I thought they meant that PS4 would have exclusive Beta while XBox1 would not... meanwhile PC will continue with closed Beta and also get open Beta around the same time as PS4

I kind of hate this announcement.

not that I don't like the idea of having console players in ESO, but it's kind of ridicules to advertise with megaservers "where you'll find all your friends" and than divide "all my friends" onto 3 different megaservers.

or am I not supposed to have friend that play on other platforms?

ESO F2P within a year of being released due to poor populations with the news its going on the consoles.

For the second question, I was going to get it for PC but now will probably get it for console. Not sure which yet.

I don't understand the angst from some people. This doesn't change anything that we knew about the game since this time yesterday.

Six, actually. US and EU have different servers as well.

Why would another thempark mmo put WOW in it's grave.

Yeah great idear...

Put the console players together with pc gamers...

Console player cant keep up with pc gamers not because they are bad, because the have a controller and we have a keyboard and a mouse.

In my opinion... consoles are good for sports based games, platform jumping games and even some racing games (not all)... because they lend themselves well to the controller based gameplay. I've never had an issue with playing these type games on a console. They are fun.. not too deep.

Now shooters on a console are just weak. I know they sell well on consoles, but I don't think shooter games play that well on consoles, trying to line up a headshot without auto-assist aiming is maddening. A mouse/keyboard can line up a headshot in .1 sec.. or less. I'm sure there are gifted console players with hours and hours of practice that can play a shooter really well on a console. But put that player against a mediocre PC shooter gamer and the console guy will get crushed on average.. and against a pro level PC player.. buhahahahaha, buhahha! (And on average, shooters are a hella lot easier now than back when Quake and Unreal Tourney ruled the lay of the land... but I digress)

Now, the holy grail of PC gaming is the MMO. Sure, some aspects of gameplay could be managed on a console... but some aspects do not work well using a controller. Chat for example... hey, I'm fighting this mob but my friend wanted to talk... let me put my controller down and grab my keyboard.. AWKWARD! I know the game will support voice.. but that will be intergroup only. Out of group play will be silent. /chirp chirp... silent. (Look at DCUO on PS3 if you want to see how quiet a "MMO" can be. FAIL)

But what really kills me is the limitations that will be put on ESO because of having to support console. I know they have wasted time on making something consoloable. ( a new word for MMO's... CON - SOLO - ABLE) I feel it takes away from the PC experience having to support the limited crapability of consoles. Have to load a zone from a DISC>? that is sooooo 1990's-ish. I just feel fail all over this title now. FAIL.

I DETECT FAIL.

I really really wanted ESO to be my new MMO. But with the announcement of it coming to consoles is a punch in the gut. ARRGHHGG!!!.

I'm just not sure if I can play on my account on a PS4..I'd like clarification on that
