>So says Todd in a recent chat with IGN, where he reflected that, yeah, since Bethesda announced it was working on a sixth Elder Scrolls all the way back in 2018, he's changed his attitude towards announcing things a little. >But given he can't put that genie back in the bottle, he jokes that we should all "Just pretend we didn't announce it. Doesn't exist. No one's heard a word.">This is, just to reiterate, a gag, and Todd Howard has not suddenly forgotten he announced The Elder Scrolls 6, but it is emblematic of his Big Philosophy Of Game Announcements. "When you go and press play, you're about to play a game. What do you already know? What's in your head? What's your excitement level? What's your expectations? And I back up from there. I prefer not to talk about stuff until then."https://www.pcgamer.com/games/the-elder-scrolls/todd-howard-would-really-have-preferred-not-to-announce-the-elder-scrolls-6-a-full-8-years-ago-sounds-like-just-pretend-we-didnt-announce-it-doesnt-exist-no-ones-heard-a-word/

>>735174938fuck todd! skyrim sucks shit!
>>735174938My King
>>735174938Bethesda needs to start licensing out their major IPs if it takes them more than a decade to put out a single game
>>735175325Saarfield is what happens when you outsource.
has Microsoft, in your gaming lifetime, ever released a game you actually cared about?
>>735175427or New Vegas
>>735175530NV is a copy-paste of existing assets.
>>735175606So? Imagine if they licensed out a new Fallout game that reused FO4's assets. We might have gotten another decent Fallout game by now instead of the endless pit of sunken resources that FO76 has become
>>735175759Not gonna fly in 202X.
>>735174938>12 second teaser>never had one single info about ityeah that's what we're doingi actually don't even think they are developing it
>>735175325Obsidian offered to offer some NV typr spin-off TES games back in the day but they'd rather keep TES fans entertained with shit like ESO and castles instead
>>735174938i mean yeah they said that 6 years ago dumbass
>WHY>WON'T>YOU>PLAY ESO
>>735175427Starfield was in-house though. There's no hope for ES6. Skyrim was their last good game, and F4 was their last playable one.
>>735175427Starfield is good now, in precisely 20 days
>>735174938Announcing a multibillion dollar franchise is going to get a sequel is pointless anyway, like what else did anyone expect. That they'd just let the series die?>"When you go and press play, you're about to play a game. What do you already know? What's in your head? What's your excitement level? What's your expectations? And I back up from there. I prefer not to talk about stuff until then."based. I prefer not to talk, or even see anyone talk, about a game until I've already finished it. I also avoid as many trailers as I can. All I wish to know of a game before I play it is its release date.
gib khajiit
>>735174938all they gotta do is drop a bland vague story, good enough for the community to mod into something decent. these games always worked better with books hinting at shit instead of showing everything, exploding everything, spoonfeeding everything, let the whole map speak for itself.its gooing to sell anyway, just dont try so hard it turns into cringe slop with an obvious agenda. shit like that rots before it even launches and the motivation to mod a piece of shit will be much lower, like starfield, no one comes back to starfield, even with the mods, and the modders themselves abandon it because why even bother.keep it simple, leave room for imagination, let the autists cook, win. i'd prefer another fallout instead though.
>>735174938>8 years since it was announcedYeah, it's in dev hell
lol after fallout tv show success (shit show) microsoft forced them to crank more fallout. we arent getting tes6 for 20 years.
>>735177979more like sinced starfield sucked and fucked they had to redesign ES6 since it probably borrowed a lot from starfield
>>735177979They didn't start developing it until after starfield released retard. The teaser was just to soften the blow of 76 and make Bethesda look more valuable to investors.
>>735177979they literally didn't begin development until 2023
>>735174938JUST
>>735180841WORKS
