Both Sony and Microsoft have stated many times that they totally undervalued how much people love their old games and would not make that mistake again.

Well its more than just that, traditonal console generations as we have known are technically not going to be a thing in how they used to be. One of the biggest changes was the hardware and architecture changes inside the machines which moving forward now, makes porting and backwards compatibility a non factor from a techncial standpoint as future consoles will simply be juiced up versions of the priors. They are effectively pcs. Marketing games on said consoles will still be a thing of course, but next gen consoles are likely moreso going to simply be platforms that upgrade over time where some games are only compatible with console C and onwards and other games are compatble with consoles A and B as well.

Ps4 and x1 were essentially restarts to the foundation which allows devs to easily develop games under a universal format without the reliance on unique SDKs to learn and work around. Essentially meaning dev stuidos really only need to know the specs of a planned upgraded console before developing a compatible game.

People greatly over estimate the monetary value in backwards compatibility vs digitally re releasing games on newer platforms. The margins arent that huge and arent really an influencing factor in whether or not to support backwards compatibility. It was almost always about the tehcnical hurdles of reverse engineering (no longer a factor going forward) and the cost of that time being worth it.

This, now add that both PS4 and One is based on an x86 cpu from AMD, its an pc processor and share the pc backward and forward comparability. This is why you have the PS4 pro and One X who is an stronger version of the console.
AMD has has had great success with its treadriper cpu, assume they will use this or an newer design.
Its an bit harder on console as you tend to code more directly to hardware but AMD will be very helpful here.

The only real significance of the PS5 name is that unlike Pro games does not have to be able to run on PS4 if to demanding.
Note that if your game is less demanding you would make it run both on PS4 and PS5 and this will increase sales in the beginning.

The console port is basically a more awful buggy version of the game.

You really want them to port it again and likely make it even more awful/buggy in the process?

NewBlacksmurf · June 2018

What if I told you neither are making new consoles that will require devs to redo their games. It’ll just be like the PS4 to os4 pro and Xbox one to Xbox one x

Just saying....if the 2020 rumors come true neither are going to start over.

The rumor mill surrounding Playstation 5 has begun. Apparently, the design is completed and ready for production. So, what will happen to ESO on Playstation 5? Will it be available on PS5? Will you need to use a PS4 to play it? Maybe TES VI will be an MMO?

Why do people keep saying this? TES VI will not be an MMO. Just like the past core games, it will remain single player.

Agreed. What makes it particularly bizarre is someone posted it in the forum for the TES MMO that already exists! SMH

Of course they will make a PS5 client if the PS5 comes out while ESO is still going strong. With no timeline on next gen hardware, silly to talk about.

ayu_fever · June 2018

as long as the ps5 is backwards compatible with ps4 games, my shiny new ps5 will be a dedicated $600 ESO player because i can

ArchMikem · June 2018

You know about Xbox One X Enhanced?

Same thing. Playstation 5 Enhanced.

I really hope ESO will be available on ps5, but with remastered graphics. Other way I think it will not be viable.

It won't be an MMO but we don't know for sure if it won't have some type of co-op, Bethesda is definitely going in that direction with Fallout 76, Prey etc.

They already stated that Starfield and TES6 will be their traditional single-player formula. It's more than unlikely that they'd have ESO commit suicide by adding a multiplayer option into TES6.

Starfield, sure. I remember hearing that too.

But not for TES6, they're not even developing it yet (pre-production?) so they themselves don't even know all the systems that will be in the game.

Also, if we're to look at their other games, they are definitely developing multiplayer technologies even for games that were exclusively single player until now (ex; Prey).

None of this actually means anything right now, but I am willing to give a co-op option at least 50-50 chance of happening if it proves successful in their other games.

Edit; Even if TES6 had co-op, I don't see how that would 'kill' ESO, that's very different from an MMO game. It won't kill ESO even if it doesn't, completely different games.

Prey isn't developed by BGS. The only game with any form of multiplayer that BGS has developed is 76. Could TES6 have co-op? Potentially, but I strongly doubt it. Todd has said in various interviews that Starfield AND TES6 will be the game style people expect from them: single-player, open-world RPGs.

