I hope not. I adore the Netimmerse / Gamebryo / Creation engine and I hope they continue to use it (and to improve it) for many years to come. I think it is perfectly suited to the kind of non-linear, open-world games Bethesda makes. And when it comes to modding it is the most flexible engine I have ever worked with.

Hopefully not more science fiction crap.

*Good* open world fantasy RPGs are too few and far between for me to accept my favorite studio taking even longer at putting out another TES game.

Elder Scrolls Legend is a card playing video game like Hearthstone from Blizzard Entertainment.

Bethesda.net is a news announcement and other stuffs website for Bethesda Softworks who announces details and new information about the 7 video game development companies that ZeniMax Media Inc. and Bethesda Softworks own and publish video games for like Bethesda Game Studios.

Bethesda Game Studios Montreal is focused on developing RPG video games from the announcement if you read. Todd Howard wanted this. Possibly to split the team to be a little bit bigger to develop their video games faster.

So it has nothing to do with Elder Scrolls Legends. Maybe co developing Elder Scrolls Legends like Bethesda Game Studios Maryland is developing Fallout Shelter, sure.

I hope this is the start of a new era for TES, the biggest BGS development project ever, split in two teams, most ambitious than ever. But knowing my luck this is probably a small game like Shelter or, like someone mentioned, a Prey 2 or something that isn't about TES.

Or it can mean that after Fallout 4 is completed with having all of it's patches released and DLC's and expansion packs sold, Todd Howard will move on to develop a brand new Intellectual Property (IP) of a video game.

Seeing since he said in a interview himself he wants to try something new anyways I think this is what will finally happen and I will be very happy if it does happen. I want to see a Bethesda Game Studios type developed sci-fi open world RPG video game or like some other people said a open world RPG pirates video game.

Naval combat fighting other ships on the ocean, while storms with huge tidal waves come crashing against the ships and cannons firing all over the place from two ships shooting at each other and pirates swinging from the ropes of the sails boarding their enemies ships, with lots of islands where you can go hide your treasure, loot your treasure or use the treasure you have looted to buy items with that treasure.

OMG it all fell into place now: it's going to be Hammerfell!

I think the new team will develop a spinoff Tes game called Redguard. It will be to Tes VI: Hammerfell what Fallout Shelter is to Fallout 4: a smaller, lighter game in the same universe released a few months before the main game, meant to generate hype and presales. May be a mobile game, may be a multiplatform adventure game like Tes adventures: Redguard.

Bethesda has already secured the trademark for Redguard and I doubt it's for the old game that is now available on Gog. Before someone says why would they use the title Redguard, to confuse players with Tesa: Redguard from 1998, when they could just come up with a new name? Well, like Tomb Raider and Thief, it's not uncommon to reboot a game series duplicating the original title. Redguard has a certain musicality, a good marketing appeal, same as Hammerfell.

Oh yeah I just remembered that Redguard trademark from what was it 2013? Which has nothing to do with An Elder Scrolls Legend: Redguard.

So can it really be The Elder Scrolls VI: Redguard being in development or almost completed development from Bethesda Game Studios Maryland giving it to Bethesda Game Studios Montreal with a release for sale date in 2017?

It's most likely in development for sure.

I want to be excited for this but realistically this is likely for some MMO.

Well, I heard from my wife's 3rd cousin, whose uncle knows somebody that shared a drink with the night shift custodian of Bethesda's cafeteria that Bethesda bought the rights to Leisure Larry, and is making a "G" rated modern version of it with talking flowers. Supposedly, the story board advisor is Jack Thompson.

I am not surprised in honesty.. Montreal has a huge number of development studios, making it far easier to hire more people into a company without having to get them to relocate..



Ballowers, please tell me you were aware fantasyjunkie was being sarcastic, and this post of yours I am quoting is just further sarcasm.

Doesn't Montreal have some kind of art funding?

I remember reading months ago the Canadian government funds art and gives money for art and that that is why so many video game developers move to Montreal to develop video games, since video games are considered art.

No I did not know fantasyjunkie was being sarcastic, no I was not being sarcastic either, as of about 2010 I have a very difficult time knowing when people are joking or not joking on the internet. I have been purchasing and playing video games for almost 30 years. When I was a kid the internet did not exist, computers did not exist as Personal Computers (PC's) for everyone at all only for governments. in the 1960's we used to say nineteen hundred sixty instead of nineteen sixty, that should let you know I'm quite old and have trouble with a lot of stuff this decade the new generation says. It does not make me stupid though to not know how to use a computer or the internet or to play video games or to develop video games.

Someone made a reference to the Leisure Suit Larry games. And then someone made a reference to Roger Wilco, a rather famous character from the Space Quest games.
Both series were made by the same company, Sierra.

It was just a joke, for anyone familiar with DOS/Apple games from the mid 1980s. ;)

Oh I see. I should play the Leisure Suit Larry video games some more I have purchased them all that are sold on gog.com and sold on Steam. I played one named Leisure Suit Larry: Magna (Insert word I am probably not allowed to say on the forums) Laude for only about 1 hour back in 2007. I also have purchased all of the Space Quest video games that are sold on gog.com, but I never played any of them ever in my life yet still to this day today.

Here we go again with Ballowers fictional world where Todd is sick of TES ganes and he said this and that...every 6 months you say the same. Like if you were inside Todd's head or smt. Stop inventing things just to fit your perception.

Back to reality: clearly this new studio acquisition means more people working so less gap between TES and Fallout games.
