Official TES V Speculation Thread #88 : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Sun Aug 01, 2010 5:33 am

Yeah, but UC3 is the CG trailer Reiner was referring to.

Nooooo.... As it was said before, the CG trailer was reffering to a joke Reiner shared about a punting game that would have a CG trailer debut at VGAs. Not a real game. Not TES:V. Not UC3.

Yeah but I remember him saying something about a CG trailer right before UC3 was announced.

It doesn't matter if he did. It doesn't go in this topic.

Noooo... Reiner wasn't referring to a CG trailer of any sort, it was joke about "Diamond Chris Kluwe's Magical Punting Simulator 2011"

anyways, I think Elder Scrolls has the best chance of getting the next cover, with a possibility of Thief 4(i doubt) and Half Life 3 (i also doubt)

He didn't say that.

The Feb. cover may or may not have a VGA trailer.

Umm... That's what I said...

Ah. I have been confused by Geoff Keighley's tweet saying that they have more than a CG trailer to show off of UC3. My apologies.

Edit: Breckon's looking at the thread again. Obvious this means that TES:V will be at the VGAs :tongue:

Wishing Breckon would share some words of the wise to calm this thread down a bit... We see you there, Nick!

You said the Feb. cover will not have a trailer/reveal at the VGAs. We don't know that yet.

Maybe I'm not understanding what you're trying to say fully. Sorry if there's a misunderstanding.

Thanks Rohugh! Andrew Reiner posted on twitter a peculiar couple of tweets...

"Andrew_Reiner
The most popular cover guesses are TES: V, Mass Effect 3, and Half-Life 3."

"Andrew_Reiner
Oh sorry. TES is short for The Elder Scrolls."

And then proceeded to talk about Chris Kluwe's magical punting challenge (as a joke)...

Anyways, this is a bit interesting, if nothing else.

--Edit-- ninja'd :toughninja:

Could someone ask him if the cover is one of those three? At least worth a shot.

Well they did drop one thing, Quake Arena Arcade will be hitting XBOX live so they are in an announcing mood which is good for us.

a good sign, anyways...

And i asked Reiner if we were on the right track with those three, D.J., he didn't respond.

Well, at least we know there are still more announcements to come during the VGAs: https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/12881592401797120

Edit, Dooms birthday is Today, that's HUUUGE press and puts bethesda in the limelight.

I was typing what I thought as I thought it. I went on to refute myself.

"So whatever game is on the Feb cover will not have a CG trailer at the VGAs. Of course the way he answered my question didn't really confirm or deny it either way... Maybe it still could. Or it could have a regular trailer... "

Hey, VeryEvilDude, did Breckon ever get back to you about the podcast? I remember you PMed him asking him when it was going to come out.

The chances of TESV being the next cover is increasing, it's unlikely that it is ME3, no one is begging for it, ME2 was released this year and Valve has their hands full of DoTA and Portal 2. Though it could still be a game that we haven't thought of. Someone could ask more questions to Andrew.

I know the CG thing was a joke but Oblivion had a CG trailer, and FO3 teaser was kind of a CG, though it was a render using in game resources.

Don't worry about it. The way phrased it was kind of confusing. Anyway, I tweeted Reiner and asked him if the Feb cover will have a trailer of some sort at the VGAs. Let's see what he says...

Same here. That's another good sign.

Also: Can I count on someone here to post/link to/quote the recap I did a few pages back in the new thread, whenever it gets made? I got my wisdom teeth removed this morning (surgically) so I'm not on often enough to do it myself, but I think it's information worth showing each time we have a new thread.

If the next cover is HL3/EP3 I would expect Valve to be giving hints and such before the cover comes out. That's how they announced Portal 2, and with DOTA2, it was known beforehand as well.

If Valve doesn't give any sort of hints or we don't hear any sorts of rumors about an incoming announcement of the next Half-Life before the cover is revealed, I don't think the cover will be HL3/EP3.

I'll try man, but I'm gonna be at work till midnight, sadly... I'm sure someone else will grab it...

And good point Tissue box, I forgot about the Portal 2 and DotA hints...

Isn't Bioware kind of big on hints too? I know they gave a heads up to everybody before the DA2 cover. Maybe we should pay attention to them too incase ME3 turns out to be the cover.

There was a viral website regarding Half Life some time ago, if I am right it was about Black Mesa also it's hints linked to various videos on YouTube one of them showed a computer generated headcrab in a highway in somewhere like Nevada which is similar to where Black Mesa is located in the game. It was pretty legit as being something made by Valve.

Well, Bioware's hint is the VGA trailer. If it's not Mass Effect 3, then I don't expect the next cover to be ME3.

Hm. If it seemed legitimate, I would think we would have seen it on many gaming news sites. If you can find information about it, I'd appreciate a link.

This is what I am talking about:

Back when it appeared on the internet a lot of gaming sites were commenting on it whether it was a viral website for Half Life 3 or Episode 3 or fan made. I don't know what conclusions they made.

Edit: There is no headcrab on that video, however it shows G-Man.
