Fallout 4 or Elder Scrolls 6? Bethesda staffs up for "bleeding-edge" next gen RPGs

Battlecry Studios also advertises for work on "undisclosed AAA PC and next gen console game"

[MrSwankSinatra]

It better be fallout 4.... Or else

[dirigiblebill]

...or else Elder Scrolls 6. I'd kill to revisit Daggerfall.

[MrSwankSinatra]

No.. Fallout 4 or else.....

[Hellsvacancy]

It's Fallouts turn, you've got Elder Scrolls online

[-Foxtrot]

Fallout 4 is next, whats the point in doing another ES, people already have ElderScrolls online coming out. Hopefully with that game they will stay far away from co-op in the main games, I mean look how good Battlespire ended up ¬¬

Anyway

Why would you want to revisit Daggerfall, I want them to go to a place we havent been yet. Since most of the places that are left are kind of small I'd say with new console tec that they have a massive map of two locations.

I would want them to visit Valenwood and Elsweyr, the home of the Woodelfs and the Khajiits, whats great about these two locations if you let us visit both is that you could see a huge difference in the landscape and it would feature a lot of variation in the map unlike Skyrim where it was mostly just snow, snow and more snow.

Lets not forget apparently the two races used to be at war with each other, I think another rising conflict could be the plot of the next game.

Least then the DLC could take us to Summerset Isles which is right next to Valenwood.

[GarrusVakarian]

@Foxtrot

Couldn't agree more about setting the next game in Valenwood and Elsweyr. They border each other too if im not mistaken, so imagine crossing from Elsweyr into Valenwood, completely different environments, that would be amazing.

One amazing piece of DLC they could do if they set the next ES in those regions of Tamriel is to base it on the Elder Scrolls novels (Infernal City/Lord of souls). While they aren't the best books ever written, they would make a great DLC in my opinion.

[-Foxtrot]

@Lukas_Japonicus

Hopefully if they did that it wouldn't be a loading screen to cut across, it would be one huge map...like you would actually see a massive wall with lots of Woodelf/Khajiit soldiers roaming around on them.

If your a Woodelf or Khajiit it would be more easier to get across each one at the start of the game because of special "race" interactions.

Speaking of loading screens, with next gen tec I expect them to make it so when you enter a city through ONE loading screen it loads up EVERYTHING in the city so we don't have to keep going through loading screens to get in/out of buildings or underground places in the city etc

[Reibooi]

I am betting it will be Fallout 4 as the logical thing to do is alternate back and forth between the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Bethesda has to know that crap tons of people are hyping themselves up for it. Not to mention it's been awhile since Bethesda themselves touched the franchise as they didn't make Vegas.

That said regardless of what the game is I am betting it will be awesome. I just hope they focus on more then just raw graphics as they really need to improve animation as well.

[PeaSFor]

Give me Fallout4, if you want Elder scrolls...go play ESOnline for a while and let us get our Fallout.

[nveenio]

I don't care what it is, as long as it's not riddled with bugs.

[UnHoly_One]

"a lot of variation in the map unlike Skyrim where it was mostly just snow, snow and more snow."

You know, except for the entire southern 1/2 of the map where there was no snow at all. lol

on topic, I'd be happy with Fallout 4, but if I had to pick one, I'd choose ES6.

I love them both, so I won't complain either way. :)

[tee_bag242]

I'd love to revist Daggerfall too.

@ Foxtrot

Glad you remembered Battlespire this time. Let's be honest, it's wasn't the coop that made it suck.

[MysticStrummer]

"I'd kill to revisit Daggerfall."

I want the entire continent to be available like it was in Arena and will be in ESO, but I'd rather have 2-4 player co-op than an MMO. Not that Bethesda would be able to handle that kind of coding… : /

Yeah tee_bag, co-op wasn't what made Battlespire suck. Co-op in an ES game could be great, but as I said Bethesda wouldn't be able to handle it on a technical level.

[escott013]

@-Foxtrot

Send a letter to Bethesda for us! I strongly agree with your plot idea. It wouldn't feel boring for a long time because of the variety we would be getting.

On another note, I'd love to see a sort of expedition type plot where the people of Tamriel make another attempt at invading and colonizing Akavir. There is so much mystery to that land.

