How far off is "a long way off". They should the teaser 7 years ago. The same they released the Starfield announcement teaser.

>>725465348 (OP)
It's still in preproduction. You're not going to play it this decade

They got scared after everyone hated starfield

>>725465348 (OP)
We are never seeing this shit. We're likely to get a revival of the fucking Ice Climbers before Elder Scrolls 6 comes out

They need more time to implement boring procedural main quests

90% of the game will be AI sloppa. including all the dialogue, characters, and quests. everything will also break ten times more often than most bethesdaslop.

>>725465348 (OP)
He's a coward for not making Starfield after TES VI because he knew it wouldn't get attention, and it didn't anyway

They probably had to scrap everything after the Starfield fiasco

Time for Skyrim UE5

>>725465348 (OP)
it means the tech is not there yet, they are probably waiting for the next consoles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0lNZh734JM
why hurry when no one else dare to make a skyrim clone?

I can guess that TES6 will be on the next gen consoles. PC will require 70XX cards to play it on ultra. Just wait for it.

Why do these threads get replies when they're riddled with grammar errors?
This really is an indian occupied board isn't it?

>the tech

>>725465880
Literally nobody asked for anything that isn't a single player TES or Fallout game. Todd gave us 76 and Starfield instead of games that everyone asked for.

TES6 will need to be gangbuster for the whole industry to forgive them. Tomorrow will mark 14 years since Skyrims launch.

>>725465348 (OP)
I am twice as old as I was when this game came out.

>>725465348 (OP)
TES6 is going to be unbelievably shit
Morrowind was a fluke
Daggerfall is more bugs than game
Oblivion is better than Skyrim because the towns and soundtrack are better
Mods are all bad
The only reason Skyrim was the most successful one is because it had the most marketing behind it. Everything else is irrelevant

>>725465626
Good. Maybe don't make a shit game next time.

>>725465348 (OP)
It's only had 2 measly years of production. At this rate, 2028 is the earliest to expect.
On that note, get ready for:
>procgen deserts and forests to fill out the emptiness of the Hammerfell + High Rock map
>coupled with AI-POWERED™ RADIANT™ QUESTS™
>laughable scale in any and all 'towns'
>linear A to B dungeons
>ugly, outdated graphics for its time, while also being overly demanding for its time
>utterly Soule™-less music, ranging from generic trailer style OST to arabic yikyakking that will probably be inspired by the Villeneuve Dune OST
>beast races will still be human dolls with human animations, just with different heads
>lore will be further condensed and laid aside so the dad-gamers can keep up with the melodrama
>not one but TWO mechanics to riff off of the FO4 settlement building and Starfield ship-building, just this time with a pirate ship and 1 (one) colony e.g Raven Rock
>about five guys voicing the entire boasted 6 gorillion NPCs and all their 6 gorillion dialogues, and then a couple of celebrities to do less than 20 lines for one character

>>725466342
Your first day on teh internets? Americans in general type like shit since forever. Brownoids live rent free in your head dude.

>>725465348 (OP)
You just know this game is going to fucking suck, the only reason it will sell is due to Skyrim's long lasting legacy that all normies ate up. Todd is worried they're going to make shit, and they will.

Hopefully it's forever way off.

>>725466601
>>utterly Soule™-less music, ranging from generic trailer style OST to arabic yikyakking that will probably be inspired by the Villeneuve Dune OST
this will be the biggest hit, I think. I can't even listen to the score and imagine I'm playing a better game, unlike Skyrim.

>>725465626
They probably did start over lol

>they wasted all that time giving us Starfield
>a game no one liked and modders don't give a fuck about it
Th-thanks Todd..

>>725466879
TES4 ost struck to me unlike TES5 but perhaps because TES4 was my first real open world game. TES5 setting wasn't as fun to explore compared to TES4 imo.

>>725467048
>Without a friend? Not so fast.

Reminder that only about 100 people made Skyrim and that game is still considered one of the best western RPGs ever made despite its flaws, and still has a huge modding scene.

>>725465348 (OP)
the fact of the matter is that uncs who played skyrim on release are NOT the target audience for tes 6

>>725467301
>RPGs
bethesda makes those?

