After two years of silence, Bethesda is very used to deflecting questions about its next, still unannounced game. But executive producer Todd Howard finally shared some info about the forthcoming project at this year's QuakeCon, telling Eurogamer that it's "pretty far along." Around 90 people are working on the game, and Howard predicts that the stretch between the project's announcement and launch will be the "the shortest it's been for us" (Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was announced in September 2004 and released in March 2006, and Fallout 3 was announced in July 2004 but not released until October 2008).

Additionally, he pointed out that the upcoming project will run on existing consoles and is built on the same engine that powered Oblivion and Fallout 3. "That's our starting point -- the Fallout 3 tech. It started with Morrowind, we went to Oblivion, we did a lot between Oblivion and Fallout 3 because now we had final hardware -- with Oblivion we had six months on final hardware, so Fallout 3 technically does a lot more than Oblivion. The new stuff is an even bigger jump from that," he said. He wouldn't get too specific on when we'd hear more, saying he didn't want to disappoint people by announcing an ... announcement that might shift later on.

Hopefully, Mr. Howard knows that disappointment will be harder to avoid if that announcement turns out to be anything but Elder Scrolls V.

Arvatavasti käib jutt TES:V kohta. Natuke pettumust valmistab see, et kasutatakse sama vana gamebyro mootorit.

EDIT:
TES V: Skyrim kasutab uut in-house mootorit ja release dateks on märgitud 11.11.2011.

Natuke huvitavat lugemist Skyrim kohta:

History

Skyrim, also known as the Old Kingdom or the Fatherland, was the first of the regions of Tamriel to be settled by humans, who migrated there from the land of Atmora in the north. The date of this migration is unknown, although it was during the time before the full flourishing of Elvish civlization. According to legend, Ysgramor landed first at Hsaarik Head, at the extreme northern tip of Skyrim's Broken Cape. It is said that he and his companions were fleeing a civil war in Atmora, which then supported a sizable population. They named the land Mereth, after the many elves that roamed the virgin forests of Tamriel.

For a long while, relations between the Elves and men were relatively peaceful. However, the Elves, seeing that the Nords, with their vastly shorter lifespans, fast rates of physical maturation and expedient (by Elvish standards) reproductive cycle, would eventually overtake them if left unchecked. At the time, men were viewed by Elves as being primitive and animal-like, and it was seen as no great moral remission to stop the spread of a potentially disastrous invasive species, who would destabilize the Tamrielic ecosystem. Thusly, Elvish pogroms razed the city of Saarthal on what became known as the Night of Tears. Only Ysgramor and two sons escaped back to Atmora, and, seeing the tenuous peace which had developed between the various factions, recognized the opportunity for their plight to become a great uniter for humanity as a whole. Within a few years, Ysgramor returned to Skyrim with an army known as the "Five Hundred Companions", composed of the heroes of the Atmoran civil war who, without much hesitation, drove the elves out and laid the foundations for the First Empire of Men.

Elves persisted within the borders of Skyrim until the reign of the Thirteenth of the Ysgramor Dynasty, King Harald, at the beginning of the First Era. Harald was the first to relinquish all holdings in Atmora (Until that time, the Nords of Atmora and Skyrim had been considered the same group), proclaiming that the people of Skyrim were an independent people. All humans on Tamriel are descended from these Nords, although some bloodlines run thin.

Vrage the Gifted started the expansion that would eventually lead to the First Empire of Men. Within fifty years of his reign, the Nords ruled all of Skyrim, as well as parts of High Rock, Cyrodiil, and the Dunmer lands of Morrowind. The acquisition of Morrowind was particularly bloody, still remembered in Morrowind today (The purpose of the formation of the Chimer-Dwemer kingdom of Resdayn was to expel the Nords).

The system which chose the successors to the empire eventually proved to be the Empire's undoing. For a great while the Moot, a gathering of the lords of the many different Holds, chose the successor to the Empire. This lasted well until the death of King Borgas, when the Moot failed to nominate the popular successor. From this came the disastrous Skyrim War of Succession, during which time High Rock, Cyrodiil, and Morrowind provinces seceded with little resistance from the Nords. The war did not end until the Pact of Chieftans, when the Moot was established to convene only when there was no clear successor.


