THE ELDER SCROLLS VI ***Confirmed Xbox exclusive, won't arrive until 2026***

AHHH!

Honestly, i think it probably was put together quickly just to have something to show, but i dont even care. I’m hyped!

No, it wasn't.

It's the best you can do if all you have is a teaser trailer for a game in pre-production after that opening blunder. If they had more to show off they could have led with TES VI, got everyone's eyes on them and excited, rolled out their other stuff, and people wouldn't become impatient because they would know more on TES VI was coming later. So then finish with a closer look at the main game.

Part of me wonders if this was planned, or it was hastily thrown together damage control. The very fact they're having to talk about a "lack of enthusiasm" indicates they didn't understand how to properly generate enthusiasm for those lesser titles.

At the very least...don't open with a huge, tantalizing teaser announcement, "We're going to make an announcement", and then keep everyone on the edge of their seats for half a day just to roll out...Fallout 76. That's the-boy-who-cried-wolf stuff right there.

Water under the bridge, I suppose. All anyone cared about was this.

Now deliver.

The idea is to ascend to the biggest possible announcement. Not start off with it, and have people totally indifferent to the rest (and majority) of your projects, which people give decreasingly less shits about. Nobody was going to care about the Elder Scroll Blades, Elder Scroll Legends, Doom, Quake, etc. if they started off by announcing Elder Scrolls VI, LOL. It's like starting off a UFC PPV with the main event title fight.

But you're a mod, so you win the argument. I'm just relieved you're not in event production.
 
Bethesda had some straight garbage(mobile games, card games) and rehashed stuff(ESO, Prey), and the way their reveals were organized was horrible, but between Fallout 76 and ES6 they delivered on the hype imo

Nobody cares about those titles the way they did it, so your conjecture is speculation while mine is fact.

That's why I win the argument.

They don't even have a title yet, which probably means they just started working on it as of last week.

I'm curious to see if they will raise the bar for open world RPGs like the Witcher did.

Witcher 3 is perhaps the greatest piece of gaming software ever written. I wouldn't expect even Bethesda's Elder Scrolls to "raise the bar." That's asking for the near impossible. Witcher 3 was an 11/10.

Bethesda teases The Elder Scrolls VI

Can’t lead with a game that’s possibly 2-3 years out. Bethesda never shows anything that’s really far out until last nights E3. They have 0 gameplay or in-engine trailer to show so might as well just hit us with the music and logo then bounce.

I think they did it right.
 
When I first saw the landscape and then the TES VI logo, I thought they were about to announce a release date... but then nothing. At least they're finally working on it, I guess.
 
Finally announced but how many more years do we have to wait. I hate when they do this show games years off from release.

Yeah, that approach isn't working so well, is it? They were the butt of this E3 in the press and online social media.

Don't fix what isn't broken, but don't neglect what is.
 
Lmao at opening with like a 10 second landscape trailer. They only did that so Todd Howard and Pete Hines stop getting harrassed on social media about TES VI.

This game is a long way away and only and idiot didn't know a new TES was in the pipeline.

For me at least, its another situation of a gaming company losing touch with its base. I didn't want Fallout 76, I wanted Fallout 5. And really what people want, myself included is Elder Scrolls 6 but Bethesda can't roll out these things because they are too busy working on stuff most of their loyal customers don't give a shit about. So at the end they show a title screen for Elder Scrolls 6 as if that's supposed to make me cheer. The game probably won't be ready for 4 more years MF'ers. It looks like they put that together to make things look better than they are.

Companies get this way and I hate it. Blizzard used to be an awesome gaming company but they get complacent. Fans of Blizzard want Warcraft, they want Diablo 4, they want those flagship titles and instead Blizzard goes and devotes all its time to making shit like Overwatch. Same thing with Bethesda, they forget what got them to the show. Fuck all that other shit Bethesda. You could have made 2 announcements and had the best E3 you ever had. "We've devoted the company to working on Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 and here they are."

Frankly that's what we care about Bethesda, not your mobile app for The Blades. I think you are right, that splash of ES6 was thrown together to try to save face with a large chunk of its customers.

Pretty weak "announcement". Game won't be out for 5+ years. It isn't even the next AAA title they're working on. It's not like people thought they would just abandon the series. Honestly, they should've saved this "announcement" for a few years.

They need the hype. They have to make share holders happy.

I hate Todd Howard so much. Just listening to him speak and looking at him makes me want to punch his face. He has an extremely punchable face.

Feels forced. They know deep down that a huge part of their fan base wants specifically Fallout 5 and ES6 so they threw together a 30 second splash screen type trailer for ES6 to try to save face when they aren't likely even working on ES6 right now. Fallout 76 will most likely turn out to be a game that a select audience plays. Its not my idea of a good time to play Fallout while some dick tries to grief me with nukes. That isn't why I play Fallout. Frankly, I hope it fails to teach them a lesson.

Seriously they couldn't even CGI a dragon at the end or something?

Totally lame and I'm not even a rabid Elder Scrolls fan like some people.
 
Id rather they show nothing than show that. Heres a mobile game nobody wants. Also here's evidence the game you really want it still years away.
 
I said I'll take a frigging title screen and they listened, lol

Shouldn't have even bothered, if all they had was a five second teaser. All it really did was take the wind out of the sails of the mega promotion behind "Fallout 76". 'Twas a bit counterproductive.

That said, I don't think it's going to effect either game's sales. It's just a bit perplexing from a promotional standpoint.
