Even though it is going to be 6 years since Fallout 3 and 3 years since Skyrim i think next year we will get a reveal.

So E3 then? I joke but some devs really like to keep things a secret for as long as possible even if it means to outright deny certain truths.
That's not how I understand it. He's actually saying that whatever their next game is, they're not ready to talk about it.

C'mooooon guys. No, I kid. I'm all for them taking as much time as they need. Just wish it was sooner for my own selfish ends...
So wtf are they going to talk about then? That's all they got
Uh, Bethesda publishes stuff too y'know.
About the memo, why would they not want to reference "Elder Scrolls" when the Elder Scrolls online just came out last month, and has a console release scheduled in a few months as well?

Not (fake?). Fake.

That would make me so happy to hear. Gamebryo looks like the stiff, floaty animated, effects lacking, disjointed, flat old school PC engine principles. It just looks like it's being dragged into pretty so slow. Like mo cap and some particle effects would kill them.
I hope Fallout 4 gets announced no later than VGA/VGX like Skyrim was.

can't believe people still blame gamebryo for bethesda's extreme incompetence. you're not talking about gamebryo you're talking about bethesda 3d artists and bethesda technology

They're not talking about their NEXT game, but they are going to talk about the CURRENT game they're working on.
Right guys?

Thing about Hines is, he quite often bends the truth.
Well, not Gamebryo itself, but Bethesda's engine which is based on Gamebryo.

This thread is regarding Bethesda Game Studios. Sadly, the publisher of the Bethesda name is their parent and frequently capitalizes on the developers reputation earned from Fallout and The Elder Scrolls to boost things like Brink and the public often doesn't catch the difference because of poorly worded news articles. The game developer has consistently struck gold. The other projects from the publisher rather, have not found success to any similar degree.

Can E3 be considered a long time?
I was just answering Wanny's question "So wtf are they going to talk about then?" Beth the publisher is going to be present at E3; they'll have other games to talk about.
I don't think there are many people on NeoGAF who think that Bethesda Game Studios is responsible for creating all of the games published under the Bethesda label.

I call fake, simply because of how poorly written the memo is. To me it seems like a sophomoric attempt to sound like a business professional at a games company.

Okay, to make it more clear, I mean Bethesda's Gamebryo based engine work is quite dated in a number of fashions. While it is hard to compare to other open world titles that don't have the same level of branching or object interactivity, it is nonetheless quite lacking in fluidity and numerous effects.
I really hope they are just trying to make the announcement more of a surprise, because it would be a disappointment if they are really a long time away form showing/talking about the next Fallout.

I really think that´s what that is - what else should they have been doing since 2011?

These fake memorandums need to try harder. They always seem to be written by people who've never seen an private internal memo before... unless Bethesda thinks standard formatting is for chumps, and that signing in black pen is a good idea (blue pen is generally used, to so that the original can be discerned from photocopies).

I'd say take your time, but their games are broken messes no matter how long they stay in the oven. So I really don't know what's holding up just announcing it.

Well fuck.
I think this could just be to throw everyone off before the surprise.

People called Romanes they go the house?
Eh, the 'please read' section of the memo seems like something google translate spat out. Fake, IMO.
But I can't believe FO4 has taken this long to even announce given how long it's been since Skyrim DLC production halted, even with transition to next-gen hardware. At this point, I'm almost expecting nothing til the VGA's this year, and a release late 2015 at the earliest.
I can't remember, has Hines pulled something like this before, though? I.e. says there's no upcoming announcement -> next day announcement by Bethesda/Zenimax.

oh i have no doubt that bethesda are not technically very competent, ps3 skyrim is a perfect example of that