Geography


Skyrim is the most rugged region in the continent, not only containing five of the highest peaks in Tamriel. Skyrim also is very snowy and cold, home to all manner of lycanthropes; being most common in the north. Only in the western reaches is there some measure of flat land, where most of the population resides. The rest of Skyrim is vertical; mountains, cliffs, and deep valleys. A variety of crops are raised in Skyrim, from wheat to the hardy snowberry. Of note is that the particular climate of Skyrim makes it the only region in Tamriel, outside of the most northern reaches of High Rock and Morrowind, suitable for the brewing of the infamous alcoholic beverage Nordic Whiskey, also known simply as "Rotgut". This is because that, in addition to the local availability of certain ingredients, several times during the distillation process, the substance must be subjected to extreme cold temperatures, so that it may freeze and refreeze. The drink is noted for the distinct "cold" taste, similar to extraordinarily strong mint, which persists as a feeling of ice in the stomach, as well as for the very deleterious nature of its content. Nordic Whiskey is illegal throughout the Empire, but this does not stop many proprietors from stocking smuggled bottles for those brave enough to try a mug.


Politics


The people of Skyrim are ruled by a hereditary King, and occasionally by a King appointed by the Moot. The majority of Skyrim are ruled by petty Kings and chieftans of villages. The Holds, where most of Skyrim lives, are ruled by mostly-elected Moots, as well as a Lord of some sort. Tiber Septim, and the rest of the Septim Dynasty, are descended from Nordic people, and the people of Skyrim feel that their time may be coming again.


Notable Places


Haafingar (Solitude)

The home of the famous Bards' College, Haafingar is also one of Skyrim's chief ports, and ships from up and down the coast can be found at her crowded quays, loading timber and salted cod for the markets of Wayrest, West Anvil, and Senchal. Founded during Skyrim's long Alessian flirtation, the Bards' College continues to flaunt a heretical streak, and its students are famous carousers, fittingly enough for their chosen trade. Students yearly invade the marketplace for week of revelry, the climax of which is the burning of "King Olaf" in effigy, possibly a now-forgotten contender in the War of Succession. Graduates have no trouble finding employment in noble households across Tamriel, including the restored Imperial Court in Cyrodiil, but many still choose to follow in the wandering footsteps of illustrious alumni such as Callisos and Morachellis.


Windhelm

Once the capital of the First Empire, the palace of the Ysgramor dynasty still dominates the center of the Old City. Windhelm was sacked during the War of Succession, and again by the Akaviri army of Ada'Soon Dir-Kamal; the Palace of the Kings is one of the few First Empire buildings that remains. Today, Windhelm remains the only sizable city in the otherwise determinedly rural Hold of Eastmarch, and serves as a base for Imperial troops guarding the Dunmeth Pass into Morrowind.


Throat of the World

This is the highest mountain in Skyrim, and the highest in Tamriel aside from Vvardenfell in Morrowind. The Nords believe men were formed on this mountain when the sky breathed onto the land. Hence the Song of Return refers not only to Ysgramor's return to Tamriel after the destruction of Saarthal, but to the Nords' return to what they believe was their original homeland. Pilgrims travel from across Skyrim to climb the Seven Thousand Steps to High Hrothgar, where the most ancient and honored Greybeards dwell in absolute silence in their quest to become ever more attuned to the voice of the sky.

[Scart]

Arusaamatu uudis. ID ju alles teatas QuakeConil, et IDT5 ei ole mõeldud litsentseerimiseks ning jääb ainult Bethesda oma stuudiote kasutamiseks. Kui nüüd TES5 ei tule selle peal ja ikka Gamebryo engine, siis mille kuradi peale IDT5'e tööle rakendama asutakse?

[madness]

[NeroEST]

See vana engine on tõesti natukene kurb uudis.
Oleneb, kes nad fixivad selle slow-motion suremise ja lisavad lõpuks dünaamilise valgustuse ( aasta on 2010 hetkel, oleks nagu aeg )

Ehk siis, nad peavad taaskord end story ja gameplay'ga müüma, engine nii oblivionil kui falloutil oli pain-in-the-ass ebameeldiv. Sellest hoolimata mängud ise on ühed parimad ever.
Morrowind oli oma aja kohta igatahes üle.

2002 ja morrowind oli täiesti unbelievable.
2006 ja oblivion oli next-gen
2008 ja fallout oli täiesti feil graafikaliselt. Nii outdated, et vähe ei ole. ( taaskord, mäng ise rokkis sajaga ja on mu lemmikute topis number 1 )

Eeldades crapboxi võimsust, on 2011/2012 ??? ja tes V/ Fo4 ??? suurem feil kui eelmine.
UNLESS nad SERIOUS muudatusi fallout 3 engine'sse sisse ei too.

Cheers!!

[NATAS999]

eieieiiii, TES5 PEAB tulema 2011 graafikaga vähemalt ja ma ei räägi doom3'st, mida siiani vorbitud on.

