Today, it has been 6 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser

I hope they're using this time to learn lessons from their Starfield flop and gather the talent and budget needed to improve upon Skyrim. A modern engine probably wouldn't hurt.

However, my expectations are very low at this point.

It's gonna take twice as long as Starfield all to contain the same jank in an even larger, more barren, world where nothing is interesting and you're just going through the motions because that's what Todd Howard thinks games are.

Don't worry, in five years it will launch with the same physics tick rate bug and the dearth of anything interesting that is customary of any Bethesda Game Studios game.

If they take too much fucking longer I'm gonna look for my RPG fix Elsweyr.

They could take 30 years to make it, but it would still be made by Bethesda and it would still suck.

Normally, I would say that I don't care when a game comes out, as long as it's a genuinely good, complete experience. But knowing Bethesda, it'll be another 5 years before we see anything, and then we'll get an embarrassingly buggy title, that hasn't innovated on anything since Fallout 3 came out.

I used to forgive them for anything, knowing that the modding community would just patch things anyway, but we've seen how Starfield was rejected by a ton of people with skills.

The teaser itself is some generic terrain with procedural grass anyone could do in blender in 3h

Just in terms of timeline, Dragon Age 4 was teased at about the same time with the same level of teaser trailer. It's releasing this fall.

So a full modern RPG being fully developed in that time by a smaller studio, and for elder scrolls we haven't heard squat.

Who knows how DA will turn out, but we know modern Bethesda quality thanks to starfield. Not having any news in 6 years proves this trailer was made just to shut fans up

I want to be positive and I'm trying to remain optimistic, but somehow I just know it in my bones that they're going to further Fallout 4 the franchise and strip away even more skills and attributes. Hell, maybe they'll get rid of dialogue entirely.

They just released this teaser to shut everyone up at the time

I used to be a Dragonborn like you, but then I got a fire arrow to my dedicated graphics card.
Now nothing newer than Oblivion will ever run on that machine.

Excited for the special edition of the trailer

Yay, six more years til they release a buggy mess

Well, at least they won't need to make "thousands of planets" worth of "content", so the game might at least look consistent

Still, after Starfaild, my expectation is for TES6 to have something that kinda almost resembles Dark Messiah of Might and Magic's melee combat; only Archery, Melee, Magic and Armor skills to level up; Emil Pagliarulo's "greatest" story yet with double the time travel and multiverse bullshit; twice the amount of stories that get nowhere and that nobody in the world cares about; removal of stealth

Shut up. 6 years!? 👴

It was 5 years and 8 months between the release of Oblivion and Skyrim. Oblivion was released on March 20, 2006, and Skyrim was released on November 11, 2011.

Probably working out how to add stealth archer mechanics to a MTX.

It's just the time necessary to figure out how to create a ladder climbing animation

Got to do better than Star field and come close to BG3 , dark souls, elden ring. Chances are they hit the reset button after it became apparent they couldn't coast on the mod community

After the reviews on Starfield, maybe this is for the best.

You really want to see what shameful AI slop they try to shoehorn into this game? Or how much of it is shamelessly cribbed and rehashed from Skyrim, the last good thing Bethesda ever did? Do you really want to play "Morrowwind But If It Was Designed By Houston's Urban Planning Team?" Enjoy an hour and 30 minute commute to your next quest, plus traffic, you stupid idiots.

Now with a bug patch that's labeled as DLC!

They should just release a new game with the graphical fidelity of Fallout 4, but with better performance and animations. They could probably cut their dev budget in half if they made a game with Skyrim's scope and FO4's graphics.

No one plays Bethesda games for their graphical fidelity so they really need to stop wasting time there.

They can keep it. Bethesda sucks

Meanwhile me with shitty laptop & Skyrim LE be like.... Nah...i don't need that thing bc my Skyrim already perfect

Is there literally a single opinion in this thread that doesn't reek of entitlement and rage?

Anyone else not like the capital E in Elder? Looks like a G.

Can't wait to play this in 2030.

Since they announced that it will be PC and XBOX only- I stopped giving a shit. I refuse to buy a new hardware that once was accessible without having to.

It would not surprise me at all if we are another six years away.

I personally think if something is in pre-production you shouldn't announce it at all.

Wow, I'm feeling old.

Bunch of capital G Gamers in here.

Goddamn.

Gonna have Skyrim on NerveGear before this comes out lol

I remember remarking at the time that they likely didn't have much more than a terrain object and a title card.

Probably still don't.

Didn't they make an MMO in the mean time? It is like asking when Warcraft 4 is going to be released.

So they could release a trailer-perfect version of it today and it'd still be six years outdated.
