What the flipping fuck is Bethesda doing then?
Hiring actual programmers I would hope.
>>343834398
Providing consulting to Elder Scrolls: Hats.
>>343834398
Finishing Fallout 4 DLC right about now.
I don't see how that's possible, what buisiness would neglect a prime money maker like that? And Skyrim is going on 10 years old.
Nah this is bullshit. And there's no way they're working on a new IP either, that would take even longer.
>>343834398
>fallout 3 remastered
>>343834398
If you read the article you'd find out that the statement doesn't conflict with the possibility that ES:IV may be in the concept/planning/prototyping phase already, it just means full production hasn't begun yet.
Honestly that's not too shocking, most of the team is probably still working on Fallout 4 post-release content.
>>343834872

>>343835174
>Fallout 3 remaster
that's never going to happen it's xbox one backwards compatible for months
Why would they make Skyrim 2 when they can just release skyrim HD?
>TFW you know deep down knowing the new elder scrolls will never have as much content as your favourite elder scrolls title
>tfw every game on the market is being shat on for dlc and lack of content
>TFW games will never be as good as they used to be.
>>343834398
Isn't this a good thing? I'd rather wait another 10 for a good game than wait 2-3 for a fallout 4-tier shitfest. Not that I have faith they'll de-casualize elder scrolls.
I hope them losing the GOTY award to TW3 gave them a wake up call and they're actually working a new engine for the first time in over a decade. They brought up their previous GOTY awarded games over and over again leading up to FO4s release, so I like to think they take it way too seriously.
>>343834398
He said they never really focus on more than one thing at a time because they have chronic downs.
He also said something along the lines of starting after all f4 dlc is finished. Fucking hate fallout.
>>343835809
I'd rather they just spent 5 years oblivionising skyrim 2 instead of making some dogshit fucking shoot em up rpg that looks like it was made in 2010. FUCK TODD HOWARD 10 years for a sequel is beyond ridiculous. Basically means it should die.
>>343835848
They won a pretty big GOTY award from D.I.C.E, so they aren't feeling too bad.

>>343835848
>I hope them losing the GOTY award to TW3 gave them a wake up call
Yeah I'm sure they give a fuck about the Dduebro Gaming Awards when Skyrim sells more than 6 months than Witcher will sell in your lifetime.
>Skyrim was 20 years ago
>>343834398
>>343834398
Aren't they developing a whole new Sci-Fi IP
Weren't there some buzz in circulation about that before E3?
>>343835848
Yes anon, they'll wake up and realise that they can create the same lovingly rendered environments as TW3 overnight.
>>343835513
>tfw I have a PS4 with 15 or so games, a PC (70+ games on Steam) and I only play about 3 games across all platforms
>>343836946
You're thinking of Prey. That's Bethesda, but not Bethesda Game Studios.
youll buy it anyway goy
skyrim still creates buzz 5 years after release
>>343834398
They're probably making more vapid Fallout 4 DLC. I wish Fallout 4 DLC was like New Vegas DLC...
>>343837000
I'm right there with you man.

You guys are so dumb. Todd said that his Studio is working on 2 new IPs that will release before TESVI. How come you faggots forgot about that?
Currently Bethesda Game Studio is working on these 2 new projects. They will show them at E3 next year.
>Todd- "We are working on something completely different, but at the same time these games will be big and crazy like Fallout/TES".
My bet is that they are creating a GTA clone.
>>343834398
Of course they're not, not yet.
First they need to strategize about how it will have less content and more paid mods so you can get the missing content.
"It's not DLC, it's just mods that Bethesda made that can improve your game for the meager price of 1.99$ per mod. Also modding will only be allowed through steam starting at 0.89$ + VAT per mod, of which Bethesda will take 40%, Steam will take 45% and the modder will get 15% of the mod's price for his/her/xyr hard work. We do this because we want to support the talented modders that bring more content to the game."
>>343834398
>Break the bank in making a new sequel when your MMO turned out to be an inconceivable success and is bringing in money, and all you have to do to appease those faggots is release stale content like one little map or story sequence.
