Not a big deal. The game'll do well, because it looks great, and I see this because I'm not a bandwagoning asshole.
So anyone who doesn't think it looks great is a "bandwagoning asshole"? Wow.

They did explain that in there was a cult worshipping the atomic bombs.
They probably should've disarmed it though lol
It looks nothing like WoW, and the animations are incredible for an MMORPG.
Didn't you guys saw this last trailer? Watch how bad it is..i mean with that tight NDA they cover it up like it's a good game...ahum.
The issue is they don´t need Skyrim numbers. They need 500k-1 million subscribers. Do you think TES can´t pull that off. Besides if the boxes sell million they will recoup their money. Besides my issue here is that people rushing to calling it a bomba.
For how long?
Also I don't think people realize that if you spend 200 million dollars on something your ultimate goal is not to just make that money back. You want a huge revenue stream. Otherwise the opportunity cost blown on this game is much higher than 200 million dollars.
the fuck? this is a Curt Schilling-esque misuse of money.
200 million seems about right for an MMO. The decision to make this game was made at least 5 years ago when it was believed making an MMO was highly profitable. Most people don't know blizzard almost sank the company making WoW.
Evidence of this?
Star Wars by Bioware failed. This will fail too.
Did no one learn from every other WoW-killer?
Evidence of this?
Any MMO investment is long term. And from over a decade of MMOs, no company can be stupid enough to expect to be rolling in the money right away.
I wonder if this will be the last high profile MMO underperformance or if anyone is actually still taking 5 years to build one of these things.
does anyone have any info on the Wildstar budget? I saw on the wikipedia page the other day that it's been in development since 2005.
the money, the budgeting, the planning- all the changes in gaming & computing over that time. just thinking about mmo development scares me half to death.
Cliff Bleszinski on the pointless podcast. Never googled it though, figured it wasn't something that you could fact check.
Find podcasts and interviews with the guys and gals who worked on WoW during its alpha/beta about those times. They're fascinating.
Except what we've seen is that long terms MMOs go F2P that are not WoW.
Why is everyone so quick to say the game and this model will flop?
People fucking love Skyrim and the preceding games. ESO has the unique characteristic of being an online extension of a well known and loved series. Yes SWTOR was in the same boat, but lets be honest the game was and still is a piece of shit. Bethesda is by leaps and bounds a better studio than EA and we can be safe to assume they'll make a good game with the 200 mill.
Cliff Bleszinski and random people who worked on the game during alpha/beta?
I know Vivendi wasn't doing all that great, but this is really the first I've heard that Blizzard came close to "sinking" as a result of WoW's development. You'd think there would at least be a write up somewhere about this topic, but Google is turning up nothing for me.
Gotta chase that Shadowrun money.I think there might be a way Bethesda can at least break even with this game.
How many SKYRIMS does 200million give you? 4? 5?
Seriously asking they are not public?At least Zenimax doesn't have to worry about public shareholders
Why does this company not understand that their their customer base would be perfectly happy with with TES and Fallout game + expansion packs every three years? Hell, they can even use the same engine for both.How many SKYRIMS does 200million give you? 4? 5?
Should of been F2P from the start.
It will hit F2P within 6-8 months of release. It's SWTOR all over again only less people are interested in this.

Given the amount of marketing EA put into Star Wars, unless Elder Scrolls exceeds that and truly brings something new to the table. I see us with a 200 million dollar F2P title by 2015.

Blade and Soul contains lots of torpedoes
