...like women play TES.

Morrowind is a game for bubbly women and effeminate men.

Hahaa, Morrowind is very much the reason I love TES... I am more of the big and burly viking type than a prancing pansy (not that there is anything wrong with that). But I do remember being called a bubbly woman, once, so maybe you are on to something.

Actually, I am disappointed. All this Fallout crap on top of other BS.

I really wish that Bethesda would throw us a bone here. Just something for us to gnaw on until they have something of real substance to share.

A screenshot... A piece of concept art... Anything would be better than what we have now.

I didn't even know Bethesda existed until I bought Arena all those years back. I've played some of their other games. But none of them draw me in like The Elder Scrolls...

i am not mad about it. I AM ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i still have no clear idea of what the second booth was for.it is very very very very very very very sad to me, that the one company that is leagues above its competitors in development of quality games has slipped down to a silly publisher.and yes this is a bloody rant,and yes i will get over it.but i just needed to write this down and get it out of me.there are hundreds of developers and publishers that can pull this with nary a thought of it because i don't expect anything from them anyway.but my dear bethesda i need to tell you #$%$#@^%$&^&*#%^@#&^*$#$$&@$&@$#%&@%^%$&........$@&^&$@.....#$%^#$^#@^....#@$^$#^#@^$#@^$#^#%@#$%$@#%.i think you led a lot of fans in to thinking or hoping that you would give us something,anything would have been better than silence.and i think i speak for a lot of your fans.i do love me some bethesda and bethesda games and always WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!you guys have the midas touch.but you have to know NOW that it was a s#@%y thing to do.and now i feel a bit better:)a loyal fan

And this is the reason we need TES V now...

I was waiting every day to hear what their big "secret" that was to be announced at E3. I guess it was the Rage FPS. I was really really disappointed not to get any news whatsoever about TES anything.

Do we have to wait another year to have hope of news? Aren't things usually announced at one of these events? Or can they just come out with a surprise release?

I came to the forums today to post about this and see a whole thread already on it, so I see that others are disappointed too.

No, Hopfully we will get news in the next GI...hopefully everyone's subscribed to t so you get first hand news

Wow must be a lot of newbies here. LMFAO. I guess I am use to this, no new for upcoming games. The worst was after Daggerfall was made, Morrowind was announced, but havn't herd nothing in 4 years about it. Man that was rough. At least Bethesda is doing the right thing. Don't annoounce anything until there is something to announce. I only want to wait a few months before the release of the game. I don't want to wait years. So I like the way Bethesda is doing it. Keep quiet and when the game is almost done then announce it. There is nothing to gain by saying "Yes TES V is being worked on" and then we would be flooded from people asking "when is it coming out, where are the screenshots, what is the name, will this be in it, will that be in it, why is this in, why is that left out etc etc."

We all know they are working on TES V, that is a given, the company would be idots not to do a sequal. So Bethesda dosn't need to say it's being worked on, since we all know it is. They even admited to it, if you can read between the lines.

Just be patient, and play Arena, and Daggerfall for those who havn't yet.

True my friend....true....

I voted no.

Simple fact is, maybe they havent quite gotten everything to where they may want it before they release a " teaser " trailer. With games as TES franchise has been, they probably approach everything with as much patience as possible. And if things arent ready yet, then they wont release anything. Why release something this soon before they even announce a release date on the actual game itself? Which would probably cause more contoversy than actual legitimate discussions on the topic.

When everything is said and done, be patient and Bethesda will reward all of us for being so.

Perhaps a little bit, but like many have said, they told us they had nothing to say, so I didn't expect them to say anything. However, if by the end of the year there's nothing still, I will be a tad annoyed. Fallout gets two new games within a roughly two year timespan, plus several new games, but we haven't heard anything from TES recently save for the PSP TES4 that fell through. It seems silly, since if they had just said, "Oh, and.. Elder Scrolls V will happen eventually." at the end of their E3 thing, people would have creamed just from that, so obviously a new game would sell like awesomepops.

I choose to boycott all Bethesda games until they announce TES V.

Rage looks WICKED... so bummer for you (unless of course they announce TESV in a couple of weeks like many of us believe).

I'm really hoping we hear something before Thanksgiving. I figure New Vegas should sate my open-world addiction for about a year, but I'm REALLY jonsing for a new adventure in Tamriel.

They are most likely making TESV now , they aren't making any other games I'm hoping which I think most likely I'm right. The other games Bethesda Softworks is Publishing not making kiddo.
Bethesda Game Studios make games
Bethesda Softworks Publishes games.

