Elder Scrolls for next gen consoles

Bethesda should reissue the complete series of elder scrolls for the Xbox One and PS4, give these great games even greater graphics!

Much prefer them to make a new game than waste time completely reworking the old games, especially as some of them would need extensive recoding just to work on consoles.

For example, Daggerfall and Arena both require Dosbox. Which is why the recent Anthology release was only on PC.

Has much as id love too play morrowind with better graphics without mentioning a certain work in progress if beth remade those games t would ruin all off our memories playing them like jumping all over morrowind to increase your agility or trying to hack a cliff racer to death with a crappy iron sword or coming face to face with your first werewolf the graphics might be outdated now but they were beautiful back then.

An when tes 6 is released please be set in the black marshes but people will end up asking skyrim to be remade mind you i got a feeling we wont see tes 6 for another 4 to 5 years if not longer.

would be nice to get more official dlc for skyrim though but even that wont happen.

I would rather want them to work on a new awesome game, rather than working on a games that have been out for years.

That's what pretty much everyone else also wants.

Yes a new game would be awesome but I don't think it'll be coming out for a long time.

Yeah the Elder Scrolls have been out for ages but what about the younger fans that weren't around for Arena and Daggerfall? Yes it would take a lot of work for them to run on consoles but if it did happen I think heaps of old and new fans of the series would pay big bucks for them.

If you have a a computer that can access the internet, it'll run Daggerfall and Arena fine (Both of which are free)

And as for 'a lot of work', you don't know the half of it. Both games would have to be basically rebuilt from scratch, they are on a far older engine (That is still fairly solid) that makes Morrowind's engine look like Unreal Engine 4 at times. They wouldn't be able to port anything over, everything would have to be made from scratch.

There's also the fact that Daggerfall's world alone is absolutely massive. To put it in a new engine would take so long that they could have put multiple new games out in that time.

Plus remakes always lose something over the original. I'd be much happier playing the original than a remake that lost it's soul for some shiny new graphics.

Hey I never said it would be easy okay? Just that it'd be awesome. I know I just said 'a lot of work' but I DO know it would take much more than a lot of time and work to get it done.

And about the first two being free I have got them and I have played them but I'm an Xbox girl and I love my controller far more than a keyboard and mouse

I personally wouldn't mind remastered TES, spin-off TES adventures, etc as long as they're developed by other studios. I want Bethesda Games to work exclusively on the next installment of the main series. The waiting is too long as it is because of Fallout, I don't want other distractions. Besides, with remasters there's always the risk they change more than graphics, they change some gameplay mechanics to bring it "up to date" and the games lose some of the original flavor.

I can already see them ragequitting as they realize Arena doesn't exactly play like Skyrim-just-in-another-place.

I'm beginning to think we need a special forum for these posts.

This is a very bad idea, but luckily Bethesda doesn't have time for this.

Most of today's generations of gamers would have no idea what to do with the lack of handholding in these earlier games. They would cry when faced with Daggerfall's complexities about the littlest details. (ninja'd by Rosveen up above). They would be terrified by the primitive graphics in TES 1 and 2. The answer 'well just reboot the graphics' won't work. Bethesda is always incredibly busy with whatever game they're working on lately; they're not going to just drop this activity to please a few harder-core fans such as yourself.

I get what you're saying, but if I were you I'd try to find a computer that'll run these games instead of begging Bethesda to get them on latest-gen consoles.

You can get a controller to work on PC, even for Arena and Daggerfall. I've done it, and it I can do it, anybody can. Just PM me if you ever want any help. :user:

Whereas I think it'd be neato to see Morrowind especially all redone and awesome looking on the PS4, the comment made above is where I stand as well.

I hate to see that. People should just install mods on PC game versions and enjoy them as a next gen version.

Seriously, why Morrowind should be remaked? We have OpenMW that rewrites the source code and we'll get many awesome mods for Morrowind.

And how remade Morrowind would work? Just better graphics, or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUXiwNSkpYA?

Even if it's just new graphics, I would hate it. First, because there's overhaul pack, if someone doesn't like it he can pick mods manually. OpenMW will allow us to add new graphic features as well new gameplay possibilities.

And if Bethesda changes something in game's code, mods will stop working because new script errors.

Daggefall recreation (DaggerXL) is also in works.
