Bethesda General Discussion Thread

[DosBuster]

I'm hearing that there will be three new titles announced at Bethesda's press conference. Wolfenstein is guaranteed, Evil Within 2 will probably be there and as for the third one.. I think it might be a DOOM expansion pack like The Old Blood was. It'd make sense to develop something like that now that a year has passed since DOOM first launched. Or it could be anything, pretty much every studio including the online one are working on unannounced projects so who knows.

 

[Iznaliu]

No, they have a separate team for that, which is also hiring programmers atm en massse. They're bulking up their engine team which before was really only like 10-ish people.

Probably taking Radiant AI to the next level then.

Wasn't Evil Within a flop?

Wasn't Evil Within a flop?

It sold enough to make a sequel I believe.

So, what de the Hell is this? Uploaded 2 days ago

WTF is this game debate website?

 

[HoboForEternity]

Literally fake news . . .

 

[frajaq]

I can't even get that function of the website to work right now

It feels really weird that only on that site something like this would be leaked, maybe when the rumors of New Orleans came out the site's owner got really excited

I used that function. Its working, but the site is fragile.

I really want to know where and what is the database this site is accessing and getting this information. Dishonored III? TESVI? Fallout NO?

Too much information to someone just fake in a random website, but I want to know what database is this. Or we have just a huge lunatic on this website.

Sounds like just bullshit, anyway.

That is the obvious conclusion.

Todd Howard is announced to be part of the jury that will judge some game awards...




...and, as expected, hilarity ensues.

Great interview.

His leather makes noise. A lot of noise, almost as much as what pours out of his mouth.

 

[Iznaliu]

I don't really get why people are so obsessed with discussing something that will never happen.

Much the same reason people watch movies and play games that will never happen: escape.

Bethesda need to combine Daggerfall mechanics and Morrowind storytelling and maybe they will have a good game, but they will never do it now.

Why? They continue to make millions on every release.

A game like this would be too ambitious.... look at the size of the world of Daggerfall, it would take years just to build the world with todays graphics(unless they would make it procedural again), and on top of that hand placed content of atleast quality of Morrowind..... it would take over 10 years probably just making this game.

It's easier to just dumb down Skyrim further.

And most consumers wouldn't like it anyway, especially seeing as it is probably "out-of-date" on release with such a long development time, meaning that they've just wasted 10 years of their time.

I could actually see old stuff like climbing coming back. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was too big to avoid, so I could see the next Elder Scrolls getting climbing back, having weather play a role in what's happening, and being able to start fires...it's so weird they haven't gotten around to being about to set grass on fire yet.
