If that's the case, what's the second booth for? Because I haven't seen any satisfying answer to that question. No, not necessarily a tinfoil hat... I'm just asking. ?.o

Private showings for some certain folks, probably.

Unless I'm missing something, it's actually the August cover that will be released in early July.

Fine then. I'll change it xD

Well, it's certainly not a secret hut. No big secret at E3 it is.:)

That's a real disappointment. I had hoped for atleast something a bit interesting, even if it isn't TES V :P

IMO the whole E3 was rather disappointing. No real big surprises, and what I saw especially from the games I expected much of (for example Zelda) were rather disappointing.

But back on topic:

Why can't there finally be some info? I don't want to wait for July and hope for the 100000th time that something will be announced XD

There were plenty of nice stuff shown off this year. Skyward Sword looks sweet and I can't wait for the 3DS!

I agree with you about E3. It was pretty lame this year. That's why I'm even more excited about QuakeCon. :D

I feel old now, I remember reading Oblivion's GameInformer article :(


Gah, me too. Those were the days...

Hm. I would also like to know where I could get a copy, since I'm not a subscriber. So, Borders too?


Borders and Barnes & Nobles should have them. You might want to double check that before you run in though.

I was thinking about the wording of http://twitter.com/GI_AndyMc/status/15659437114 earlier today, and I noticed there was something a bit odd about it. To me at least, referring to TESV as a "giant sequel", while totally appropriate, isn't the first thing that comes to mind when I think of ways to describe the game. Most of the time when you refer to a game as a "sequel", you're implying that whatever preceded it was not a sequel - e.g. did not have any predecessors of its own. If I were writing that tweet and it was definitely about TESV, I wouldn't call it a sequel, I'd use another word - "followup" or "installment", for example. Using those words would probably be a bit close to the line of "too much specificity" (since they'd lend a hand in ruling out any games that aren't "installments" - for example, I wouldn't call DAII an "installment" since it's only the second of two games), but they sound so much more appropriate than "sequel" to me.

I'm probably just overanolyzing out of nerd-hype. Convince me I'm wrong, please! :P

Don't trust any info from Wikipedia unless it's paired with a valid, trustworthy source to back it up. Until then, it's just a fan editing the page to get people excited.

You are not wrong... and you are probably over anolyzing, but really there is no way to know what someone else meant when both are appropriate ways of describing what TESV is, both an installment and a sequel...

Wikipedia should not contain ANY content on TESV because they know no more than we do.

Yeah, no citation or source, so it's useless "information".

Meh, I wonder if it will take such a long time as from Daggerfall to Morrowind. The changes better be as striking as in between these games then :P
I somehow hated the "ending" of Oblivion and I found it annoying that the expansion did not try to tie up some loose ends (like Tribunal did with Morrowind, I loved that :P)

I just hope the waiting will pay off in the end, or else I'll play through Arena again XD Oh god...I don't think I'd survive some of the dungeons in this game again ^^

Its quite depressing when you think this time next year we will be tearing apart every bit of info when the game is at E3, as it still wont be out. I might try and forget about this whole elder scrolls 5 thing for about a year.

Everything everybody else said, AND, if you edited in baseless information for the sake of posting this and making a joke, don't be such a swit.

What the?

http://www.fallout-on-line.com/

Quite intrigued by this, especially the prompt about which Interplay Fallout game is your favorite. My assumption is that they're curious as to which Fallout game to set the atmosphere and gameplay standards to - boy, I tacked down that Fallout 1 radio button with pride. It seems Bethesda's more or less solidified their control over the game's intellectual property, but I'm pretty confident in the original creators doing this properly. Well, then again, it's an MMO.

I think that the legal settlement will include an Obsidian style move where they allow Interplay to make the game. After I played Fallout 3, I went back and played the other Fallout games and I gotta say that I wished I had gone the other way around. It was like when I went to play Arena. I played Morrowind, loved it, and then I played Daggerfall, didn't love it as much because of how awesome Morrowind was, and then I tried Arena, and wanted to stab my eyes. After FO3, the others are more than a challenge to even bother with... pacing is the biggest problem. You really feel like you are playing a board game. Which can be good for some folks, just not me.

On topic though, the more that Bethesda shoves out to other developers for the Fallout IP, the more reason to believe that they are giving themselves time away from that series to focus on TES... which makes me very happy. I would hate beyond hate to hear even the smallest inkling that Bethesda was devoting resources right now to FO4 when we don't even have an announcement for TESV. Don't get me wrong, I loves me my Fallout... but I am and Elder Scrolls [censored]...

Maybe. You might want to check and see if they have the latest GI magazine just to make sure that they get them.