Didn't a small gameplay clip get leaked here earlier this year? It honestly looked pretty damn real

>>725467048
>degenerate isometric crpg with garbage gameplay nobody ever post in your path

Dragon Age Origins mixed with Fallout NV systems would make a better game and now add real time combat with very few Souls mechanics.

>>725467117
We'll see, like the poster said below you, not even modders fucked with Starfield, that game is such a husk it's incredible there hasn't been more videos calling it for what it is.

>>725465348 (OP)
We have known since forever that they work on one game at a time. They showed the trailer in 2018 to juice share price for a buyout and reassure fans that the franchise hadn't been abandoned but they literally hadn't done dick by that point and weren't planning to. Starfield released in the second-half of 2023 which means a 4-year cycle would still put the game in late 2027 and more likely 2028 since a franchise of this status is certainly going to get the extended development treatment.

>>725467234
Based. Both their next games are going to BTFO TES6 badly, I fear.

>>725467408
it was an indian's recording of a Sora AI video on his desktop

>>725465348 (OP)
After such a long time I finally understand TES6 has taken this long simply because Bethesda doesn't actually want to make it

>>725467442
>Dragon Age Origins mixed with Fallout NV systems
Woah. Faggots mixed with queers

Internal Microsoft memo shows they are targeting 2035 right now for elder scrolls 6.

But to be fair that road map also has fallout 5 and fallout 6 BEFORE elder scrolls 6. So it was probably dreamed up by some delusional C suite executive at Microsoft.

What an inept company holy shit.

>>725467585
You're mistaken, the lgbbq++ appeared with ME3 then Inquisition. Origins is a crpg that was also on consoles.
Origins and NV have consequences to your choices. There's also the original Deus Ex which is a bit older.

>>725465626
I'm still mad I trusted Todd about his "dream game"

Two things are likely the case
>TES6 was so incredibly bad that Microsoft execs said fuck that and made them go back to the drawing board
>Bethesda literally didn't make anything besides the teaser because they knew regardless of what they had finished the IP alone was worth the hassle for any company to buy.

That's unfortunate for fans of TES, but at least Fallout fans and Starfield fans can have some fun during the wait (even though Starfield fans are starved for content updates directly from Bethesda). Plus, TES fans have the Oblivion Remaster, Skyblivion is still in the works, and the original Skyrim is still alive and well with the mods

>>725465348 (OP)

If you had said in 2011 that TES6 still wouldn't be out 14 years later, no one in this world would have believed you. This industry is a joke.

I'll give Bethesda points for showing restraint. Not much but it is something however that goodwill is immediately squandered by FO76 and Starfield.

>>725467897

>>725468028
In those 7 years all their resources were tied up with Starfield and Fallout 76. Its legitimately not that crazy to imagine they just depriortized it especially since Skyrim and its re-releases did gangbusters. Zenimax and Bethesda did this last second push because they were trying to juice their portfolios value before selling off the company to microsoft.

The Microsoft buyout was the worst thing that ever happened to Bethesda. Imagine becoming completely free of the consequences of your success or failures, allowing you to do whatever because now you have infinite money from daddy who'll keep you afloat

>>725466601
i mean honestly the games get worse every iteration. for any one thing that might be an improvement over the prior one, much more is lost in its place. even by Oblivion the series was an imitation of itself, albeit a good impression. there's no reason to think after their shitty Fallout games, Skyrim milking, and complete shitshow of Starfield, that they have learned or anything or will actually push any facet of their game to be more than just okay. their ambitions have been set so low for way too long.

>>725466938
they never started, todd said back then that TES6 would start development only after starfield

>>725468068
Fallout 76 has come a long fucking way thougheverbeit. It's unironically a far better game than Fallout 4, even if played solely as a single player experience (always online]

>>725468016

Claiming your fellow retarded americans are indians and at the same time jumping to suck their cock is insane mental gymnstics.

>>725465348 (OP)
There's no Jeremy Soule making the soundtrack so I wont even purchase this dogshit based off that injustice alone. No Soule putting SOVL in the soundtrack since Daggerfall= money not stolen.

>>725468276
Why did they even let that happen? Bethesda didn't even need Zenimax at this point. They could be fully self sufficient and independent like Valve. Same with Rockstar. Why do these developers even have parent companies when they don't need those corporate suits to print money?

