Bethesda’s London Event

@HighSpeedIndeed:
I think he/she(sorry dude/tte, name and pic are ambiguous) meant TES:V news instead of Fallout 3 new's. with which I whole heartedly agree. I know Blood of hte Steel comes out soon and roughly what is about,, but I want to now know about TESV.

@saulpimpson:
Tehy joy of Fallout/Oblivion, where theres a Will theres a way. If folks want Fallout:London/DisneyLand/hometown and they have the effort, they can make it.

@Vecha: I think they upped the number to 9 for Fallout....

@xAnarChisTx: I don't know if you are trying to correct me or what, but that is exactly what I meant.

@Tom Clancy's Samuraidino:

Nah. They should just get Stewart and Bean to do ALL the roles between 'em.

@Tom Clancy's Samuraidino:

Didn't FO3 have more voice actors than oblivion? or am I mistaken?

@HighSpeedIndeed: Yeah, seeing how it first came out in 1994, whereas Fallout came out in 1997.

You do get paid for your coverage, get off your high horse punk.

@Iarwain: Isn't Elder Scrolls even older news than Fallout?

@danielrux: I would think it would be so big it would have to run off a server though.

@xAnarChisTx: I'd buy/play it.

@BillyTheRatKing: No thanks,id rather not spend a game listening to the same 7 voice actors that Bethesda hires attempting English Accents....

I have always thought it would be nice to have a truely open world fallout version, ya know...UK, russia, hell even canada! With some of the mods im seeing for fallout 3 out there I wonder that one isnt already in the works!

danielrux

@joefro: ....hmmm. Well, I suppose if they just use the Fallout engine, that's most of the work right there (it likely doesn't need much in the way of upgrading, after all). But hey, I'd be happy no matter when they announce/release it. And 2010 would keep their 4-year release pattern going (at least with the last 2).

Fallout is old news now. We want more Elder Scrolls!

@Ber'Zophus: Actually, a rep from Bethesda said something along the lines of, TES V could come out in 2010. Here's to hoping for an E3 announcement!

@xAnarChisTx: that would be an awesome mod.

@BillyTheRatKing: So the trailer would start out playing from the inside of a red double decker bus then, before showing a ruined Big Ben and panning across some mutated gypsies hoisting guns.

Pudgie'sSmokerGivesAGoodTongueing

@Spoony Bard: I guess they'll try to keep on melking the fallout brahmin before going on with something else.

+ Watch video

Eschekt

@Spoony Bard: I was hoping they'd announce that too. Though with the Fallout 3 DLC still being worked on, they probably haven't even passed the planning stage yet for the next ES. But I can still dream....just like I can dream ES5 will be closer to Morrowind than Oblivion.

@BillyTheRatKing: I'd say let it take place in Disney World. That would be interesting...

@BillyTheRatKing: Seeing the Big Ben clock tower destroyed would make me cry a little

FunkyMunxy

@BillyTheRatKing: i agree the moon and ondon both be great fallout settings. vegas isn't my first choice basically.

SwindleUK

@BillyTheRatKing: yeah! they wouldn't have to destroy anything to make it post-apocoliptic either.

It's too bad we didn't hear anything about the new Elder Scrolls game. Hopefully they'll announce that sometime soon - as much as I love Fallout, there's just something special about the Elder Scrolls universe to me.

@BillyTheRatKing: THE MOON?!!!

Hey, that makes me think of a great place for a Fallout game...

Not exactly the Elders Scrolls news I was hoping for, lads. It's going to be a long year-and-a-half (minimum) ...

At least this explains the torrent of Bethesda posts !

@Ber'Zophus:

I just dearly hope they go back to the skill-leveling system of ES. Having a static lockpick and sneak skill in FO3 was so lame; on the reverse point of view it also made you an uber sneaker if you tag it and pump the skill.

Do not want.

@Colin Craig Pattinson:

Bingo, here's the reference I was referring to:

@Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: Exactly. I don't exactly agree with exclusive DLC but it was announced so long before Fallout 3 came out and that there are PS3 games getting exlusive content themselves (Batman having playable Joker)

Hello, Crrrunk - first time poster, long time lurker.

I'll have to dig up the article that refers to the practice but as I understand it, essentially, the reason that access to PSN is free is due to how bandwidth charges are directed at companies offering DLC. The larger the DLC offering, the more the company is required to fork over to Sony. That combined with the greater number of users using XBL's service and their acceptance of a MMO-style monthly subscription service (not to mention Microsoft's efforts of securing exclusive DLC for their platform), may simply make the Xbox 360 a more attractive development environment.

Colin Craig Pattinson

@CRRRUNK -AKA RedRing O'Houlihan:Oh for christ sake. Bethesda doesn't hate gamers. Blame Sony for being unwilling to pay for the DLC, stop blaming Bethesda for not porting content that's development was likely funded 100% by Microsoft.

Viable business strategy. It works -BOTH- ways on BOTH platforms.

Perhaps some one can explain why Bethesda hates Gamers who prefer to play on the PS3?

Sure the PS3 is hard to program for when compared to the PC and Xbox, but what has become apparent to me is adding DLC add-ons to PS games is actually quite easy.
It has to do with the file structure the PS3 uses.

CRRRUNK -AKA RedRing O'Houlihan

@danielrux: That would truly be awesome.. (I'd buy a new pc to play something like that)

Just thinking about the new creatures you might run into.. and the different environments.. man the possibilities are crazy awesome..

It' be nice if the game studio did literally have a planet's worth of space, as far as a game goes, and you could travel all over the place.. like you mention. I want a motorcycle to do my traveling on...

Of course.. Who out there individual or team, has the balls to tackle a project of that size? although I wonder if once someone got the ball rolling maybe others would join in.

--Core--

@HighSpeedIndeed: Indeed, HighSpeed, I know what you meant. I was just backing your comment with fact. No need to get peed on the deed, agreed?

@CaptainMurphy: Been in jail a few times have ya?

Pudgie'sSmokerGivesAGoodTongueing

Where the hell is my new Elder Scrolls I'm at lvl 67 in Oblivion I NEED another world to explore and I own Fallout. So make me a new Oblivion. Or I'll cry or something.

So Bethesda hosts a Gamer's Day event in London where they unveil, uhhh... nothing?

I'm terribly excited (that's sarcasm there) about the company choosing to publish a couple of generic genre titles, but maybe they shouldn't bother hosting a press event unless they have a, you know, actual Bethesda Softworks game to announce?

Just a thought. WET looks like Velvet Assassin, only more generic, and Rogue Warrior has apparently had every interesting part about it cut out in favor of Mickey Rourke one liners.

Yippee (also sarcasm).@BillyTheRatKing:

@BillyTheRatKing:

God, yes please.

Please announce the next Elder Scrolls title! I seriously don't care about Wet or Rogue Warrior (I'm so sorry), but Elder Scrolls is your gem and you are hiding it from me!!!!

(At least another DLC the size of Shivering Isles for oblivion plz?)

I'd love Fallout in Europe because they could even break the formula a little. Imagine, for example, that Europe went a bit further culturally than the culturally isolated U.S. during the plague and resource wars.

Wouldn't you love to fight 70s-80s era Punks and New-Wave hipsters in London's underground? Wouldn't it be awesome to know what happened to Europe, and the Soviet Union? I'd love it.

I'd also love a Japanese Fallout, but I think it was called Hokuto no Ken.

@xAnarChisTx: Ah, that's what I was hoping. Couldn't tell from the way it was worded if you were being helpful or something other than. Righto!
