https://www.gamesradar.com/games/the-elder-scrolls/xbox-ceo-says-her-live-playthrough-of-the-elder-scrolls-6-shows-incredible-scale-but-the-story-is-even-greater/>Xbox CEO Asha Sharma suggests she's just played, or at least watched, a "live playthrough" of The Elder Scrolls 6.>"Live playthrough of The Elder Scrolls VI: ******** this morning," Sharma says offhandedly in a tweet. "The scale and grandeur are incredible. The story is even greater." (https://x.com/asha_shar/status/2087258678000779664)>This "live playthrough" will presumably have been a milestone presentation shown to Sharma and possibly other Xbox executives by the development team at Bethesda, likely including chief Todd Howard, but we can't say for sure what the exact environment was like or how far along the demoed build is.>In June, Xbox CCO Matt Booty assured fans that, some eight years since its reveal, The Elder Scrolls 6 is "coming along well." He also joined Howard in the illusion that a game can be un-revealed, or at least revealed twice.>"I can tell you, having visited Bethesda and sat with Todd and seen 'Elder Scrolls' playing, it looks amazing, and it's coming along well," he added. "And we'll make sure to announce it and really reveal it at the right time.">The Elder Scrolls 6, like the pre-production Fallout 5, uses Creation Engine 3, which Bethesda says "extends beyond our teams to the technology, tools, and systems that will power the next generation of Bethesda RPGs."
>>745178970>Creation Engine 3doa
tes6 is my most anticipated koikatsu-like
Classic chivalric fantasy HIGH ROCK confirmed
this company tried their best and made Starfield
>>745178970They probably made AI slop and she believed it.
>>745178970lol is this another Anthem situation where they built a very specific vertical slice and then it ended up dictating the entire course of the game for the rest of development?
>>745178970The fact the CEO of XBox feels the need to publicly soothe everyone's fears tells me it is in fact not incredible.

>>745179086tes6 modding will be locked down to shitthey'll do what blizzard did with reforged and make it so they automatically own anything you make which will necessitate them enforcing restrictions on what you can do so they won't be breaching copyright when people mod in stuff from other IPs and shit
>>745179809Delusional, Bethesda's filled with nerds who want modding to thrive.
>>745179086more like most anticipated western kusoge
>>745178970>Hey here’s this game that isn’t coming out for 4 more years
>>745179910why would they get a say in it
>>745178970>Story is even greaterEasy way to tell they're talking shit
>>745178970Given the earlier news of when they started development and the Xbox Give Me A Fucking Game announcement something is fucky here. Either this is blowing smoke up everyone's ass to look good for investors (they 'turned it around in record time'), or they were working seriously on this longer than they've said, or like other anon suggested it's Todd blowing smoke up the ass of his boss by some mini-world proof of concept.
I'm looking forward to TES6 not because of I want to play it, but rather because I want to see what sort of bugs there might be at launch. It's always an event to see bug compilations for Bethesda games.
>>745179991Bethesda is one of the fastest developers in the industry and at this point they had 3 years of dev time on TESVI, they'll release it in 1-2 more years.
>>745180151They supercharged the dev time by having AI script the 'story'. I swear on me mam, you know it's what Todd would do and what Microslop would endorse.
>>745179514well it's probably due to the fact that this game was announced 8 years ago and they're probably getting annoyed by people reminding them of that
>>745180278you're just making shit up at this point dude
>>745180324Yes? Are you fucking retarded?
>>745178970Fantastic news. A company ceo says their new product is the best one ever.Why are retards allowed on this site?
>>745179910>Bethesda's filled with nerds who want modding to thrive.loving every laugh. Go look at Starfield's dismal modding scene and try to hold on to that optimistic idea. It isn't just because the game is shit and no one is playing it; they purposefully kneecapped modding so that they could give preferential treatment to whitelisted mod authors, see Watchtower. It's going to be the same shit, modding in TESVI is going to be an uphill battle for any modder who doesn't have an in with Bethesda.