>>725468287
they were in pre-production at the very least, as tech being demoed for it was shown off in bits and pieces. most notably that one granny youtuber that got to scan herself and be put into the game eventually.
I sincerely doubt it hasn't gone back to the drawing board at least a few times, though. starfield got barraged by criticism from all parties, so whatever they were hoping to learn from that mess probably didn't pan out how they preferred.

>>725468397
>canceled for essentially literally nothing
Tired of this horseshit. Liberals love destroying art.

>>725468325
what the fuck are you talking about browncel

>>725468276
This but unironically. Morrowind was made when they were on the verge of bankruptcy so they went all out, they need to feel the fire under their ass to make something that's not slop.

>>725468276
Nah, it's probably a good thing. When they were independent Fallout/Elder Scrolls were pretty much holding all of Zenimax afloat so they were pressured to release earlier than they would have liked.

>>725465626
This is a good thing.

>>725468470
>They could be fully self sufficient and independent like Valve.
Not a chance. They don't move enough product for that. As big as these games are, you would be shocked to find that it takes significantly more than that to stay afloat. You need consistent new releases. And I'm only saying this because Valve and CDPR have the benefit of running just from their marketplaces. Bethesda does not have this luxury.

Post the full quote you coward
>Todd Howard wants you to know something straight off the bat: The Elder Scrolls 6 is “still a long way off”. The game’s director is sitting in his home office, in Rockville, Maryland, flanked by shelves decorated with game and movie memorabilia. “I’m preaching patience,” he tells me. “I don’t want fans to feel anxious.”

>>725468470
Greed and Arrogance. Sometimes the people in charge want to be boughtout from their lifes work so they can retire into the sunset or get a fat payout and still have a job. If I offered you 300 million for your company tommorow, a six figure salary and deep pockets to make any game you want would you take that deal? The reality is most people will always take that deal.

>>725465348 (OP)
>GTAVI announced and, albeit pushed back, releasing next year
Good luck to competitors trying to launch anything right before or right after. bet we won't be seeing Skyrim 2 till 2028 at the very least

>>725465348 (OP)
The game didn't start development until starfield released, so at current pacing, it's probably like 5 years from release.

>>725468549
The stupid bitch was proven a liar and SHIThesda was too fucking arrogant to retract their judgement and re-hire Jeremy, I will NEVER purchase anything SHITthesda related for what they did to the composer that put the audiotory SOVL in their game.

>>725468678
The odds of Todd's senior ass fucking dying before this game's release are getting higher, he doesn't give a fuck

>>725468489
It's 3 years off because BGS takes 4-5 years to make. It's been 2 years in production now. Starfield was quietly killed internally, there's no fanbase remaining.

It was probably almost done but they had to redo the game when they realized they wouldn't be able to fool us with another procgen, useless base building fest like Starfield.

>>725468840
You joke but it's very likely some of the reasons Starfield exists was to build and test the tech they planned to use in TES6.

>>725468656
Bethesda also doesn't have a storefront or a MMO that was raking in large amounts of cash
>inb4 FO76
Yes I'm aware of its existence but the game was made literally right before its buyout and its clear it was a multiplayer assetflip to put more Microtransactions on the books to look sexy towards investors. They didn't have a long term MMO plan like Destiny, WoW or any other MMO community that organically came to be.

>>725468814
Bruh

>>725466601
they probably will use the generation shit for seafaring and random islands

See Skyrim Hearthfire DLC being a selling point for Fallout 4. They follow a certain pattern and some trends.

>>725468982
Those are terrible numbers for a recent Bethesda game. Stop fooling yourself nobody gives a shit about Saarfield and the only reason Bethesda games have such long half lifes is because of the mod community. Modders didn't even bother with Starfield.

i think soule had some other allegations going way back

I will buy TES6 despite Starfield not meeting expectations and people calling me a Bethesdrone and/or Todd himself & telling me it'll be bad "like 76 & Starfield was". I don't care and I'd rather waste & lose my money on my own terms rather than listen to /v/'s opinions and follow their gospel like some NPC.

