Why the late date for consoles?

Perhaps we need Sony to put pressure on these companies, we should be complaining to them. If the games are sucking on counsel then the counsel sucks and I don't think Sony wants that.

Feb 27th is in all reality, March 1st. I'm shaking my head at you ZoS. What a load of crap. The 12th is a legit date but the 27th?! Come on...

Two big fat thumbs down. I truly hope the wait is worth it!

Atleast youll get some more loadscreens to look at

ZOS has decided that to them it’s more important to push out PC updates as soon as they possibly can.

They don’t actually care about console release dates as much as PC in terms of the release effective date.

While there are arguments suggesting whose fault it is......it’s the developers who are in control

It’s a simple polish, present, clean, polish present and when everything is green lighted then you announce new DLC and spend that time PTS and testing it for quality.

Not how things are done around here but hey what do I know.....I just play games

It would be more logical to release within the same week and get approved 60-90 days out so you can minimize the issues then launch day isn’t chaos......


Instead release day is a forum of this per platform

Pretty far from the truth. ZOS is not really the ones in charge of the final release date if everything has to go through Sony and Microsoft. Whenever PTS has discovered another bug, glitch or issue that needs to be fixed before the patch goes live, it forces ZOS to get Sony and Microsofts approval again to release the fixed version. At that point you could argue "well why not delay the PC release and stop PTS testing until the final version was approved and all platforms get the same release day?" To be honest, that sounds even more unfair than the status quo. Why delay one platform artificially just because the other is the one being complicated?

Which reality is this?

Is it because of a tesseract or something?

Oh relax, February 27th is barely February. It is practically March. Hell by the time the damn DLC downloads, it WILL be March. My point is still valid, they say February and one doesn't expect to get the DLC on the second to last day of the month. It is, February, sure but come on... it's not really "February"

Anyway, I'm arguing a mute point. Maybe I'm the only one irked by the long wait but my question has been answered.

It is most defiantly, completely and utterly February. By no stretch of the imagination or reality is it anything other than February.

Console release is later because WE the pc players are the beta testers for console players so if ZOS messes up they can fix before launching the console version. And Microsoft and Sony are pretty demanding on update quality so thats why.

More or Less it to see if any big bugs pop up on PC that can be fixed before consoles get the same patch.

Seriously what's the rush. It's a couple of weeks rathe than raging about their release process maybe talk about what you are so excited about in it that you are impatient..

To be its logical, end PTS, send for certification as you prep PC launch. Only option they have is to hold.back PC launch and.no realbneed for that
