/PS3. They're both toward the end of their life cycles. Maybe next generation? I know Arenanet has a division looking into bringing Guild Wars 2 to consoles. But they didn't specify this gen or next. I would assume next.

It's also possible that it could run in BootCamp, if your Mac has an Intel processor.

It's PC and Mac.

Yes this was confirmed in the GI cover reveal:

The Elder Scrolls Online is scheduled to come out in 2013 for both PC and Macintosh.

Mac and PC and MMOs generally aim for low minimum specs to reach a wider audience.

Interesting. The reason I don't play Skyrim on PC is because... I don't own one. I have a Mac and a PS3. I'm cautious about this idea.

I really hope so, my PC cannot run Skyrim so I'm PRAYING I can play this.

I don't have a mac or a good pc. Time to save up i guess.

Throw console owners a bone pls.

Perhaps it's better that way?

I'm a console player and I dont mind MMOs on the computer. They most likely work better when they are computer only.

» Tue May 15, 2012 12:07 am

MMO's just don't work on consoles. Look at MMO history.

» Tue May 15, 2012 1:25 am

I would have bought it if it was coming for PS3.

I guess they don't want my monthly fee.

Where are people getting their info? It says right in the only source for all this that its coming out for PC and Mac. Follow the source, it shall answer your questions!!

I just wish it was "no TES MMO anywhere, ever".

» Tue May 15, 2012 6:00 am

mayhap for the next gen consoles

» Tue May 15, 2012 12:11 am

Eh, look at final fantasy mmo. It could work, only problem is most likely PCs and consoles would have to be restricted to different servers. For a number of reasons like unfair advantages BC of macros and consoles internet not handling the ampunt PCs can. Bit really for them to do consoles theyll have to wait for nextgen consoles to come out first BC mmos ussually try to hot the 5 yr lifespan and hopefully hopefully consoles can quit holding the market back by then.

Wow, just came from work and I saw the forums with the MMORPG news. This is news indeed. I HOPE the online TES game covers the whole of Tamriel and I hope each province be big enough to warrant to ride a horse. Of course, I'm not expecting the debut to have all the landmass already done for us to deep in. Anyways, Beth, I'm looking forward to this new phase of your franchise.

Btw, Will the TES MMO be free?

UPDATE: I think I should take my reply to the official MMO thread.

Highly unlikely from my experience with MMOs...

Unlucky mwhaha

Well I hear they are going to port GW2 to console at some point so maybe they will with this at some point. Unlikely but there is always a slim chance. Most of the people who wanted multiplayer seemed to be console based anway.

» Mon May 14, 2012 6:21 pm

No and ...no, they cant make a proper console mmo, if someone made another console MMO like EQOA or FFXI id be all for it, but they cant.