>>745180440The important bit here is that it's playable enough for the head of XBOX to see a good demo of it which means we might be seeing gameplay as early as next year.
>>745178970Reannounced on 11.11, with a scheduled launch of 11.11.33.
>>745180668I have to assume you're under 20 and have the bright eyed optimism that I used to have when I was so young but here's a hint: when a CEO puts out a press statement, if there's no direct evidence of what they're saying, then they're blowing smoke up your ass.
>>745180794She flew out there to specifically see the game it wouldn't be worth the effort if it was still 5 years off.
>>745178970wtf would she know about what makes a good TES story
>>745181363If she just needed to "see" the game, it could've been an email attachment, but obviously you can't make a big announcement that you saw a progress video without looking foolish.
She doesn't play games. She has no idea what she's talking about.
>>745180616I don't know what you are talking about, starfields modding is not kneecapped, in fact it is easier than ever especially for beginner level mods since with the support of pbr and standard 3d files you don't have to go through schizophrenic nifscope conversions.The problem is that documentation of new creation kit is abysmal, but guess what this has always been the case and basically everything we know about previous kits was reverse engineered by community. The reason why modding for starfield is dead is because the game is boring and no one wants to play it, not because they technically kneecapped the kit. Who the fuck wants to mod for a mediocre borefest? Even if the modder likes starfield why would you mod for it when the playerbase is so low.
Bethesda 100% fooled her with some AI slop
Didn't leaks say 2027 launch? Maybe it's actually happening.
>>745178970>8 lettersSKYRIM II BABEHHE DOES IT AGAIN
>>745179809Don't forget the ever increasing amount of patreon and paywalled mods
>>745178970>live playthrough>this morningSo TES6 is such a short game that she can sit through the entire game in 1 morning? Or does she just not know what the fuck "playthrough" means?
>>745179514It's actually a distraction from the layoffs
>>745178970I worked on elder scrolls 6 for a freelance engine house year and a half ago, based on the level of completion it was at it would make sense to me that they should release it maybe next year or so. I'm not going to pretend that I have some secret information about the game because we only worked on GI environment implementation for it to be recognizable to Unreal devs when moving to CE3. The only thing I saw daily for certain is that it takes place in hammerfell, as generic and obvious as that sounds, it is a lot of Mediterranean coast similar to what you would see in AC Odyssey that transitions to a forest when you go north and transitions to dune desert when you go east.Everything looked very generic to be honest, but the assets were high quality. But the game is extremely photogrammetry heavy similar to Indiana Jones game. In fact the shaders and meshes were so similar in execution to Indiana Jones when I played it that I can only assume they use some kind of universal asset creation pipeline from photogrammetry.
>>745178970>TES 6 suddenly exists now
>>745178970Guys, 8 asterisks.So it's not Hammerfall, not Elswyr. High Rock?
>>745183226I could genuinely imagine a late 2027 launch. As of early 2025 the game was nearly asset complete visually, with major work for engine overhaul in regards to things like gi to switch it from older rasterization with kind of LOD like behavior based on distance of chunks to the prayer towards DDGI-style that uses an irradiance cache stored in cascaded probe volumes, which are then like continuously updated by tracing rays in real time rather than relying on any prebaked lighting data. When the game is more of less asset complete and afterwards it's just finishing actual game content, fine tuning gameplay and finishing level design, that should be a point where it's roughly 2 more years of development unless something goes horribly wrong.So based on my time are a freelance house working for zenimax I always assumed tes 6 will be late 2027.
>>745183893Regardless of the name it is hammerfell or at least includes it, I can guarantee that as I saw it myself.
>>745178970Stop pretending you are Asha on twitter, Todd.
>>745178970Cool, not getting hyped until I see the gameplay myself.