>>725469316
i would rather be an NPC among like minds than a slavepuppet to an entertainment company

>>725469316
It will be worth it just for the mods. TES is like the last real modding culture series still going.

>>725467847
He's told sweet little lies for a long time, the silly halfling..

>>725468489
>they were in pre-production at the very least, as tech being demoed for it was shown off in bits and pieces
All of the preproduction for TES6 is either engine enhancements that were already implemented in Starfield or conceptual documentation. We know how their development pipeline works, none of their asset artists would have been working on TES6 until most of the work was completed on Starfield and the bulk of the team did not transition over until the first year of Starfield post-launch content wrapped up.
>starfield got barraged by criticism from all parties, so whatever they were hoping to learn from that mess probably didn't pan out how they preferred
The lesson I learned and what I hoped Bethesda learned is that casuals just fucking hate space games. Most of the stated criticisms were addressed in Shattered Space and people just hated that even more. And then Oblivion Remastered comes out with an overworld that feels more procedurally generated than a Starfield planet and people love it. What am I supposed to take away from that?

Well what I see and I hope Bethesda sees is that RPG players are fantasy plebs and if you're going to make a space game, you pretty much have to design it for the space engineer nerds. They tried to casualize the survival sim elements down for a broader RPG audience that was never going to be interested in the game in the first place. My guess is the next Starfield DLC pivots hard towards content centered around spaceships.

>>725465983
They didn't even start until after starfield, the teaser was just to up their price before the buyout.

Todd Howard is the George RR Martin of Videogames

and a bit of Vince Gilligan

>>725469316
There's still hope for TES6 but if it's a catastrophe, it's over for Todd. 76 and Starfield were genuinely terrible and were full of controversy.

I just hope no one looking forward to it or working on it dies before it releases desu
it could be a great catharsis whatever it winds up being

>>725469316
I don't fault anyone for wanting to try TES6 but I will fault them for having expectations at this point.

>>725468170
I would rather suffocate to death than swallow shit.

>>725469676
Todd is an old fart who's going to retire anyway, if it fails he'll just be remembered for being the guy who lied a lot and sold Skyrim twenty times

>>725465348 (OP)
Forget this game ever coming out

>>725468814
>Starfield was quietly killed internally, there's no fanbase remaining.
Why do people say this when they literally teased the upcoming DLC for Starfield and it's literally the best selling game this generation.

>>725469987
Now imagine if Emil replace Todd, you can say goodbye to what remains of the soul from these games.

>>725466468
>Oblivion is better than Skyrim because the towns

lol

>>725468935
>Bethesda also doesn't have a storefront
It did have one though. They just didn't force it upon people (with FO76, and FO:S (at least initially) being the exception) like companies like Ubisoft did.

I was 17 when skyrim first came out. I can't believe it's taking this long for a new ES

>>725470234
even if they had, it would never compare to Steam or GOG. not even in the same ballpark.

>>725470096
>best selling
It only matters for corpos. The playerbase is needed to keep a game relevant regardless of 6 gorillon sales after a few months.

I can't believe people still argue this shit after how many decades now?

>>725468982
Starfield is proof that making games with passion matters a lot because that's an insane playerbase for a single player game that's 2 years old.

>>725470096
>DLC
I mean if they can asset flip and get some more money off idiots why not
>Best selling game this generation
I see all sorts of numbers thrown around with how much Bethesda made but the fact is nobody is playing it. Bethesda ruined their credibility attaching their name to this terrible product. There's no mod community, no hype, no nothing around Starfield. Anyone who bought it was apparently sufficiently disappointed and never played it again

>>725470394
sales don't matter only how much money corpos stuff in your company and if it fails you just promise them your next project will totally surely be jackpot

>>725470202
They are. Oblivion towns feel lived in way more than Skyrim's
Being able to actually have dialogue with every NPC also helps a lot

>>725470394
Starfield has an active playerbase and it's getting more DLC for the next 5 years. It's gonna sell a lot more when they release the eventual PS5/Switch 2 ports.

>>725470234
I guess I meant like GOG, Epic and Steam but yes this is technically a storefront.

