Could a possible failure from ESO hurt future TES games by Bethesda?

Soon is the keyword and we will not see it soon, as you say Fallout 4 is the logical next step, along with rewriting engine for next gen consoles, the jump from 512 MB to 8 GB gives lots of opportunities.bertenburnyb16_ESO wrote: »Moonglum83 wrote: »If eso fails (doubt it) it will not hurt the tes franchise. Zenimax and Bethesda are 2 different companies, Bethesda has produced a lot of quality games and I really don't think one game by a different company is going to do anything.
But its all owned by the same one company, so if one branch lose a lot of monety, all the branches will be affected maybe?
Pretty sure that is not how business works, especially brands under an umbrella organisation.bertenburnyb16_ESO wrote: »if there are still comming single player TES games
how many warcraft games have you seen after wow ... exactly
This is not WoW or Blizzard. I'm not trying to invalidate your argument, but this old comparison is becoming so overused it is on the verge of becoming a cliché.
What is you argument, anyway?
my argument? that I fear we'll not see another single player TES soon
Chances are we won't. Not because of Zenimax doing ESO, but because there is a high probability that what Bethesda is working on now is Fallout 4. After FO4 they might get back to the Elder Scrolls. Personally, I'm anticipating the ES game more than FO4, even though I'll probably get it. Although as long as ESO is around I won't have to worry about what to do with my game time.
TES 6 will not come for 3 years after Fallout 4 unless they uses two teams and develop both pretty much at the same time.
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

By that point of view, they can also goes the way of Dark Souls. It's both online and stand-alone. There're really some good option to create an online game without kicking out the stand alone feature of at all.
Also we never really know what next generation technologies development might makes something that's impossible to do right now possible in the future, who knows.
In today's perspective though, it's actually less risky for Bethesda to create another stand-alone rather than MMO, because they still got the hype. Most gamers will simply buy and try any new games based on an already successful franchise.
So, for TESVI they can still be more successfull doing it stand-alone than MMO. The trend might change for TES series only if TESVI done badly while the ESO goes great. Simply put, TESVI will have to be worst than ESO for TES series stand-alone to start dying and not a good business model anymore.1 -

✭Different teams and studios even if things share the same lore and eso is considered conon doubt we will see some of the odd names that became emp in the history lore books for single player games since they don't make sense.
Could see everyone's favorite lair speak those names.
The impression I have gotten is ESO has more made people hungry for the next single player game, so may help more then hinder.
That is the thing people where expecting Skyrim online for some odd reason and well got disappointed, plus some of the other bugs that are hanging around and a few other things have made people want single player eso games again.
You can only do so much things elder scrolls style in an online setting think people are still waking up and realizing that.
:P maybe there will be less fans demanding co-op in the single player games now at-least.Edited by RedTalon on August 28, 2014 3:30PM0 -

like other TES games, they will just rever our hero as the vestige or any other title can be used to identified him/her. Also our vestige, lore wise, will logically be one person...based on the main story logic. There could be another soul-shriven manage to escape coldharbour when it goes riot, but there's only one vestige...the one who dropped at the same faction as Varen the Prophet is (whichever faction vestige start in will be the canon? it doesn't matter).0 -

True on that, and they have the emps covered anyhow since the ruby throne was a bit of a complex thing. All records of the emps got burned or something would be an easy and very elder scrolls fix to cover that side.
