Is TESV going to be multi-platform?

Post » Sun Feb 13, 2011 7:18 pm

I'd like to see it on PC first then being put out for the consoles instead of downsizing it for them like OB did.

Getting it on PC first could allow a bigger world in the sense that it would have more "room" for things.

Technically, theres nothing to truly prove that there is going to be an ES5. But, Bethesda wouldn't just abandon a huge cash-cow like TES.

So, basically screw the console players? You just called out a lot of people. A 360 can handle large games, dude.

Why even make the game for the pc? The pc users are the ones who complain all the time.

To clarify, I'm not knocking consoles or anything.

I'd like to see it finished when Beth is ready, instead of being hounded by the console companies to hurry up and releasing it with a shrunk down game them releasing DLC for it five or six months later.

Umm, no. If anything it would be for the Xbox 720, its coming out soon and TESV hasnt even been discussed yet.

Also, PC is a big problem for anygame. For 1, it crashes 1000% more than any other way to play games. For 2, you need a certain amount of ram and even when you do it lags like f---ing hell! And also it is mainly used for MODS and CONSOLE

Its for cheating basically, other than that why get it for the pc? XBOX almost never lags unless you do something stupid like A. Scratch your disk or B. Dupe a shield 2000 times with the scroll glitch.


EDIT:
Also, sony said they are making a PS4, and XBOX 720 is coming out soon, in 2011-2012, and Microsoft and Apple JUST ANNOUNCED they are in-fact, making the PC2, yes. The second PC EVER, because there has only been 1.

Oh and nintendo said they are making Wii2, its going to be named "Us" lol, thats a joke. But its going to be made

so the things you just listed are already outdated.

honestly, the only reason why PC players dislike console versions is cuz they can't mod the game till there's nothing left of the original game itself.

i prefer consoles over PC. i can never afford and good enough PC. i hate using keyboard controls. and i have no interest in using mods.

but anyway. it's almost guaranteed to be 360 and PC, with a high chance of it bein for PS3 as well since Oblivion did, for whatever reason.

ONCE AGAIN
PS4 in production
Xbox 720 in production
Wii 2 in production
PC2 in production (This is a joke, others arent)

So no, it wont be for the 360, or the PS3
stop saying it!

TESV will probably be very advanced, it will take a long time! So even if its production started now, it would be finished after all those new systems are out.

Sorry, while they may be in development, they are not in production (English isn't my first language of course, but I do think I'm correct). And do you realize how long it takes to develop a console? It's ridiculous. You have no idea when the next consoles will be released.

Eh, and how do you know it hasn't been worked on for quite a while? Most people here agree it has.


I personally believe it will be for the 360, the PS3, and the PC, though I can't say I'm certain.

Well. For 1, TESV hasnt been discussed, its not coming in the next E3 and it is written in stone that in 2011 or 2012 Xbox 720 will come out.
Also, they said in the documentary for oblivion that they were making it for the systems that werent out yet so that they wouldnt be behind with all the other games.
So I still say I am certain that it will be for next generation systems

And also. Dont split hairs, I wasnt being so literall with "development."
they will be released probably... well im not sure how to say it so Ill explain it like this

This E3------------Next E3------------E3 After That

between the next E3 (not the "up coming" one) and the one after that. They will most likely be released. And be expensive :P

Well, there is a big factor of the possibility for it being for the sega dreamcast.. So we will have to find out.

Microsoft just released a new version of the Xbox yesterday, and things like Kinect and Move are still brand new as well. The companies are going to milk these technologies dry before they release a new console.

People keep saying consoles hindered Oblivion, but tell me, who had a PC capable of handling more than Oblivion's high settings(look at what PC users got) back in early 2006?

Well, there are serious rumors for it being revealed in the coming months, actually. Not that I'm certain it will, but it's certainly very possible.

and it is written in stone that in 2011 or 2012 Xbox 720 will come out.

Please show me this stone, because I haven't seen it. Like Lady Nerevar said, they are still milking the 360. Please supply evidence for your claims.

Also, they said in the documentary for oblivion that they were making it for the systems that werent out yet so that they wouldnt be behind with all the other games.

A valid point I guess, but certainly not conclusive. All it proves is that it's not impossible to develop games for a generation of consoles that doesn't exist yet. It doesn't mean they'll do it again (as it seems the 360 for example will live on for a long time, despite your claims).



Also, I'm absolutely certain it will be multi-platform. While it is possible it'll be released for the next generation consoles and not the current ones, that doesn't mean it won't be multi-platform.:)

move that conversation to the speculation thread or you'll get this thread shut down.