If ES6 will have AI and proc gen up the ass might as well get hyped for this instead
Can't be worse and it'll probably come out sooner

>>725470469
Scifi is inherently less popular than fantasy, even if you look at novel genre sales. Starfield is doing fine for scifi fans but it's clear after Oblivion remastered selling so crazy well this year that people are hungry for more fantasy games.

>>725470540
Learn what per capita is. Your own game you are shilling saar also has the lowest rated review out of all of those games. One of which is Final Fantasy 16 holy FUCK

Isn't TES supposed to be their flagship franchise? It feels like their doing everything they can NOT to work on the series.

>>725470705
cry harder your shit eating jeet, shouldnt you be embarrassed over that poop throwing video

>>725470764
it's really strange considering skyrim is one of the best selling vidyas of all time. I don't know why they're so allergic to making a sequel

>>725470705
and it also the most reviews. starfield winning anyway you look at it

I just don't get what's taking so long. I'm not trying to dunning Krugerly criticize something I cannot do professionally, but the whole situation really makes no sense. Companies used to pump these games out in a few years. Bethesda is bigger than ever, infinite budgets, thousands of employees. Doesn't that mean it should get done faster? The incentive structures only point one way. ES6 would print infinite money. Nothing make any sense. 20 years is an irrational amount of time to wait for a fucking video game. Does ES6 even exist? Is Bethesda just a money laundering front? I must assume the project is moving so slowly(how!) that the company has scrapped it entirely and restarted production due to the changing culture/market and now they're stuck in an infinite indecision feedback loop and ES6 is never coming out. It's the only thing that makes sense logically.

>>725470764
Todd wanted to have Fallout and then he wanted to make his shitty passion project
If any version of ES6 was ever in production after Skyrim we'll probably never see any leak

>>725470506

You haven't played either games have you?

>>725470540
All these games are a one and done deal and 7k was last year. Lesser now.
Dragons Dogma 2 had less hype than a BGS game and hit 350k to dwindle into nothingness like Starfield.

A DLC for Hello Kitty would sell more than anything for Starfield, that's how bad the fanbase was burned.

>>725470764
Bethesda's problem is that they're about 200 people at their core and they really really believe that they can handle Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Starfield on rotation by themselves and they're too proud of their work to hand it off to others. At the end of the day they havent done the proper work into splitting themselves into multiple dev teams that work on multiple games at once. So their dev cycle involves working on one game at a time so we can clearly see that they've been working on Fallout 76 until 2019, then moved to Starfield which released in 2023 and now they're busy working on Elder Scrolls VI. We're a few years away from seeing their next game and at least 7-8 years away from seeing Fallout 5.

>>725471074
I played the entire (mainline) series

>>725465348 (OP)
I don't care about elder scrolls 6. I'm way more excited about fan projects like Tamriel Rebuilt and Project Tamriel. Hell, I'm more excited about Skyblivion than shitass TES6.

>>725470919
What I don't understand is how there has been no leak whatsoever of any version
Surely some devs are getting frustrated too

>>725470919
>Bethesda is bigger than ever, infinite budgets, thousands of employees.

Bethesda is literally indie tier sized compared to other AAA developers. They're at around 300 people now and half of them is working on elder scrolls and the other half is on starfield DLC and Fallout 76.

>>725466468
Skyrim is still a better game than 90% of the games that come out today. 2007-2011 was peak gaming and Skyrim is the clear end before big corpo CEO's finally twitched.

>>725471225
there's no leak because bethesda hasn't worked jack shit on TES6

>>725471264
fallout 76 is still a thing?

>>725470919
What they want you to think:
>TES6 will be so much more advanced in scale, graphics and mechanics that it had to take extra time! It will be their magnum opus!
What's actually happening:
>PR disaster after PR disaster, announce TES6 in a panic to appease the masses
>not even 5% of the way through pre-production
>Starfield is relegated as the ugly red-headed stepchild to test and spitball ideas and mechanics
>it sucks, but gets finished, with the B-team stuck on Fallout 76 corpse maintenance
>preproduction has started and finished in this time, and the game has been in full production since 2023
>given their typical 4-5 year dev cycle, TES6 will release in 2028 if not a little later due to having to overhaul the engine AGAIN
>it will be just okay

>>725471074
He's right. TES4 radiant AI is better and the schedules are more varied compared to TES5. Fallout 4 barely have any and it was completely removed in Starfield.

