Can't wait for the logical end point of current Bethesda design, a thousand square meters of bland plains where everything from the quests and the characters to the weapons are randomly generated by an algorithm with only three variables.

 

[DJ Lushious]

It's been almost a decade now since Skyrim. Jesus...

I can only assume you actually meant "Oblivion," since Skyrim came out six years ago. Which, technically, you could round up to ten, but that's really a stretch here.

 

[Devilgunman]

Coming to the Switch?

 

[Pakoe]

If it's gonna be anything like Fallout 4, no thanks.

 

[KKRT00]

Eh I don't believe his bullshit, especially with the ram and GPUs in the current consoles. That and ps4 pro and Scorpio are decent power upgrades over the base models.Seems his statement is basically code for that they are limited by the shit CPUs in ps4/xb1.

They could simply code the game for a 1080, 16gb ram and skylake i7. For very obvious reasons they won't, but saying the tech isn't there is bullshit.

If he want to make new ES like Daggerfall than he is right, there is no tech like that yet.

 

[sirap]

But their world building is unmatched. Credit where it's due folks.

*Uh-huh*

I'll start giving Bethesda credit for their world-building when they stop mixing up dates and going against their own lore lol.

 

[pitchfork]

Elder Scrolls online is great folks! those looking for their TES fix would be wise to check it out

 

[MKIL65]

Four times the fetch quests.

 

[Heckler456]

Really looking forward to them. I just finished up Fallout 4, and I really enjoyed playing it.

 

[Cuningas de Häme]

Take your time guys!

I am sure that they can make the next ES even better, especially if they stop dumbing down the mechanics and do their own thing again. Skyrim is a child of it's time, but now thigns are going in the other direction and hopefully we get to see a new take on ES formula.

I really want either Elsweyr or a Redguard region (would prefer old Yokuda and make the game end to the apocalypse, would be great!)...

 

[borges]

I Love Todd Howard. Looking forward to seeing these

Come at me GAF

mm, yeah. Many negative / cynic comments ha. Todd is great.

 

[Backfoggen]

Can't wait to see what they try to get Gamebryo to do next.

 

[Tovarisc]

Bethesda is one of those devs who should go smaller and more refined than take their current design model and scale it up and up. Fallout 4 was already pushing their "Explorable sandbox with very, very light RPG elements and a lots combat" design to limit in size, imo.

 

[bati]

Just kidnap some of the CD Projekt Red writers and quest designers.
Maybe characters, story and quests won't be so shit then.

Yea boi, can't wait to hold LT while I blindly follow some footsteps in the next TES game.

 

[Plesiades]

Do not worry. The tech is already there.

 

[Tovarisc]

Yea boi, can't wait to hold LT while I blindly follow some footsteps in the next TES game.

At least you would have some unique writing to read and hear instead of 10 000th "Hey brah, that settlement totally needs defending for 50th time" "quest".

 

[CrayToes]

Whatever you may think of Bethesda Softworks. Not making ESVI after Skyrim's ridiculous success is one hell of a ballsy move.

 

[Betty]

I'll take more Fallout if you're selling it Beth.

Something new is also appreciated.

 

[RPGamer92]

I hope their new IP is sci-fi.

 

[Deadpool_X]

And neither one of them is coming to the Switch.

 

[deriks]

Tell me lies. Tell me sweet little lies.

 

[water_wendi]

Classicly Bethesda? So chances of hockey, bowling, drag racing, or Terminator are in the mix?

 

[Cyndra]

After Fallout 4 I can't muster up the strength to care what they bring out next.

 

[bidguy]

Coming to the Switch?

lol

 

[AcademicSaucer]

.

 

[RoadHazard]

It's pretty weird how there's still no word on a new TES. Like, are we not getting one this gen? That would be crazy, wouldn't it?

 

[Ahasverus]

2 games nobody cares about. Give us TES, then we'll talk about your new IPs.

 

[SuperBanana]

If the dialog is anything as shit as FO4 then pass.

 

[iFirez]

I wouldn't mind seeing something more typically sci-fi from them, more clean and sleek, rather than apocalyptic and dystopian.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Oh Todd, you are the guy who nearly made me hate the WRPG/CRPG genre before I could actually play better games on it.

