Me personally would love to see an ES:online and believe it would bring something new to the mmorpg table. Your more than likely to see an fallout mmo b4 an elder scrolls mmo

i want bethesda to do a boulders gate game.

GammaTru4641d ago

Don't we have enough carbon copy MMORPG's as it is?

I love the Elder Scrolls series. And that's why I would hate to see it as a multiplayer game. Even offline multiplayer or co-op would feel really tacked on. Hell, I hated it in Fable 2/3.

Breostag4641d ago

no thank you. I'll stick with single-player. But an online arena where you could fight against other people wouldn't be so bad. but no mmo plz, we have enough of those.

Tony P4641d ago

What are the main draws of MMOs? Lots of people and a huge world to accommodate them.

TES has had the huge world part down since the first game. So what's special about dumping a bunch of other people in it?

vortis4641d ago

It's showing off your pimping gear? Kicking the arse of loud-mouth braggers and watching them kneel beneath your might?

How about joining up with friends in a guild and kicking the crap out of any and everyone?

MMOs are cool for the same reason people like competitive FPS games and cooperative TPS games. It's like combining a little bit of each genre to make up for something exciting (when done right).

Tony P4639d ago

That's what I get for saying "special" instead of "unique".

You can get that kind of thing with any MMO out there.

Point is, today's MMOs need to bring something more to the table than all those tired tricks. The "uniquness" of a setting is not enough. Better and far more famous franchises than TES have tried and failed hard.

vortis4636d ago

Actually, other than Mortal Online (which is crap) I can't think of another MMO game out there even remotely similar to The Elder Scrolls. Most MMORPGS are grind-heavy, anime-style games with linear character classes and stories.

If they kept everything the same from Skyrim (except for a few restrictions here and there) and just opened up the world for multiple players, it would be pretty tight as an MMO.

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot9d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator8d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin9d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai8d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0078d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer8d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer8d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.
