Hypothetical scenario: Would you play ESO on consoles, if:

DEAD.line

Positive- There'd be no/almost no bots, gold spammers, most bugs fixed and an overall smoother experience.

Negative- No keyboard support, you'd have to use a gamepad for combat, interactions, chatting, etc.

- And latter updates. I actually don't know if the console versions will be getting updates at a similar pace (like Craglorn at launch), but for the sake of discussion, imagine every update is like 3 months late.

Indiferent- No need to PS+, Xbox live. Bethesda as actually been in discussion with Sony and Microsoft to make it not necessary. I think they actually achieved it. But in this hypothetical scenario, let's say price doesn't factor in, being the P2P/B2P/F2P, whatever.

So, would you trade in your PC version for the console version?

Nope - don't have a console to start with

masterdtox

I totally would if they would have basic MMO features in this game. Atm there is to much missing not make it even worth playing after the free month on both platforms if they don't add the needed BASICS.

Panzerbase

Given all of that no, I play games on a computer for a reason, that being to avoid the garbage controllers and substandard technology.

What if you had a console, since it's hypothetical.

Quesa

I would not play an MMO on a console.  I have a hard time finding any game that I would enjoy on a console vs a PC in any regards...especially since tech is held back on games that support consoles as well as PC's BECAUSE of console tech(that annoys me to no end).

There are keyboards for consoles... every single one.

Sorry, OP.

Yes, I would play on a console.

I currently have Xbox 1

There is? Do current gen consoles have native keyboard and mouse support or are you talking about some form of hacking? I heard some games could support it, but never saw anything concrete.

BurntCabbage

nope..if you think the pc version was bad with bots "it was at first now its not so bad"  wait till it releaes on console ..everybodys mother with be in-boxing their xbone / pos4 with people wanting to sell gold n items..imo i dont think they will have a easyer going on the console with controlling the gold sellers..hell what they gonna do brick 90% of the "new genra" of consoles..i dun think so..this game wont last a month on console imo...but dont get me wrong the pc version is great and they are cleaning it pretty nicely =D

Actually your negative is also a positive.  I've also been awiting for MMORPG's to come back to consoles, now that they are with ESO and EQ NEXT going to PlayStation 4,  I think its the right time to buy a console as well.

 

Would I trade in my PC version?  No, but will I also play PS4 version as well, definitely!

 

I hang onto PC in hopes someday mod's will come to the game in some form when the Zeni team has time to ensure its cannot be exploited and the PS4 for all the reasons you just listed, both good and bad (which is actually good)

even the PS2 had usb voice chat and keyboards, wired and wireless.   Its all standard part of consoles now.  No hacking required.

Not a cold chance in hell.  There is nothing on consoles that cannot be done superbly better on PC.

Will ESO on Xbox require a gold account?  Apparently yes, hypotheticals notwithstanding.

Do the Playstations and Xboxs report your activity?  Sure do.  Do they offer you tools to hide your location and identity from nefarious/psychopathic fuptards?  Nope.  Are there ways around all that nefarious crap with PC's?  Sure as hell yes.

Will console players be playing on the same server as PC gamers?  According to the link above they sure won't be.  Why is that? Maybe because console gamers cannot compete against mouse/keyboard gamers.  Here's a couple links explaining why: 1, 2, 3.  The only way you can get them on the same page is be removing features from the PC, to handicap them.  If Consoles were superior in any way shape or form one would not have to hamstring the PC in order for them to be on the same level.

Finally, and in closing, here's a quote from NVIDIA concerning the PC vs Console debate: “We are proposing small form-factor PCs to be a viable alternative to the next-gen consoles. Enthusiast players want the ultimate games system and that is the PC. The PC platform is far superior to any console when it comes to gaming, plus you get all the extra functionality that a computer brings.”

Funny how PS4 and XBox 1 both went AMD and not NVIDIA graphics cards.

Confirm what others have already said you can hook a keyboard up to a PlayStation without needing to hack the console.

I will be moving over from PC to PS4 when it releases.

So just what did you actually think that nvidia would say?? Buy consoles so we dont make money.
