Loud booing

The Elder Scrolls VI: Sentinel has not officially confirmed its target platforms, though industry reports and Xbox's business strategy point to a release on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Current Platform Expectations & Uncertainty

• Xbox and PC (Expected Exclusive): Following Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda Softworks' parent company ZeniMax Media, major first-party titles are heavily anchored to the Microsoft ecosystem. Leadership has increasingly leaned back into platform-exclusive releases for major tentpole franchises.
• PlayStation 5 / Future Consoles (Unconfirmed): Xbox has explicitly declined to confirm or deny whether the game will skip or arrive on PlayStation. While past Bethesda games were multiplatform, internal Xbox documents and recent strategic pivots suggest a PlayStation port is not a guaranteed or planned default.
• Game Pass Integration: As an Xbox first-party game, it will launch day-one on Xbox Game Pass for console and PC.

Asha better have Todd by the balls so we don't get a Starfield repeat.

That's a valid fear, and one I have, but you'd think the Elder Scrolls template and lore are robust enough to avoid that. Like, all they have to do is make a new world, update some graphics, and create some new story lines. Gameplay and mechanics have been pretty similar across the series.

Sentinel is such a lame name when you've got Hammerfell as an option.

It will be on PS5.

Microsoft wants the $ to cover all that cloud usage.

Most of the gaming base is PC, iirc

Playing on console is like drinking non-alcoholic beer

May be ok. . .but you are a ag

Can someone explain to me why people even think about this game anymore or why anyone would be excited about it considering Bethesda's track record since Skyrim and the type of manure that AAA studios have been putting out? If anything, I would just assume that this game will suck and is what ends Bethesda as a studio.

Same reason there was tentative excitement before the launch of Veilguard, Gears E-Day, and Post-Reach Halo


Hope

But yeah, if they frick this one up, Bethesda is a memory

Like I said, Asha better have Todd by the balls. They can't afford to frick this one up.

I enjoyed Fallout 4. That was 12 years ago, though

I dont think it will live up to the hype but the last 3 elder scrolls have gave us graphically incredible open worlds. TES online has its issues but the world still looks good.

This will be the ultimate litmus test game to see if AAA is out of the decade-plus slop slump.

Suffice to say a significant amount of the work done on the game during peak clown world was probably absolute arse and I assume they completely reworked it a few times given the delay.

ESO is great

Fallout 4 was not

Starfield was underwhelming

Bethesda needs this to be generational

If this isn't a runaway hit, I don't like Bethesda's chances

Morrowind is one of my favorite games of all time but id be fine with them doing abilities/perks the way they worked in skyrim.. Just give us the same attributes and build a damn elder scrolls game that feels like elder scrolls with combat that doesnt feel too terrible

Magic needs a staggering rework from Skyrim. It was godly in Morrowind, solid in Oblivion, and utter dogshit in Skyrim. Plus is was boring, which is even worse.

I am excited to see how they handle level ups, and I hope for the ability to turn off level scaling.

I like the idea of having to avoid areas that are too high, but when I fully level up, I want to feel like a God.

I remember enchanting was OP but crazy fun in Morrowind.

Don't remember why, just remember feeling that way.

Skyrim enchanting was boring and sanitized