[VENOMACR1227]

I just want an RPG on these next gen systems. I own an X1, but I think both systems could benefit from an RPG. Like the old school party system type RPG's. Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls would be great, but I'm waiting for a true RPG game. I don't know when one will even be coming out.

[kingdom18]

KH3, FF15? Dragon Age : Inquisition? And many more... If you mean turn based... don't think one will come to the Xbox One anytime soon, maybe to the PS4, actually I if my memory serves me correctly I remember reading about a SJRPG coming to it, so it would have to be turn based and party based.

[UnholyLight]

It better be Elder Scrolls!!!!! Oblivion and Skryim are still someof the best games I've ever played and spent countless hours on. Also can give it credit that it opened my mind to a whole new world of games I had previously thought of as lame or boring.

[tee_bag242]

If you liked them try Morrowind. It's brilliant too. Perhaps even more detailed in some areas.
Anyway you've surely love it if you haven't already played it

[MrSwankSinatra]

No, Fallout 4 or Else....

[UnholyLight]

tee_bag242 I remember my friend owning it before the disc broke. I barely remember anything at all since he only got to show it to me once and that was way back in 2001 or whenever and I was just a little guy back then haha. Unfortunately I never owned an Xbox back then and I have never gone back to try it out for some reason.

[MysticStrummer]

The Fallout games last gen were highly overrated in my opinion, but to each his own. I'd rather have another proper ES than ESO also, though I don't share the ES purist hatred of the co-op idea. I am skeptical that Bethesda could pull it off on a technical level though.

[MrSwankSinatra]

No, Fallout 4 or Else...

[MysticStrummer]

lol

Two dollars…

Get that movie reference?

[MrSwankSinatra]

I want my two dollars (all the other paper boys show up) TWO DOLLARS!!

[TheSaint]

Fallout 4 will be the game that sells me one of the new consoles.

[Gamer1982]

I hope fallout.. Elder scrolls needs to die now that series is getting stale.. Or at least take a long break and come back refreshed with new tech to make amazing AI and better worlds. Fallout could do with getting a buggy free game with decent graphics (outside of PC as mods fixed all issues)

[Double_Oh_Snap]

Wait and see... Won't be long now, Skyrim released in 2011. I would be extremely happy for either. If I had my way though, they would give obsidian the rights to make another Fallout game.

While Todd Howard an company reveal the next ES. That way we get both in a relatively short amount of time.

[Mega24]

Obsidian doesn't want to work with a "Big Publisher" anymore, so they are stepping away from bethesda and other publishers, they think the future is in crowd funded projects.

[KrisButtar]

Bethesda always leap frogs between Fallout and The Elder Scrolls and since Skyrim was the last a new Fallout is coming up. Even though I would like another TES game instead

[Gh05t]

"Always leapfrogs"

Since there is only one fallout game isn't it hard to use "always" I mean you are talking about three games and your saying always?

I believe fallout 4 will be the next game released but still it would at least take another fallout to create a pattern.

[KrisButtar]

TES3
Fallout 3
TES4
New Vegas
TES5

that's the leap frogging I was talking about. maybe always was a bad choice of words but it went that way for a whole console gen. so fallout should be next.

[MidnytRain]

KrisButtar

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion came out two years before Fallout 3 in 2006.

[KrisButtar]

I stand corrected, I was sure Fallout 3 came 1st because TES4 is such an improvement over it.

[ShutUpDonny]

Not if you count Fallout 3 and New Vegas. It was not a numbered sequel, but it was still a full stand alone game.

[DanielGearSolid]

I would die happy if I never hear the words bleeding edge again

[noxeven]

Fallout or a new ip.

[josephayal]

Fallout 4> Elder scrolls

[STK026]

"bleeding edge", does that mean we can have climbable ladders?

[barb_wire]

or loading that goes on in the background, so no transition screens.

[psych]

They need to have transition screens in these games due to the fast travel systems.

It would be nice though.

[NYC_Gamer]

Bethesda needs to invest into a better engine before i even get excited

[Are_The_MaDNess]

aslong as they add better mod support and stability in the engine it self and make it 64bit i am all in no matter what IP it is :D

[AnEwGuY]

They NEED to be working on both...with Obsidian back for Fallout 4.

[Mikefizzled]

BRINK 2 FINALLY EVERYONE CAN CALM DOWN.