It will definatley be muli-platform especially since PS3 can handle more than most PC's. X-box might drag us down but it is continually revamped and by the time TESV comes out the average 360 might actually be awesome.

I'm looking forward to it on Mac as well as Windows, since Macs gennerally can handle more and because Pete Hines hinted to it in his interview somewhere that I can;t find. It was something about his "admiration of the hardware" and how they now have the software to do it easily because of the Id soft purchase by Zenimax.

It's not the graphics so much as the interface, which had to be ridiculously clumsy to support a controller instead of a mouse/keyboard.

Oh and nintendo said they are making Wii2, its going to be named "Us" lol, thats a joke. But its going to be made

so the things you just listed are already outdated.

:banghead: I don't know where to start with this post. So I'll just work my way down.

First, Microsoft will not abandon the 360 unless Sony or Nintendo make the jump to the next generation. Considering that Sony and Nintendo have been bragging about the longevity of their consoles for the past 3 years, it's not likely either of them release a new console soon. Why would Microsoft make Kinect a failure before its even had a chance? Allowing prices to drop can only work in Microsoft's favor. The PS3 and 360 are relatively equal in price range with the Wii being the cheapest by far. However, Nintendo can only drop prices so far until they stop making a profit. The Wii's two advantages are that it's cheap and it's family friendly. Inverting Move into the PS3 and Kinect to the 360 take away one of those advantages. Allowing gradual degradation of prices will eliminate the Wii's other advantage. The cost to make a PS3 or 360 is pennies more than a Wii, yet the Wii is an inferior piece of technology. This generation won't end until Sony and Microsoft have taken their fair share of cash away from Nintendo.

Second, TESV isn't announced but is almost assured to be in production. Fallout 4 would make no sense as it would only compete against New Vegas. Their only other IP happens to be the Elder Scrolls. An MMO would be handled by the folks at Zenimax Online Studios and an TES Adventures game wouldn't take nearly this long. So we can assume that TESV is in production and has been for quite awhile.

Next, a PC is the most stable platform when done right. However, there are millions of different configurations for PC's and game designers can't optimize the game properly to each configuration. The reason that consoles are on average the most stable is that the hardware of every 360, PS3, or Wii is exactly the same as every other 360, PS3, or Wii (with the exception of varying hard drives, etc.). The fact that you say that the 360 never lags is hilarious. More so than then calling all PC gamers cheaters. Have you even played Oblivion? Don't tell me that as you switch cells while traveling through the forest that the game doesn't lag and show a "Loading..." message on top of the screen. Have you ever played the Shivering Isles? Every once in awhile a big fight between Knights of Order, monsters, and zealots occurs and the game lags like a [censored]. Any decent PC can run circles around a 360 or PS3. Just look at Crysis 2 vs. Crysis. Crysis 2 is being released 3 years after Crysis on the consoles. Yet PC Crysis looks WAY better than Crysis 2 on the 360.

Lastly, stop making up [censored] about stuff that you have no clue about. Of course Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony are all planning a new console. But they won't be out for a few more years. Team X-Box started making the 360 as soon as the original X-Box was released. Even then, it was 5 years later that the 360 was released.

Well. For 1, TESV hasnt been discussed, its not coming in the next E3 and it is written in stone that in 2011 or 2012 Xbox 720 will come out.
Also, they said in the documentary for oblivion that they were making it for the systems that werent out yet so that they wouldnt be behind with all the other games.

Time for this post. :flamethrower:

So you start to sling more crap. TESV not at the next E3? If it's not at E3 2011 that would be because it would have already been released. If it's not released by next year's E3 then it will be there. How the hell do you expect Bethesda to stay afloat if they're not releasing games? Do you think they're running some kind of underground counterfeit money scandal? Sooner or later they have to release a game and it will be at the latest holiday season 2011. Written in stone that the next X-Box will be released by 2012? It wasn't even written in stone that Project Natal would be called Kinect until yesterday and your 'inside source' (aka your rectum) tells you that the next generation will start in less than two years? If Bethesda ever said that the next TES game would be on a new generation of consoles than it would have been based on the average lifespan of consoles. But this generation isn't following that lifespan. Motion controls and the introduction of casual gamers have extended the shelf life of consoles.
Hopefully they do what they did with Morrowind (Release for PC then Xbox) instead of vice verse (like Oblivion)

Oblivion was released on the PC and 360 at the same time.
