So, over the next few days I'm kind of going to be breaking down a few different conferences on-site and showcasing some of the content that's being announced at E3. I'm starting off with Bethesda but will likely try and do the same thing for the Sony and Nintendo streams tommorow and Wednesday.
Elder Scrolls 6 Confirmed
There's nothing for it other than this fact, but Todd Howard let us know that Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be after Starfield which is after Fallout 76. At the moment we've got the teaser trailer with nothing else, but based off it I think we can essentially suggest that Hammerfell and High Rock are the two most likely candidates. To me it doesn't feel like Valenwood at all, so High Rock's my bet, but I could be wrong.
Fallout 76 - What We Know:
So far the new trailer (shown above) has shown some interesting new elements to the game that automatically makes it different to Fallout 3, New Vegas or 4. Here's a list of just what we've seen so far.
Confirmed - Multiplayer
Confirmed - November 14th Release Date (THIS YEAR)
Starfield - Confirmed
Again nothing major to it, we just know that it's their next big game.
Elder Scrolls: Blades
Rage 2:
Doom: Eternal
Hadn't thought about the idea of the flying thing being a sort of... insect-like creature. That could be it. There was also another creature that looked kind of...lizard-like to me, not sure if it was that or a mammal but if you go to around 2:19 it looks like it's eating a corpse. Pretty gross little thing honestly.
Is that Ron Howard narrating the trailer? I missed his voice in Fallout 4 (outside of the TV news).
I have a separate question - so remember last year Todd (or maybe it was uncle Pete) said they didn't even have the tech to make ES6?
Considering everything we've seen from FO76 - it looks 100% like the FO4 engine.
Which almost for sure means ES6 is still is not really being made yet...right? Like, why pump out another fallout on the same engine when your fans are dying for ES6 unless you flat out don't have the technology to make ES6 the way you want?
Yeah that's my assumption at this point. I mean, it's obvious that there has been an improvement to the engine because of the world-mass and how complicated it seems to be (the addition of so much nature-y stuff) but I assume that there'd be something a bit...more to the game if they had a new engine or the ability to do...more. But there defninitely is more in 76 than 4, at least in regards to the complexity of the world space.
Also, I noticed that the game is going to be available for pre-order this month. Does that mean a 2018 release?
Mr. Edd said:Don't they always release fallout in october? That was the date on the Pip-boy in the original teaser. October 27th (2102). (although, the vault was supposed to open in 2097....)I wonder if it will require a better computer than the one needed for Fallout 4. I hope not.
As for the release date, I expect it to be later this year, yes.
Does anyone else think that Fallout 76 was the real Fallout game they wanted to make and FO4 was a sort of test with a new engine and they needed more time with 76? I just don't understand releasing a game 4x the size of the same franchise game just a few years before it.
Don't get me wrong, I played the shit out of FO4 and am excited for more Fallout but it just seems odd to me. Maybe we are missing some component that will make us all see it in a different light. If it really is another large single player RPG game then I will continue to stay confused. If it has added functions like multiplayer or some online component than I think that will bring it into a better focus for me.
But all of this complaining is really the angry Elder Scrolls fan inside of me who hates Bethesda for "going out of order" and how they said in the past they don't want to just pump out fallout and elder scrolls games. Couldn't they have at least pumped out a new Elder Scrolls game instead of Fallout? lol

It does definitely feel a little strange yeah, I think that we're going to learn more about it and that'll clear stuff up but I won't really understand it if we hear that it's Bethesda making a new single-player Fallout. What might work is if this was going to be their "Fallout - New Vegas" and they got Chris Avellone on board, saw what he was doing and said "Holy fucking shit guys, let's pour all our money into this so we become the greatest company ever". But he's working on Dying Light 2 (which I am now infinitely pumped for rather than just mostly pumped) so that's unlikely...
But yeah, other then that multiplayer or co-op or something would be the driving force that sets it apart from Fallout 4...Or, the more I think about it the weirder Fallout 4 was, I mean, don't get me wrong I prefer the gameplay but when you look at the actual RPG elements of the game and you compare them to 3...it's just strange what they did with the game, and honestly if it turns out that it was a test-run for Fallout 76 a lot of stuff would make sense. The baffling decision to have the shitty conversation wheel, the baffling storyline, the lack of character in the world, all of it would just be a lot clearer for me.
Don't know, but Fallout 4 always felt...emptier to me, like there's less memorable moments for me despite playing it more than 3 and NV put together by this point (which means around 100 hours). So that's my second thought, that they released Fallout 4 to pilot test some new shit and keep people interested in Fallout, but 76 is their main selling point.

Exactly. It is my hope that Fallout 76 will be Bethesda's "apology letter" to the more demanding Fallout fans. It's no secret that I was completely let down by Fallout 4, for reasons that are shared by many and are by now common knowledge.
As for the nature of Fallout 76, I think this is still Fallout 4's New Vegas. It is my understanding that the bulk of the work is being made by one of BGS' new studios, or that at least that new studio is lending a great deal of help to them, thus allowing the main team to work on Starfield.
As for Avellone, he is a freelance writer, and I don't think that the fact that he's working on one game would stop him from working on another. If they did bring Avellone to this, it would be like a sign to those more demanding (or more annoying) fans that Fallout 76 will be a "true" Fallout and will be more of an RPG than Fallout 4 was.

I'm trying to think of anything to say exept 'yep; but I really can't so I just agree with everything you've said :P