TES6 having co-op may not necessarily kill ESO but it'd hurt it significantly. A lot of ESO players play it because they really just want a co-op TES experience and figure this is as close as they're going to get. That's a significant part of why this game is so successful: people want more TES and they want TES with co-op, two things they get in this game. I'm fairly certain that the only reason they're giving us 76 as a multiplayer game is because they needed a project to fill in the gap between F4 and Starfield, and figured that they already had most of the assets and tech available from Fallout 4 (including the core of the multiplayer feature), thus they didn't have to develop quite as much this time around. I think they merely saw an opportunity and took it. Besides, it'll only result in even more funding for their future games anyways.

the ps5 isnt coming out for a very long time thats all fake news. they dont have the hardware available for another generation yet that would be any better than the current gen.

While true ... PS5 new Xbox and even Google are planning on putting out the next gen consoles that will actually only be access ports to an online streaming project

I'm sure TES6 will be an awesome game with or without co-op, no one will care at that point. As for ESO's population, either way we're bound to see some drops when it comes out.

I agree, BGS has never let me down before. And yeah, we'll see some drops temporarily, and maybe a few permanent drops by players who only play to get more TES until TES6, but I think ESO will still succeed no problem so long as TES6 remains solely single-player.

Grabmoore · June 2018

Time to prepare for PS5 release now. Switch to PC! No, seriously. Are you really going to pay for an inevitable lag fest again? The new console will probably cost 600+ €, a price of a decent PC. Invest some more and you are save for years.

Just do it. Two friends switched in february this year. They are now max CP with 2 chars, vMA weapons and feel like they started a new life.

I hope it will get downgrated graphics so it does run with 30 fps at least lol

For a guy named knowledge u sure cant take a hint .even when todd howard gives it to u himself at e3

I don't agree. Yes, people love their old games. So, they would surely buy any kind of remastered versions for the next console.

Jake1576 · June 2018

Dcuo started on ps3 then when ps4 came along it moved to ps4 then eventually made dcuo only playable on ps4 i am certain eso will probably do the same when ps5 comes out that is if eso is even around at all then for any platform

Xx_Santolaya_xX · January 2019

It is still too early to know. but I hope that in ps5 we can continue playing at TESO.
I have spent a lot of money and it would take me a great disgust if I lost everything.
please, we want to keep playing with our account and all our purchases hahaha

GreenhaloX · January 2019

The current PS4 and HDR is awesome enough for ESO. I'm sure the next gen PS will be around $500-$600. No way I'm spending that much even if ESO is migrated into it. Only way I'll get the next PS if this current PS4 breaks, or the likes of The Witcher 4, Dragon Age 4, the next Deus Ex and Kingdom of Amular 2 (among other games I'm waiting for) come out only for the next PS. Besides, I doubt the next PS system will fix any of the lags, bugs, glitches and crashes currently plaguing ESO. However, to each their own; your money. Enjoy it when you all get it.

starkerealm · January 2019

Come on, guys. It's 2019, leave these threads to decompose in peace. @Knowledge hasn't been around here since that horrific incident with the demonic goat, and all those Skittles.

randomkeyhits · January 2019

When the XBox and PS3 came along they were a revolution, especially the PS3 with its cell architecture.

Now with the current gen stuff the OS side is an evolution, the hardware will get (a bit) better but it will still be the same PC innards we already know. The companies want to maximise their investments in their OS's so they'll build on them now as the road-plan is pretty damned obvious, PC hardware, Vendor OS for differentiation. If One were to go back and create a new OS from scratch it would put them way behind and they can't afford it.

and as @THEDKEXPERIENCE said they've realised what the backlash would be if they try and make us purchase our game catalogues again.

What you will see is new games incorporating features that only work on the latest gen, whatever that is and even then some games won't do that, their developers will want as wide a market as possible.

Moving to new consoles will be more of a thing for when the old one dies or if a developer manages to create a killer game that becomes a must have.

Yeah. Just because Pete Hines officially said it means there is no "proof". But only if you're Knowledge, apparently.
