Why so silent about console version ZeniMax Online?

Next month ESO is set to launch on XBO and PS4. So far there is no date and no word about the exclusive beta for PS4 owners. Has it been delayed or what?

Why so silent ZeniMax Online?

    No I have not. They probably don't know or are allowed to say anything. But I read something about a stream going live today from ZeniMax. You or anyone read anything about that?

    I haven't. Once it dawned on my and I don't know why it took me forever to realize that xbox and ps4 will be on different servers than the PC version. I just forgot about the console thing.

    I am sure they will stick to the launch date. I will try to poke around and see if I can find anything.

    Probably because they are currently drafting a press release explaining they are either delaying or canceling the port to consoles.

    They are not cancelling the console versions. They have said both will release on 6/30. Until you hear otherwise thats the date. As far as the beta maybe they wont have a public one.

    They stated June, not June 30th. Unless they recently stated otherwise. Do you have a link?

    They're so silent because it probably isn't running right. I just hope they put it off until it is, and have public beta tests before launching it.

    Yes. That's clearly it. The only possible reason they aren't providing you with regular, personalized email updates is that the whole game is broken. Because Illuminati.

    No one said anything about regular, personalized email updates hon, nor did anyone say anything about the whole game being broken, oh Drama Queen. Nobody said anything about any of that but you.

    Microsoft and Sony have extremely high standards before they will allow any game onto their platforms. It seems obvious that something isn't running right, or they'd be holding public betas or at least sending out beta invites to preorder customers if nothing else.

    The silence is deafening, and with only six weeks until launch, that's not a very good sign to anyone with common sense. The controls alone are very different on console, not to mention that each console's programming language is completely different from the others' and the PC's.

    Think about how long PC betas were running before early start.

    A game in this state is not console worthy, only pc-mmo crowd puts up with something like this.

    I made a thread about the console version and how due to the lack of communication on the subject reduced the amount of money I will be paying for it. Got nearly 2k Views and over 100 comments, still no valid information. So I don't expect to see any. Maybe in June when majority have forgotten or moved on, and still only a few thousand care to play.

    They have multiple teams, most of the bugs in ESO is server based and does not affect the console development much.
    Internal testing might take an hit.

    And I agree its an lack of updates, they should start releasing more info just to generate interest.
    If they decides to delay the launch 1-2 months it would be better to say it now. than in a month.

    I just hope the leaked info that it's delayed for half a year is not right. That could be very well the death of the game. So many good consoles games will be out then that when it launches it will never get the focus and attention a launch game need.

    They are not cancelling the console versions. They have said both will release on 6/30. Until you hear otherwise thats the date. As far as the beta maybe they wont have a public one.
    Worst case scenario is a delay of 1-3 months.
    Most of the porting would be done and its no issues with runing thing game on PS4/ One neither hardware or controll.

    Beta will probably be like on pc you have to sign up and get an key.
    They don't need the same amount of testing for consoles as the server is the same so the beta will be more like an demo.

    So it appears best case is 6 months, worst case never. Really sorry to see this game sink like this :(

    Once again I'm glad that I jumped to PC wagon before this, after playing on console for 10 years or so.

    However one must look at the brighter side of things, it will be much more bug free on console when it comes.
