  @DreamsNStardust @Mikester430 @ColdCriti Haven’t played Elder Scrolls but Fallout NV and 4 definitely have some great open worlds. 3 I wasn’t too big a fan of. Also yeah it would have been cool to have some settlements in ER for sure. I think that’s a valid complaint but for me this wasn’t a huge issue personally.

  @PassiveProphet Waiting till they spent like 3+ years on the game and it being like 90% done then cancelling it was not cancelling it in time. A true leader would've been able to see the problems much earlier on and would've given the relevant feedback/stop it in time. Dude kept saying 7 years to make a game is fine how many games did that this gen besides the obvious GTA VI and Elder scrolls VI which are massive games?

  @k1llegal_ I’ve been an Xbox fan first for the majority of my life. They screwed up too many times (with the last straw being 2024’s multiplatform strategy) and for the most part lost me. All of Xbox’s issues come from their own baffling mistakes. They’ve earned the criticism. Having said that, I own all of the systems and will be buying Gears E-Day on my Series X. I’m not a platform warrior. I’m a consumer who cares about the games. Xbox has every right to make Elder Scrolls exclusive because they own it, but I think it would be a ****** thing to do to take it away from Sony and Nintendo who have had those games for up to 20 years. No one has ever had Insomniacs Spiderman and Wolverine besides PlayStation, and as an internal first party studio no one should. Though, if they came to Xbox why should I care? More people get to play them, though I think it would be a terrible business decision, much like Xbox’s push away from exclusives over the last few years.

  @abandonedmuse I think it just runs at a lower rate as I didn't max out usage Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

  Is Halo 7 out yet? (@Halo_HypeGuy) reported 16 minutes ago

  @lastchalice @XBOXTIMDOG And that's exactly why Xbox should make Elder Scrolls and other non-live service games full exclusives. If they go all in like the 360 era, Sony is cooked with their 1sr party network in shambles, most 3rd parties going full multiplatform and player trust dissolved.

  @Pirat_Nation I've been playing Skyrim with mods for years and it's amazing. Bethesda should have hired modders for The Elder Scrolls VI, probably going to be a piece of crap like Starfield that modders will have to fix.

  @thegreatestzani You do realise saying something doesn't make it true? No other game company/game could do this type of marketing other than elder scrolls or elden ring 2 etc. You are just making up an issue that was never a problem before and still isn't because a new twitter opinion dropped

  Yes, as a totally starved Elder Scrolls lore fanatic, I will definitely over-analyze this. A few observations: - The province for The Elder Scrolls VI has long been rumored to be Hammerfell, to the point where it's almost certain. The number of asterisks she used could be random, but if they're not, they don't fit "Hammerfell". Skyrim and Morrowind are the only Elder Scrolls games that are actually named after the province they take place in, so this isn't an issue. It will probably have a unique subtitle. - By saying the story is greater than the already incredible scale and grandeur of the game, is she saying the story is better than the exploration and questing? Certainly not. This is actually a weird thing to say about the Elder Scrolls, a franchise from a studio that is typically known for weak main quest writing, which we all forgive because the exploration and side quests are the real star. We all understand that, but her vague praise seems to contradict. - Asha saying something public about this game is surely part of her plan to crack the doors open at Bethesda. I wouldn't be surprised if we finally see something substantial about the game this year. What she saw could even be a work in progress demo slice for a future show. Can't believe we're doing this still, but a fans gotta eat.

  @Nick101Gaming Because Xbox can not sustain a game that size in scope why can’t you understand that Xbox has less then 30 million gamers all on gamepass a rental service that does not support buying and supporting the studios that make them the elder scrolls will come to ps5 no Xbox needed!!

  This is Gears, this will be Fabel if the next one isn't well received, this is Dragon Age, this will be Fallout and Elder Scrolls if Bethesda don't fix up.

