I've been an Elderscrolls fan since I was introduced to Bethesda's Daggerfall (Elderscrolls 2) in 1996. Looking forward to their latest release of the game, although I don't spend much time on them any longer. I heard there was supposed to be a release date for this year, but it might be just Bethsoft or fan hype.

age 14, circa 1994, mario cart, stoned as hell after school with friends. mk2 was another big one... when that came out on snes and sega.

I thought unreal tournament was fun circa 2000

took a long break from games.

Now, some of these new games are fun, read dead 2, shadows of war, sniper elite 4, shadow of the colossus - but i have other things that are far more important, although nice to have a ps5 as a break..

The original Bard's Tale trilogy from the 80s on the PC were my favorite games as a kid. As an adult my favorite games are pretty much anything from the Elders Scrolls series and Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield.

Starfield (by Bethesda) is coming out later this year. First new IP (and actually developed by Bethesda - Maryland) since Skyrim or one of the Fallout games. It's basically Skyrim in the space age. Full Bethesda treatment, so expect greatness.

There's also a game called Avowed by Obsidian on the radar. Should be Skyrim-esque.

Don't hold your breath until the next Elder Scrolls release though. Still a few years away, and practically nothing is known about it.

Skyrim isn't a new IP. It's a game in the elder scrolls franchise, elder scrolls being the IP.

Obsidian is the core group of people responsible for fallout 2 and new Vegas, aswell as Baldurs Gate. They're a far more competent and creative development team.

Bethesda is using a modified 20 year old game engine, which is part of the reason their massive RPG's are usually kind of broken at launch. Their saving grace is the community that has learned how to use their dev tools over the last 20 years to fix, improve, and create new content for their games.

Bethesda creates phenomenal worlds with shallow mechanics in the post Daggerfall/morrowind era. Vanilla skyrim being the best example. There's no incentive to be the greatest wizard, warrior, archer, or rogue because you can do literally everything, no matter what your characters background is, because the role your playing is simplified to "protagonist" and little else. It succeeds in being fun in spite of being an RPG, not because of it.

Sorry for the rant, I love Fallout 3 and I can't stand what's become of Bethesda.

You're right about Skyrim not being a new IP. What I should've said was this is Bethesda Maryland's (the main studio who devleoped Skyrim and Fallout 4, I think, and of course some of the previous games). They haven't created a new game since those. Fallout 76 and a few of the others were made by other studios under the Bethesda name, so that explains disasters like 76.

True the creation engine is old now, but I'd argue it's still one of the best sandbox/sim game engines out there, if not the best for that type of game.

And of course the mod potential... So to me it's gonna be like Skyrim in space, with all the good/bad/quirks of the creation engine, and I'm very much Ok with that :)

Streets of rage
Goldeneye
Socom 2
Battlefield 3
Pubg (first couple years, sucks now)
Fallout new vegas

Liked a couple final fantasy games, resident evil 4 and 5...n64 wrestling games were pretty dope. Played through Octo path traveller that was pretty cool, kinda grindy though.

My all-time favourite would probably be Metal Gear Solid from PS1. I must have finished the game at least 10 times over the years.

I think they have already re-released MGS 1, sons of liberty, and snake eater for ps5.
I’m gonna have to shell out and make the return back to PlayStation from the Xbox, it’d be rude not to.

It hasn't released yet, but its coming this year.

They're also re releasing 4 at some point in the near future, which has me fucking hyped.

You know it mate!!!
I’ve got the mini ps1 to play the original on and the sons of liberty, snake eater and peace walker collection on ps3.
I’m really interested to see how well they can buff up the original and what else they can do with it.

It’s pretty much perfection already so the bar is set high!

SNAAAAAAAAAKE!!!