Yeah... nope. They're the smart ones. I'd do the same.
>>343839429
Autism.
the should make the next one like skyrim with guns
>>343840087
>Pfft, this is just autism, Bethesda would never do that... they'z gud boiz
Fuck off Todd
I'm honestly tired of Tamriel and its races. Can we see more of Nirn?
>have hundreds of mods for Skyrim
>spent hundreds of hours getting them to work together
>spent hours modifying .ini files to get the best possible look and performance
>Skyrim: Remaster announced
Ok, so what reasons do I have for doing this all over again?
>>343840359
Why? We haven't even seen all of Tamriel yet. I don't see the need to show off Atmora or Akavir or anything yet.
>>343834398
>>343841118
It means they've recognized that they're reached the pinnacle of what Gamebryo can achieve, but they don't want to get a new engine. So they just won't make games.
>>343834398
If this is true that means there's a higher likelihood of them using a new engine for it.
That's amazing news, you fuck.
I mean...why even release it? there's no way they can compete with Witcher 3 and it's going to constantly be compared to that game so it's smart they're waiting as long as possible.
>>343834398
>we're at least 4 years away from another TES game
>>343834398
Their just going to be doing remasters for the next 5-10 years while publishing 1 or 2 different IPs, Bioshock is getting remastered and i bet next year there'll be another remaster annouced by Bethesda.
>>343834398
Probably working on Fallout 3 remastered because making a new game is too much work
>>343834398
They still haven't finished skyrim m8

>ES:IV may be in the concept/planning/prototyping phase already,

>>343842990
Next time don't fuck up.
>>343843175
Yes my lord. I will not fail you again.
>>343834398
Making remasters for you good goys to blindly buy on name brand alone.
>>343841294
I know you're memeing but what's stopping them from using another engine?
>>343843765
No other engine has as good a support for mods.
>>343844532
Unreal Engine 4
Or how about id Tech? Though I can't imagine how Bethesda could get their hands on that engine...
>>343834398
>"However, can it also be possible that Bethesda is not really working on an "Elder Scrolls VI" game as it will be renamed to "Skyrim 2" instead? After all, it was earlier rumored that it would be the case."
I want to die.
>>343841808
More like 12.
2 years until new IP releases.
4 years after that until second new IP releases.
Then another 4 years until the next TES installment.
This is all based on the fact that, as stated numerous times, Bethesda doesn't work on more than one game at a time and their development cycle is pretty much always about 4 years, and they said they'll unveil their new IP at the next E3.
This is assuming if they're making a new \ "improved" engine then the development time for it will overlap these years, because if it doesn't and they'll make it specifically before developing TES (or any of the other IPs) then you can push it another few years into the future.
My only consolation is that Fallout 4 fucking sucked because Fallout 5 will never come out so I don't have any expectations for it anyway.
>>343842597
>Remastering Oblivion
I think that would take more effort than just slapping a filter on like in Skyrim.
>>343834398
>What the flipping fuck is Bethesda doing then?
They're working on the prototype for cross-platform MMO Fallout Online (Zenimax is, anyway), Starfield (their ES-like space opera RPG epic), and they still have teams on the Skyrim remaster and Fallout 4 DLC. That's a lot of stuff to do at once.
>>343846674
Starfield is a mobile game.
Beth can't work on the next TES until they make a catalog of all the hottest mods to steal for the next game.
Give it some time after the remaster is done and the Skyrim modding scene finally dies down a bit.
>>343835513
Go back to emulating. It's free, requires 0 hardware upgrading ever, and you get to play all the old quality games you used to love.
>>343847237
Please no, most mods are garbage
>>343834398
My only question is: how does Pete Hines still have a job though? All he does is abuse the fans with genuine questions or critiques
>>343848001
How does any lead at Bethesda still have their jobs?
because they keep increasing profits for the board (which consists of people, for example, from Coca Cola), so it's assumed all is well
>>343838027
I do the same thing pretty much.
