Um E3 just announced ESO on ps4 so.

Idk what to make of this.

Ya, saw it. Really did not see that coming. Talk about a bombshell!

I know,What the hell? O.o

And exclusive beta for ps4? What the hell??

Zenimax told us they didnt have plans to release it for consoles..

Its fine I suppose. But I hope it doesn't make the PC version come out till 2014, and not Q4 of this year. But I hope that it will still allow the content in ESO to not be lack luster.

Fact is, Consoles are a bigger market than the PC. They go where the $$$ is.

Ahh so thats why it was dumbed down so much.

I also did not expect this. I will need time consider the implications of a console mmo. hmmmm

Terribad.

I don't like that its going to console.

No its not. Not each console seperatly atleast.

You can't make up a lie and then say fact

they said no consoles - feel so lied to

It is official I am buying one of the versions.

Bethesda games have always sold more on the consoles. That much is fact.

Noone knows that, we don't have full digital sales info.

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

Seriously though, does this suggest anything about the game's likely payment model?

I hope it will be like Minecraft or Terraria where the development teams are completely separate and work on the different versions independently, I don't want 1/2 of the development team leaving the project one month after release or compromises having to be made for the dumbed down console version, or this game doesn't stand a chance against modern MMOs.

Better not effect PC version or I wont buy it.

I'm so angry right now.

Why are people so upset about this? I'm seeing a thousand tears flow about "DUMBING DOWN". Was Skyrim a dumbed down game? Pretty sure I remember it being available on console. I don't want to play an MMO on a console, so...I won't? I was planning on buying the PC version and still will.

A bit confused about this "exclusive beta access" comment though. They're going to freeze PC beta until PS4 beta is ready or something? How is that going to work? My impression was that the PC beta was going to continue and get larger; is this going to affect that in any way?

As long as the PS4 version does not hold the PC back then i'm fine with it.

They said no plans at the time. This shows that they were just trying to keep it a secret.

So lying.

They didn't want to say it to piss people off, and people are clearly pissed.

Thanks Bethesda you finalized my decision! Love you!!!

To be fair guys, Anet was planning a console version of GuildWars 2 and that isn't dumbed down

TES have always been on modern consoles. This is a good thing.
