Elder Scrolls 5??

Now, i'm sure that most of you, the System Wars Community, have heard of the Elder Scrolls Series.

The last game, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion, was critically acclaimed, and played for an extremely long time. A lot of players have spent more than 200 hours on that game alone.

This begs me the question, If Oblivion was such a good game, then why did Bethseda not try to develop the next in the series. Is it because they did not want the game franchise to look as if it is being milked? Or are they trying to develop the Fallout series at this moment in time?

Your Thoughts?

Probably because they got the Fallout IP, which is IMO, a much more interesting IP to work with. :)

This will probably turn into a oblivion hate thread soon.

Loved Elder Scrolls: Oblivion! Still playing it.

And superior multiplatform game on the PlayStation 3 - WTF! Bethesda did great with that one.

By the way, Fallout 3 was crap.

Actually, I'd say it's superior on PC. :)

Yeah:

• Free Downloads (Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine)
• Tighter Gameplay
• Better Graphics

I played the hell out of Oblivion, modded the hell out of it, too. Fallout 3 was even better.

I'm pretty sure they said they were making another Elder Scrolls game a while back.

I can't wait for The Elder Scrolls V. I loved Oblivion and it's still one of the only Western RPG's I've played that I've enjoyed. I really hope Bethesda fixes some of IV's issues (some were addressed in Fallout 3) and don't take out things like level scaling.

I spent more than 350 hours on Oblivion, amazing game. Cant wait for the next one

They wanted to give it a rest. No reason to make a sequel quite yet when there's so many expansions and not a new engine. Let them make a few more games with the Gamebryo 2.0 engine and then let tem come back with another Elder Scrolls next-gen.

Fallout 3 is crap to you because the PS3 fails for it.

They probably are going back to the series, actually, but it can take them a while. Check out the gap between Elder Scrolls II and Morrowind, I think it was like 5-6 years.masterpinky2000

Four Years, actually.

Wow, that picture brings back memories. I remember seeing that image in 2006 and thinking holy ****! next gen has arrived. Now it looks like crap.

Anyway, i think its just because they take so long to develop (even longer now). I'd rather have them announce it and launch within a year instead of announcing it in 2008 and say have it launched in 2011. Or they could just be waiting for next gen.

I heard Oblivion wasnt too hot and only gaine critical acclaim for being the only current gen RPG out on the market at the time. Had it been released midway through a gen, its flaws may really show. They could just be waiting to do the same.

I hope they launch a new franchinse. What stuck me as the difference between Fallout 3 and Oblivion was that Fallout was *funny*; there's aways some sight gag or something. Oblivion just seems like a pompous, swords and sorcery game that takes itself too seriously. Give us some more gags Bethesda, whatever you do.

Please no more, collect the marbles of Nothgod from the Lake of Dogoth to re-forge Galgathon....its just too dry, bland, and NOT FUNNY.

From what I have heard it will be based in Skyrim.

I want Elder Scrolls 5 soooo badly

This will probably turn into a oblivion hate thread soon.

gingerdivid

I agree. And are you the gingerdivid from the system wars game?

I remember reading something about they were tired of making Elder Scrolls games. They been doing it for 20 years... Probably won't see another for a long time.

It is a shame that Oblivion was critically acclaimed... because the vanilla experience was just so... bleh. Shivering Isles and the mod communities' creations make for a much better experience, that is worth acclaiming critically.

I want Oscuro to be hired for ESV and whomever had the genius of creating Shivering Isles to be promoted to head of design.

Kind of off topic, but what's with Bethesda and their inability to make a game with fun combat?

i loved oblivion, i spend over 200 hours on it. two months ago i read a rumor at ign that bethesda is working on it. it will continue the story just after the end of oblivion

Eww who would want another elder scrolls its just fallout 3 with swords. ..... :P SAGE_OF_FIRE

Oblivion was a step backwards if anything from Morrowind (except for combat and sound/graphics ) imo, hopefully if they do decide to make a fifth installment, they will not adopt the oblivion mechanics

Elder scrolls is much better than Fallout IMO.

I loved TES, Didn't enjoy Fallout as much.

Dead-Memories

oblivion was fun, the level scaling, not so much fun. Fallout 3 was garbage, i honestly done like that game at all. I wish the Bethesda would go back to elderscrolls.
