So, a year ago, Todd Howard said this:
“We have three longer-term projects we’re doing that are all…we’ll talk about them at a much future date. But they’re different than anything we’ve done before while also being a Bethesda-style game; big and crazy. But in many ways different than things we’ve done before.”
Fast forward one year and their E3 'showcase' doesn't mention ANYTHING about any of them? And, yes, I'm working on the assumption that any game that has a number 2 in the title doesnt fit with 'different than anything we've done before'
That means the first of those 'big and crazy' new games isn't getting announced before E3 2018, and probably released - at the very earliest in Autumn 2018.
At this rate, I think I'll be dead and buried before they get around to Elder Scrolls VI...
Again, and I said this before, I just don't get it. Not at all. Bethesda is a super-successful company that made huge money from Skyrim and Fallout 4. They could quite easily go out and hire people - different poeple - to work on Elder Scrolls VI (and Fallout 5 if they wanted) right now, without taking even a pause from their 'big and crazy' projects. Why not just do that? Why not just do Elder Scrolls VI and their big crazy projects - you know - at the same time? I don't get why they push games that are 100% guaranteed to sell by the bucketload right to the back of a VERY long queue!
I can't think of another business that would say, in effect 'we don't want to do something that, with 100% certainty, would make us millions of dollars'. Bizarre...
I 100% agree, Paul. Bethesda could literally make ES:VI with Morrowind's Engine, and people would still throw out their cash for it. As for new Developers, even if they had to double their team they'd still make more than enough money from ES:VI sales. I don't know, it just seems like they're trying to milk Skyrim for everything they can get, meanwhile ES as a series is slowly being forgotten.
But, back to the matter at hand...
Yeah, I honestly think that the whimsical, definitely not paid-mods "Creation Club" is top of my list here (Which, just to clarify, I hope falls flat on its face). VR (Which I have mixed feelings about), an Expansion for Legends (Still not quite sold here, either), and a re-release of a six year old game on a new console? Yeah, not very impressed.