Since they are being so tight-lipped about it, it is probably going to be pretty awesome :celebration:

Just everyone wait...we will all be on the sidewalk at gamestop at 3am in no time...(btw do stores even do over night stays anymore?)

When a teaser trailer for a game is shown there never is a release date for that game
also, most teaser trailers are not using the in-game engine

so either way the teaser trailer normally wouldn't be the same so it can be made at about any point during the game's creation

and Beth hasn't said ANYTHING, it would be nice to at least confirm it

No, I am not annoyed at all. I would only be annoyed if the next big game turned out to be something else other than TES V.

I wish they'd stop this "Blizzard"-like secrecy and long drawn-out development times. I don't want to wait 10 years for the next ES installment like I have Diablo III.

I know what you mean...it's like everyone's saying they want TESV to take its time, but 5 years is 5 years

Well, there's excuses for things such as this, then there are reasons... It's tough to say which is which if everything is all Hush-Hush. But IMO I'd have to say that they spent the first couple of years, or at least the first year working on the XP's, Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine. I have to say that Shivering Isles was beyond what I expected, but then Knights of the Nine was far more of a disappointment than I would have ever expected from Bethesda. (Although the fight in the sky was pretty awesome)
So, assuming that took two years *doubtful*, then I'd say in the last three years they've definitely worked something out, so they're probably working on a new TES, whether it be V or not. (ofcourse i hope like hell it is NOT a MMO). That said, for some unsung reason, game developers seem to want their developed games to remain secret until just before release day.. There's several "reasons" for this. First, all the forum trolls asking super-annoying questions, Then you have to consider the games integrity - meaning that they don't want outside sources having influence on their game before it's ever released. Of course, they don't want other game developers to see too much of their work, then beat them to the punch before they complete the game. (take E32010 for instance - it seems that there were about 30+ fps games announced, and only about 3 rpg's.. How Depressing Is That? It's because fps is pretty basic, not much to steal, but rpg's have storyline, combat engines, graphic design, theme and character design to worry about, if any other developer gets their hands on it before Bethesda finishes the game, they can completely rip them off and ruin TESV before we get a chance to enjoy it.
I'll admit it, TESV was one of the few games that I actually hoped to see announced, but I never actually expected that they would announce it at FPS-expo ( my newly dubbed name for E3 ). Besides, E3 quit being a fan-based audience a long time ago, its all developers and press people. Then they let G4 cover the whole expo, so there's no way they'd let it be announced there.. with that [censored]-bag Sessler asking "when can we buy it?" every three minutes.
My only unanswered question is really just why they dont delegate TES it's own development team apart separate from other Bethesda games, like Fallout etc. No offense to fallout, but it's never gonna be TES... Ever.
All that said, we all know that The Elder Scrolls is Bethesda's best game series, and it will be for years to come, even if they don't put out another. So they'd be semi-retarded to put it off for much longer, and semi-retarded is not a word that I associate with Bethesda. After all, in my own list of game developers, Bethesda is above everyone else, and since SquareEnix still exists, that's saying a lot.
My vote was obviously Yes, I'm annoyed that there was now TESV announcement at E32010, but since I never expected it, I'm not going to hold it against them.. Personally, I would never announce a game there. I wouldn't have announced Fallout: New Vegas either, but they did that, probably just to quiet some of the anger that there was no TESV announcement... but then Fallout is essentially a open-ended, free-roam version of a FPS anyway, which is why I'm not a huge fan. I played 3, but I just couldn't get into it.. once that one guy teleported way the hell out there, forcing me to clip through a wall and anger him to run him back to the citadel, I totally lost interest.. yeah it's a glitch, and all Bethesda games have glitches.. remember the Umbra/Clavicus Vile Mission in oblivion, and how it was impossible to complete on the original release version? How annoying.

Zenimax owns Bethesda, and they currently have 3 trademarks on the name SKYRIM. One for clothing, one for gaming strategy guides, and the last for computer gaming in general. Of the 3, the first expiration date that will arrive is July 28, 2010. They have already filed all 5 extensions for each patent that they can; you are limited by law to 5 and that's it. So by July 28, you will hear something, or they will lose their hold on the name. Want proof? Simply visit the US trademark website, a Google search will get you there. The name SKYRIM yields 4 results, the other of which is a Florida-based communications company.
So that's that. July 28.

EDIT: Actually I'll make this easy: http://tess2.uspto.gov/ , select "New User Form Search, then type in SKYRIM in the search box, and simply hit "Submit Query." Trademarks 1, 2, and 4 are Zenimax. Read through it, and you will come to the same conclusion.

Theres no way the new game they are making is a horrid travels game is it D:
