Oblivion. And then what?

how about being able to input 3-10 photos of yourself, at different angles, into the game, and you would be able to play as yourself!!

you can already do that in some games, but in TES? hmmm, I prefer being someone else...

broseph this topic is pretty old now, and you haven't added a great deal to the discussion. Although, I will admit that the Crysis pics and vids blow away anything I've ever seen, including Unreal 3.

 

But I think this thread could be resurrected now, since we've seen Oblivion now. So will they make a TES V? Answer: Of course they will. Even if the game makers of Bethsoft don't want to (and why wouldn't they) the marketting men who run the company now will demand one. Lets just hope the gamers there still control enough to stop a crappy game being turned out in nine months time and begin called TES V. That game deserves just as much care and attention as Oblivion and Morrowind has, and should be the leap in technology and gameplay as those games were.

actually i think your right we probebly will see TES V but not because the corperates push it but more because of the love of the game.

morrowind and oblivion are obviously well constructed and a labour of love, i can't talk of any earlier as i haven't had chance to play em, but i'd prolly find they're the same. you can probebly guarentee that they've allready drawn up some plans and are doing the concept artwork on tes V plus a nice host of storylines etc... TES is big money and its got that way because the creators love doing what they do.

 

i'm sure tes V will be everything we hoped it would be.

One problem with photorealism is the inevitable attraction to blood and gore. This would probablu result in an M rated game, and I know I would not want that. Not only do people not always like that kind of stuff, younger gamers like me would not be able to buy it without a parent, which makes the procsses even more complicated.

I don't know about that, just because you have photo-realism it doesn't necessarily follow that you'll have "real-life" amounts of blood and gore. I imagine there is quite a bit of work to code that for a start, but also its not always required. Look at the Chronicles of Narnia film; its surprisingly violent, yet it got a PG rating because it doesn't spill a drop of blood throughout.

I think that since the LOTR trilogy there has been seen an increased acceptance in what can make a pg film, also with the next gen versions of game types like GTA, Manhunt and pretty much every 1st person shooter under the sun, oblivion pales in comparison to how blood quantity is seen in these game types, theres no real reason to expect that beth would suddenly step that up to a larger level than what we see now. Also I think that people being steadily desensitised to violence means that as said with Narnia and LOTR censors are allowing more through than they used to.

 

And to answer the post point, I'm sure there will be another in the series, 1) they sell to well not to 2) the people at beth seem to put a lot into these series so why the hell not, go on bethesda, make another one, you know you want to! :D

I love Tamriel, so I'd rather see them stick with this than Yokuda or Akavir, but I want more ground to cover. Covering Summerset Isles, Elsweyr (sp?), and Valenwood all together would satisfy me for the next game, though I'd really really like to see Tamriel as one game. If the next game did fit all of Tamriel into it, it would set expectations for the next game to be very high, and where exactly would they go from there? Either Akavir or time travel I think, since what remains of Yokuda is small and perhaps incapable of supporting life.

 

 

 

Oblivion isn't big enough. I hope the first expansion covers additional provinces. Someone with an interest in the IP of Tamriel will want follow-ups for Oblivion so long as they sell even 25% as well.

I doubt they'll ever make a game featuring the whole of Tamriel together, at least in one release. It would just be way too much work to include an entire continent and all the people, cities, towns, villages, random caves and ruins... the list goes on. While I hope the Tamreil Rebuild guys will get to work on Oblivion (haven't checked their site to see if they will yet), I doubt it'll ever officially happen.

I can't help but notice how things get shot down. I think we will see some next-gen graphics but we won't truely obtain real looking graphics in a commercial sense. As soon as we do there is someone there to shoot it down, calling it bad for kids or bad for people in general. It's like the invention of the telephone all over again. I mean for example, in the late 90s there was a huge craze to spend millions of dollars in experimentation of skeletal animation. This gave us our first look at ragdoll physics, and raven software took it to the next level when they created soldier of fortune's body damage system based off the same technology. Now, if you want to see gore you're going to play a game that is going on 6 years old. I've yet to see a game truely top soldier of fortune IIs gore, and it's because of social barriers like this technological leaps will be hindered. Especially in big business... 3rd party development, God willing, will never see the heat created by our anti-gamer society. May the creativity behind smaller projects keep flowing, because those are the things our games are made of. Like project offset for example...