His face always remind me of Messi. And I hate them both with passion lol

Hire some writers Todd.

Hell, if it wasnt for the guys how made interesting NPCs, i wouldnt have played Skyrim in its totality. More than 200 new NPCs with actual interesting sidequests, things to say and lore. You didnt know which character was made by Bethesda and which one was made by the modders until they open their mouth, then it became obvious.

So why not get them and have better writers that actually love their worlds.

Yea boi, can't wait to hold LT while I blindly follow some footsteps in the next TES game.

At least following those footsteps will be interesting.

 

[Tali'Zorah]

I honestly believe that one of the 2 projects is going to be a Fallout and TES6 is gonna be a long ways out. No way they're gonna leave Fallout dormant for too long given how much they made off Fallout 4, and the fact they can continuously milk Skyrim (which they can't really do with FO4) gives them less incentive to make a new Elder Scrolls yet

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Buggier*

Ouch.

 

[d00d3n]

The two new games are the next TES and Fallout games, then?

 

[DrD]

I'd be pretty hyped for Oblivion with guns in space.

 

[Asd202]

LMAO that top youtube comment.

 

[paragonpro]

I love bethesda games so im down for whatever they do...but i really want elder scrolls 6. But considering that studios pipeline it would make sense theyd want a break

 

[ironcreed]

Sounds great, but I really just want the next Elder Scrolls.

 

[dragonelite]

Hope they will torch down their current gamebryo engine and come up with a publisher wide game engine.
Like EA did with Frostbyte.

 

[Ascenion]

It's pretty weird how there's still no word on a new TES. Like, are we not getting one this gen? That would be crazy, wouldn't it?

Honestly I think the release of the Skyrim remaster points to that. TES VI probably involves something that current console tech isn't capable of handling.

 

[hydruxo]

I just want Elder Scrolls man haha, but I'm excited to see what new IP they have cooking since its been a while for them.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Hoping for one to be a cyberpunk game from them. The debates been fans of such a game and fans of Cyberpunk 2077 will be glorious.

 

[Andodalf]

Super excited to see what Bethesda can do with its first new I.P. in what, 25 years?

(Obviously not counting fallout as a new I.P.)


I'm hoping for one hard sci Fi game, and one modern game.

 

[AEdouard]

What's bothering me about what we've heard from them is that they never said they were switching to a brand new engine. Enough is enough with that crap. Fallout 4 was a good game, but was majorly set back by that ancient technology. Poor animation, loading screens everywhere, bugs, pretty ugly interiors.

Skyrim made a gazillion dollars (and still brings in money). Steal some people from Ubisoft and CD projekt red and build a competent engine for christ's sake.

 

[Tovarisc]

Hoping for one to be a cyberpunk game from them. The debates been fans of such a game and fans of Cyberpunk 2077 will be glorious.

Like there even would be debate which would be better.

Just look at FO4 and then TW3.

 

[onemanasylum]

Unless it totally shakes up the bethesda formula, not interested.

 

[TetraGenesis]

I don't need bigger, Todd, I need better, goddammit.

 

[wildbite]

With the new IPs, I hope there is no loading screen to enter cities. I liked Fallout 4 but was disappointed we had to load to enter Diamond City and Good Neighbor.

 

[Ms.Galaxy]

Hire some writers Todd.

No, you're going to get Kid in a Fridge 2 and you're going to like it.

(That side quest really bothers me to no end...)

 

[Ascenion]

Like there even would be debate which would be better.

Just look at FO4 and then TW3.

Yes, Bethesda will make bank and likely not be as critically throttled as they need to be, and CDPR will likely be a critical darling but come up short gameplay wise.

 

[Tovarisc]

With the new IPs, I hope there is no loading screen to enter cities. I liked Fallout 4 but was disappointed we had to load to enter Diamond City and Good Neighbor.

After TW3 I was disappointed that we had to enter loading screen with every fricking door or hatch, no matter how tiny or large shag was in question.

Yes, Bethesda will make bank and likely not be as critically throttled as they need to be, and CDPR will likely be a critical darling but come up short gameplay wise.

Wot? Did you mean to say that they do less bank, or? Also that implies that Bethesda somehow delivers good gameplay
