the new elder scrolls 5 shadowrealm, general discussion

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Yay! Bethesda listened to me!!

By continents do we mean Vvardenfel, Cyrodiil etc. or Tamriel + others?

 

[Squedee]

if they make the game like this they should not have fast travel but have boats and teleportation spells instead.

They're stealing motorcycles and coptors from WoW.

no but mounts would be cool
imagine having a guar as a mount

the new elder scrolls 5 is supposedly have all the continents in it, how are they going to fit that on a disc.

Blue Ray?

And make it a PS3 exclusive... Yeah, fat chance. Especially since all their games are moddable - most of the people will want it on PC just to add mods extending the lifetime of the game.

I've got a blu ray drive in my PC, soooooo, couldn't blu-ray games come to the PC eventually? I mean we transferred from Floppy to Cd, then to DVD, so Blu Ray PC games could/should be a future option

well, the only thing i can think of is, 1) blue ray? 2) pc with a lot of space 3) downloading it onto your xbox360 hardrive, or switching disks every continent

digital downloading is the future of pc games

 

[Sparrow]

Surely, it could just be a mutliple disk thing? Maybe an install?

okay people less "i heard that..." more actual sources (wikipedia doesn't count)

I like to have a disk, and considering the size of some games compared to achievable download speeds, it would be quicker to go to the shop and buy it on disk then install it. Plus I have a friend that doesn't have use of the net at all, he is part of a vary small minority, but he already can't play a number of games because of steam registration, and he's very pissed off about it.

I will continue to yell shenanigans until you provide me with a recent source to which you are proclaiming, peasant!

Shenanigans, I say!

However, if it's true, then count me as excited.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

I'm devouring Shivering Isles at the moment and I still can't get enough.

If they'll have all the continents then I'd better get a damn new Hard Drive. If not, oh well it'll still be addictive and fun and I'll still waste half my day on it.

 

[HillDragon]

...Source pl0x?

...I say lies, unless I find info or am given a source.

...so if you can provide a recent source I might believe it.

How fitting that this comes from an "anonymous source"...
...But of course, if you have a source, please prove me wrong.

okay people less "i heard that..." more actual sources (wikipedia doesn't count)

I will continue to yell shenanigans until you provide me with a recent source to which you are proclaiming, peasant!...

...And yet none cited.

Spoiler: I'm not trying to be a spoiler

Baby make your booty go
Girl I know you wanna show

If the wikipedia article has sourced its claims (like most popular articles do), then I don't see why not. If a statement is sourced, then you can simply check the source for verification. Also, you can easily check the discussion page and changelog of the article for a general idea of what the vandalism history of it looks like. The idea that wikipedia is an unacceptable source merely for being wikipedia bothers me. People with this idea clearly have very limited experience with its system...

As for the topic, I think it's pretty much done. The topic starter has been asked for a source several times, and ignored the requests. That means he doesn't have one.

But how long did it take for prices of DVD burners to fall to a reasonable price? They were on the shelves for super long time, because it was easier and cheaper to get CDs and burn them.

Right now, BDR burners are much more expensive than DVD burners. Three times, I have checked right now. And Blu-Ray Discs are much, much more expensive. Two BRDs are for 30 PLN at least, so it's 50GB. The cheapest DVDs are 1,1PLN. So you get 50GB for 30 PLN, with DVDs 50GB is about 12-13 PLN.


Not. Worth it.

They could, you know, use... two discs! *women fainting, men revolting, murmurs of disapproval and several gasps*

As for consoles... I dunno. But you can't seriously expect to play what is bound to be a bug-ridden piece of software without the ability to mod it.

Maybe they'll use a TRIPLE LAYERED DISC! Or not.

 

[USSR]

Hmm...This is not true.

The only thing coming out soon with the name "The Elder Scrolls" is a novel and something else for Oblivion.

No TES5.

Bethesda Split into two groups, one for Fallout and one for TES.

I'm not saying it's coming out soon, but it is a safe bet it is production just as much as Fallout 4 is.

*Don't ask for a source, because I picked it up from multiple sites with their approval stated someone else's link =p

Its not enough. This is just a rumor.

The same as TES5 is going to be based in Skyrim, TES5 is going to be a MMO, TES5 is going to have a portal to Fallout universe bla bla bla.
