Which is why they would create a whole new company, call it something snappy (such as, just spitballing here, Zenimax Media Online), and hire a whole bunch of veteran MMO designers...

Oh wait...

They already did that :angel:

Nintendo is about to have their conference... don't you think the worst case scenario is that Todd decides they want in on the Wii cash-cow and made TESV a Wii exxclusive title Haahaahahaa

now that would be funny

I actually wouldn't mind if Beth made a TES spinoff for the Wii titled: TES: House of Earthly Delights. Playable Characters include Emperor Uriel Septim, Sheogorath, Caius Cosades, Vivec, and Dagoth Ur!!

Or you can create your OWN character! Pick a class (i.e. Belly Dancer, Break Dancer, Ballerina) or create your own custom class! Also comes with a hip new soundtrack with 12 great songs, including the hit singles "Despite saving the world, nobody knows who I am" and "Why was I in Prison again?"

Every single launch game for the Kinect is already outdated, and I don't see them changing that with any future games.

What if they are working for a REALLY big mod for OB instead of a new game?

Yeah... no.

E3 has only just begun...

Meant as a really bad and lame joke...

Yes, this must be made! Neverar say never again. Crassius Curio should defnitely be added to the list of playable characters.

Theres bno way hell will Bethesda make it for the kinect. Kinect is useless trash.

The funny thing is, I would have disagreed with that until yesterday when it brought the MS conference to a hideous screeching halt.

They already did that...

Bethesda doesn't make mods.

You know E3 runs through Thursday, right? And that Bethesda has not showed its products yet? lol

They already said they have a "surprise" for E3, no clue what it is. I'm leaning towards the ES MMO. Could be TESV but I doubt it

VG247 is a ridiculously unreliable source imo

They never said they have a surprise silly boo... they just didn't answer Famitsu's poll question asking if they had any "surprises for E3" and Famitsu reported that "Bethesda is keeping their surprise plans a secret". By the way, Namco Bandai also refused to answer that question on the poll and nobody saw Pac-Man Evolved at this year's E3 either.

LMAO Nintendo FAILED

No, I'm not annoyed. I am, however, annoyed that Dragon Age II wasn't announced because that means there's a good chance that it's the "fantasy sequel" that will be on the cover of Game Informer.

There was some weird interference there. But when GI went to play the game on the floor it worked perfectly.

where does it say "fantasy sequel"

Umm, considering this post may quickly or has already lost logic (not a bad thing); we can look at the circumstances,
In my own subjective perspective, I can see this oogling over The Elder Scrolls V as entering the same progression as the last installment, TES IV.
So perhaps if you wish to capture the emotion, then you can rewind a few years in the forums to the release of Oblivion and capture the emotional appeal - only an idea. Living in the past is probably not a healthy route. Nonetheless, I remember the same perspectives being replayed. The pressure of E3 provoking flocking fans to announce TES, I want TES when the developers make it the best they can, etc...

My point is, none really, everybodies right!

Unless you really wish to bite your nails whether Bethesda may display this next installment, I propose there are other ways to look toward a future release.
(Oh, and in my perspective, I would like to wait for a trailer and not a few lines. I didn't find Oblivion to be the best necessarily in TES franchise. The release date and the trailer were goggling moments for me though)

I don't know any specific answers either as I realized my own experience of waiting a year before Oblivion was sort of like over idealizing a long, lost girlfriend.
But, you could:
A) Make interpretations of the game developers commentary. IE Would you take their comment of not finding E3 a good grounds for releasing something to be littoral? (Compare to like Peter Molyneux who is not adept at keeping secrets)
B) Look at the development mathematically from Morrowind to Oblivion. IE 4 years, plus the time to make Morrowinds expansions. The team split in two, you get the point? Now I assume the team may have split in two to finish the Oblivion expansion and work on Fallout 3; then this rising dawn we all speculate toward.
C) I give up, and leave the rest of the alphabet soup to be eaten by the community.

I hope I am not ruining this fairy tale adventure some gamesasians embark upon in anticipation for the chronic anticipation syndrom toward the next episode. I suppose mods are the answers to the fairy tales confrontation with our childhood fears, or rather, reemerging to your own fantasy reintegration. (Even play the TES in-game detective of evidence in the next chapter... someone's done that)

Ah I didn't know that, o well. Still, OP made a thread called "was no ES news at E3" before E3 actually started...

I still think Beth will show something. I wouldn't put money on the ES MMO, but I wouldn't be surprised either. I'm not expecting ESV tho

At least they didn't announce bad news (TES MMO is next, there will never be TES 5, they're shifting over to making horse grooming games and hunting simulations, etc.)

Bethesda doesn't make MMOs, period. That would be Zenimax Online.
