Ok Hammerfell confirmed, Sentinel is the capital city

Not sure how much hope I have after Starfield and Fallout 4 though. Not a fan of all the simplification and removal of RPG elements Bethesda has been doing for a while now

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 23 points 3 days ago

The only Bethesda games I'm interested in playing are Skywind and Skyblivion tbh

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

imagine if they took a risk and brought back all of the old mechanics expanded rather than simplified

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago

Yea I don't know if I'll even bother to pirate it lol fallout 4 already barely held my attention and I still haven't learned anything about Star field before that it sucks

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 22 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

for those who don't want to watch it:
developer logos followed by a close up on a bunch of sand that blows away to partially reveal an elder scroll
then there is a black screen with the title, then a vague quote from a moth priest
that is the entire trailer

i am 100% serious


[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I have hundreds of hours on Oblivion and Skyrim, I have never actually interacted with an Elder Scroll

Oh wait I did do that mission of the moth temple in Oblivion, it's about stealing one of those right?

[–] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Believe it or not there are actually three different elder scrolls you can interact with over the course of Skyrim and its dlcs

I'm against industry crunch but this is silly.

They're still waiting for Michael Kirkbride to emerge from his K-hole

[–] Sam@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Kirkbride has just been working on perfectly normal games ever since Morrowind. Mostly he was just writing for Telltale games like walking dead ect. It's kind of bizarre how relatively mundane his other work has been compared to his Elder Scrolls stuff.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 28 points 3 days ago (2 children)

i'm going to need some gameplay, Todd

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago (2 children)

It's gonna play like an Elder Scrolls game

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

Morrowind 2 in 2028? neat

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

there are at least 7 things that could mean

[–] Sleve_McDichael@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Another port and/or remaster of Skyrim, you got it

[–] 30_to_50_Feral_PAWGs@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Starfield with swords. Potentially curved swords.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

probably less loading than starfield. some guy on youtube is most of the way to modding a seamless skyrim so they should be able to do it officially in a new game, right?

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

3+ years away and it will suck, AAA ARPG genre dead for 50 years. eat my hat if im wrong

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

They should make it a retro style 2D platformer

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 26 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They should just make it another rerelase of Skyrim, but they should pretend it's a new game right up until the first loading screen is done.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

Keep the wool over their eyes until "so....you're finally awake"

[–] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If they made it a shameless cash grab metroidvania rogue lite souls-like it would be so funny

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago

Jokes on them, I love that slop

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago

Any news on the release date or is it just another "don't forget about the Elder Scrolls" trailer without any substance?

Their last "announcement" trailer was like 8 years ago with 0 news since. In comparison 8 years after Skyrim was announced it had already been re-released like 5 times

Shit what happened to announcing a game when you actually had something to announce? They told people they were releasing Skyrim less than a year before they actually released it

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago

And the crowd goes mild.

[–] Sam@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Judging by the progression of in game books from full size novelettes in Daggerfall, to short stories in Morrowind (The best ones, there is a reason half of the books in the next two games were just these ones), to 10 pages max in oblivion, to tiny pamphlets in Skyrim, I am predicting that all lore books in this game will be single sentences.

Can't wait to see how they manage to turn all that interesting lore and worldbuilding into the most generic ass racist fantasy setting in the desert.

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You're forgetting the possibility of having LLMs write the lore books

[–] XiJinpingStanAccount@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Lol. Lmao even. The books will definitely just be decorative and a few of them that are quest related will be readable as a single page summary thats like "The 1000 year old secret crypt is 200 feet from the biggest city in the game, and yes, nobody has found it. Despite its location being in this book."

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Fallout Starfield - Skyrim edition but AI vibecoded because that's what the fans want

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago

You are a AAAA game developer. Implement a new elder scroll. Make no mistake.

[–] mrfugu@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

I’m not falling for it the writing is gonna be trash and it’ll barely be an rpg

[–] CutieBootieTootie@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

Yeah, good. Ok.

[–] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

No info but I'm playing the shit out of this garbage, now back to morrowind

I think Todd Howard got scared when Microsoft was closing studios and gave Halo to Activision, so he's actually getting things done now.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

Todd Bethesda personally scrambling to write some code since he makes all these games single-handedly.

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Booooo. Hiiissssss. That means fewer resources towards Fallout 5 kitty-cri-potato

[–] Commie_Chameleon@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hey here’s some hope for you: Obsidian doesn’t need resources. They made New Vegas with like no time and Bethesda’s shitty engine. Whatever they’re cooking up right now will be better than 5 and out way sooner I bet.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 15 points 3 days ago

Obsidian is working on a new fallout entry!

dean-smile

With Bethesda Game Studios now managing Obsidian

dean-frown

Fucking god dammit.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 10 points 3 days ago

how many new Fromsoft games will be out before this releases? I'm guessing at least 10 but maybe even 20

[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago

Scrollder olds mouldyrim 3

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

Gotta love trailers that show zero parts of the game they're meant to advertise.

[–] octobob@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

For anyone looking to scratch the itch, Queen's Domain launched this week and is like king's field, Metroid prime, dark souls, elder scrolls, all in one. It's fantastic

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, don't want to play into the speculation and hype, but the sand dunes does kind of give credence to earlier leaks that it is going to be set in Hammerfell.

[–] CrookedSerpent@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Sentinel is a city on the northern coast of Hammerfell on the Illiac Bay. It's not speculation.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

oh shit the hogs are gonna be mad there are black people

my nursing home will go nuts for this when it comes out

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

Finally, I was beginning to think they'd never port Skyrim to the Nokia N-Gage.
