It's 1,000 years or more before the age of the Dragonborn, just before the rise of Tiber Septim, the first Emperor of Tamriel, and the world is in a state of turmoil. The Daedric prince, Molag Bal, has stolen your soul and his next move is to destroy Tamriel. Across the mysterious lands of Morrowind, over the sprawling metropolis of Daggerfall and beyond, there rests the fog of battle, and out of the three alliances, only one can become the masters of Tamriel. Only one can seize the throne and gain the spoils of war.Gather friends, guildmates and alliances in the MMORPG world of The Elder Scrolls as it moves online on your PlayStation 4 for the first time ever. Choose your own destiny, your own character, your own allies and, ultimately, your own fate as you try to stop the evil machinations of the Daedric prince, Molag Bal, and the first-ever necromancer, Mannimarco, from bringing about the end of days. A unique combat system enables you to engage in real-time strategic attacks and blocks, while purposefully targeting your opponents. With The Elder Scrolls' Megaserver technology, the entire world of Tamriel is connected, so you will already have the strength and security that comes from being surrounded by your friends and guild mates. Use the game's compass to navigate through areas of interest at your own pace. Weapons and armor are available any time, so play as you like, develop your own style, and explore your way across Tamriel. The world is waiting.

I played ESO beta for both the PC and the PS4, and played the full version on the PC for a weekend about 2 weeks ago. The PS4 has the benefit of getting all the updates and improvements the PC version has gotten since launch. A lot of improvements have been made to the game since the beta phase and it is far more solid than its original inception.
In any case, the PS4 version is beautiful and runs at a solid 60fps with very rare cases of drops (it is a beta after all). The gameplay was fantastic and I found myself far more engaged and wanting to play than the PC counterpart. The controls are familiar and simple. The interface for modifying and interacting with your character is quite complex and confusing but with a little time it becomes manageable and easier to use.
Every interaction is voice acted which is a welcomed surprise for an MMO of this size. The game doesn't feel like Skyrim but rather an earlier iteration in the series which predates and sets up the events which lead to Skyrim. There is an abundance of lore and historical information that fans of the Elder Scroll Series will enjoy as I have. The mechanics of smithing, enchanting, and potion making are different than Skyrim but very familiar and will not take long to grasp; this is because they have to maintain balance in the MMO world but the changes are acceptable (no better nor worse).
I enjoyed the gear and rarity item system which is familiar to any MMO (if unfamiliar with rarity think Borderlands color scheme for gear) and it was very rewarding to find higher rarity items. I also enjoyed the ability to fight alongside other players; I found this annoying when I played the PC but on the PS4 it felt more cooperative than competitive when slaying enemies. This is especially true for the dungeons (raids), of which I was able to complete 3 different ones. It takes strategy and coordination with good communication, but unlike Destiny there is a matchmaking system to help you find a raiding crew and meet new people in the process. All 3 raids were challenging (some much more than others), but what I found particularly enjoyable was that they were all very different. None of the 3 raids felt like any of the others and each had their own quest (just remember to start the quest when you enter or miss out on the loot at the end as I did the first time!) which were interesting and had their own unique challenges.
If you enjoy TES and want to play alongside your friends then you will enjoy this game a lot. If you are a die hard MMO fan then this will feel less like an MMO and more like a cooperative campaign with MMO elements but if you enjoy TES you will like it as well. This game is a great way to play a new Elder Scrolls on a next gen system alongside your friends. With ten races, 3 different factions (and storylines), and four different classes to choose from the possibilities are entirely your own. With challenge mode activating after level 50 (after many many hours I only made it to 12) with new raids and ability upgrades this game is well worth the $60 to play. This doesn't even include the PvP areas (sorry can't comment as I did not try).
After playing the beta I immediately preordered and now can't wait for its release; it was a very exciting and enjoyable game I can't wait to continue!
My Best Buy number: 3445984348
I would recommend this to a friend!
