Official TES V Speculation Thread # 47 : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Wed Apr 13, 2011 8:23 pm

Wasn't Diablo 3 ruled out? I thought some message board or something ruled it out. Didn't we narrow it down to TES V or DA 2?

I agree that it does add to the GI cover theory, but maybe, and I mean maaaaaaaybeeeeeeee, do you think he got tired of us going "He's fooling us." when he tried to correct us?

So hes gotten tired of doing his job?

I highly doubt that. If someone cannot confirm or deny something, it usually means that somethings going on with it, they're simply not at liberty to say. If something totally unrelated to their confidentiality like the front page issue of a magazine which is speculated to be about their game, they'd either give either give us the confirm/deny speech or they'd simply tell us the straight answer (no) since it won't effect their confidential pact because it has nothing to do with what they're doing.

So far we've got neither, which is basically a mute's version of the confirm/deny speech. But Bethesda are not fools. Why come in here and confirm/deny anything, if we will then know that the cover of Game Informer is TES V?

...and thats my two cents.

It can't be DA 2,DA 1 was released 1 year ago.

Well then. We know what that leaves.

I don't think I've ever seen a thread on here with 50+ viewers.

It was 68 just a sec ago. HD tapped out.

Nothing in GI? Not surprising. Quakecon '10 is our next 'shoot for the moon' so to speak?

I hadn't even heard of Trine. I doubt it's big enough to make fantasy fans crap themselves.

Are you kidding? Frozenbyte took everyone by storm with their 2.5D title last year!

And the new castlevania game already got an article in GI recently. Haven't heard about The Last Guardian or Majin recently - those could definitely be considered fantasy, and they are due to come out this year or early next year.

I still think Gothic 4 is a contender here, too. Sandbox open world rpg, what's not to crap your pants about?

Fable 3 was at E3 wasn't it?

*scratches chin* I've lost track of what other games are supposed to come out that I needed to keep track of. D'oh!

There's a total of 80 users in this subforum. I don't think that's ever, ever happened before.

What do you mean nothing in GI? We don't know anything about the next issue yet.

The Last Guardian was ruled out. I don't feel like explaining it again, eh.

I just posted in this thread about why it's unlikely Gothic 4 will be the cover of GI.

While I agree with you that DA 2 probably isn't the cover, it's still possible. Anyway, I thought someone at Blizzard confirmed Diablo 3 wasn't the August cover?

Wasn't it guild wars 2 said to not be the cover?

Its been higher on the modding forum in the past but I hope this current frenzy is deserved.

Well, I mean the Elder Scrolls General Discussion forum. Not any modding forum.

50 users looking at a thread is impressive but we've hit triple digits before. During one of the FO3 press events (a MS show at E3 maybe) there was so much activity the discussion threads were breaking 200 posts in a matter of minutes we had so many people on line at once.

However it's better if we stick to speculating about TES V than commenting about the fact that we're commenting

I'm pretty sure the guys on the gw2 forum ruled gw2 out :jammasterjay:

» Thu Apr 14, 2011 4:15 am

I don't know if someone already mentioned this but Diablo 3 has already been announced. Unless they are announcing a release date or some new game art I doubt it's D3.

Yeah the devs or the owner (someone important) said that it wouldn't be.

Blizzard is far more likely to drop D3 deets at Blizzcon.

RE: Quakecon, if (IF) the GI cover is TESV, the reveal would be a month old by the time we get to Quakecon, where Doom 4 could be the day one feature, and TESV as a confirmed item could be given a few words the second day or something. I don't think they would make it a huge focus either, but Doom 4's likely presence does not eliminate the possibility, especially if TESV's existence is confirmed in early July.

The mods didn't lock the thread...

In all honesty, if I were you guys I'd keep the thread locked until GI drops. All we're doing is commenting that were commenting, commenting on how excited we are, or re-hashing the same information for people who haven't been following the thread.

*snaps fingers*

American McGee's Alice 2. Not at E3, but well into production. Fantasy sequel.
