Possibility of The Elder Scrolls Online Coming To Consoles

Matt Firor, Zenimax Online Studios' head honcho recently sat down with GamesIndustry's James Brightman to discuss the future and vision of the new Elder Scrolls Online title.

In this interview, several interesting points were made on the topic of what devices the game would be developed for. When asked about the possibility of the game coming to consoles, he danced around the subject, not officially declaring the impossibility...

I hope the team can pull this off. The consoles need an MMO success and I believe they do it.

[WeskerChildReborned]

Yea would be pretty cool if they can do this.

[ATi_Elite]

I wouldn't be jumping for joy for a Elder's Scrolls Online console port!

from what I here it plays more like World of Warcraft than Skryrim.

Fallout Online looks to be a better choice!

[SillyBeans]

The chance for Fallout Online to come out at all are much slimmer than Elder Scrolls Online

[Eiffel]

Except for the whole Fallout Online being canned thing after Bethesda got the full rights.

I'd rather not have a Fallout MMO, spare one good RPG franchise from another MMO disaster. But, possibly and most likely if Elder Scrolls Online bombs, we may not have to worry about Bethesda giving Fallout the same treatment.

If the combat is anythin like Skyrim count me out

[SillyBeans]

IF you haven't seen anything about it the combat looks more like World of Warcraft than anything Elder Scrolls related.

Wonder if they'll implement Kinect for the Xbox 360 version? It would be nice to use it instead of Hotkeys on a keyboard.

"Haven't ruled it out" = very remote, slim possibility.

They've made it clear that only the PC game is currently in development. I wouldn't hold your breath for a console port.

[caseyjfer]

Its about time the technology caught up, and there's no better game to bring live online than a game that is based on an active console title, like the Elder Scrolls series.

[Skate-AK]

I wouldn't get it if it did.

[AgreeFairy]

Possibility of it coming to consoles means that they want to get it on PS3 & 360. If they can only put it on PS3 (which they should be able to do) then they won't do it at all because they would rather screw over their PS3 "fanbase" like usual.

[TheGamerScene]

This would be awesome! My dream!

[RememberThe357]

As long as they do it for next gen consoles I'd be interested. I don't know if I want it for PS3/360 if they could hold it of for a year or two and make it for the PS4/720.
