Arcane studios has joined zenimax and, it is confirmed that they are working on a game with bethesda.

No, it has not been confirmed. You have been confused. Bethesda Softworks is publishing Arkane's game. Bethesda Game Studios is not working on a project with them.

I will NOT play an Elderscrolls MMO. I don't want anybody screwing up my game but ME. Let's hope the aquisition was just for combat enhancement.

[Hayley Bristow]

I was definitely dissappointed by the GI cover, so this isn't looking out too good for me.

BUT! I have an idea, say they do make an MMO (which I seriously would hate them to go in that direction) and it flops, interactive BGSForums anyone? :shifty:

If a TES MMO will come out, it will be by Zenimax Online. And I couldn't give a rat's ass if Zenimax Online makes a TES MMO as it wouldn't interfere with TES V. We don't have to worry. BGS has said that they only make single player games and won't make MMOs.

[Motionsharp]

Todd Howard and his team at BETHESDA GAME STUDIOS do NOT make MMORPGs. Pete Hines does not work at Bethesda Game Studios, who make games. He works at BETHESDA SOFTWORKS, which publishes games. If Pete Hines says that they are working with a game developer, it probably means that Bethesda Softworks is publishing something from them.

I know this is completely and utterly futile, but I hope that this clears things up.

edit: See? I even made the company names different colours to accentuate the difference.

[Robert Bindley]

or i can again (2nd time this thread) quote the first post:

Note that Bethesda Game Studios is NOT working on Fallout: New Vegas, Rage, Brink, or Hunted: The Demon's Forge -- Nor do they develop MMOs.

How many times do people need to be told.

[Jack Bryan]

To be honest, I don't think we will see an announcement until at least 2011. Time to hibernate.

It's not your game, it's not away from you in any way and no-one forces you to play it. *facepalm*

He means that's the beauty of a single-player TES game. It feels like your game, completely. You create the character, you make the decisions about how to live and succeed in the world, and then there's the mods to personalize even further. In a TES MMO there would be no mods, and you would be sharing this world that has a uniquely personal touch with thousands of players, most of whom will be throwing around leet speak and asking why there are man cats and man lizards in the game. I agree with him completely.

On topic though: Todd's presentation (although shared with other speakers) is later today. Let's hope they leave a lot of room for Q+A, and cross our fingers for some TES enthusiasts in the crowd. I highly doubt Todd will bring up his current project himself, so I think we're relying on the audience to press him on that topic.

Hey guys, first post on here. I was replaying Oblivion the other day when it dawned on me that it had been 4 years since that game was released. Having looked for any info on any possible TES V i have of course come to nothing but dead ends so i join you guys in waiting. Hope that we at least get a tidbit later today.

Hey, welcome to the boards! There's a very long and rich history of discussion and speculation surrounding TES:V. My best advice to you is to read this thread's first post closely and read through the past threads. Yes, I know it's tedious but it will save you (and us) the headache of rehashing outdated discussions.

So pull up a seat, wring your hands, and strap yourself in for the wild ride we call TES:V speculation. :icecream:

Can I come with?

Yup. I'm just looking for a suitable rock to sleep under. :snoring:

I'm expecting people to pressure todd after his speech at 11. But 11 has passed and the livestream hasn't started....

Hmmmmm...

edit: central time = in another hour doesn't it...

[Donatus Uwasomba]

Todd. Look into my eyes, Todd. Look deep into my eyes. You're feeling sleepy, oh so sleepy. When I've finished counting to ten you'll be entirely relaxed and will have an urge to tell me everything you know about TES:V. Don't worry, this is normal. Just tell me everything Todd, it's okay. When I click my fingers you'll awake feeling refreshed and will have no recollection of our little conversation.

Ya, we still have another hour, depending on how long the speakers are infront of him.

[Sasha Brown]

ARRGH! Time zones are confusing me! So he might announce it by 17:30 GMT?

[Jennifer May]

I think it starts at 6pm for you and me. Cool avatar btw.

Sorry, 5pm

[Amanda savory]

[*Chloe*]

I hear only music in the live feed so far. There were voices.

[Jessica Stokes]

Hearing this music, there's no way TES V is being announced lol

[Mario Alcantar]

I hear only voices in the live feed so far.

Yeah, I did earlier. Now it's only some metal song.

Where's the video?!

[le GraiN]

Bethesda please announce tes v now we have been waiting for years.

[Anna Beattie]

i'm assuming they've opened the doors and are now allowing people to sit down.
