A bunch of launch game info.
ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.
Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…
Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.
I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
Before anyone wonders: this info is coming from Laura Dale, who has been cooperating with Emily Rodgers for many of the as-of-now true rumors we once heard regarding the Switch, so this source is somewhat believable.
Now then, as to the article...
Key notes:
On Mario;
"The title will apparently feature a 3D open world hub from which different worlds can be selected, with multiple objectives to complete in each, much like Mario 64 or Mario Galaxy.
This may seem obvious, but we share this information to specify that this will NOT be a Super Mario 3D World-style game, where the action is in 3D but each stage is a linear path designed to be completed a single time."
On the Splatoon port;
"We have also heard that the current plan is for the more expensive Switch SKU (stock keeping unit) to come bundled with a new version of Splatoon. A big part of the push for this will be a 1 vs 1 mode where two players on separate Switches can fight over a map, switching their weapon of choice at will mid-game.
Nintendo expects the short match nature of Splatoon to translate well to handheld multiplayer, in that players need only commit a few minutes to a full multiplayer match.
There are also plans to add additional single player content to the game, and for the Switch version of the game to have a similar free content output schedule to the one the Wii U version of the game enjoyed."
Finally, on Skyrim;
"Also, that Skyrim port Bethesda refuse to confirm is real is totally happening. We’ve heard it’s planned to be a launch day release for the system, to mirror the recent remastered version of the game, and to allow mods at some time post-launch. Mod support for Skyrim will not be there from day one, and much like the PS4 will be limited to mods made using existing in-game assets."
Cool!
Splatoon packed in makes too much sense. The Switch will be going core out the gate 😎
A new 3D open-world Mario?
Day one!
That sucks about Zelda, I don't see me buying Skyrim for it since I'm already getting it again for PS4.
I'm not sure what I'll play at launch since I don't care for the new Mario games. I'll have to wait and see what they announce for launch. Sorta had my heart set on Zelda at launch, but completely fine waiting if they are making the game better.