>over 1700 hours on planetside 2
>>343848452
>has spent over 50 days playing warframe
Hopefully dropping Elder Scrolls altogether because they realized Skyrim was shit
>>343848452
>>343848582
teach me how to enjoy shit games /v/
>>343849335
Step 1: develop interest in the game
Step 2: play the game in your free time
That's it really.
They're free so if I play them and get disappointed I won't lose anything.
>>343834398
It's called lying. Todd said there was no new TES game in the works until it was unveiled.
Then he was all "oops it was in development since 2007 lol"
>>343847465
this
vote with your dollars
>>343841294
>>343843765
>>343844532
Gamebryo doesn't limit what Bethesda can do. Their crappy animations, lack of ladders, often shit art, anything else, that's entirely Bethesda. Gamebryo has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's like blaming your standard piano for bad music. Gamebryo is likewise not responsible for the modding, Bethesda does that too. Gamebryo is essentially a game engine backend, it's just libraries of code that handles the stuff which is standard in any modern engine. Like putting pixels on to the screen, rendering one frame after another, or getting games to work on multiple platforms. Bethesda uses it and makes engine tools themselves. That's what they actually make the game with, it's the Bethesda-made engine tools which *might* limit them. These tools are also what make the games moddable. But seriously, Gamebryo doesn't make Bethesda's content, it doesn't limit it, actually as a collection of modular libraries it's far less restricting than an engine like, say, UE4.
>>343834398
>Morrowind came out in 2002
>Oblivion came out in 2006, 4 years later
>Skyrim came out in 2011, 5 years later
>more than 4 1/2 years later TESVI isn't even in development yet
Fallout was a mistake.
>>343853160
it's quite surprisingly considering how little they get done between games
>>343834398
Fucking hell, I hope this is some marketing trick, Toddler did say that he likes announcing out of the blue
>>343834398
Good, I hope they wait as long as possible. Fallout 4 was complete shit and I hope they learned their lesson.Id be satisfied if VI came out in like 10 years from now and its god tier
>>343839429
>mods that Bethesda made
This is just DLC though. Why would anyone be outraged at this?
It might not be anything worth paying for but it's nothing new or controversial. Nothing like allowing any random dickhead modmaker to put their content behind a paywall.
>>343840359
Things outside of Tamriel are interesting partially because of the missing information on them and the fact we haven't seen them, though. That's true even of locations in Tamriel we haven't seen yet, though.
>>343857174
>10 years from now and its god tier
in that case we will all die of old age before the current plot is resolved, the whole destroying reality thing will take at least 2-3 more titles
>>343858480
After all these years anon, finally. We will become The Elder Scrolls
>>343840359
>let's make a game that has nothing to do with the races of the entire game series we've released over the past 2 decades!
kill yourself
>>343838830
>odd said that his Studio is working on 2 new IPs that will release before TESVI
I'm betting that they're gonna do a remaster of Oblivion & Morrowind.
>>343834398
Hopefully they are waiting until console hardware is no longer so terrible before they begin working on the next game
>>343858973
>Oblivion remaster
You say that like its a bad thing
>>343858792
>giving a shit about "lore"
You're already dead, you pathetic shit
>>343834398
>trusting "ecumenicalnews"
Sounds like you just wanna argue, mate
thanks fallout fags for delaying an actual good series with your SO DEEP post apocalyptic meme machine
>>343840359
Bethesda would absolutely kill the lore. Let modders do it desu
>>343835809
>more time = better content
that's not how it fucking works, faggot. they could work on TES: VI for 22 years straight and we'd still get a game with less customization that Skyrim, less dialogue options than Skyrim and a smaller map than Fo4. fuck off.
They are making a new game engine, fucking obviously
Thats why FO4 was rushed out and Skyrim is getting a new graphics update version, the work on the new engine has brought to light technology they can easily port to the old engine.
>>343834872
>neglect a prime money make
You mean the huge money maker that will be Skyrim mod dollars?
They've already dropped F4, and they don't give a shit if people sperg about paid mods for Skyrim remaster because everyone's already bought it
>>343835848
The Witcher series is not in competition with TES. TES is AAAA tier in comparison to that minor crap.