Going from TES3 static NPCs to TES4 was a drastic change.

>>725465348 (OP)
They can delay it all they want, it's going to be ass anyways. All of the actual talent has left Bethesda long ago.

>>725470764
Well Skyrim had incredible staying power as they kept porting it to new systems and the money kept pouring in. A similar situation to GTA5. So the decision was made to just keep milking that cow and work on other stuff that wouldn't effect Skyrim sales.

>>725471330
It makes enough money that they keep announcing a new DLC every year at the Xbox game show. Also Elder scrolls online is the most profitable MMO of all time too. With Oblivion remastered being in the top 10 best selling games of the year and Fallout 3 remastered coming out next year, Bethesda really has no worries and can spend their sweet time working on their game.

You niggers bitch and whine and moan about how awful each new Todd game is, constantly whinge about how awful and casualized Skyrim is for literal years on end and how the series has gone to complete and utter shit and then turn around and "YESSIR MASSAH, GIBS ME MORE O' DAT PWEEBSE!

That's still a lot of people to do nothing for 15 years man. It's like they hate money. Eventually the threshold will pass and the opportunity will be gone. Also Microsoft can't help them? Seems like they have plenty of avenues to aquire labor, especially when developing a product that will make infinite money.

How do you know Todd's dream game wasn't a game that sucked dick?

>Elder scrolls 6 still runs on gamebryo
Calling it now and don't give me that "it's totally a new engine" when 1 minute of gameplay proves otherwise like with skyrim

Literally the only reason this was announced was so they could get a buyer for Zenimax and to shut everyone up about Fallout 76

Until Todd Howard leaves bethesda, they're going to only keep working on one game at a time. Fallout 5 in 2033 when the tv show is already over.

I'll never forget the 3 week period /v/ unironically praised Skyrim at launch but the moment "le arrow" caught on outside the 4chan bubble, people turned on it. Bethesda and Game Freak have a lot in common, both make really bad games that are loved but the majority of people but shat on but a loud minority. Bethesda is at the point they can shit on a plate and people will love it.
>Muh overwhelming negative steam page

There's a type of gamer that sees Skyrim in the store for $15 on current console stotr and they gotta have it. They might just do a couple quests in Whiterun and then drop the game but they must have Skyrim on every new console they get.

Name one modern RPG on par with Skyrim.

Last time i played TES4 is in 2008. Voice acting shenanigans =/= how advanced radiant AI was compared to future titles

Bethesda is the western gamefreak is such an apt description because their games sell insanely well while the dev team are all 50 year old out of touch gen Xers who no longer care to use the latest technology in making their games because they're too old to learn anything new.

Not him but the way cells work is why it's better. Most other engines can't keep props in the memory and items are gone into the void.

Things spawn in an adjacent cell and still roam around the world when you're not in that cell anymore.

>>725472380
I'm already over 30. I might be closer to 40 than 30 by the time it finally releases

It was going to be in Hammerfell when US Afro-fetishism was at an all time high, like how they decided Yusuke would be the MC of Assassins Creed, but feelings have simmered and now even shifted in the other direction and while many YouTubers and stuff still worship the Redguards it will probably be shuffled around to be somewhere more marketable, like High Rock.

Just ship the engine with bare bones assets and let modders handle the rest lmao

>>725472860

Sinners movie was a massive success.
Afro centrism is still popular
AC:Shadows sold pretty well despite it triggering you.

Regardless, high rock is a superior setting vs a fucking desert and some sea sailing. High Rock is more diverse like Cyrodiil. Hammerfell is Skyrim with sand.

>>725467048
>divinity shit with a TES skin
no.

It's better than ship of theuseus'd other developers like Blizzard where all the people that worked on the original greats are all gone and it's not even the same company anymore except in name.

Good thing Hammerfell isn't supposed to be Africa

How do you become a ES Lore Master? Outside of the games are there books and shit to read up on?

You shouldn't be waiting for a release date.

Yes, ES6 is real; it is in active production. This is public information, it transitioned from pre-production like two years ago. But the wait is not because of the scale of the game, or internal issues, or because of Starfield, or whatever. It's very, very simply.
>Bethesda finally reaches "uh oh" territory financially
>Hey guys...Elder Scrolls 6!

