Games

I hope they're using this time to learn lessons from their Starfield flop and gather the talent and budget needed to improve upon Skyrim. A modern engine probably wouldn't hurt.

However, my expectations are very low at this point.

It's gonna take twice as long as Starfield all to contain the same jank in an even larger, more barren, world where nothing is interesting and you're just going through the motions because that's what Todd Howard thinks games are.

Don't worry, in five years it will launch with the same physics tick rate bug and the dearth of anything interesting that is customary of any Bethesda Game Studios game.

If they take too much fucking longer I'm gonna look for my RPG fix Elsweyr.

Normally, I would say that I don't care when a game comes out, as long as it's a genuinely good, complete experience. But knowing Bethesda, it'll be another 5 years before we see anything, and then we'll get an embarrassingly buggy title, that hasn't innovated on anything since Fallout 3 came out.

I used to forgive them for anything, knowing that the modding community would just patch things anyway, but we've seen how Starfield was rejected by a ton of people with skills.

They could take 30 years to make it, but it would still be made by Bethesda and it would still suck.

Just in terms of timeline, Dragon Age 4 was teased at about the same time with the same level of teaser trailer. It's releasing this fall.

So a full modern RPG being fully developed in that time by a smaller studio, and for elder scrolls we haven't heard squat.

Who knows how DA will turn out, but we know modern Bethesda quality thanks to starfield. Not having any news in 6 years proves this trailer was made just to shut fans up

They just released this teaser to shut everyone up at the time

The teaser itself is some generic terrain with procedural grass anyone could do in blender in 3h

I want to be positive and I'm trying to remain optimistic, but somehow I just know it in my bones that they're going to further Fallout 4 the franchise and strip away even more skills and attributes. Hell, maybe they'll get rid of dialogue entirely.

Excited for the special edition of the trailer

I used to be a Dragonborn like you, but then I got a fire arrow to my dedicated graphics card.
Now nothing newer than Oblivion will ever run on that machine.

Yay, six more years til they release a buggy mess

Well, at least they won't need to make "thousands of planets" worth of "content", so the game might at least look consistent

Still, after Starfaild, my expectation is for TES6 to have something that kinda almost resembles Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's melee combat; only Archery, Melee, Magic and Armor skills to level up; Emil Pagliarulo's "greatest" story yet with double the time travel and multiverse bullshit; twice the amount of stories that get nowhere and that nobody in the world cares about; removal of stealth

Shut up. 6 years!? 👴

It was 5 years and 8 months between the release of Oblivion and Skyrim. Oblivion was released on March 20, 2006, and Skyrim was released on November 11, 2011.

Probably working out how to add stealth archer mechanics to a MTX.

Wow, thought it was like 2 years if you asked me

It's just the time necessary to figure out how to create a ladder climbing animation
