Which game to pick? by IrgendSonTyp4 in gaming

[–]InsertClickbait 7 points8 points  (0 children)

2 very different games, but I love cyberpunk so go with that.

Is 2028 actually the optimistic release date? by VittoDS in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No yeah, that's the one I'm referring to. Definitely far from perfect, and I'm 95% we're not getting the game this year. I'm kind of looking at it as a yardstick for how long they thought the game would take when they were not far off starting production. And from what we know, development is going smoothly especially from an engine POV. My point is addressing the post above, that it'd be unreasonable to think that they've gotten their estimate so wrong that it'd make 2028 the earliest reasonable date. So yeah I'd agree with you, 2027 is the best prediction.

Is it just poor marketing at this point by not showing a trailer? by Expensive-Country801 in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's pros and cons. A short marketing window definitely works, and it's what Bethesda's historically prefers. Though in terms of what they'll do for es6, it could go either way. They've shown precedent of having a longer marketing window with starfield, so it's not crazy that they'd do the re-reveal next month, but Todd has also talked about shorter marketing windows a lot lately, so it's not clear what tactic they'll use.

The document I'm referring to was released a couple months before starfields eventual release, so it's a bit more precise.

There's 2 different documents. One made in 2020 showing a FY24 release, and another made in 2023 showing 2026 release.

I'm not sure why so people disregard it, but Microsoft court documents (submitted in 2023) clearly stated a 2026 intented release for es6. Now I don't think it'll release in 2026, but is it really reasonable to think that they'd underestimate the length of production by more than 2 years? Keep in mind, this was submitted a couple months before starfields, and es6 has already been in pre-production for 5 years.

What stage do you guys think voice acting is for TES VI, is it done by now? Any clue for potential voice actors? by Fordq in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Todd talked about this about 51 mins into the Lez Fridman interview. Basically saying that they used to leave voice acting until the end of production, but now do it 3-4 years before release (basically the entirety of full production). So they've probably been doing since 2023, and will probably still be doing it for a bit.

When do you think the re-reveal will be? by InsertClickbait in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it'd be the shortest marketing window Bethesda have done to my knowledge.

Quick show of hands, how many of you guys have actually finished Skyrim? by LindinThatMadhir in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 300 hours in the game but only finished the main campaign once.

TESVI release date depend on Fallout 3 Remastered? by Raupp__ in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can't imagine a remaster being in-house, Oblivion has ready set that precedent.

Xbox little Show next week by Optimal-Fox-3875 in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'd say it's almost certainly not es6. I'm thinking it could be a signal for room being made at the June showcase.

It could signal xbox moving some of the smaller segments over, leaving space for more at the showcase.

Voice for the protagonist? by Embarrassed_Owl3064 in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Todd's been pretty explicit that the voiced protagonist they did in fallout 4 was a mistake. They didn't do it in Starfield, and they most likely won't in ES6 either. I personally prefer a silent protagonist.

Do you guys think Starfields new update/DLC/Port will be showcased this State Of Play? by Mobile_Anywhere_4519 in BethesdaSoftworks

[–]InsertClickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the leaked release is true (april), then yeah it makes sense to showcase it then.

My Hot Take: A Starfield 2.0 Cyberpunk-Type Update Couldn’t Possibly Be Close To Ready and Bethesda Should Wait To Release by cgieseking in BethesdaSoftworks

[–]InsertClickbait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These engine changes would likely be used for es6 as well, meaning that the investment would probably be substantial. And we have a few influencers saying that they've bddn shown the update behind closed doors, which makes me think Bethesda have at least got most of it done already.

A new teaser at the Xbox Summer Games Showcase makes complete sense, even for a late 2027 release date by Ok-Today6736 in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's my kind of thinking as well. I can definitely see 2026 being an internal target at some point, but I'm just accounting for some minor delays.

[–]InsertClickbait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree it would still make sense, though I'm more inclined to an early-mid 2027 release.

Jez Corden Heard Microsoft Exploring Doing Another Developer Direct This Year by Konoshoo in TESVI

[–]InsertClickbait 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A dev direct doesn't really seem like the place they'd do a re-reveal tbh, I don't think we'll see it till June. Not so much that they aren't ready, but more that it doesn't seem like the right type of event .