Similarly to the Oblivion Remaster, its a project they've had ready for ages which gets the go ahead to start preparing for an actual release date once things get dicey. Oblivion Remastered came and went like a fart in the wind-but also massively improved Bethesda's situation, and reputation (for most people-remember, if you meet them with mistrust and cynicism immediately you are in the correct but firm minority).

It won't come anytime soon. They make money off most of their existing "new" games. They are saving it for a rainy day. It's as simple as that.

And you'll be playing it on day 1. You know it. I know it. Most importantly, Bethesda knows it.

>>725467048
I'm never playing another turn-based party real-time with pause diceroll game ever again and you fucking SCUM will never convince me to do otherwise.

Does that mean there’s a chance we’ll see the epic fanfic Skyrim the Journey of a hero finished before TES VI comes out? I hope so! Come on Jack Russel you still have time to finish your masterpiece!

>>725473859
They needed to be humbled and FO76 back to back with Starfield did a good job. You really wish they just shat out a half-assed Skyrim 2 in the interim? At least now there's some sliver of a chance more that it could be worthwhile. Like a guy said earlier, they only do well when they're in the hot seat and those last two games were bred from their indulgence.

>>725465348 (OP)
Cool story todd
What does Microsoft have to say about that?

People complain about Bethesda a lot, but they're still the only one who makes their style of game. Even FO4 and Starfield were enjoyable enough for 80-100 hours each.
Skyrim was insanely popular and other studios had every reason to try to copy it, they had more than a decade to try and they never pulled it off. KCD got close but that's it.

testgeek

>>725465348 (OP)
It's a dead franchise. There has been no release in the series since an MMO over a decade ago. That is a dead series. By definition TES is a defunct IP

>>725465348 (OP)
Use basic logic and reason.
Starfield came out in 2023 after a 5 year production.
TES6 started full production after Starfield and will also likely take at least 5 years to develop.

Therefore, TES6 will likely release in late 2028.

>>725465754
We'll get a Dark Souls remake before ES6

>>725474232
GTA must also be a dead franchise according to you.

Vague ass statement. He could be bullshitting, it could mean it's 1 year until release, it could mean it's 12 years away from release.

>>725474489
It is

Where do they even get their money from? The mmos?

>>725465348 (OP)
There is 0 chance of The Elder Scrolls VI being good because it takes place in Hammerfell and Hammerfell is full of Redguards and Redguards are niggers.

We know Fallout 3 remake is coming out next year when it was leaked at the same time as oblivion remake and they'll start porting more games to the switch 2. So yeah, they make a lot of money.

>>725472951

Why the fuck would anyone willingly travel to this 10th circle of hell? I guess bringing awareness to the fact that jeets are truly the enemy of humanity is a good thing but even still I would never consider it. You could pay me no amount of money to ever set one foot into indian territory.

>>725474816
FO3 is gonna be a litmus test for me of modern day Bethesda. There were a lot of sexy female armors in FO3. Several of the raider armors were barely covered up. If they are all "updated for modern audiences", I'm out. Not even going bother with TESVI: Niggerfell since I'm already not hyped to play in some moorish shithole.

>>725471094
>they're too proud of their work to hand it off to others.
MS isn't too proud, they're eventually going to force the issue. MS is a multi-platform publisher now, they have to have a constant stream of content to make money. All it's going to take is a hard ass businessman to come in after Phil leaves/gets fired and you'll see IPs get handed out to other studios like candy.

>>725475535
Fallout 3 is being worked on by Virtuous who's chinese and Oblivion remake didnt ruin the sexy female armor. I'm sure it'll be fine.

>>725475524
It's good. Just 10 years ago, Indians were looked at as some sort of holy spiritual people. Let the public know about the jeet menace. That guy is the hero we needed, but not the one we deserve.

>>725475629
Them forcing the issue is pushing Bethesda to hand their old games to other game developers in china to remake.

>>725475774
For now.

Unironically 2-3 years atleast.

There are still people on this planet who haven't bought at least six editions of Skyrim, Todd still has a job to do

>>725471796
Honestly, I'd rather have that than UE5.

