No. It's PC and Mac only.


Fucking bullshit.

Bethesda needs to send me 200 bucks for a new graphics card.

Console is a terrible platform for any MMO that needs constant patching.
Imagine the amount of money they would have to pay for patch certifications.
Fuck that.

Defiance is working pretty well, but they're able to utilize server side patches that require no certification. They still have to do big stuff through sony and microsoft. Very small downloads that don't cost them anything extra pop up quite a bit as they update the servers for bug fixes and such.

So the mmo is their next project. I think I read somewhere this guy who did like 1 other mmo with moderate success is heading it. So is this an entirely new team or is he just leading the existing bethesda team?

The elder scrolls MMO is a different studio. ZeniMax Online Studios is developing it. Bethesda is publishing it.

Bethesda has already said they have had hands on consulting with Zenimax to get shit right.
It will still fail for the people who want a straight up elder scrolls game.
That just wont work as an mmo.

I feel like there has been enough complete fucking mmo fails to know what not to do now.
then again, I figured Bioware was going to deliver something amazing and that shit was a the hardest facepalm in the mmo genre.
