Game Skyrim Forum

My main point is that perhaps Bethesda will focus more on gameplay than graphics, thus making graphics limitations not a huge obstacle for making TESV on current generation consoles, thus not elimitating the possibility for TESV to be released sooner rather than later.

While doing some research on a new TES title, I stumbeled upon the LinkedIn profile of http://www.linkedin.com/pub/christiane-meister/b/135/562
Her job description is as follows: September 1999 ? Present (10 years 5 months)

Lead Character Animator on Morrowind and Oblivion and Lead Character Artist on future Elderscrolls titles.

I thought it may have been an outdated description written before she knew she'd be working on FO3, but I looked through FO3's credits and her name is nowhere to be found.
Does this mean she has been working on TESV after the completion of Shivering Isles (March 2007) ? I think so.

Just because they said they are going to last ten years doesn't mean they are going to be the latest generation for ten years. The Playstation 2 lasted for far over its lifespan because of Sony and developers' support but it was not the latest Sony console.

What I expect is that they plan to release new consoles rather soon but still support their old ones rather heavily so that they can make the most money out of them as they can. This is because both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 were rather large money sinks to the companies at the beginning of their lives, whereas the Wii was a huge success and made far more money than Nintendo put into it. The 260 and PS3 are still struggling to make a profit, especially in the face of setbacks like the red ring or the PS3's high price tag that plagued them for so long.

I am not sure if we will see TESV on this generation or the next. Both the 360 and PS3 have a lot to offer still, both graphically and hardware. What some people fail to understand is that, despite having worse hardware than a computer, a console has much less work to do because it has no (or few, as most of today's consoles have a sort of desktop running in the background) programs running in the background. They can devote the majority of their power to running the games they play. Proper optimization can make use of this and make a 3+ year old console run a brand new game as if the console had never aged. Hell, just look at Halo 2 on the Xbox. It pushed it to it's limit (so much so that the cutscenes had to load in 4 parts and you could see that loading at the beginning of the scene) and the game looked beautiful on a console where Halo:Combat Evolved once looked great.

I don't believe that there should be any limitation to having another TES game on modern consoles, but Bethesda may also be negotiating with Microsoft or Sony such that their game would be a release title on their newest systems, as with Oblivion (well, almost if it weren't for the delays).

I remember her from the video "making elder scrolls 4". she was at the zoo or somewhere like that showing a horse,saying "every joint is connected, they don't move individually."

It was her own horse.

I bet she calls it Polygon. If she's geek enough that is.

Her name is Miss Piggy.

It only sais she's a full-time employee who will be included in all TES related projects...

And she didn't work on FO3. What did she do, took a couple of years off during the development of FO3? No, she probably worked on TES5

News: Someone from Bethesda will be at GDC 2010!
Bad news: It was the lead level designer for Fallout 3. Nothing against you Joel but if it was a level designer from say Shivering Isles then the chances of discussing something about TESV would have been much higher.

The team who created Fallout 3 also created Oblivion and Morrowind.

She gave birth.

She gave birth.

I assume tombofsoldier meant http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Joel_Burgess (designer for Fallout 3) , not the whole team.


Is that so.

Paul Oughton is a "publishing executive" and not really a developer. And that article is over a year old, you will not see a new TES released in 2010.

Anyone think that maybe they'll put an add in the front or back of book 2 saying something like "A prequel to ELDER SCROLLS 5 _______ (we'll say Skyrim but wahtever it \ends up being called) due late 2010" or whenever?
