In light of the announcement yesterday that ESO will be available on PS4 and XBONE, I thought I would create a poll to gauge player reaction to the news.

I tried not to make this poll biased, but if anyone feels it is, please let me know and I will edit the questions/answers.

d'oh, I forgot an option... editing.

for the second question there needs to be a maybe or a i was thinking of it but now i am not so sure.

Edited and added that as an option. Thanks!

Your polls state that the game is on consoles so therefore its suddenly become too easy. Knee jerk reaction.

I was absolutely shocked at first when my brother told me, he said; they shown the ESO at Sony's conference!

Didn't believe him at first.

But, I thought it was an awful idea and I was raging for quite a while, but it doesn't seem that bad after hearing some of the extra information, like separate serves and all that.

Hopefully this will really put WoW in the grave, now.

One more thing. Can we play the same account on our PS4 and PC? If not, I'll just stick to PC, but it's always nice to have two ways of doing it.

to put it simple: I dont like this decision because:

- it delays release date

- it can have negative impact for releasing patches

- exclususive DLCs?

But of course these are just my thoughts, and they can be wrong (I hope they will).

Hmm, yes that may be leading, or it may cause people who were going to select that option not to. I edited that option and removed the "making the game too easy" part.

> Delaying release date just means more polish, do you remember how badly Skyrim launched? Now imagine that but in typical MMORPG mega-bug form.

> The PC will be updated sooner than the console versions, and the new-gen consoles are much more friendly to all the updating technology and aiding developers, especially the PS4.

> Exclusive DLC's? Urrm, that could go either way, it's baseless.

to be honest, im actually a bit worried about in what way this will affect eso and the pc/mac version, sure bethesda gets more copies sold, which means more cash for them, but basicly everthing they do with eso (updates, chats, menues etc) has to work on consoles to, so it might get to much of a port for my taste, unless they plan to make the pc-version a bit more advanced than the consol ones

sure, it might not realy affect the game, but it might also turn out to become a bad pcport and im not interested in that

worst [censored] decision EVER

This could work, but only if they add some, in my opinon, important features:

1. We have to be able to play cross-playform.

2. The game should be free to download, but ofc, cost to activate your acount. We must not pay to activate our acounts on both console and computer.

3. The game must not be dumbed down to fit the consoles.

Btw, love how no one put in "I'll play it om my Mac."

I'm fine with it coming to consoles. I don't think it'll harm the PC/Mac version in any way but postponing the launch, which even that maybe by that time they'll have could have things like adventure zones and a crime system.

I'll still get it on my PC although I'll need to upgrade my PC because in it's current state PS4 capabilities creams my PC.

Will it damage content updates? Very unlikely. Content updates don't work the same way like DLC for Oblivion and Morrowind; there needs to be a constant stream of new content to maintain a playerbase.

I still like ESO, but Iam feeling unsure, 2014 is a long time to wait, if another relatively good MMO comes out this year, I'll play that instead.

I remain unphased. I still plan on buying and playing the PC game they have been making for the last 5+ years.

This forum is not a very good place for that poll. Most of the people here a PC players.

Why would anyone take part of a discussion about a game they thought won't release on a console?

At least as a PC player I wouldn't talk on a forum about a console title.

Now the announcement is out there will be more console-players on the forums hopefully. But right now

It's too early to ask.

You may be right, but I think word will spread quickly. When ESO was first announced at E3 last year, word spread very fast. I have a feeling the same will happen with this news as well.

As it stands know i will not play Eso, i really dont want to waste my time with a MMO that also on Console. i really dont want to wait for bugfixes 3 months or longer.

If i want such crappy things i would have a consoles, so lets see there must be a MMO that does things right.

But i still will check it from time to time to see if they see there mistake.

In this case delaying release doesnt mean, they will spend more time on polishing the game, cause they have more work to do, now.

About being more friendly - that's what SONY and M$ say, we will see, if it's true

- exclusive DLCs - think about Dragonborn, which was first release on xbox360

of course theres more work now but that still doesn't mean they won't have more time now to add in somethings they were going to hold till after launch or add more polish to existing content. I mean its not like they are starting over after 5+ years of development. The game being ported to consoles will take some time sure but it does give them time to also polish what they already have been for again the past 5+ years.

I don't care, it won't affect the game the way I see it. People worry too much.

Still plan to buy and play on PC. Doesn't effect me much at all. Glad console people are segregated to their own mega-server.

Have to say I am totally understand why they would want to release the title on consoles. Money. Have to also say it makes me sad. I am no longer excited for ESO. No matter what they say, or anyone says... consoles in general will water down the MMO genre. I've already posted it in several other threads how I feel about how easy today's MMO's are. On a console, how much further will the genre fall. Sad day for PC gamers.

The MMO as I knew it from days past is DEAD. I for one am sick of themepark MMO's. ESO on a console will be a themepark MMO in the worst sense. Dont kid yourself into thinking otherwise. It's going to blow.. so sad. So sad.

It sickens me to know my beloved hobby of PC gaming is being relegated to a niche venue... as in, no longer do AAA developers write games for PC alone. The best PC games will be produced by indie shops or individual groups looking to keep true PC gaming alive. The old PC gaming industry is dying - or at least it is severely limited by console-itis.

/sad day.

You dont know that.

Not enough options to answer sufficiently.

1. Unless I'm able to invest into getting a gaming rig together that greatly outperforms the new consoles (just bought a house a month ago) and can dedicate an area so that I can play it on my tv, it'll be on a new console. I'm not sure yet, but for now availability is on PS4 for me.

2. Yes - I was not planning on getting it because it wouldn't be available on console. Now it is and the chance has risen greatly.

3. Yes. More gamers = more money = more investment into future development = better overall gaming experience

4. First option, I was shocked and it is a good thing for ESO and gaming.

5. In a way. As I mentioned, my money is limited to getting a new rig to play the game at a higher level then the console should be able to handle it at, and better than my current PC. So with it now coming to console, yes it has positively as it increased the chances of me getting it because at the pricepoint for the PS4, it just makes more sense to get that for me.

From all accounts, this is not a themepark MMO, so how can you denounce it now that it will be?

Then again, almost MMO's are really "themepark" because they all do the same thing.

Raid, PvP, RP, and chitchat. Unless you have player-controller governments and territories which can shift, rise, and fall with player interaction, yeh...they're all themepark and have been for a LOOOOONNNGG time.
