They won't be doing an on stage demo.

@Miller Hunted releases the week before E3, but yea they'll have RAGE there for sure.

Was this conirmed via Twitter?

Pete said no on stage demo.

Bummer.

Oh well, if we saw leaked gameplay at that Utah conference thing (even though it was 5 seconds) then I'm pretty sure we'll see some at E3

and I know Pete said that we'll get "something" so it could still be gameplay.

I still think they will have something for it there, would be a smart business move.

Doubtful? It's impossible. The Wii 2 should be released sometime early 2012. It would be a launch title.

Skyrim will not even come into sneezing distance of a Nintendo system.

I'm sure they will have something, but i'm concerned we won't be seeing gameplay. I think they have some big Skyrim setup at there booth. Maybe an animated dragon.

What do you care?

Explain please?

What does it matter to you having Skyrim coming to a Nintendo console?

It would only create more revenue for Bethesda which could be put towards Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls VI.

Its a distraction, they would have to take time to make the port taking away from any DLC.Then Nintendo might feel entitled to any future TES or FO game, which again will only take away form the full version.

I don't feel like reading 8 pages on non skyrim stuff, but my guess why Bethesda has the "L" shaped booth is because either a) they didn't want to pay for a big Square shaped booth or B) wanted a bigger booth but because of Triton was already there they had to work around them.

I don't know if this was mentioned or not but if I remember corectly, when E3 showed up, Bethesda had nothing new to show for Oblvion, so my guess is I will not be shocked if we don't see anything new for Skyrim at E3 since Bethesda likes showing thier games through other means.

So don't be surprised if we get no new video for Skyrimm at E3. I believe this will be for other Bethesda games to showcase and highlite that they can't do other wise. Skyrim would just overshadow thier other games, so I don't think we will see much of Skyrim at E3 again.

Porting it over to the console and making it utilize the new tech (motion, touch screen, whatever else) would take a lot of effort on the part of Bethesda. It also probably wouldn't get them much revenue, since most people who are interested in Skyrim already own one of the other 3 natively compatible platforms.

I forget, is E3 still an industry-only event, or is the public allowed? Like, for example, would an admin of the Elder Scrolls lore site be able to get in? :spotted owl:

You can be sure that if Nintendo's new system is as hardcoe as the Xbox or Ps then there will be a Fallout 4 on it. It will need to have a real controller though. No motion controls.



Still an industry only event. BUT. Someone who works at say... gamestop can pay $500 to get in. I guess that if you are affiliated in the industry then you can pay to get in. But I don't know about a website admin. You can be sure that Bethesda wouldnt let you into their closed booth though

Possibly, and yea the motion controls would need to be either gone completely or optional.

More revenue does not necessarily mean a better game. I think BGS is doing just fine, with or without Nintendo.

Im just hoping we get a lot more unique screens. Im tired of the same shots from different angles. And I hope they can finally shift away the focus from the dragons and mention the other 75% of Skyrim.

I don't think you'll need to worry about that.

Surely they'll be showing off Rage quite a bit too. But Skyrim will probably get the most attention.

It's entirely possible for Skyrim to go on Nintendo's next console (which is supposed to perform better than the PS3) and it would make a lot more in terms of revenue for the game. It's the same reason why there are more multiplatform than exclusive titles out there now. Exclusivity is nearly dead in the water, and I think that's a good thing. If the next Nintendo console uses a simple controller system like the PS3 and 360, and it will be released a little while after the game actually releases, then it wouldn't be impossible for it to be released as a launch title, an actual hardcoe fantasy game to show off the new direction Nintendo looks to explore.

Will they do it? Unlikely. But we shouldn't rule out the possibility, because it does make sense.

And to everyone else, yes, they have other games to squeeze into that booth. Skyrim can't take up the whole thing. Rage is the next big thing anyways, they want to get people excited for that because it comes out before Skyrim. And they may announce new projects there as well (because Arkane hasn't just been wasting its time watching YouTube videos)

No

Are you going to be at E3? How much of the team goes?

lol, i like that someone in bethesda has a sense of humor, this is the first time ive seen one of them post (this thread). I totally think itd be awesome if you guys were in the forums more often. Though i know your busy direct interaction with the devs would be pretty sweet. youd also get to see us squirm when you decline to answer questions.

They will probably throw out something. We only see the Skyrim stuff here, but they have other stuff in development. I wouldn't be surprised to see one or more FONV DLCs demo'd. As to the ME3 question, I'd guess it'll be at EA's place. Will definitely be keeping close tabs on G4 and IGN for their coverage. Unfortunately, E3's not the end-all-be-all expo that it used to be.