>>745178970It was just a modded Skyrim build. Asha has never played a video game. Women don't play this dumb shit
>>745178970>Matt BootyI still laugh at that name
>>745178970>The scale and grandeur are incredible
>>745180312It's a bit of both sides desu. Bethesda shouldn't have announced it too early. Gamers need to stop being impatient faggots and know the team that makes the mainline Elder Scrolls/Fallout/Starfield is one team and they can only really work on one game at a time and we are far from the era of games where it takes two years to make a game. They really only started on TES6 after Starfield.
>>745184791Too bad Crimson Desert is fucking dogshit.
>>745178970The Elder Scrolls VI: * * * * * * * *O B L I V I O N
>>745178970shut the fuck up jeet and resign
>>745184791>>745185004Which is it? Seems like half the people say it's good and the other half says it's shit. I'm interested in picking it up when it goes on sale.
>>745185129She's only allowed to resign if she takes up a job as my cocksleeve. Just imagine getting a whiff of that currypuss.
>>745185149It’s basically a single player MMO. The prolly week day it’s shit don’t play MMOs.
>>745185021Nah it's going to be:The Elder Scrolls VI: High Rock
>>745185149It's a single player black desert online but it takes 300 hours to complete and all the quests are literally fetch quests. Go here and slay X of X. etc etc. Main story is complete and utter dogshit so thats probably why it sucks the most.
>>745185149It is incredibly impressive game technically, but it is very soulless.If you enjoy technology you will enjoy CD.If you want a game with coherent gameplay progression and world building you might find CD boring.
>>745185149It's all about what you're looking for in a game. If you don't really care about story, and you can forgive some weird balance and jank, you'll probably love it for the huge map, litany of features, player driven gameplay. If any of that sounds like a dealbreaker, you'll be annoyed with it pretty regularly.
>>745185149feature bloat at its finest>look! you can sit and jerk-off !>look! you can shit and there is a mini game for shitting! wow!extremely brown coded game for people who will love GTA 6
How is it WoW puts out a major patch every 9 months that contains better and more content than the total garbage Bethesda takes 8 years to develop?
She finished the game? Wow, why don't they just fucking ship it then
>>745178970>Creation Engine 3my porn games use this
>>745178970This is just a meaningless post to get investors excited, just like the teaser from 8 years ago
>>745185586She got to watch a live demo. Aka she sat down whilst a dev played through the game for a while.
surely an indian woman wouldn't lieespecially one hired by other indians to manage such a department
>>745178970>********* this morningFucking this morning?
>>745185630She says "playthrough"
>>745183408why, everyone but resetera trannies celebrated that
>>745185645I'm still cautiously optimistic. She's done more than Phil has done and has done things users have been asking about for a while.
>>745185586Right now it probably has 10 million bugs knowing Bethesda
>>745178970Was it running on the same console that had Perfect Dark on it?
>>745179081i would prefer creation engine 3 than unreal engine 5 tbqh desu
>>745178970I don't care about what a woman has to say.
>>745178970I just saw a video on anthem, the studio made a smoke and mirrors demo in 6 weeks to show to execs to bullshit their way through after 5 years of stunted development. We all know how that ended.
>>745179318i mean she is a jeet so it's possible
>>745185696Can you read? Play through is part of my text dumbass.
>ceo of products inc.>this product is amazing
>>745185149It's 100% slop, plays like a shitty MMO, and looks like one too. Some people just have low standards.
>>745185839TES is a known quantity it's not going to change much from its demo where Todd goes around killing undead with magic and a sword.
>>745178970I don't believe that shit one bit, at most she saw a vertical slice that breaks the second for go off in the wrong direction for more than one second
>>745185149Mish mash of poorly implemented mechanics and a big, ugly world full of mmo fetch quests so retards think it's something amazing.
>>745186012TES 6 has been in dev for like 4 years now though?
>>745186054This is year 3 they started right after Starfield released.
>>745186134You're forgetting Starfield was finished in 2022 but Phil told them to take another year to bug polish. TES 6 started then too.
