They mentioned the Authority, which were the antagonists from the first game, but I’d be fine with it being like what Fallout 4 was to Fallout 3, same universe, but new area and story with some characters and world events crossing over.

Because it still didn’t. They released Skyrim in 2011 and then started updating the engine to release Fallout 4 in 2015. They then started Fallout 76 with their sister studios and then started on Starfield as their next core game in full development(a game they trademarked in 2013) and are going to do ES6 after that.…

But making the claim that ES6 is never gonna happen because of ESO is still extremely unfounded because there still isn’t any proof of it occurring. It’s just a baseless assumption made from a position of cynicism towards ESO and fear-mongering to create a faux-dilemma. They’ve said they wanted to have some engine…

This is a video games forum where people talk about what they’d like and wouldn’t.

We aren’t past due for an ES game. Oblivion was 2006, Fallout 3 was 2008, Skyrim was 2011, Fallout 4 was 2015. Based on the increases in time frames between titles and the fact that they’ve stated that they are working in new engine tech for what they want to do for ES6, we really shouldn’t expect ES6 news until 2019…

I liked both for their own things. I think the Jetpack/Wingsuit and general destructive mayhem of JC3 was great and Mad Max has some pretty good driving and world design. Although the stories were kinda pretty meh for me. But then Rage didn’t have good story either, hopefully everyone on board took stock of those…

I guess not being a lazy, ignorant pessimist and doing just 5 minutes of research means you have to be a fanboy. Has this labeling somehow changed something? It’s weird, because you strangely still appear to be just as wrong as you were before.

New Vegas was developed by another studio(Obsidian) using the exact same engine as 3, so it only need 2-3 years of development and it was still a spin-off, although it was basically just Fallout 3.5.
Fallout 4 came out 7 years after 3. It’s only been 2.5 years since then, so this is easily just a spin-off of 4, but…

First off, ES6 isn’t even supposed to be out right now, and ESO is developed by another studio, so there’s no reason for them to affect each other and no reason to believe it has just because ES6 hasn’t been announced, when it’s not even time for it be announced.

Rage 2's reigns haven’t been given to id, they were given to Avalanche Studios(Just Cause/Mad Max).

It’s not the next Fallout Single-Player RPG though. It’s a spin-off being done by a separate internal studio. We shouldn’t even normally be getting a Fallout game anytime soon based on their release history(and I wouldn’t expect Fallout 5 to even be announced until 2023-24 at the earliest, and that still depends on whe…

As of 2016, Todd Howard stated Skyrim had sold over 30 million copies over that 5 year period. I think it fairly safe to assume at least a few million more have been sold since then. 3 years after ESO came out they said they had 8.5 million copies sold so far. It’s been a year since so it probably went and will go up…

My main issue with this paranoia-fueled sentiment is that they would make tons of money on ES6, so the idea of discontinuing the main series for a semi-popular MMO developed by another team is absurd. They would make more money with ES6 in a couple weeks then they would in years of maintaining ESO. And then when ES6…

Except ESO came out three years before they made this statement about SP games. So no.

It’s too bad they don’t have an E3 presentation coming where they could almost certainly still announce some of those things. /s

If it’s trash then why do you think it’ll make more money than the games that always make tons of money? Why re-release Skyrim so frequently on different platforms, they’re cutting into their projected earnings there, aren’t they? Why in the world would Zenimax want to not make easy money just because it might cause…

This may be a wierd take, but I’m gonna wait until I see the full reveal in a couple weeks before claiming it’s worst thing to ever happen. “Oh no, a spin-off in a game series I often constantly bitch about - The Internet”

Fallout Tactics was good though. Unless you’re trying to say you bought Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, the twin-stick shooter, that was bad.

Did you think that when they talked about saving SP games they meant they were promising that they would never put out a multiplayer game ever again?

Your friend is wrong. The consequences of the snap need to be the payoff. The snap itself isn’t enough to payoff what the story is leading to. If it were a tv show, you could have the snap end the penultimate episode, but you still need that consequent-filled denouement.
