StrategistPockystix Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 http://www.siliconer...elease-in-2013/ As one commenter said; "It'll be the buggiest MMO on the market and it'll still get game of the year. Calling it now. " I agree wholeheartedly thoughts? *EDIT* http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2012/05/elder-scrolls-mmo-details/ these details will make anyone hoping for a real ES online game cry it's just another hotkey turn-based mess, with fixed classes and factions. . . I hate bringing up WoW, but it's WoW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdok Dracul Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I wouldn't mind a multiplayer mode for maybe 2-4 people in The Elder Scrolls, but I can't imagine an MMO running very smoothly, or being very good in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 This has been planned for a while... Still, I would've preferred Bethesda to not shit on the Fallout MMO that was in development by Interplay. Now that could've been awesome. Fallout was already packaged as a neat desktop-dungeon adventure. MMO was written all over its possible future. Like the new Survarium game, I'm interested to see how they're going to open up to an MMO without losing something in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrategistPockystix Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Jesus Christ what is it with everyone on the planet trying to hop on the MMO bandwagon to ruin their franchises? y'know, the creators of Amalur want to make their next game into an MMO to me, that's an incredibly stupid decision. While Amalur wasn't a perfect game, it got it's combat system down, and slapped Skyrim in the face with it. But what they needed to do with a followup is actually improve upon some things. Up the challenge, increase the amount of abilities, weapons and armor for each destiny, and most of all: improve the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 predictable/10. I think it's going to be the same as TOR - a single-player company tries to delve into MMORPGs and creates a passing (or even good) single-player game that has none of the characteristics of a great MMO.

Ike-Mike Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Jesus Christ what is it with everyone on the planet trying to hop on the MMO bandwagon to ruin their franchises? People copying WoW too precisely, even incorporating the flaws that prevent it from being even more huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I thought thought they originally wanted to make the first game an MMO. IIRC it was just kind of outside their reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandjackal Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Ya know, as I was playing Skyrim (and still am, since I'm hooked), I thought to myself how awesome it would be if it just allowed more people to play than just one. If that's all they touched up on (and kinda went with the Diablo 2 system in being able to enter multiple games of course), and then let you have all to Tamriel to run around in, it would be golden. I would make love to that game. I would throw money at Bethesda. But if they wanna outsource it to someone trying to copy WoW, well then that's their loss. It could have been so incredibly easy for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been so incredibly easy for them. There was an online co-adventuring mod available about a month after the game released. It may have progressed since then as well. That answers your desire for multi-person gameplay. Mods will also expand the land for your exploration--that meets it too.

Onestep Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I just don't understand why they're doing this. Elder Scroll game mechanics are so utteryl, utterly against multiplayer games that the only way to make this work is to completely throw them out the window. Which means this'll be an Elder Scrolls game in setting only. Which will be a shame. Actually, I do understand why they're doing this. Money. They're doing this for the absolute metric ****ton of revenue this will generate. And that hurts me deeper than I care to say. Or it would, if I wasn't so used to my favourite western developers selling out left, right and centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
