This. I don't understand the appeal of consoles. They're hardly any cheaper (unless you wait 3 years after they've been out) than a decent gaming rig. It takes years to get an upgrade. The HDD's are outrageously expensive. And games are at least $10 more expensive on consoles. If it's what you like and all, that's cool. But I'm just saying that I, MYSELF, don't understand.

Release a PC version with too much content to fit on a DVD on 11/11/11, delay the Xbox version until it catches up and is able to handle it.

That's my ridiculous fantasy anyway. I know it's not going to happen.

Exactly. Besdies have your even heard any of Tood's interviews. He clearly says Beth wondered wheter they should use next gen consoels or not adn they decided to fully use this gen.

I really don't foresee this happening. It would probably take quite a while to redesign for a new console, and have the PC take advantage of it as well. And of course then you have Sony, which hasn't released anything, or at least nothing that I know of has leaked about the next PS. So I'm pretty sure things will just continue as planned.

PC take advantage of it? We're already WAY far out ahead of the 360. Hell, probably even what's going to be in the "720".

It's way too late in development and it's been 5 years since Oblivion. I don't think Beth can afford to wait another 2 years just to adapt the game to the new console. That's of course assuming if these rumors are true.

What I meant was, if they're able to develope the game differently for console.... eg: more memory available, faster memory, faster processor, etc... Those advances could change and improve the game for both console, and PC.

Ah, I see.

And it would improve the game. Vastly. But I don't think they'd do that. Like I said, they'd be waiting another 1.5 years.

Hopefully they'll get an enhanced GOTY edition out for the "720's" release, so you console players can have better visuals and performance.

I kinda like that they're making Skyrim for the 360. If they wait for the next console (which could be a full year later) they'll just end up with another Oblivion, which won't feel like it's completely part of one generation or the other. If they finish Skyrim soon, that gives them more time to work on the next title, which could be released halfway through the next generation and look fantastic.

That is the main reason why it will be for the 360. Even though Oblivion got GOTY in 2006, the game had flaws, bugs/glitches and other issues. If more time was given for development the game would've been even better then what it currently is right now.

As a PS3 gamer I wish there was a separate release for PS3 rather than the multiplatform releases that are invariably poorly ported from 360 to PS3

Yep... should be exciting. And whats even better is that with F4 being released on the next gen, BGS will have more experience when designing TES6

im fine with 360 maybe they could release a 720 version when its released but id rather have skyrim and wait for TES6

if you think $790 will buy you console and game...after tax and inflation...well then you may be crazy...

You could always save more. It's not that hard when you have a job.

And if it is, like I said before, you obviously have bigger priorities than trying to afford the latest gaming tech.

It's nothing more than a hobby and a luxury. It costs money. It's as simple as that.

I don't think Microsoft will make that mistake again. 400 should be the max when it comes out although that's still too high. Of course this is all speculation and rumor based until they make the announcement whenever that occurs.

you're seriously asking if people want bethesda to delay a game that is being designed with the xbox 360 and ps3 in mind... just so it can be played on next-gen consoles?

...then people would start [censored]ing about skyrim having crappy last-gen graphics and being out of date...

The sooner they release this console the better. It won't affect skyrim, but it means everyone can start to enjoy games at the level they CAN be developed right now. If you've got the $. I'd hate to see the xbox hanging around for another few years, and then see devs designing for "fidelity", leaving those with the hardware twiddling their thumbs waiting for the mainstream gamers to join us in the future.

A great point another poster made, these new consoles are going to be very expensive. Why not come to the dark side of pc gaming for that price? Along with the option of upgrading your graphics card every two years if you so desire? I understand xbox exclusives are very attractive and all, but I've had no shortage of great games to play, and honestly haven't missed anything I regret. And you can always hook up an xbox controller and plug your system into you hd t. If you so desire.

Maybe I will pick up an xbox 360 and all those games I missed in a bargain bin when this new system comes out. I'm a svcker for a good deal .

And they named it: Fallout 4 :hehe:

Xbox 720, eh? It'll be cheaper just to update my comp.

I have to agree, people think that if something's shiny and looks good then it's great for the game but most of the time it's quite the opposite.

Indeed.

Come on, theres no way Bethesda is JUST finding out about this now, odds are they've known about this for some time: they are in the video game industry, at least rumors must have been flying around there. They set the 11/11/11 deadline for a reason, theres no way they'd change it by over a year now. They'd have to totally retool for consoles... not worth it

I'd have to agree. They need to bring back in some money somehow (they do have to pay their employee's I'd imagine, and they have a ~100 person team). Waiting to release Skyrim, and redoing it, wouldn't make sense. And leaving the graphics the same and still waiting for the 720 doesn't make much sense either.

Meh I dont care to be honest