  @LoneWolfMitsuni Thats fair, however elder scrolls and fallout are still two very good and popular series which are plagued with bugs and optimization issues... so I wouldn't call Beasts of Reincarnation **** til you play or seen someone play it to get the full scope of the game. Thats just my op

  A lot of people are focusing on the "poor shaming" aspect But it's more of an industry issue. $80-100 for GTA, Elder Scrolls, massive games like that, sure maybe. $80-$100 for a 4-8 hour story game or worse a 20 hour bloated with busy work to justify the dollar to hour games. No

  @DeekeTweak we go back to the usual absurd debate, Xbox cannot make its games exclusive, but Play Station can, the last Elder Scrolls came out in 2011, we are not talking about making FIFA or Call of Duty exclusive, if Sony made Spiderman exclusive I don't see a problem with Elder Scrolls 6.

  @CS11__ I think the problem, is the hype. That'll happen when you take 12 years to come out with the next title. Elder Scrolls 6 will meet the same fate. Good lessons to learn, dont milk your IP to death on one title for an entire decade.

  Some people are all talk well, I put my money where my mouth is as it pertains to Sony #Playstation There are a number of factors that led up to this. It's clear that Sony doesn't give two 💩 about their customers. Sony should be on alert however because their arrogance could backfire from a business perspective longer term. They think we don't have options but what have they really done this gen? - They chased live service and it failed miserably. - Concord? failure - Marathon...not the success they wanted it to be resulting in major layoffs at Bungie - Bluepoint games? Gone - They could have been working on a Days Gone sequel but no. - Wasted 3 years of Naughty Dog development time on a Last of Us MP and then cancelled it. - Horizon series MP - who asked for this? - Relied on remasters to compensate for the lack of first party releases - Started pulling digital movies from their stores and customers lost access - Announced no more physical discs by 2028, meanwhile while quietly shrinking available physical inventory in the market. I could go on and on... Look if Playstation is your ecosystem, that's great! I will never, ever criticize someone for their gaming tastes and what works for them. But you can't possibly defend any of the above and you can't really question why people are disenfranchised not only by Sony but the industry in general. So, I'm going retro and with XBOX for my ecosystem. I love how they have play anywhere, backwards compatbility, rewards, cheevos, etc... I'm a fan of Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Gears so it's more of a fit for me. Yet, Last of Us and Marvel's Spider-Man are two of my fav game series but I can still play those on PC so...there ya go! I always say, my decision and desire to express my decision should be inconsequential to you. End o' story. Peace, Dirk @xbox #xbox

  If their work was as good as they claimed it to be, they'd have no issues finding jobs at other game companies. Also, in actually interesting news, Elder Scrolls 6 is in a "playable" state just based on this headline.

  @JezCorden We gotta stop blaming 2013 for the various **** Xbox is in in 2026. PS3 was in just as much **** and was able to fix it within a generation. E.g. Mattrick didn't convince Satya/Hood to spend 7bil on Bethesda, then do **** all with Fallout/Elder Scrolls.

  Dinnu daniel (@daniel_adinnu) reported 53 minutes ago

  “No, the roadmap is unaffected.” That’s Bethesda’s entire response when asked whether The Elder Scrolls VI would be delayed by Xbox’s layoffs, four words delivered to a YouTuber after Microsoft cut 1,600 jobs immediately and marked another 1,600 for elimination over the next year. Here’s the sentence that complicates it. The Elder Scrolls Online, made by ZeniMax Online Studios, a sister team under the same publisher, lost over 200 employees in the same round of cuts. Their own public statement wasn’t reassurance. It was an admission: “roadmaps we previously shared will be shifting.” Same company, same week, same wave of layoffs, and the two teams gave opposite answers to the same question. That’s not necessarily a contradiction. The Elder Scrolls VI’s team may genuinely have been protected while a live-service team absorbing over a hundred lost staff clearly wasn’t. But it does mean “the roadmap is unaffected” isn’t a statement about Xbox’s restructuring. It’s a statement about one specific team’s staffing, issued at a moment when a studio one floor over was saying the opposite about theirs. Current and former staff have reportedly told IGN they expect delays, crunch, and heavier reliance on contractors unfamiliar with Bethesda’s internal tools regardless of what the official line says. Bethesda’s statement answers the question it was asked. It doesn’t answer the one everyone’s actually worried about.

  If it's not a big deal, why patch an 11 or 15 year old game? The truth of the matter, this is likely to become a huge issue where Bethesda is going to try and milk money from mods. I have very little hope left for Elder Scrolls VI, at this point. Bethesda has fallen.
