Official TES V Speculation Thread #38 : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

Diablo III could be a serious contender. Does anyone know for sure if it made an appearance at E3?

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 12:25 am

A sequel to Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines :celebration: As much as I'd love that, it's going to be TES V people, no worries

Also, could the August GI maybe be Two Worlds 2? They did a 1 page preview in the July one.

Gah, we're coming up with so many other games that the August GI could be.

It better be TESV, but I'm not so sure anymore. :sad:

Does the GI quote say "RPG" or just "Fantasy"?

Also, it seems like Eidos Montreal would be focusing more on Deus Ex: Revolution, which is being shown at E3. Maybe Thief 4 is too early in development.

Oh, right. I remember posting that exact same thing now in a past speculation thread. Now I remember. :facepalm:

Eh, I never thought about Diablo III. That's a possibility too. Reading http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/no-d3-e3-2010/ it seems BlizzCon would be the place for the devs to want to really publicize Diablo III. Does anyone know when BlizzCon is?

Alright, BlizzCon is in late October. Hm. I can't imagine Blizzard unveiling Diablo III in the GI, then waiting all that time to really publicize it at BlizzCon, or PAX.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about Diablo III in E3 2010 and it is probably not there. All I could find is that Blizzard confirmed a few months ago that Diablo III will not be shown at E3 2010 and very recently confirmed that more details from the game that was first announced at BlizzCon 2009 will be shown at BlizzCon 2010. This is also a game that I look forward to but not as much as TES V.

I don't care what you say, Two Worlds 2 is not a huge sequel that will make fantasy nuts "crap themselves".

I'm not so sure about Diablo III, because lately, they have been stepping up ads for Starcraft II. I don't exactly think they would advertise two big games at once, but I have no idea. BioWare advertised Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age at the same time, so it's hard to predict that.

* Experience with The Elder Scrolls Construction Set or GECK

Cool. If only they didn't add GECK at the end, then that would be concrete proof that their current project is TESV, but pretty much everyone believes that by now.

So, now that we've somewhat ruled out Diablo III, what about Guild Wars 2?

Two Worlds kinda svcked hard... so I would highly doubt it(the sequel) would get the cover.

People have already known about Guild Wars 2 for quite a while now; I don't think a cover about it would be too much of a surprise for fantasy nuts to crap themselves over...but maybe I'm reading too much into that statement.

The GECK and the TES CS are pretty much the same thing. So, if you are proficient with one, you should be able to use both.

Eh eh?

Its *always* been like this, except when FO3 hadn't come out, at which point it only listed the CS.

I doubt its GW2. Although their art definitely makes me soil my pants (on a regular basis), it is already well known and publicized.

Two Worlds 2 is at E3, you can see it listed on southpeaks booth on gamespot.

» Fri Feb 18, 2011 1:16 am

Cool. *Deep breath* Any other games to rule out?

Don't you think that ruling out known (or at least well-assumed) games is kind of moot when it comes to dealing with an announcement of a previously unknown game?

The fact of the matter is that it could literally be anything, as long as we don't know about it...

Well, apparently the GI cover art is to a sequel to a fantasy game, so.. er.. we should kinda know about it.

well, it was never said it was something unheard-of. For example, we know about Diablo 3 but it wasn't at E3, so it could still be that, although GI covers do tend to be new announcements.

...wait, did I miss something? How did we somewhat rule out Diablo III? That is certainly a non-E3 giant sequel that would make a fantasy fan crap themselves...

Read the quote again... it says that the concept art will make a fantasy fan crap themself, not that the game would.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 11:22 pm

M'aiq hopes that the Elder Scrolls: V will be announced, so all of you can enjoy the rim of the sky. There be dragons.

I believe if a fantasy fan were to see the amazing Diablo III art, a run to the laundry mat would surely be in order...

Maybe old news, but Gothic 4 seems out as well. Just seen a trailer of it, from E3.

» Thu Feb 17, 2011 6:31 pm

Well there isn't a whole lot left to unveil for Diablo III (since you can see quite a bit on the site), so it wouldn't be much of an unveiling... I just don't see anything compelling in that article that would make me think that the GI cover isn't going to be Diablo III... here's hoping though that it is TESV!