In what world would it make business sense to say anything but it looks good?Do you honestly think she would come out and say it was shit if it was
>>745178970>even greateroh boy it will kill the studio innit
This is the kind of thing Asha witnessed when she sat down, Todd used his 10 charisma to blow her socks off.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSL-r9AIEEU
>xbox ceo: THIS GAME IS AMAZINGuh huhremember when they said this about perfect dark and that mmo the eso devs were working on
>>745179910lolno one who works at any modern company are the same people who worked there 20+ years ago, they have been replaced by zogbots
>>745186601>Todd used his 10 charisma to blow herbig dog taking one for the team
>>745185129Don't talk that way about your boss, Todd
>>745178970Wow some literally week shitskin hole who can't tell cowshit from dinner saw something, great news, how amazing saar.Can't wait to HATE NEWSPAPER but with curved swords.
>>745185871No nigger I can't read.
>>745178970Reminder that a game made for everyone is a game made for nobody. ES6 will be shallow, boring garbage.
>>745187138Yeah figures.
>>745187147Just what was unsafe to people in Skyrim? Everyone likes Skyrim.Fucking retard.
Of course a jeet would look at utter trash and call it great, those creatures have absolutely zero taste, standards or understanding of what makes games good. A jeet saying something looks great is a death sentence.
>>745187214>everyone likes itDoesn't change what I posted even a little.
>>745179910The creation kit..?
>>745180616Starfield's modding scene is literally one of the biggest out of every game out there, if that's dead then every other game has no modding community.
>>745178970I've heard a variation of this story for the last 5 years>Xbox exec: "ES6 is playable and looks great"I have zero faith.
The title is probably Dominion. You can side with the Aldmeri or against them.
>>74518669390% of Bethesda who worked on skyrim are still there at Bethesda, they're one of the few devs that actually do keep all the same people.
>>745188764Yep, and until I see it with my own eyes.>/doubt
>>745185149It has alot of freedom and interconnecting systems that they have added on since launch its a very good single player open world game and will actually challenge your mind with its puzzles Tutorial puzzles filtered out game journos
>>745178970>bethes>storylmfao
>>745185149Crimson Desert and Starfield are pretty much the same type of games with the same type of people who love them really loving them and the ones who hate them really hating them. It's a mixed bag.
If it's creation engine(it is) I have 0 hope of it being good. Not because creation engine is itself bad, but Bethesda's inability to work with it properly and inability to develop it to not make the same reskinned game 5 times is well demonstrated at this point
>>745185021>>745185332Starfall - Alt name for Iliac Bay, might be the Alik'r name for Iliac, funniest outcomeDominion - Thalmor, plot relatedSentinel - Capital of Hammerfell, mirrors DaggerfallIliac Bay - Unlikely, space is 9th charHigh Rock - Unlikely, space is 9th charNumidium - Its parts will be scattered about, who knowsHoonDing - Player might be an aspect of himBalfiera - Island Ada-Mantia is on, just out of view of the teaserUr-Tower - alt name for Ada-Mantia / Adamantine TowerOrsinium - Orcs do keep trying to make a nation over there...Wrothgar / Gavaudon - Region just out of view of the teaserRedguard - Unlikely, but maybeSatakals - Cult in the areaKozanset - Too small of a city I thinkEhlnofey - Dominion's desire?Skyrim 2 - lol, lmao
>>745178970You know what that doesn't say?Good gameplay
>>745185386>Go here and slay X of XThat's fine if the actual gameplay is good though. Most games are just "go forward in the corridor and flip the mcguffin lever", that doesn't make it bad.
>>745189636Or, and this might be too much for you conspiracy theorists out there, the amount of asterisks was abstract and not the exact amount of characters.
>>745189960xbint and the bethesda twitter used the same number of asterisksonce can be discarded, twice is evidence
>>745178970I doubt shes ever played a video game beyond publicity photoshoots.
>>745189995Or eight is a very common number for this stuff
Guys I just saw Elden Ring 2 and it's really good and big and good. Screencap this and make at least 4 threads about it.
