Looks pretty awesome.

Have you played SWTOR? It's based on that engine and that engine is terrible.

[mrmancs]

Nope but one can only hope... Be good if I could upload my skyrim character , he awesome!

Being an MMO and all, I wonder if cross play between all supported consoles will be available? I was planning on buying this for my PC but if it's available on PS4 that'd be an interesting concept.

[MysticStrummer]

History says there's not much hope for cross platform play, but there are exceptions so it is possible.

I didn't hit disagree by the way.

[threefootwang]

I know you didn't hit disagree, I saw that before you commented, but all good!

And yeah that sucks, looks like I'll be sticking to PC for the game then..still buying a PS4 though :)

[SlavisH2]

dev said on GT TV no crossplay!

[threefootwang]

Sucks, that could have had huge potential and help prolong the duration of the game, oh well!

[despair]

I really don't want this to suck but track records for most MMOs these days are not good.

[Xaphy]

skyrim online? count me in! looks good

Hopefully with PS plus we don't have to pay an extra monthly subscription for this game

[Gildarts]

If the game is free to play on PC, then no. But if it's pay to play then you bet your ass you're going to have to pay extra. Unless the console version is Purchase to play. Like Guild Wars 2.

[hellvaguy]

In game micro transactions I bet.

[aliengmr]

Far as I know they are using a subscription model for this game. That could change, but I doubt it.

Now as to weather or not subs are required for console is actually a very interesting question. On one hand, everybody should have to pay the subscription, and on the other it doesn't seem fair for the console gamers to have to pay "twice".

[TheGrimReaper]

A reduced fee could be the middle way for subscription based games imho.

Edit:
MAYBE this could work ->
You need PS+ for every MP game which actually uses Sony infrastructure but when a developer decides to use their own you'd only need to pay the subscription fee.

[hano]

Are people really interested in an MMO from Bethesda of all developers? *Sigh*

[MysticStrummer]

Don't think it's being developed by them, but I hear you.
