The Elder Scrolls Online Devs Faced No Issues Due To Slower PS4/Xbox One Clock Speeds

The PS4 and Xbox One have powerful GPUs and tons of memory but if there is anything they lack in, it's the slower and weaker CPUs.

Are people still looking forward to this?

I hope it's going to be F2P on PS4

[_LarZen_]

F2P is for casuals and pay 2 win people. Dedicated gamers don't want or need that.

[extermin8or]

@_LarZen_ plenty of free to play mmo's like DC universe online have plenty of depth to them and are great games. Some of us don't want to pay extortionate subscription prices either.... and if done cofrectly F2P games don't have to be pay to win. Although I rarely play them myself much prefer a good bit of singleplayer or standard multiplayer..

I suppose I am. I never really played a MMO before. I got this for £15 on PC (with free 1 month game time). As It is a elder scrolls game and I like elder scrolls games.

I only bought it for PC because they had a offer on where if you buy the PC version before the end of June you get the PS4 version for £12 (with one month game time). From what I played of it. I enjoyed it it is certainly no game of the year title. But I reminded me a lot of Oblivion.

[Volkama]

That is a really weird offer. Would make some sense if it was cross-platform and you could take your characters with you, but pretty sure that is not planned so... weird offer.

Worth snapping up if you want to try the game though, it'll be a £50 retail game when it comes out on the console so £12 is a steal.

[ocelot07]

@Volkama though you can't play with PC players when on PS4. You can however transfer your PC character to console.

Offer is also for Xbox One as well as PS4.

Oh yes! Cant wait to play.

[masterfox]

the game looks horrible.

[Stapleface]

Beat me to it, I would hope they are having no trouble..

[MasterCornholio]

Like Angry Joe said "Its the most anti social MMO that I've ever played"

[xPhearR3dx]

You clearly haven't played Defiance. It's like people in that game don't realize a chat system exist. I've been playing ESO since early access and still am. The social aspect was never a problem for me. Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't have a guild and relied on the community to help get through parts of the game that required multiple people. There's people always talking and trading in chat, so ESO is far from the most anti-social MMO ever.

[Rob_Ko]

I have 7 year old PC with Core 2 duo 6600 on board and played the Beta in 1080p with high framerare on high setting.

PS4 is so much better than this crap, that I have no worries about performance.

[ziggurcat]

riiiiiiiiight, bugthesda... "no issues"... *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink*

[_LarZen_]

Fail!

Bethesda is not making ESO.

EDIT: But Bethesda is not the team making ESO. They made Skyrim etc. But not ESO.

[ziggurcat]

zenimax is bethesda.

[KonsoruMasuta]

Zenimax Online is not a part of Bethesda Softworks or Bethesda Studio. It's a completely different subsidiary of Zenimax.

Zenimax Online has nothing to do with Bethesda other than the two both being owned by Zenimax. They're two completely different subsidiaries that specialize in two completely different area.

[Master-H]

Who in their right mind is going to buy this after the way it turned out on PC ?

[Roccetarius]

If delaying it 6 months for consoles isn't warning enough, then i don't know what is. I already knew before release, that this was going the way of the trash can.

The MMO genre is so muddled currently, so this is a long standing issue.

[lemoncake]

Hopefully the PC release has given them enough feedback to make some decent improvements before console release. I can dream.

[imchuckbass]

Loved Skyrim, hated this. Really basic quests that are extremely repetitive ("Go here, kill this person, get reward"). Nowhere near as fun as Skyrim

Elder Scrolls 6 is what we should look forward to.

[LeoDDestroyer]

Well I have been enjoying the questing on ESO. It doesn't feel any different from skyrim to me but I killed almost everyone in skyrim when given the chance(Dark Brotherhood).

[DougLord]

They could literally release Daggerfall and no one would notice. Who is going to buy this for $60 and $15 a month after the PC Beta?

[hello12]

The CPU speeds obviously aren't great, but its also very obvious graphics aren't of a PC standard on consoles. So slower CPU speeds can suffice.

[corroios]

Powerfull GPU´S??? Where? one is weak and another is average...

Maybe in 2009/2010...

[Malphite]

This game is so broken on PC I'd definately recommend to wait for reviews before buying this blindly. If this won't go free to play I won't even bother with it anymore.

[LeoDDestroyer]

I have not had any major issues with the game. Only one time have i needed to relogged but I didn't get the game at launch either.
