No New Elder Scrolls!

[Trifer420]

oh well, I'm content with a modded oblivion for now.

 

[Hatchling]

They are releasing companion novels with the frachise so it proves they are keeping it alive so there might be hope in the future for a return

[Onyx Oblivion]

But...my name. It had better actually be out before January 1st, 2012.

I stopped expecting anything good from Bethesda.

Same. I sort of feel like I am out alone on a bizarre, far, far away island when I say Fallout 3 is a bit shit.

...?.........................????

 

[Inarticulate_Underachiever]

This reminds me I still need to finish Oblivion

 

[nathan-dts]

HOW CAN GOD DO THIS TO US? Oh, wait I dont believe in god...

Wow, was there really need for another pointless athiest statement?

 

[Flying Dagger]

all this hate for fallout3, whilst i'll freely admit the story was fairly crap, the game was awesome... so much to see and do, it reminded me of back when i was playing GTA VC on my ps2, the sense of so much to see and do...

i'll have to go buy morrowind or fallout 2 now, and they better be good!

At a recent press event, Bethesda's VP of Marketing and Public Relations Pete Hines told attendees not to hold their breath in regards to a new game in the Elder Scrolls franchise. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/974/974529p1.html

Sorry if this has been done in the news, I searched the forums and didn't find it.

Well damn.
I don't feel like I was done with that series

Fine, Bethesda, be that way. Back to modding Morrowind.

 

[RAWKSTAR]

I refuse to believe this.
I can't believe they would give us the ES series.

 

[GonzoGamer]

Bethesda must have a crippling fear of money and success.

I thought they only cared about money.
Considering how quickly they're finishing up Fallout3-60, I'll bet we see the new TES before we see another GTA or Burnout.
Of course I'm sure it will be filled with more bugs than a bait store but, that's Bethesda.

 

[Mask of 1000 Faces]

Elder Scrolls is the flagship of Bethesda.

It's their Warcraft, their Final Fantasy.

They can't just not make the next one, and I don't think they are going to stop making them.

Yeah, seriously.

Why the heck is everyone overreacting? Noone's said "there will never be another elder scrolls", they just said there wouldn't be any news of it "anytime soon".

Chill out, give them time to make another score.

If they decide to stop the Elder Scrolls series, I may have to kill myself.

Shame, I just rediscovered TES4 and loving it again. Would've loved to see the fifth installment.

Same, I started playing it again a few weeks ago. My third run-through. Brilliant game.

Actually, I thought it was kinda "meeh" at first. Then I fucked up my original save (had a scout/thief character, was in a dungeon I couldn't leave without arrows, a crappy dagger wich also ran out of magika thus becoming really crappy, and I had craploads of really powerfull skeletons against me) and didn't touch the game for a long while. Then I created a new one (heavy duty melee), grow meeh again (the melee combat is well....I want to chop limbs off with my massive katana, damn you, give those weapons some impact!). But then I booted it up again this afternoon, and was réally enjoying chopping those bastards (was in the Mythic Hand cave, where you get that book), even though it looked like I was hitting them with a blow-up baseballbat. Maybe they learned that from Fallout 3 though, TESV doesn't have to be thát graphic but hell, some weapon effects would be nice.

The article seemed to be implying more that TESV was simply down the road quite a bit, rather than that it doesn't exist. Or that at least we shouldn't be expecting any news on their next big project for quite some time. Honestly, if it takes them a while to bridge the gap between the next game being like Oblivion, a game that I spent three or four months playing before I was bored of it, as opposed to Fallout 3, one that I spent about two weeks playing, I'm perfectly willing to wait.

Over 50 replies in this thread and only one person with any shred of reading comprehension.

There is going to be a new TES game, just not in the IMMEDIATE FUTURE.

"The next big project announcement is not coming anytime soon."

They're not going to can one of their two biggest moneymakers. Besides, by making an announcement like this, there is less pressure on them to produce results. I'd rather hear nothing about a new TES game for a couple years, then have them pull back the curtain, display something awesome, and announce that they have a definite release date that is only a few months off.