>>725466439
Not even. All they have to do is make a game exactly like skyrim mechanically using the same engine and graphics as skyrim. They could have it out in 8 months. But no, enough is not enough. We must spend a decade reinventing the wheel for EVERY iteration so they can tack on meaningless technical spectacle that will be dated on release day. It's as if every painting required inventing new pigments. Real clown world shit. I can't believe we let these mouth breathers control our entertainment, much less our aspirational myths and heroes.

>>725465348 (OP)
Microsoft really needs to gut their IPs and license them out to other devs so some good games can be made

>source: GQ
What?

How many of you even care about vanilla TES games? I know a bunch of you retards don't mod or have only installed less than a hundred mods.

I imagine people who play heavily modded lists with 100s to 1000s of mods will not care at all about new Bethesda games until they get a bunch of mods. Similar to people who only play Paradox games with total conversion mods. There's a large diaconnect between people who play these games around launch and mainly vanilla and people who play these games years later with modlists/modpacks.

>>725471225
>What I don't understand is how there has been no leak whatsoever of any version
because they havent even started working on it

>>725469564
Anon. Starfield just fucking sucked

>>725465348 (OP)
>But they showed the trailer off! that means that they must have had a huge team working on it this whole time!
They only showed that trailer as damage control, self aware that some people weren't going to like the multiplayer focus of fallout 76 and the rumors that's Bethesda was going to abandon TES to the MMO mines.

That's shit probably only started getting really development this year as much of the team is still working on Starfield DLC. Tes6 won't be until MAYBE 2030.

I'm honestly fine with it taking a long time because it's going to run like shit on modern hardware if Starfield is anything to go by. Hopefully a RTX 7700 will be able to run it fine when it finally comes out.

>>725465348 (OP)
they should update the engine first. it will take time but they better do it or else.

Damn bro that'skek sad af.

>>725477827
That doesn't mean they enjoy it. Since if they did they would play vanilla or just install content mods, like with Morrowind. But unlike Morrowind modding, pretty much every Skyrim modder is focused on completely overhauling the game to play completely differently. Whether that be to be more of a RPG or more of a action game.

>>725475645
the french studio of virtuous worked on the oblivion remake
no doubt they'll be doing the remake for fallout 3 too

>>725471846

>spawn down on the planets to do dungeons on proc gen planets

>>725479552
>better gwaphix, better music, better world design, better combat

Lol, lmao. They literally removed any sense of impact from hitting your enemies in Skyrim, you can't even send people flying with a warhammer strong attack anymore. It feels like you're hitting air in Skyrim. Oblivion's music is amazing and super comfy as are the watercolor graphics. I'll give you more unique dungeons in the world, but too bad they also made all of them a single linear corridor that loops back around to the entrance. So in the end they're boring anyway.

Skyrim is fine, the world is nice to run around in, but it's absolutely a downgrade and the very last time I can call a Bethesda game good.

>>725479552
SkySHIT is for 0 attention span ADHD brain rotted zoomers
It’s a game easily accessible to women, browns, minorities, Zoomers, downies, retards and all the other genetic trash of man
Something that streamlined, accessible, dumbed down and casualised that literal women play and enjoy it means you are mentally stunted and retarded
It’s not an RPG, it’s a baby’s first action game where you don’t have to think about a single stat or anything if you don’t want to and go through the ENTIRE game with the starting Stormcloak tutorial armour and an iron sword all the way to the end, because it’s a baby’s action game for women and women-brained zoomers
It’s the most dumbed down, casualised piece of shit that was the death of the video game industry in 2011, and no good game like Gothic, Deus Ex or Morrowind will ever be produced again because zoomers proved they are mentally retarded vaccinated cattle who need quick travel, pointing arrows, quest markers, and 1 line quip text

I'm honestly starting to believe devs hate releasing games. As long as they are working on something they can hold dev studio hostage but as soon as they release their flop they get the guillotine. I think most of them just want to grab a paycheck and go home. They don't give a fuck about actually making something good anymore.

Skyrim is complete garbage. It was shit when it released and it's shit now.

This but unironically.

Why the fuck would you release a game if they are gonna fire your ass once you do?
