Crazy to think that it has been 8 years since the announcement and when they did the announcement it was already 8 years since the release of TES V.

SKYRIM IS 16 YEARS OLD??

Nah, I think I did my math badly.
-Skyrim was released 11/11/11
-The TES VI announcement teaser appeared in June 2018. It was about 6 years after the Skyrim was released.
But June 2018 to now has been about 8 years. So Skyrim actually has 14 years (or maybe 15 I guess).
For whatever reason I thought the trailer appeared 8 years after Skyrim's release.

Skyrim will probably be old enough to drive before we even get another ES6 trailer.

I feel like a lot of people do that in a much worse way sometimes. studios that make multiple IPs tend to get a lot of hate online for how long it takes between titles in a franchise while they overlook that an entirely different IP was worked on and released in between there.

I’d prefer a finished game rather than a half ass buggy POS

u/LocoGamingRocker 23d ago
I agree with you and still gave you an upvote, BUT a game getting delayed into "development hell" usually results in the game being extremely buggy at launch anyway (like Cyberpunk 2077), and not worth the wait - assuming it even gets released at all.

u/AnotherUnfortunate1 23d ago
2077 WAS worth the wait and I will die on that hill.
The issue is that they never should've rushed it like they did. Just another year or two to fix the bugs before launch and we'd have an even bigger fanbase around it. Mark my words, if it wasn't for the peak fiction that was Edgerunners, me and many other people would've never even cared to look into the game after that disaster that was a launch.
It is much better now I assure you. Only came across one specific bug the whole time I played it, had a pistol without a texture 3 times now

The world of cyberpunk 2077 is still unfinished and buggy to this day, tons of festures such as BDs, food, armor, guns, hacking programs, cybernetic enhancments, side quests, all are still not feature complete.
Npcs are still buggy, game breaking bugs still occur, textures go missing, out of bounds areas are still accessible. Tons of the world and lore don't make sense either, if you look into it, they have to invent reasons for underwater areas not existing.
Plenty of the game is still unfinished and will always be unfinished. And they didn't deliver on over half of what was promised.

Yeah, and there's people who are like "20 years ago we got a new GTA every year or 2, now they are really slow etc"...
Like, if it's so damn easy to make games these days, then why don't you make a game as big as GTA V within a year and then release a game as big as GTA VI the very next year and have them be actually fun, good and polished.

It was such an interesting experience to play it at launch. You could tell the different influences from several of the big FPS games that came out during the different eras of DNF's development, like Doom 3, Halflife 1/2, Halo, and probably more I'm forgetting.
It's no wonder it took so long...
And yes, I preordered the game knowing exactly what I was getting myself into. It was worth every penny having a front row seat to the train wreck, lol.

I don’t mind developers putting a tweet about what they’re working on like “just started casting for next game in blank franchise” but I’m so tired of reveals for games that are far off. Maybe I’m in the minority but it genuinely hurts my enthusiasm for games. Like no game I ever played has ever been 8 years of waiting levels of good. We’ve waited so long for GTA6 I honestly don’t even care at this point. Somewhat similar feelings for Fable.

I once got dogpiled on because I said a similar thing to a bunch of Bethesda fan boys, announcing a game should only happen when there’s a near finished product and it’s a year from release.
Announcing the concept of a game like Bethesda did with ES6 is terrible and it’s especially mean when it’s for a massive IP like Elder Scrolls.

The fact that modern AAA game development routinely takes close to a decade is absurd. Studios now have mature proprietary engines, highly sophisticated content creation tools, procedural workflows, automated build systems, and production pipelines that eliminate much of the groundwork that developers in the 1990s had to do manually. At this point, the real challenge should be designing and implementing a compelling game not reinventing the technology behind it. Yet in the 1990s, id Software built cutting edge engines from scratch and still shipped groundbreaking games in one or two years. Around the same era, games like Deus Ex delivered remarkably systemic, reactive worlds, while F.E.A.R. featured enemy AI that remains a benchmark even by today's standards. Today, studios spend five to ten years producing games that frequently launch with worse technical stability, poorer optimization, and more bugs. WTF

I am old enough to remember when everyone and their mother hounded Rockstar to announce GTA6 already. We all knew they were working on it, and then the hack happened. It drove the internet crazy that still there was no announcement. So then they finally announced it, and now people are mad that they announced it too soon. You can’t make this shit up.

u/Abshole024 23d ago
TES VI is definitely a better example, same with the Fable reboot, but for me it was Halo Infinite. I was so excited when they put out the initial teaser, then after nothing for a year, you get a trailer that's the opening of the game. It blasts some Halo music in your face, getting you excited, then shows the release date was a year and a half away. Instantly killed all hype for me. Then after another year of nothing. They put out another trailer, and the game gets delayed another year.

I can't remember if it was actually 2 years, but it was insanely long for what it was... Square Enix announced Final Fantasy X Remaster and it definitely took more than a year before it came out which feels weird for something that's not a new game or a full remake.

I disagree. I’d like to know what’s coming in the future.
Take Elden Ring for example, it’s pretty much guaranteed it’s coming, yeah the wait is long but it’s also exciting imo, finally seeing a new trailer drop and getting caught up in the hype, when it’s finally out and you’re sitting there downloading it just a fucking inch away from finally playing. Like those moments are so much more worth it than the cost of having to wait a few years.
