E3 2011 or Quakecon 2011 is when it will be announced. For a holiday 1999 release. To play it, Todd Harder will travel through time and thousands of miles to a cave in the middle of the Sahara desert where a future computer will wait. He will play and consume the game. 6He will wait, in hiding. He will reemerge in the year 2012. 6He will travel back to civilization. 6He will allow costumers to access his memories containing the game.


Where they will play the game for a limit of twenty minutes. The cost? You gotta join the Todd Harder rebellion.

Except for bethesda has never, never announced a big game at E3, Quake con 2011 means it won't be coming out until 2013 and at that point the current generation of software argument would be kind of mute.

Maybe Eurogamer has seen these threads and lied for the lulz.

Not to be a pessimist, and maybe its part of the messy translation, but...

"this will be a direct sequel to The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion"

maybe just poor wording, but don't we already have confirmation that it's already 40 years past Oblivion (in TIC), using the infernal city and the 2nd novel as a canon? I don't think that quite constitutes as "direct".

It just means that it won't be like FNV or a spin-off. It will be the real Elder Scrolls FIVE we are crying for!

this is whats confusing me, didnt amazon have to pull that info from their page?

That, along with your avatar, made me laugh :laugh:

I think I'll lounge in the camp of people not getting their hopes up too much, but who are sure the game's coming sooner or later, and it'll be worth the wait. The Danish article isn't hard facts exactly, and I'm not sure I entirely believe it, but seeing people in the industry are starting to talk about the game publicly, I wouldn't be surprised if some of it is true. Let's hope it is ....

[C.L.U.T.C.H]

I wouldnt get your hopes up guys. Not trying to be a downer but if you get your hopes up and this doesnt end up having credibility to it, then you guys are gonna be really disappointed. Im speaking from experience.

besides, this tells us, once again, nothing we didn't already know/guess

These two links as already mentioned surely indicate or say that TES V is in production.You may not believe it but doesn't anyone think why any of these websites would lie? And if they get their info wrong on this, they can be expecting a lot of angry ES fans. Anyway its becoming more obvious that TES V is in production. They wouldn't want to make you "feel like you had a new console" for no reason, TES series are meant of show off new hardware and I doubt they would let risk a new IP to show off their updated engine. What I don't get is why Bethesda is so secret about new Elder Scrolls games. We all know that Todd is excited to show his new game, well he better know that if the new game is not TES V then there is nothing to be excited about because ES fans are gonna storm into his office. :brokencomputer: :gun: :swear: Ok I think I should cool down a bit. :facepalm:

There's one part of the article that makes me think this might be another "friend of a friend of mine" case, though:

"P? en rejse med fly i dag sad en af vore redaktionelle medarbejdere ved et utroligt tilf?lde bag en person involveret i spilprojektet."

On a trip by plane today, one of our associates sat, with remarkable coincidence, right behind one of the people involved in the game project.

...

Right -- another coincidence?

[le GraiN]

And if they get their info wrong on this, they can be expecting a lot of angry ES fans

Angry ES fans are produced every day that trickles by without a smidgen of news on ES:V. Production is at maximum. Why would they worry about a few more if it brings in some site traffic? :cryvaultboy:

I am very excited for these announcements though. However, considering the fairly quiet January the gaming industry has going on and the dearth of likely post Christmas announcements, I thought a December announcement, GI January cover and late January/early February release was already the best bet for a pre-2011 fall release?

Anyway, I was already half expecting a January release - this just makes me even more excited

Exactly.

I would imagine that this article has SOME truth in it.

But randomly sitting behind a Beth employee while on your way to meet an anonymous source, who supposedly has info on TESV, sounds a bit too far-fetched.

Nevertheless, the industry is starting to buzz about TESV, it is a good sign.

lol that English transation from the dannish Eurogamer text looks like Yoda's talking. Let's hope it's more than :whisper:

[Amy Gibson]

"On a trip by plane today was one of our editorial staff at an incredible event behind a person involved in the game project."

"Event", if it's an event, I am sure that a bunch of other editors from different websites were there too to witness and start spreading the news. The thing is, Eurogamer.dk released the info a bit earlier.

Tilf?lde doesn't mean event in this context. I'm Norwegian -- we used to be Danish up till a few hundred years ago, and our royal family's even Danish. I should know

Okay then... damn, now that's not cool

Bah, what's with media nowadays? Spreading lies and stupid non-sense.

So what would be an exact translation, or a fairly close translation to English?

Do you want me to translate the whole text? I think I've got time. But there's not much more controversial stuff...

[Mariaa EM.]

Well this summarises.

I have high hopes for this VGA - not had any before now, mainly going by the feelings from people on here, plus the fact that there was no chance they would announce it before FONV.

However, now the only argument that goes against a VGA announcement is that Beth haven't done it before. But that could be because until Oblivion, then FO3, they were never high profile enough before. That cannot be said now.

This news will spread like wild fire, I bet VG247 will be the next to pick up on this as they are pretty good at picking this stuff up, and it's timing seems a little to strange.

Here's my own translation of the Danish article -- hopefully it's a bit more adept than google translate


Bethesda Sotworks have started working on the next game in the Elder Scrolls series. Eurogamer Denmark has experienced (as in found out) this today.

On a trip by plane, one of our editorial staff (okay, maybe not associate... doesn't really matter) sat behind, with remarkable coincidence, one of the people involved in the game project.

He didn't just confirm the RPG's initiated production, but also [made a brief statement] on the contents -- there's some fantsy-ish words like Dragon Lord, something about Blades, and that the voice acting of the game is being taped these days (actually weeks).

The same source confirms, with the official game documents in hand, that this will be the DIRECT sequel to Oblivion, which is the latest game in the now 16 year old Elder Scrolls saga, and in itself is one of the best games for PC and consoles in later years.

We present here only what we have seen and heard, and we of course respect that there is an NDA agreement for all involved, which is why we have chosen not to illuminate clearer details about the flight, the writer of this article, or the identity of the source that gave us these sparse first facts about the game.

But the sequel to Oblivion is coming, this we can say without a doubt. And it's been a long time since we wrote [about this] in 2006, isn't it?

If the formats Oblivion was released for are any clue, we're speaking of a release for at least PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
