When will the console versions be available?

Just like the name implies, we were promised this a long time ago, at launch, and it is no where to be seen

When they say its ready.

thren_fellhorn

You do have a point there. but i was looking for a date.

Edit: Not a smart a** answer

ers101284b14_ESO

Did you use the search on here or look at their Facebook, reddit, or twitter?

thren_fellhorn

I have looked, it has been pushed back again. Which is very disappointing.

ers101284b14_ESO

There ya go sport. 1000's of people ask every day. But it's not gonna make it come any sooner. Just gotta be patient. If you get mad at every game that gets delayed your gonna have a bad time with this generation of games.

thren_fellhorn

true, I am not upset, just disappointed

ers101284b14_ESO

Trust me I know. Still waiting on Final Fantasy 15, and The Last Guardian

thren_fellhorn

ouch

zos is smart to not have the console version of the games out yet.

As soon as this game we are now playing is finished being beta tested by us.

A major portion of the base code will be the same; the interfaces (input and display) differing because of the different platforms. However, once console code is released, it is rather difficult to patch (comparative to PCs). They do not want to put out a console version of the game that is largely incomplete in terms of functionality and also buggy, so I presume they'll wait until they are sure the base code is stable and all functionality (e.g., the Thieves Guild, the Dark Brotherhood, and the justice system), zones, and other content ae present.

My guess is that will be a while. But keep in mind that they must certainly be doing concurrent development... and the PC release is somewhat of a testing ground for the console product.

As the pc version was an alpha on release and is still an unfinished buggy beta now, it's no wonder the signpost for the console version states:

Head for the horizon, and when you get there, eff off some more

I really hope consoles have their own subforum...

They will certainly have a dedicated forum on the console's game fora. There has been an ESO forum for the Xbox One since a console version was announced. I will probably transfer there since it will be far more relevant than this one is for me. The community that developed within the Skyrim forum was friendly, supportive, informative and helpful. Did I mention friendly?

As you can guess, I google for a console release date regularly. The last official word I have found was in the last Road Ahead which said it was still being worked on and he hoped an announcement could be made soon.

Ah, well said sir.

I wasn't actually dissing the console versions per say I should have clarified.
The common belief is that the consoles will be more or less polished. However im deathly afraid that this will not be the case.

I just have a feeling more issues will come to fruition due to the consoles they may or may not have anything to do with the pc client. Which is why they should have their own subforum.

It would be awesome to play good MMO on console but how can you play eso without knowing which trait items you have researched? How do you play when you can't tell which items you wan't keep and not sell/deconstruct? I would love to play with console but it won't be possible if they don't fix the broken UI first.

As soon as they suck enough money out of the PC subs to turn it f2p is the day the console disks hit the market.