[Araablane]

Hea uudis aga nõustun teistega, graafika võiks ikka mingi muu mootori peal tulla või siis vähemalt tehku jooksmine korda

[Heineken]

Njah kurb tõesti et sama vana mootori peal... samas vast KÕIGE hullem see ka nüüd ei ole. Ja kindlasti jääb PC graafika umbes samasse kanti nagu Oblivioni või FO3 graafika, kuna sitakastkolmsadakuuskümmend ja kusekarpkolm ei ole võimelised ägedamat pilti jooksutama ja kes see ikka viitsib PC versiooni kallal ekstra palju vaeva näha et kenamat kraahvikat pakkuda mida konsooliomanikud eales ei näe.
Ja nagu teada enamus kasumist tuleb siiski konsoolidelt.
Nujah... egas midagi. Loodetavasti ei tule vääga dumbed down gameplayga nagu multiplatformimängudel tavaks saanud.

[Flavius]

Moditud Oblivioni graafika ikka väga ilus ja jookseb HD5850'ga vabalt, seetõttu vahet pole kui kasutavad vana mootorit, saavad ehk rohkem tegutseda sisu kallal.

[Timberg]

i dont give a shit.
morrowindil oli tes seeria mängudest parim atmosfäär ja see oli saavutatud level designi ja mussiga
juba oblivioni graafika sai modide ja twiikidega nii ära tuunida, et oioioioiioioioi... ja ei olnud sellel defauldil ka midagi viga.

ootan suurt maailma, paremaid võimalusi, mõnusat atmosfääri ja head gameplayid. jäägu eyecandy kasvõi samale tasemele, ostan igal juhul pc ja ps3'le selle.

[Heineken]

[Auron]

Graafilises mõttes annab sama mootori peal ka piisavalt "edasi minna".

[Andykas]

[Winterwind]

graafika oli oblivionis normaalne aga kahjuks ei saa seda sama öelda mängu enda kohta.

[Undefined]

[NATAS999]

ei old äkki piisavalt haardkoor

mulle küll oblivion väga meeldis.
teglt peaks uuesti peale laskma ja need maagilised modid ka, mis graafika hüpersuperiks teevad.

[Undefined]

Endale meeldis Daggerfall ja Morrowind kõige rohkem, sai Roleplay'da. Oblivionis maagiline nool näitab kuhu minema pead . Kuigi on küll mode mis selle ära võtavad kuid siiski ei saa sa piisavalt informatsiooni questidest mida sa tegema pead. Lootma ei saa enam jääda DEEP roleplay'd nagu Daggerfall ja Morrowind oli sest tänapäeval konsoolid ruulivad ja nüüd siis tehakse kõik nende jaoks lihtsamaks.

[iDemon]

Undefined, ignorance is bliss. Tõepoolest usud et mängu tehti "lihtsamaks" kuna asi on ka konsoolidel? Lmao, get back to your cave.

[Andykas]

Too nooleteema oli jah natuke nõme. Quest näitab mapi peal ilusti noolega ära, vajutad linna nime peal ja telepordid end sinna, niimoodi jääb pool mängust mängimatta. Samas teist või kolmandat korda läbi mängides ei viitsi tõesti neid metsi koguaeg läbi joosta. Ühe asjana tuli veel meelde see, et vastaste level liikus koguaeg koos peategelasega kaasa, polnud suurt vahet kas võitled roti või sookolliga.
Loodan, et need asjad on järgmises TESis parandatud.

[Undefined]

[NATAS999]

Andykas, kle oot nüüd ikka vähe. roti level ei kasvand sul kuhugi. alguses sealt vanglast ära põgenes oli võimalik ikka roti käest täielikult tappa saada. kui juba kõrgemaks olid leveldanud peategelase, et siis võisid roti ka kilbiga ära tappa

[iDemon]

Tjah, tundub nii. Kelle jaoks Oblivion kerge on võib ju raskutaseme lõppu lükata. Lolli AI'd see küll ei paranda aga see eest on neil ~x10 kõrgemad statsid.

[Andykas]

[MatchMaker]

Ega jah, kui nad suudavad animatsioonid paremaks muuta ja seekord ka vähe rohkem nn voice actoreid palgata siis võib mängust ka asja saada. Oblivioni graafika oli peale modimist ikka metsikult kena.

[Winterwind]

[nuubik]

No iseenesest TES4 mootoril polnud midagi häda, v.a. inimeste modelid ja animationid.
Kui nad igast otsast tõstaksid limiite, paremaid tekstuure jms teeksid, poleks graafikal midagi hullu.
