Actual Poll for Console players: Xbox One NA, Xbox One EU, PS4 NA, or PS4 EU?

PS4 NA

PS4 because all my friends and I jumped shipped from the 360 last gen.

I think you'll need a second poll once specs are released and also after BETA starts.

I saw something online yesterday that concerns me...i'll hold my tongue as its hopefully just rumor-mill...

Thank you for intentionally screwing up an important poll for actual console players.

In the future, to avoid this having a PC option could be handy.

@NewBlacksmurf As @KrisButtar said, do tell. Link it even, if you can.

Damn, that's 4 more megaservers. Expenses should be huge. Hopefully, PC community won't suffer if consoles fail.

You can blame M$.

Sony was cool with Console and PC playing together.

But M$ was like NOPE, and ZoS caved.

MS has had a long history of jealously guarding their Live network and requiring Gold membership to do ANYTHING (they only recently opened it up to where you can even use the Xbox Netflix app without paying for Gold). It's one of the many reasons I stopped supporting them this generation (I still own an XboxOne, but only for exclusives).

As such, they have been VERY hostile to MMO's or any other online games that want to offer a separate subscription. While Sony has allowed users to play MMO's like DC Universe Online without requiring PSN+ membership, MS have refused to let anything happen on their network without users paying them their $5/month cut.

I was really hoping this attitude would change with the new CEO, but no movement so far. MS continues to make all the wrong moves with the Xbox. It's pretty telling that this former Xbox fanboy and huge fan of the first Xbox and 360 is now a PS4 supporter.

PSN+ is at least worth the subscription too. The free games they offer each month actually give it some value outside of "You have to pay us this extortion money if you want to play any online games."

You are right. They are diehard about not allowing Live to access outside servers. Really has cost them in games.

Some might argue that they have made it up by not having nearly as much downtime due to hacks and security failures. But that's for others to argue.

@Zazaaji I will only say this.

For 12 - 18 months of additional console development time.
Now having starting the first step of the BETA...

1.they will only share FPS and other features but are very tight lipped on both consoles when asked the resolution.
2. they still do not have all the details posted (which is why i created the consolidation thread)
3. they are very reluctant to respond to threads
4. there is not console section in the forums
5. the game is not listed on the xbox one store (PS store in some countries)
6. PR from either console doesn't exist
7. the transfer to console is only 30 days
8. this game still doesn't have an app

in 18 months and redesigning the entire UI and with so many updates to each console.....this information should have been released by now.

just consider those few for any other console game release at 45 days out

Don't you think that their own controller support will be much more useful, than Xpadder or anything like that? They worked on the controller UI for such a long time, so it should give us everything we need.

Remember, I played Skyrim on console so I have seen how that worked. The answer was a much more sparse/simple control set than is available in ESO. If you really get to know Xpadder it has some pretty sophisticated options. I could have duplicated the control set from Skyrim almost exactly but instead I have set up a lot more control options. For example, I use my lower right trigger to shift to a second set of controls, effectively doubling the number of options I have available. That means it takes longer to learn all the controls. To me it is totally worth the learning curve but a lot of console players are not use to that level of complexity so Sony and/or ZoS might shy away from it. Even with all that, there are still times when the KB/Mouse is a better choice (e.g. in menus).

But for the sake of argument let's say they did come up with a completely awesome control set that was better than anything I designed. That still leaves the issue of plug-ins. I would have to give up my mini-map. I would have to give up my sales tracking in a world where guild sales really matter. Also my harvest maps, skyshards, and a variety of other convenience plug-ins that save me hours of frustrating puttering around the landscape farming materials. To make the console experience worthwhile Sony really needs to loosen their grip enough to allow these sorts of additions.

Just a question, will it be possible to change servers with our character or we will need to create a new one?

For exemple, in Warface Xbox 360 Edition, I had an European friend so I join him in EU server, but I wasn't able to play with my character and had to create a new one (lvl 1).

If you're asking in terms of the console copy...yes

Most of those can be explained

1. Its been that way with multiplatform games this gen because of the X1vsPS4. They are targeting 1080/30
2. agree and thanks for that I've used it and linked it for others.
3. Its like that with most threads around here though
4. I believe ZOS mentioned on the forum that there wasn't going to be a platform specific sections
5. Most digital games I know on the consoles don't get put up till roughly a week maybe two before launch. So that's not odd to me.
6. agree
7. ZOS wants to make money
8. Where did you hear the game was getting an app?

Care to share what you seen on a few days ago? I'm curious as none of those stand out to me, well maybe 8 does but please share.

What I can share is mostly on Twitter and/or redditt
I have two associates that test games and do a lot of previewing of media copies and interviews. Nothing mind blowing but just a very very concerning lack of details this close to BETa and release.

FYI PS4 store does specify 1080p and 30FPS so there is no reason to hold off on Xbox one details unless there is ...

I'll give the PS4 a lash as it's cheap enough and we have the character copy over confirmed.

May as well see what it's like, but wont be putting to much time into it.

Well if you were smarter, you would leave an option for "No Console, only PC!"

i predict ps4 will see a higher number. Xbone, or rather microsoft in general, does not have the confidence of gamers lately.

I'm not into which one is better discussions, in the past I have owned all consoles.

However, a fellow guildie who owns both and is a long term xbox fan, she was expecting to get it on the XBone and presumed her friends were too.

She has now changed her mind for the simple reason that her fellow previous XBone friends have all decided to get it for the PS4 instead, many trading in their XBones for PS4s.

Not sure why, but for some reason MS doesn't seem to have attracted the same enthusiasm with a lot of previous 360 owners.

Trouble with the welcome back weekend was it was so under hyped/advertised.

When I stop playing an mmo, I usually ignore any emails I get from them.

And if you are one of the many that brought the game but left, while a fair few will have heard about it being b2p, again there hasn't really been any major advertising encouraging such players to give it another go.

A game I left and was dissatisfied with, that's a huge download, not sure I would just try it out because it has gone B2P, I would need something more to encourage me back, big news articles telling me of the changes etc.

I imagine a lot of console players are.

For the price, it's worth me buying the PS4 version but my main game play will still be on the PC.

This is also true for others I know.

Strange numbers.

Wonder if a good percent of the folks on Xbone are the country people left out of the PS4 migration?

Can I suggest at least setting it up and downloading the console updates just to make sure everything is ready.

@ch1no92
Not only what NewBlacksmurf said, but also the fact I can't add you since you're not registered as having an Xbox One yet. "ch1no92" comes up with no results on the Xbox Windows 10 app. I've added and messaged many people (including NewBlacksmurf) using it before, so I know it works fine. There's something screwy on your end.
