What big surprise does Bethesda have planned for E3 2010?

This question has been picking at my brain since reading up on Bethesda’s list of games to be at E3. The magic four include Fallout: New Vegas, Rage, Brink, and Hunted: The Demon’s Forge. Interestingly, none of the four are actually being developed by Bethesda’s in-house team. So in that case, what is Bethesda Game Studios up to? The Elder Scrolls V? Elder Scrolls MMO? A new IP? Hmm…

[Cajun Chicken]

I know it'll probably be shown at Quakecon and is Id's other title apart from Rage...but come on...I really want to see something of Doom4.

[N4GAddict]

Me too. Been so long since Doom 3

[Bobbykotickrulesz]

ELDER SCROLLS V!!!

hyyyyyyyyng

[Darkstorn]

I'm hoping for Elder Scrolls 5. Morrowind's story and world was amazing, Oblivion made the Elder Scrolls formula super-accessible, and TES 5 should combine the best aspects of the two.

"Oblivion made the Elder Scrolls formula super-accessible"

not as much of a refinement to accessibility as Fallout 3 IMO. I hope the streamlined leveling system carries over to tES5. also Dear Bethesda, Please improve magic spells graphics. Sincerely, n to the b (well lightning was ok...)

[dktxx2]

Its TES 5 time Bethesda.

And you know, TES might be a series well suited for Move and Natal.

[hybridtheory12]

Unless its designed differently than Oblivion. With the melee and magic in oblivion, move and natal would fit perfectly. But TES 5 shouldnt be the same

[N4GAddict]

If they do that, they should make Move/NAtal optional

[dktxx2]

ya 100% optional, but think of oblivion's arena, with fully 1:1 sword and shield control, and just for that part of the game. itd be awesome imo.

but ya i dont mean the whole game should use move or natal as the primary control method. that would blow.

[Blacktric]

Casting spells with Move!

[Faztkiller]

Elder Scrolls 5 non MMO I hope also Really want to see some RAGE and DOOM

[Xof]

My money is on a game, any game, that they will bill specifically as not being "Oblivion with X," X being whatever the single defining trait of that game is. And the game itself will simply be Oblivion with X.

If it's TESV, expect Oblivion... again.

[Canary]

Bethesda may not be the best developer out there, far from it, but their games do manage to be fairly entertaining for a very long time, even if the writing does leave a bitter aftertaste.

And I think the biggest problem with TES isn't Bethesda, but the TES series itself. It's a very cliche world (from what I've seen in TES3 and TES4), with very boring monsters to fight. I don't think TESV will be any good unless it can include enemies that are bigger and more menacing. Like dragons and wyverns and bigass trolls. When the biggest enemy in the game is only twice as tall as the player and goes down in two hits, something's wrong with the game.

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

i think the surprise of bethesda will be releasing a game without any bug.

[asdf12]

A game that doesn't freeze my PS3.

I played F3 for over 250 hours, did everything, but it froze pretty often.

[poeo]

try the DLC on PS3... it's an unplayable pile of garbage code.

it's really amazing how Bethesda got away with that crime.

[EXID]

yeah, bethesda has some pretty crippling glitches in there stuff. i guess it can't be helped initially with their games being so huge, but for them to not even patch it after the fact... that's pretty lame =/

...................
.
Fallout: New Vegas is going to be the focus this E3. ( I know Obsidian is doing it.)
.
Bethesda's own internal studio is doing the next Elder Scrolls game, but I don't expect an announcement yet.
.
Again because it would take away from Fallout: New Vegas.

[Canary]

I think the timing of the announcment depends more on how close the game is to release than other competing products. I wouldn't be suprised to see TESV announced, especially if they're angling for a release between Q42010 and Q2 2011.

[NecrumSlavery]

Give me an elder scrolls with more variety. Oblivion seemed to much of the same. Almost a dungeon crawler. The lost painter quest was brilliant though. I want more epic and WTF scenes like that.

God hope the next ES Or FO game isn't an MMO. Unless it's on PS3 too. Or else it'll be another RPG to MMO that many won't be able to play

[TheJudgement]

With Move can only dream.

[yamzilla]

Next Gen consoles and PC Please.....

I can wait till 2011

Don't waste time on the tail end of the console cycle.....

I know no one wants to hear it but this gen is almost over!!!!

[kaos_fish II]

Is Doom 4 a true sequel or is it a reboot of the whole thing? Want to see some 'Rage' gameplay videos (but that will probably be a 'QuakeCon' in August)

Some Elder Scrolls V news would be cool too.

[Allowen]

Elder Scrolls 5 might appear at this E3 but it will only launch around november of 2011.

Bethsoft no way would launch their game this year still to fight against other big franshise Fallout.
Obsidiam is making FA: New Vegas but it is nethsoft that owns "Fallout"now.

[NecrumSlavery]

Everyone wants ES:V, me too.
But I'm still keeping crossed fingers for a Fallout 4 (New York or New Orleans) game

[VladimirK]

Sure, I would love TES V, there's no question of that.

But I would be estatic even just if they gave Morrowind an overhaul, (updated graphics, better quest journal and perhaps quick travel), since that is the single game that I can confidently label as my favourite of all the games I've played.

[C0MPUT3R]

Morrowind is the best, that is why it won't happen.

[TheLaughingMan]

I hope to god they announce Elder Scrolls 5.

[EXID]

i'd definitely want an elder scrolls 5 more than anything else they have right now. that game could be so great now...

[NumeroUno]

Elders Scrolls V is going to be HUGE! I know, for one, Oblivion and Fallout still don't get old, even with the "next-gen" RPGs coming out.
