Some of you may not know this classic game series. I would not be surprised but saddened as you have lost out on great experiences. Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic's (KOTOR) first release was in 2003 and the second one in 2004. What made me, and other people, hold these games in high regards was definitely the story. Whilst you were forced into certain choices, most of what happened in the playthrough was your decision. You wanted to be the (almost) comically evil person destroying everything he touches? No problem. You wanted to be ho holier than thou, (arguably) sci-fi universe's equivalent of a nun? You do you. All of that with sort of a turn based combat system with some DnDish (Dungeon and Dragons) dice element to decide all the calculations. But since we focus on the future, let's talk about KOTOR 3. We know that LucasArts in 2004 has made cuts to the budget, which also, unfortunately for many fans, included putting the KOTOR 3, which was in the design ph
The Elder scrolls games series is an undoubtedly legendary one. As a series role playing games (RPG) that has began all the way back in 1994, TES has always amazed the people with diversity of land, chracaters as well as with the depth of the stories and the size of it.
The most well known example of this would be the most recent release by Bethesda Game Studios, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This giant of a game was released back in 2011.
Besides the things I have mentioned some of the other things most frequently brought up by Skyrim fans were:
- Flexibility of the game (Both in terms of the gameplay itself as well as changing/adding elements of it, commonly referred to as "Modding)
- Availability (Since 2011 it has been released on probably every single that could handle it technologically and physically)
- Freedom of choice (You can do pretty much what you want, no "railroading")
We don't know how much progress they have made since then, but considering the emergence of COVID-19 and the impact it had on pretty much everything amongst other factors the consensus appears to be a release in 2026 would be the most realistic case.
We know that graphics will improve significantly as the last TES release was 11 years ago, that is a given.
What we also know is that bethesda inteneds to continue its tradition of pushing the limits in its field, as confirmed by Todd Howard, the director and executive producer at Bethesda Game Studios.
What could happen specifically is largely guess work. Personally I expect TES VI to be more VR friendly than skyrim, assuming the 2026 release will be the one Bethesda elects to go with. What do you expect from TES VI?

As I am aware there were some comments regaridng regularity of my posts and such:
ReplyDeleteCertain personal matters got in the way but that's all solved for now.
I intend to post 1 more blog entry at some point today (Roughly 5-6 hours to not confuse those outside of the UK). That will likely be the last entry as this blog is a form of an assessment.
Please share if you liked what you've read so far. :)
Looks interesting, good luck with your uni assessment!
DeleteReally though, waiting 15 years for a game? Jeeesus.
I wonder if TES 6 will also have 4141410 different editions on 421561261 different devices.
