I will.

I think they possibly have a rule against posting scans, but you'd be able to post a summary, I'd imagine.

Yeah, I meant a summary, posting a scan of it is likely not worth being banned for.

[Mel E]

Hopefully, something about ES:V will be announced at this years E3.

They've never announced at E3 before, though they may show something.

[lolly13]

I'm still putting my announcement hopes on the June edition of GameInformer.

[Darren Chandler]

I wonder what developer you could possible theorize me to be, but I will give you guys some slack in letting you know my first name is Conrad.

You guys are innovative, figure it out.





P.S. Good Luck with your continuing speculation about the game.

When's the June issue of Game Informer come out?

[Shirley BEltran]

Conrad Kibbles? The coffee boy?

...wat.

Either he is a normal member on these forums pretending to be a dev to get a laugh, or he is an actual dev doing this for a laugh. I'm not sure which, but there is an anonymous user viewing the topic. :shifty:

I have a sneaking suspicion it could be in June. I've no idea why though.

and in the end none of it is really worth looking into, as it'll prove less than some of the lesser supported reasons to speculate.

[Genevieve]

You actually think the announcement wont be until next year?
I honestly think it's a bit silly to actually think that Beth hasn't been working on this for years already. I think they are close to an announcement. Not a release, but just an announcement.
I expect Beth to have been working on TES:V ideas since the release of OB. If they haven't, that means they are less of a company than I had hoped. But I still think that highly about them.

I think it is highly likely that it will be announced next year. Really, they couldn't have much too show. They would have had, max 1 year (not full team) working on it. Most of that would be writing and concept art and like it has been stated (though not for TES:V :/) optimization of the game engine. Next year it will be announced and released in maybe mid 2012 to mid 2013.....

I am sorry but I think you are being way too optimistic....

[Heather M]

Actually it's coming out in May. Just like the May edition came out in April, and the April edition came out in March.

True, however the cover for the magazine is revealed for the next month at the begging of the previous month on their website, or so I'm told.

[Yvonne Gruening]

All it was was a document comparing the credits for Oblivion and Fallout 3, showing who had worked on Oblivion but not Fallout 3. There weren't that many people though, certainly not enough to make a game all by themselves.

True, there weren't many who hadn't carried over to the Fallout 3 team, but what was interesting was that the vast majority of people who didn't go on to Fallout were artists. So either they left Bethesda, or they started working on a different project. One they were more familiar with perhaps?

[sophie]

July, I think.

I made a funny :shifty:

If what you said is true, then I'm convinced. They went on to start development on TESV. Anything else would be nothing short of shocking.

Speculation is fun, huh? Running in circles, two steps forward one step back. I think we'll all need counselling if TES:V isn't announced at E3. And I think Bethesda should pay for it. :bonk:

[Cheryl Rice]

I don't know if this has already been posted, nor do I know if its true... But I found this.

http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/fullstory.php?id=162212

Full story there, but according to this; a new addition to the TES franchise subtitled Alinor. Due out sometime in 2011. Not a direct sequal to Oblivion. But same type of game, dispite quite a few new devs. **Crosses fingers**

Take a look at the date that was posted.

Yes, that was an April Fools joke, and a pretty bad one at that.

[Milagros Osorio]

Henry, you might wanna look at the date of that article...

Oh really? Well your "sneaking suspicion" is wrong. Thanks for being a smart ass.

Bah you right... thats what I get for researching during work breaks.

Thanks for the link. Now that is indeed fantastically interesting. Can't wait to see the June cover. O_O
But hope is dangerous. It hurts.

[Emmi Coolahan]

The waiting for any scraps of info is too much....

Anyway, to help pass the time, here is a vid. If you havnt seen it, have a laugh, if you have seen it, laugh again.

Just saw a teaser trailer for Call of Duty Black Ops. Obviously, a much different game. But 4 years is too long long a development cycle for any game series as profitable as TES.

The thing is, Morrowind was so amazing, I played it up until the final 3 months of Oblivion's release, at which point the graphics and gameplay were dated, the quests were all familiar, the thought of playing the new game ruined enjoying the old, and I just busied myself in other ways. Now, I'm playing it again waiting for TES V, because I lost interest in Oblivion in literally 1/10 of the time.

I would accept a game like Oblivion if a new "episode" were released every two years, with a moderately updated graphics, tweaked gameplay, and a few new story lines/quests.

Oblivion had a million minor flaws. Some of them were reactions to critique aimed at Morrowind, so I can't blame the developers...unless they fail to see the reactions are akin to Coke Classic and New Coke. So many people champion the graphics and physics as astounding improvements...but those are not innovations, simply the progression of technology.

The only things somewhat improved was the combat gameplay, the stealth gameplay, and in some cases the mixture of those with magick, (firing a spell while holding a sword) There was more voiced dialogue. BUT we lost total amount of dialogue, number of factions, number of dungeons, number of skills, number of weapons, number of armors, number of spells, and had enemies level with us, making level advancement moot or in fact, detrimental. We got to ride horses...but couldn't fight from them. We got to buy houses. Some of the "improvements" were so simple, and often easily added by modders that Bethesda cannot laud themselves, but must consider them a necessary inclusion.