>>343860073
the only reason TES has any traction is because of modding and the customizable player character
when CPR comes back to this after their scifi game it'll spell death for bethesda (see them saying "goodbye" to gerald, but not the universe)
>>343860317
Pfthahahha. No.
CDPR are a spec of sand in comparison to Bethesda. Period.
>>343847171
>Starfield is a mobile game.
it isnt, though
>>343860317
>the only reason TES has any traction is because of modding and the customizable player character
And its lore, and huge fanbase, and marketing that was 10x bigger than Witcher, and the fact even its shit gameplay is better than Witcher.
The witcher series is objectively worse than Skyrim, it only sold because people got bored of Skyrim and wanted something that looked like it.
>>343834398
Dude they confirmed 3 new ips were in development as we type. I honesty dont expect a new elder scrolls until at least 2019.
>>343862764
I can't wait to discover what happened to our hero Dovahkiin in Elder Scrolls: Legends!
Skyrim rules!
>>343863471
Todd pls. Theyre completely new and have nothing to do with ES, Fallout or anything theyve put out.
i hope one is rage 2
>>343862764
They're waiting till everyone forgets how shitty Skyrim was. The same thing they did with Fallout 4.
>>343864340
I seriously hope thats the plan Im fucking tired of lacking sequels. Dishonored 2 is literally the only sequel worth looking forward to. Prey could've taken over E3 but I guess they thought making a completely different game and whoring out the name is a good idea.
>>343859281
Modders are terrible at lore though.
>>343834398
they are making skyrim 2
Building a new engine?
>>343862764
>I honesty dont expect a new elder scrolls until at least 2019.
2019 is less than 3 years away from us.
>>343865564
hopefully, I want the next TES title to actually be stable
>>343860491
Lol
>>343860491
Wew lad little hot under the collar aren't you?Stop replying to bait faggot
>>343860481
Pretty sure I read something about the trademark having to do with mobile games.
Honestly though I wouldn't mind someone else kicking Bioware's ass in the space opera department whether it's Bethesda, CDPR, Obsidian, or whoever. We need less focus on fantasy shit.
I want to cleave some Bosmer skulls, damn it.
>>343867138
bosmer and khajiit are practically the same shit though
>>343859537
>Fallout 4 will have paid mods guys really
>I mean Skyrim Remastered

there are plenty of other things to be mad at bethesda about
>>343867290
>all women gorgeous
>look like ayy lmaos in a bad way ingame
What did Michael "Hack" Kirkbride mean by this?
Didnt their lead concept artist die?
I bet that put the series on hold
>>343868012
that he cant draw for shit probably, then again, he isnt a concept artist, those are really good at bethesda
>>343868012
>>343868796
oh wait, you wrote IN GAME, well maybe they are gorgeous by mer standards, I actually like the fact that the elves are so alien looking in the TES universe, its much better then the usual depiction of elves as just tall, slender humans with pointy ears
>>343834398
Likely a new IP
>>343834513
Shortly after Fallout 4 released they put in a hiring notice for programmers and artists for a "cutting edge RPG"
As far as TES VI goes, Todd has the idea in his head but he claims the technology isn't there yet to do what he wants, between console hardware and engine software.
My guess is Valenwood, because it's a dense jungle with a lot of underbrush, and has a walking tree city.
Consoles wouldn't be able to handle it and neither would their engine.
>>343838830
I'm thinking a futuristic sci fi open worldsRPG
HOPEFULLY WORKING ON A NEW GODDAMN GAME ENGINE
>>343834398
of course they're working on it, but dev time is so high now and they got other TES products to sell us.
no one wants to announce the next Last Guardian, FFXV, LoZ Wii or Cyberpunk, no one is going announce a game that doesn't come before the end of the fiscal year again.
>>343858973
Would remasters count as "new IP"?
>>343870395
of course not
>>343840714
> now I can delete my skyrim and start all over again in a while
Yay...?
>>343840714
its supposedly x64 and dx11, which should make it much more stable, IF people actually bother porting their mods over
