is elders scrolls 5 an MMO?

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

wait.

so you mean runescape v 1.2?

I sincerely doubt it. They may make a TES MMO, although I don't think so, but they wouldn't abandon the series. TES V will be a single player game in the vein of its predecessors.

I will go cry in a corner if that is made. Also my computer would have a heart attack.

I wouldn't think so to be honest. All the recent acquisitions of Zenimax (the company that owns Bethesda) have been smaller studios with no past history with the mmo space. Beyond that, Bethesda has not ever really even worked within the framework of producing a multiplayer game much less one that works on a massive scale. Moreover, there have been no announcements in the last year or so of job openings that imply a shift in that direction (i.e. explicitly looking for MMO experience or even network programmers).

Thus, with no past history in the subject, no major acquisitions in the field, no recent job postings on the subject and no announcement to the effect, I'd be willing to bet that it won't, in fact, be an MMO. I'd even go so far as to expect that the game isn't even multiplayer capable.

"I only played Oblivion the first time a week ago"
then yes, you'd have the feeling you've been through this with a lot of sandbox games.
but this game is over 4 year olds now. gta4, saints row, a lot of these sandbox games weren't around then. it's the same with half life. play it, and it's actually mediocre. put it in the right time context, and it's a really good game.

Agreed. Which is why I understand why people loved it, and still do. But the question is, where do they go from there?

Oh dear god no. Please please please please please NO.

i would like oblivion to have a multiplayer option but not an mmo...that would suck

Like an areana type thing?
T'wod be badass. My Mage is OP.

not just an arena, so that you and a friend can go around the whole world kicking ass, maybe make it like borderlands multiplayer cause that was awsome.

 

[imnot]

it might work if you and mabey 10 other people where in each world so you could form a party, but i doubt that so it proberly will be crap

No, you'd still be saying, "Where WERE you when the DAEDRIC PRINCE showed up??? What? Paying the pizza guy? Our whole party is DEAD!" Plz no.

good point

I personally hope that if/when they do ever announce it that it will be a RPG like the oblivion. however looking at the buisness side of things (formation of zenimax online. ECT), and the fact that tamriel is the perfect setting for an mmorpg, then i would be surprised if it wasnt an mmorpg, it would also explain the long time between oblivion and elder scrolls 5, because they have to develop a new engine and the like