[SITH]

lol

[LightofDarkness]

Considering the vast popularity of Elder Scrolls, especially after Skyrim, I'd be surprised if they didn't choose to bring us another ES game next. And while I'd like to see a very different locale like Elsweyr or even somewhere in Akhavir (the Asian mythology inspired continent), the odds are we'll either get Valenwood or Hammerfell. Most likely Hammerfell or High Rock, actually, as these two look "Game Of Thrones-y" and that link certainly would've helped pique peoples' interest in Skyrim.

They'll get to Fallout, I'm sure, but the project will likely be passed off to Obsidian so Bethesda Softworks can focus on the ES series. Why? Because Zenimax like money, and they know Bethesda + Elder Scrolls = lots more money, and they'd like to keep that happening. Fallout is not really as popular as the ES series right now.

[punisher99]

Fallout 4. BUT NO STUPID FREE TO PLAY MMORPG.

[Iltapalanyymi]

I really, REALLY hope its fallout. Hopefully GDC tells the truth.

[Gh05t]

Not trying to hurt anyone feelings but didn't Tod (pretty sure that's the Bethesda softwares leader) say in an interview he wanted to work on a new idea he had.

I could totally see them stuffing TES and Fallout to other developers.

This next section is all hypthetical.

I have a feeling the only reason they have an ESO is because they aren't planning a new TES game. I also think that they are making Fallout 4 because they already started but after seeing how Obsidian handled it I bet they will let an other be developed outside the main studio so Tod can focus on his new idea.I remember the VP or whoever made the comment when Tod says he wants to do something you don't tell him no. I also remember the OLD interviews back when morrowind was coming out they said TES would never be multiplayer. Maybe Tod is tired of it and has the next franchise idea lined up. Not everyone wants to make the same story thier entire career. Even star wars was sold... just saying.

[LAWSON72]

Maybe it will be what I hear casual gamers want, Skyrim 2

[Saryk]

Both, I'd buy both and beat both.

[Lon3wolf]

How about a new franchise ElderFalls 1. In all seriousness either franchise would be good (yes ESO is coming but a SP scrolls would be just as welcome).

[robotgargoyle]

Wiith ESO coming and Skyrim allegedly getting ported to PS4/XB1, i'm betting on Fallout 4.

I hope Elder Scrolls Online doesn't start a trend of mmoprgs on consoles for Bethesda's franchise s.

[Eldyraen]

I have a feeling we will see a Fallout MMO at some point since there was the lawsuit about it at one point. It could had been as simple as wanting to keep even more control over the franchise though.

[robotgargoyle]

oh yeah. Interplay was to make it, just thought it got canned. Wonder if it'll resurface.

Never played an mmo, but I don't want to. While Skyrim and Fallout have their quirks, I believe going memo severely downgrades the visuals.

Skyrim has mods that make it look like a bonafide next gen game. ESO's graphics IMO look underwhelming and a downgrade.

[Chrisgamerguy]

It will most likly be fallout 4. That would make sense since a next gen skyrim port will be coming soon so elder scrolls 6 probably not until 2017

[fossilfern]

Bethesda could barley write a Christmas card never mind a new RPG story.

Be great if Obsidian was given to task to handle fallout.

[fossilfern]

Sorry double post.

[digim0]

This is very, VERY old news:

http://www.idigitaltimes.co...

[H0RSE]

I would rather it be a completely new IP, with the open world aspect of their previous titles. Perhaps a game where magic meets technology, like mages with guns, set in a steampunk universe - like Arcanum did.

Would also like to see a full blown futurist game, like Bethesda's take on Mass Effect.

[--bienio--]

Personaly I love to se new TES6 but if they realese first Fallout 4 im ok with that..

[SpideySpeakz]

F A L L O U T 4

[KillrateOmega]

Fallout 4 and then Elder Scrolls 6.

[coopman300]

Hope it's both, i love both series.

[redtideone11]

I hear fallout 4 isn't coming out tell 2016. the game they are talking about is a new ip

[Davuskus]

I'm hoping for The Elder Scrolls!

[stragomccloud]

I love their games, don't get me wrong, but man are they buggy messes! I can't count the number of hilarious bugged quest/npc stories I have! Good thing console commands can help rectify some of these problems.

[Hartsy]

Fallout 4 we have had two elder games already !

[Elite-uk]

Best be Fallout 4 (playing 3..... again, as i type this, Love it!. :D )
