Official TES V Speculation Thread # 40 : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

Just to clarify, two worlds 2 WAS at e3. So that rules that out.

HAHAHA. Did you really think Two Worlds would be a game that would make us crap ourselves?

Yeah, I'd think they would do it extremely close to the GI reveal. I forget how long it was with Oblivion; Anyone remember?

Well, if they're following Oblivion's pattern then we may get a countdown or some other teaser days beforehand.

But if it was a countdown then we'd all know it as well as if Todd jumped naked onto the stage at the MS conference shouting "Elder Scrolls Five Skyrim Christmas 2011!" Over and over.

As we assumed when it occurred with Oblivion. It's part of building the hype. We didn't know what the name was going to be, but we knew it was the next game in the series. Throwing us a few hints shortly beforehand will greatly increase the hype than if they suddenly dropped the announcement out of the blue.

Yeah, 90% of all 'countdown clocks' in this biz are foregone conclusions, but they get coverage, and thats the idea.

You get the "hey, theres a countdown" post, then the "speculation about the subject of the countdown post", and probably a "company history/editorial" post too, then the "here is what the countdown revealed" post, and maybe a few more. Multiply that by the majority of gaming sites, and your countdown stunt, which does not surprise the fans at all, has brought alot of eyeballs to your product.

I just have a hard time believing its going to be ESV on the cover no denying that.

I'm not sure I'm quite there either, but the circumstantial evidence is deliciously compelling and I really hope it to be so.

Agreed. Two Worlds svcks.

Agreed. Two Worlds svcks.

yep but maybe two worlds 2 will be better but I'm not going top risk my money buying it.

I already said it once fellas, it ain't happening, It's going to be Dragon age 2 or more likely Guild Wars 2. Sorry, again.

What people forget is that Two Worlds was an incredibly ambitious game which lacked polish, and the sequel will certainly address that, as the company has publicly acknowledged their previous mistakes, unlike Bethesda, who seem to have ignored all the criticism thrown at Oblivion, which by contrast, was a highly polished gamed that lack ambition.

The biggest non-technical problem for Two Worlds is it's restriction of character creation and generic plotline. However, that is exactly the direction Bethesda moved towards with Oblivion, and some would argue even with Morrowind. And let's say Two Worlds 2 still is still not as good as TES V when it comes out, we will probably see Two Worlds 3 and 4 by the time we see TES VI.

Longer development time does not a better game make. There is a bare minimum for creative construction and testing, but after that you are simply working on an engine that becomes more obsolete as every day passes.

And again, on what privileged information do you base this?

I just don't want to see you guys get hurt again. I know I can't take the abuse anymore. :shakehead:

I agree with you and I'll also throw in versus xiii as well.

As for two worlds I am actually very much anticipating it because it'll be another open world game on the console and I welcome those no matter what. All of the previews I have seen coming out of e3 have been fairly posotove about two worlds righting the wrongs of the first game so this fall should be good for us open world console only players no denying that.

I just thought I'd point out that almost every single one of your posts contain the words "no denying that".

Your concern is appreciated, but we can take care of ourselves. Unless you have a well-reasoned argument to defend your position, please move along to another thread upon which to throw your wet blankets.

Two Worlds. It's good to know that we have some great choices like this in case TES V is not announced soon enough.

Be sarcastic all you want but all the previews I have seen coming out of e3 for two worlds 2 have been positive and said they are righting the wrongs of the first game. We should all welcome all open world free roam games always good to see them in development no denying that.

No denying that.

By the way, not sure if this is the right thread, but would there be any reason for Bethesda not to release the game on PS3 from the get-go? I'm in the market for a new console and this may be a deciding factor.

I'm actually gonna try that game.

It would release on the ps3 same day as pc and 360 I'm pretty sure. Ps3 wasn't out when oblivion was first released otherwise it probably would have been developed for ps3 right alongside the other two.

Devil May Cry is a dark fantasy, but it usually isn't referred to that way. I don't know, but it's been a while since DMC4, and that was a GI cover story as well, so it could possibly be DMC5. Just saying.

The problem with Two Worlds you have to click your left mouse button three times to do a power swing. That is silly.

Good thing I don't have that problem I play the console.

I don't like you. Stop being a buzzkill.

Plus wasn't Two Worlds 2 at E3? And if so, why is everyone bringing it up?
