  @TheGameVerse Bethesda will never get rid of that **** engine! Expect shitloads more loading screens in Fallout and Elder Scrolls VI as well as launch day bugs that will STILL BE THERE DECADES LATER bc Todd & his team are too ******* lazy to fix them! Case in point: While playing Oblivion Remastered I had to touch the Sigil Stones to close the Oblivion gates and transit back to Cyrodill but it wouldn’t work. Had to look it up AND FOUND OUT IT’S A ******* BUG FROM THE ORIGINAL 2006 LAUNCH VERSION! THEY NEVER FIXED IT! IT’S A 20 YEAR OLD BUG! I had to go into the menu and toggle the graphics settings to trigger the transition!😭😭😭 Fuckn **** legacy studio.😒

  @RinoTheBouncer That 2011 outage is why I left PlayStation but if I can I will get a PS6, its going to have more than double the install base of the next Xbox (if Xbox even makes a console). Really pissed about the discs though, since the word was the PS6 was also going to play PS4 and PS5 Discs.....and I was looking forward to getting a number of PS4 and PS5 games I missed out on. I assume those games will play on the PS6 but they will be digital and probably not nearly as inexpensive. I'll have GTA VI eventually........unless I get it as a gift I really don't care about the game very much......the way people feel about GTA VI is how I feel about The Elder Scrolls VI. Someone dumping shares when you know they had to have taken a hit as well, it sadly typical.......I would have held for a little while longer. Sure people are big mad against PlayStation right now but if you were like "Playstation 6 Coming Holiday 2027 Pre Order Now"........it would be sold out and on backorder before the commercial was even over. Maybe, Maybe they can have an all digital future.......but why not an "OPTIONAL" Disc Drive with it? Even if there are 0 PS6 games on Discs, people would still want to play movies on it (4K Discs among other formats) as well as maybe discs from the PS4 and PS5. Since we all know Sony is going to make you buy it again if you don't already own a digital copy of a game you also own on disc. Then by the time PS7 comes out people would be as fully integrated as possible with the digital formats.....probably well over 95% of all sales by then or 100% if its the only format.

  @nuhre_ I REALY want an Elder Scrolls 6. But from Bethesda as it was 10+ years ago, not Bethesda of today. I honestly want them to crash and burn before they make a 6th and ruin it like I know they will. They were my favorite, and they have lost favor.

  monke (@air_bagged) reported 6 minutes ago

  @GenePark The thing with exclusives is that I have a 300 games backlog on PC and I can live without Elder Scrolls or God Of War. Especially after Starfield. Most PC players think the same and nobody buying 2 consoles at 1000$+ each next gen without physical media. The crash is here.

  @katanaollie @ZakkenKloot Assuming elder scrolls 6 is good. Who knows maybe a live service game with micro transactions.

  MisterMalaka (@MisterMalaka) reported 11 minutes ago

  @KeithandMovies @shinobi602 The problem being solved is having both a Fallout and Elder Scrolls game being made at the same time. New leadership knows how to find a way to make both a Fallout and Avowed too. That just isn't an actual problem since Avowed isn't in demand.

  Giga Puddi (@AoiAmore) reported 14 minutes ago

  @AdYoration Yeah, that's how I feel. They've done jack **** with Elder Scrolls aside for live service slop like ESO or just lame mobile games. Now they're feeling the heat I guess. I'm not confident that TESVI will be any good if Shartfield is any indication of quality.

  Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported 14 minutes ago

  @HazzadorGamin The problem is that trailer didn't give the impression that "Hey we're in the early stages of planning the next Elder Scrolls game." That trailer implied "It's in active development." when it clearly wasn't. It was basically "yeah we're going to work on TES 6 eventually."

• 
  PlayLaughLogan (@PlayLaughLogan) reported 15 minutes ago

  @JuiceHead33 The actual problem is that most of the time we spend waiting isn't the same time that they're spending making the game. Skyrim came out in 2011 and they only *started* active development of Elder Scrolls 6 in 2023.

  No body gives a **** about your ****** Elder Scrolls port. No disc. No buy. You continue to hurt every game you post by not addressing these issues. **** you and your shareholders.

  While I'm very happy that Xbox plans on investing more in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, my one concern is that I don't want them to turn The Elder Scrolls into a vending machine of spin offs. 15 years is way too long between games, but we don't want the opposite issue where there's too much of it. What I think @Xbox should do is make The Elder Scrolls have a bigger impact when it comes to media. I see so much Fallout merch, and even annual gatherings, it would be nice to see The Elder Scrolls get that same treatment, especially with Elder Scrolls being my favorite game franchise. I also think that we are due for a new trailer for TES VI. I definitely love Bethesdas short reveal to release window, but I think pulling back the curtain ever so slightly on TES VI would be a good thing. They can still save a full reveal for a later date. This year marks 15 years since Skyrim, so I can't think of a better time on the topic of Fallout, I don't mind if other studios get to do a spin off. It happened with New Vegas while BGS was busy with Skyrim, so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't happen again. Or a remaster of Fallout 3 even, which is apparently coming. More remasters would do wonders. #Elderscrolls #Fallout

  @Pirat_Nation So live service was not the play after all Who would have guessed Didn't they announce Elder scrolls 6 years ago? Where is it? Oh here... - The Elder Scrolls 6 was officially announced by Bethesda on June 10, 2018, during their E3 showcase.

