The Elder Scrolls Online MMO for the PS4, will not require a PS Plus subscription to play. The user just needs to pay the $14.99 a month fee to Bethesda. However, Xbox One users have to have an active Xbox Live Gold Membership to play the game, in addition to paying the monthly fees for the MMO.
Zenimax Online Studios, the developer behind The Elder Scrolls Online, is currently working on a brand new engine for a multiplatform title.
"It’s really special to be at the ten year anniversary."
Wccftech checked out the new Scribing system coming to Elder Scrolls Online with Gold Road and interviewed Creative Director Rich Lambert.
So what? Go buy a PS4 then. The only people complaning about the Xbox One at this point are people who most likely were not/are not going to buy an Xbox One anyways.
Most people will have PS+ and XBL anyway. Certainly the people on here who make this a big deal will have it. So what is the difference?
Did they ever release the amount the monthly fee will be for elder scrolls?
This is what will hurt them with initial sales of this game. A lot, and I mean A LOT I will not buy this game now knowing that they have a subscription fee.
Why?
Because my first thought was....Oh well. I will just wait until it becomes free to play like Rift, and The Old Republic did.
If you have a game that is a MULTIPLAYER ONLY game and you buy it, you HAVE gold...People wouldn't just buy Titanfall, and realize oh crap... this multiplayer only game can ONLY be played with LIVE! I understand how wanting apps to be out behind the paywall, but now people are getting upset over having to pay for gold to play a game online. That has been the policy for the last 8 years.
