    According to Zenimax themselves the only difference between the PS4 and PC is that of the PS4 controller. That's saying a lot especially for a massively beautiful game like ESO. Now PC's of course will get much better as time goes so this statement will be null and void somewhere down the road. But it makes you thankful that next gen should look impressive.

    Sounds kind of bold for them to say, well not really I guess. It's nice to see consoles getting the praise like this, especially the PS4. But, I doubt it'll be as impressive 2-4 years down the road when PCs will just be that much better. It's a fact, we'll see PCs that much better a year from now, actually, probably days or months from now.

    Not really that impressive. Consoles will be obsolete in terms of graphics and speed within months of their release. That's how PCs work, they get better and better as time goes because they can be upgraded. Consoles cannot.

    It's a nice thing to say, but it's kind of pointless isn't it?

    I don't know the game could well fit into PS4, after all it has some good specs.

    Good to see the PC and PS4 on par graphics wise for a game like Elder Scrolls, tells you alot about how far we've come between consoles and PCs.

    PS4 = set graphics and game play
    PC = ability to improve the game through undates, mods and pc upgrades

    It's gonna be better to play on PC for sure.

    There should me much difference between the PC and console version as it's a next-gen game ad both PS4 and Xbox One can easily max this game out easily. Moreover, this game doesn't looks like it's going to be very demanding.

    As others said, I don't believe this to be true. Or even if it is true for now, it won't be for long.

    Computers just have the advantage here as they can be improved every few months, while the PS4 will remain the same forever. Hence, the PC version will be able to get several updates which the PS4 version just won't be able to support after a while.

    PS4 is going to be able to go hand in hand with PCs for at least a couple of years, before PC sprints ahead once again. So yeah, there won't be much difference.

    I think the PC version of this game will have options to increase the graphics; better than the ones they will have on PS4. The PC version will also have support for mods where we will creative stuff for the game that you can't on the PS4 version

    I believe the PC version would allow something similar to keybinding too, or is that useless in ESO?

    Even in graphics? I don't think so man. Unless ESO intentionally doesn't create better graphics for the PC version I can't see how PC won't have better graphics atleast.

    If you ask me, PS4 will have a better average graphic quality than the pc version which needs to be optimized due to the different computer specs out there, of course if we're only comparing the pc max vs the ps4, it might be a fair fight, but I think PC might do a tiny bit better.

    PC could always run any game better if it's got the hardware. Next gen looks impressive when it comes to graphics and draw distance, but I'm sure the PC version will have sliders so users can adjust it to get even better graphics and render distances out of the game.

    For sure it'll be better on PC. The PS4 version will be nice and all, but the PC version will advance further and further while the PS4 version will stay the original way. PC has the upper hand because you can update it more, mod it like crazy and all that good stuff. The PS4 version could be the same as the PC version, for maybe about a week.

    Aside from console being not upgradable, if i really must use the ps4 controller for some reason, im sure there will be work around like how ps3 controller can be used on pc now. PC all the way!

    Yes, it's must-have feature for any MMORPG on PC. I will be devastated if it doesn't have that feature.

    I think the PC version will be better just for the simple fact that PS4 software is new and so I am sure the software will not be running at it's max power for some time and will take several updates also playing MMO's on a PC will always be superior.

    I would personally be getting the PC version, I am not as big into console games anymore. There are also some benefits to PC games with updates and mods being released more often than not.

    I's pretty much know that PC version is going to be superior. Moreover, PC is the place where MMORPGs rule and thrive unlike consoles.