>>745190297Thanks you very much Mr. <CEO of From Software>, I can surely trust your totally unbiased and unsubstantiated claim that <Next From Product> will be great! I am pre-ordering right now!
>>745178970>fire leftists from studio>studio productivity immediately improvesdamn...
>>745178970>fantastic newsthat's not news, that's marketing
>>745179910Bethesda is filled with women, communists and jeets. The world you're thinking of no longer exists.
>>745179514Possibly. Or its just a jeet trying to scam you into buying a shitty product.
>>745178970If this doesn't kill Bethesda/Microsoft, nothing else will
>>745179910Its not 2010 anymore
>>745190430It really is telling how much the game journos are against fireing these useless faggots are. It's like they're crying hard that their stranglehold on gaming to spout political activist bullshit is coming to an end.
>>745185149Its pretty good, 8/10. SEA monkeys absolutely hate it cuz its a gook game.
>>745183893Redguard
>>745184791They made a Two Worlds 3?
>>745180050Starfield was pretty bug free since xbox mandated another 8 months of QA before releasing it
>>745183693>>745183980Very interesting
>>745179913Based shitskin.
>>745178970The ******** is for "Asha Sharma is about to make Todd her bitch"
>>745190462Cope harder tranny you lost
>>745183893
>>745178970good. i need a palate cleanser after that shitstain that was crimson desert. fable is interesting but will certainly be the obnoxiously woke kind and not the tolerable one.
>>745183893Michigan
>>745192085Why would it be Sentinel?
>>745192085Sentinel would be fucking retarded after TES has been naming games after entire zones or planes. A city name?Retarded. Imagine if it was The Elder Scrolls V: Solitude.Sorry would be retarded naming.
>>745192815Daggerfallfuck you
>xbox CEO says somethinggrim
>>745192815There was Daggerfall. And, albeit spinoffs, Battlespire and Redguard. It's not unbelievable.
They could release something early, barebones, knowing they plan on adding to it over the years. That would make a 2027 release possible. A Fallout 76 style content release schedule. Not saying players would like it, but it would get something out the door.
>>745179318Kek
given the current state of the industry, bethesda, and their history of games exactly why should i be hyped about this game that was announced 8 years ago. literally nothing surrounding it just screams good to me
>>745192815I kinda want them to focus on smaller geographically regions. Just a part of a province, not entirety of hammefell. It could have one huge well realised city and like 3 or 4 smaller ones, with some actual villages.
>>745193684>Smaller zoneNo thank you faggot. Absolutely terrible idea.
>>745178970Wake me up when its the quality of morrowind
>>745179809If you want a repeat of Shartfield by all means go ahead and see what happens.
Release next year please.Either way, it will probably be the last TES of our lifetime.
>>745193738They literally did it in morrowind where only vvardenfell was availableEither explain your reasoning or shut the fuck up, faggot
>>745178970That's good I guess?
>>745194462People don't play TES for small scale content anymore.
>>745178970>shill in chief says it's greatwhat else would she say?
>>745184959The issue with that is that literally no one asked for Starfield AND it ended up being shit anyway, its mere existence wasted everyone's time
>>745182585And that's a good thing. She's a pure businesswoman, she needs something to sell. I don't think her tweet is directed at the players as much as it is directed at bethesda to pressure them to finish their fucking game and move on to fallout 5.
>>745178970so what the hell were they waiting for this whole time.did she really just come in and started demanding progress checks?did the phil spencer sit on his hands all those years?
>>745194706>Bethesda should only do Elder Scrolls and Fallout foreverCringe and shit tier take.
>>745194803It just wasn't being developed They made trailer to bump the company value and were making starfield. Tes is in active development only for like 2 years or so.
>>745178970>Creation Engine 3Let me guess: major cities will still consist of 5 houses and all of them will be instanced.
>>745179976This, how much of the story she could even witness to say this lmao
>>745185919and some will buy this :^)
