With Oblivion remaster's announcement tomorrow what are the chances they drop a TESVI trailer?
It's just too perfect of a chance considering they can mirror the IV into VI. Also it sounds like something Todd would do.
He's gonna post dong on main
Joke's on you it's going to be a Skyrim demake in the Oblivion engine.
that's the only thing they could do that would be better than the skyblivion fan project
... Honestly, I'll take it. I preferred Oblivion's skill system anyway.
You know that good video games exist right? You can just play those instead of playing Bethesda slop
I play other games as well. Most games I play are indie, but older Beth games were still pretty good.
Nintendo Switch 2 announcement for Skyrim.
After Fallout 4 and Starfield, I am not looking forward to any of this shit
After all, now you can run Oblivion on any potato computer and install some mods to make it less bad
The remake exists solely to try and steal steam (and money) away from Skyblivion
I think Skyblivion is free and it will be better than this because it's fanmade.
but is it released? first i've heard of it and i don't see a way to get it from their site.. just an update last year about them working to release it?
Passion project > cash grab every day of the week
Yeah, but Bethesda is doing this because they know some people probably don't know about Skyblivion and will just buy the remake
And it can backfire if the new remaster is shit. It'll be like NV where a non Bethesda team ends up making something better than what Bethesda offers.
Oblivion "Remastered" is just going to be Oblivion with AI-upscaled textures. Maybe new voice work since the original game's is so bad. They will fix half of the bugs that are fixed in the most recent version of the community patch, and introduce a dozen more.
TES 6 will never release. It isn't even in development. That JPEG everyone knows about wasn't actually revealed by Bethesda, it's a deepfake that we have all developed a collective hallucination around.
I think most players really don’t want TES 6, I think they want to be 16-24 again. I don’t really think most players even know what about Skyrim or Oblivion made them happy or what they would want from that game, I think they just want the feeling of freedom that is gone from their lives. I don’t even mean this in a mean way, I just think the game is carried more by nostalgia rather than any particular mechanical, narrative, or creative traits.
You might be underestimating the number of people who unironically enjoy modern Bethesda games, unfortunately.
I'm more excited about the release of a game that has a large and established modding community and what they'll do with that new platform than the game itself.
I genuinely did not enjoy Skyrim at release- modded Skyrim is one of my favorite games ever.
The talent in the broader Bethesda modding community is beyond impressive and they've had years to refine tooling/interop that I think will result in another modded game that will, hopefully, reach the same heights to me as previous works.
I would really love a version of TES 6 that isn't what TES 6 will be.
I think theres some truth to the idea that, even if Elder Scrolls VI were a really good game, a larger than youd think portion of the fanbase still wouldnt be happy with it.

Don't believe his lies

Considering Starfield took like 8 years to come out as a completely half-assed shallow barely-even-there game and TES VI only starting full production after that launched in 2023, I'd be surprised to see anything regarding that game before like 2027. I'm gonna be there for it though, somehow these games just keep getting worse and worse. Like Starfield is such a giant step down from even like Fallout 4 I still kinda can't believe it. It can't get even worse, can it? At some point people are going to have to notice, and they'll definitely notice the more they have to compare these games to.
and Fallout 4 was a drop off a cliff from Fallout New Vegas
but they didn't make New Vegas. Gotta compare it to fallout 3.
4 is worse
oh.. well.. yeah 3 was still better than 4
hmm... lateral move imo
much better gun handling and other gameplay mechanics but the voiced protag was a mistake and like half of the new asset systems they implemented were extremely hostile to modders (we don't talk about precombines)
didn't starfield have massive structural problems? another TES game is something they should have a better handle on managing and it ought to go more smoothly than the "oh shit we don't know how to make a space game"
It can't get even worse, can it?
There's always more room at the bottom 
there's still some vestigial rpg elements they can cut.
They really should drop another one, considering the last one was almost 7 years ago. Treatlerites are starving out there.
Release the remake and 6 with full mod support and it's already pre-installed with hentai mods you COWARD
yeah but release price will be $150
The whole situation with Oblivion Remastered feels so strange to me. If I had to guess, Bethsoft has very little marketing budget for this game, being a remaster, so they're doing a marketing by leaks strategy. But even then the leaks are like "It could launch any day now!" And that seems like such a quick turnaround for an unannounced game, though it may have to go through platform related stuff before actually selling. Fire Emblem Engage had something similar happen, but it didn't really sell well at all.
Not really relevant to your post, but the Remaster has been on my mind.
People are so thirsty for a TES game that this probably works
Todd Howard's going to announce he's in the running to become the new pope.
After Starfield I look forward to not looking forward to anything by Bethesda ever
It’s going to be the Oblivion remaster release date followed by a Skyrim remaster announcement then they will tease us by mentioning VI but provide no real info.
I'm predicting at least 1 JPEG
Sir, a second TES6 JPEG has hit the internet.
it's gonna be the same dog shit as starfield with the same bugs and the same mechanics as the games bethesda has done for the last decade or so. i mean i get the hype bigger number is better but like aside from that what's there to wait for? everyone can basically play TES VI by getting Skyrim or fallout or starfield and mod them so the title changes to elder scrolls 6 or whatever. i don't get it.
