lol, Bethesda making Fallout 3, which is like Fallout, but like Oblivion..

The next installment is tentatively titled The Elder Scrolls V. Development will begin on the game after Bethesda completes work on Fallout 3

And that will be another 5 years after Fallout... so 2013 I guess.
 


Noooo, it was hard enough to wait for Oblivion after I finished Morrowind. :cry:
 
I just sent an inquiry to Bethesda... we'll see if they answer (usually does). I'll edit this post with the response (if any).

UPDATE: Here is the official response I received from Bethesda:

Right now all we're talking about is Fallout 3. I think it's pretty safe to assume we'll do another game after the success of Oblivion, but when that will be or when we'll be talking about it is TBD.

In other words, "it's our little secret" :kaola:
 
Well tey have to design another useless and anoying graphics engine first that need rediculous amount of computing horsepower just to let it run......badly....dont even think about it running on your pc your on now.

As for the next one coming out, i would say before the next 10 years.
 
I'd predict that the game might come out PROBABLY in 2011-2012; that would give them 3-4 solid years or so from the release of Fallout 3, which appears to be occupying >95% of their time, people and resources. Needless to say, this won't be a game that will appear on the current crop of consoles; this will be in the first couple of years of the 8th generation of consoles; i.e, the Playstation 4, next Xbox, and whatever the heck Nintendo decides to call the successor to the Wii.

Think about those of us that waited from Daggerfall (1996) to Morrowind! Learn to have a little patience, please. 😛


I haven't the foggiest idea where you could've gotten that. Well, not from anyone actually at BethSoft, since they've been pretty solid and repetitive in their "we're talking about Fallout 3 now."


This sort of whining irritates me. Oblivion runs fine (read: smoothly on ultra-high with tweaks to put it above that) on my computer that's 2 years older than the game.

That, and BethSoft doesn't make their own graphics engines anymore: they've licensed GameBryo (formerly NetImmerse) for both Morrowind and Oblivion; the latter was just a newer version, akin to going from Unreal 2.0 to Unreal 3.0.
 


I would really like to see that. Oblivion came out in 2006, so you are saying that with a CPU and GPU from 2004 you can run the graphic at Ultra Hi. :hello:

good boy, he can count!
 
Just before my interview with Pete Hines (VP of Marketing) in Chicago during the Oblivion Press Tour for my old gaming podcast, I had asked about a sequel to Oblivion. Pete had said that of course they'd be working on a sequel. It probably won't be called Oblivion 2 though.

Keep in mind, they're a decent sized company. They had people working on Fallout 3 before Oblivion was done, and they probably have people doing the ground work for ES5 if it's not already done. There was also a rumor that they were pursuing a Elder Scrolls Online MMORPG.
 


If it's Oblivion with multiplayer i'd be down with that.
 

Yep. Technically, my CPU's actually from 2003, (as a Socket 754 Athlon64) though I built the machine in spring 2004. The graphics card is a Radeon X800XT, which performs curiously well in the game. (i.e, comparable to the top-end GeForce 78xx/79xx cards)


Something called that would actually make me lose all faith I had in the company... And it's a faith that's stood countless tests.


Not BethSoft, but another of Xenimax's studios, as I recall; Vr2lOnline, or something like that. No mention was made of it as an Elder Scrolls title, but it was aired that they were doing consideration of an MMO. It could also be a possibility that they're waiting (and assuming) for Interplay to fail on their obligation for a Fallout Online, and will snatch that up.
 
I've had a similar experience.....socket 939 Athlon 64 FX-55, eVGA geForce 6800 Ultra 256MB video card, 2GB DDR Corsair TWINX-PRO RAM, Audigy X2 Platinum Pro sound, and SATA hdd's and I can run it max with all of the high-res texture packs and graphics tweaks. It does lag a bit in dense forests during battles with multiple foes.


It's not at all far-fetched. All it takes a modest amount of computer hardware know-how.


Btw, TES afficionado here. Played since 1997 (DF of course). If Beth turns this into a MMO I'd be extremely shocked and upset. So would my wife. If they want to spin off another franchise, I'd understand that, and it would even make sense to me, but converting TES into an MMO would ruin the game and alienate the vast majority of their fanbase (who VEHEMENTLY oppose such a move....just read their forums!). TES is a game that would be ruined by online play. It should stay offline or just die a quiet death. This is not to say that a spinoff game wouldn't work (I'm sure it would do okay at least early on.....long-term success is hard to predict with no knowledge of the details).


They are working on TESV, and have been since OB was released, even if only in a very small capacity. It will come....just be patient. I'm sure we'll hear something later this fall after FO3 is released.
 
i played oblivion on my old gamer box. p4c800-e deluxe mobo, P4 2.4C, 2 gigs of Geil Gold Dragon, an old ATI 9800PRO 128, and a WD 7200 SATA HD. The graphics were turned up very high with a few minor tweaks and ran just fine.
 
If I remember correctly my older computers back then could run it at the highest settings except for AA and AF. Really, while the face textures were ugly, it did a good job with the hardware.

I don't see why Elder Scrolls wouldn't work as an MMO. It already plays a bit like one. All I can imagine is that most of the people objecting so vehemently never played an MMO.
 
I have only played Oblivion with the Shivering Isles add-on an i LOVE the game! It's intense! but i also plaed Two Worlds, andgot lost an tried to goonlin but the server was so bad that no one could move let alone fight...but if the 5th Elder Scrolls comes out to be a MMORPG or MMO than i won't even try t go online with it...I hated Two Worlds, and if the nex one is like that...all laggy and lame and not easy to follow along with (for anyone who has played Two Worlds)...i just don't wanna see a whole 3+years got to waste on another stupid crappy game....DOUBT IT WILL HAPPEN THOUGH! :)
 
I really hope that they don't make it a mmo there are already alot of those and far too few good single player rpgs that have the scale and freedom offered in the Elder Scrolls games (just my opinion)
 
anyone who has played two worlds and oblivion... which is better... I have played two worlds and liked it... but I am wondering if I should get oblivion