  UndergroundGamer (@Undergroun53211) reported 22 minutes ago

  If @Xbox and @asha_shar are serious about pushing their core IP's to the max potential then there are several things that need to be addressed: 1. Studio dedicated to Remakes/Remasters - There are too many games that could use the Oblivion treatment that can do numbers. Fallout 3/Fallout New Vegas/Elder Scrolls Daggerfall/Morrowind 2. Studio dedicated to breathing new life into the mascot era IP's - Banjo and Kazooie/Battletoads/Crash Bandicoot/Blinx/Conker 3. Studio dedicated to a crossover platform - HaloxDoom/SOTxMinecraft 4. New categories in older IP's - Halo:Horror/Gears Tactics 2

  @xaviersonline_ why is it assumed that you must “age out” of the hobby? Nobody talks that way about enjoying movies or similar. anyways tho it’s **** elder scrolls, no one cares anymore and it’s gonna be ‘build your own castle’ slop and that’s the main issue, aging out or not.

  Opening quest broken, no response from @TESOnline - rogue’s house not counting all 4 fragments. You didn’t get it right.

  Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported 27 minutes ago

  @HazzadorGamin However in between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, they also released Skyrim....uh the original Skyrim, not one of the many re-releases that is. Now they don't do that. So the problem isn't necessarily the dev time of Elder Scrolls 6 and how long it's taking it's they released that

  Brook (@huttese_bebop) reported 31 minutes ago

  @GenePark probably not. I've been playing Elder Scrolls on PC since childhood, I resent Microsoft for buying up every loose studio they could to feed game pass thinking they had the next infinite money glitch in gaming, only to shutter these studios and lay off generational talent.

  @MarcelynnGrimm @tapecandydrums @Gravantus ESO is a C tier MMO. If it wasn’t piggybacking off the Elder Scrolls branding, it would’ve gone end of service a decade ago. It’s done so much damage to the lore too. Every time I hear some ES lore and think “What? That’s retarded! What game is that from?” It’s always from ESO.

  @GenePark Nope Elder Scrolls was a pc born series and after playing Oblivion on PS3 I refuse to play any other on console cause at least I can fix the bugs on PC

  andy (@andymke) reported 50 minutes ago

  @a_space_alien @JuiceHead33 Yes the long term employees can help develop new talent, but they're also the least likely to want to try something new the "We've always done it this way" mind set is powerful in long time workers "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" you might say, but 15 years and counting for a new Elder Scrolls game shows that something at Bethesda is broken and needs to be fixed.

  CIA (@cia_rumored) reported 51 minutes ago

  @AndreBelluzzo @kabrutusdeid The size of the game is not a relevant issue to me. The game is what many Elder Scrolls fans have asked for: a 1:1 update with glitches included. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it's tasteful. And in a world where $ 70–$80+ games exist, they listed it at $50. It's not Game of the Year, but it's a totally fine game for people who've wanted to replay Oblivion without it looking like a potato. Bethesda is a horribly managed company, but this was not a miss.

  @JezCorden I really am. It does make me sad how hard you are on Xbox sometimes. I get some people don't like job cuts, but she's fixing a problem that she didn't create. They bought a million studios during covid to boost game pass and obviously it didn't work. They are draining 60 cents out of every 100 keeping dead studios alive. And like Asha said there are like 13 levels of management at times. I get that they also cut other people but some of those roles could have been redundancies that weren't necessary. Remember some of these games took 10 years to make a game that would barely make any money. Some of these studios are not doing the work they need to do. I don't like exclusives but it's definitely the way to get people to buy Xbox in the future. Getting all of their popular titles actually released. Personally I don't think they released elder scrolls 6 because they were trying to milk the MMO for as long as they can. So they didn't prioritize development. Phil Spencer let the studios do whatever they wanted and he was praised because people were worried that Microsoft would get too involved. But studios were allowed to do very little to nothing for 8 years and get away with it. All to release some indie game no one would buy even on PlayStation. People are making all these videos about Xbox dying and they have been for weeks but it's silly. It was dying. She saw the issues. She's addressing them. The toughest issue yet is the console pricing but everyone is dealing with that. She's not getting close to enough credit. People get in their feelings about Job losses and I can understand why but Sony ditched almost the same amount of employees too. They barely got any flack. I get Windows Central and other places should be neutral but we also need people to stand against all the PS5 fanboys who are just hating on Xbox to justify their purchases. We need people to bring balance. To say yes. Xbox was in a crap situation but IT IS better. We have game pass. We have a better subscription service than sony. We have Xbox play Anywhere which is massive for people with gaming handhelds or PCS. I saved so much money being able to play games on both handheld and console. And we have a bright future with great exclusive games and high-end titles that most of us want to play rather than boring titles none of us would buy. I think she's doing great. Even if it has been rough times

  @werty2346 @vicious696 They spent a good couple years making starfield, upgrading the engine, then once that finished went onto elder scrolls while still making starfield DLC and content updates. Doing all this while maintaining a multiplayer live service, developing a newer version of their engine

  @neontaster Again the problem of their bad management probably still exists. Wanting Elder Scrolls, Fallout, ect games out quicker does not make them come out quicker if management is still bad.
