If you played starfield you would not be excited for this. They dont even trust themselves enough to remake their own game.

Duke Nukem Forever for the new generation
Skyrim gameplay is seriously outdated nowadays. If Starfield is a sign of the direction of the next game it is not looking good...
I really hope that after all the tech issues with Starfield, and the experience gained with porting Oblivion to UE5, that they finally ditch Creation Engine for ES6 and just go with UE5
Afaik UE5 is just used for graphics while creation engine is still the base for oblivion
Call me cynical, but I firmly believe that ES6 is more useful to Bethesda as a perpetual 'carrot on a stick' than anything they would get from actually releasing it. The people that made Morrowind, Oblivion, and even Skyrim what they are no longer work at Bethesda, but the goodwill of the series remains in people's minds, and they associate that with Bethesda, even if a majority of their modern releases have been dumpster fires for one reason or another.
There's a reason we've gone almost 15 years without a mainline elder scrolls game, and I'm pretty sure it's because even Bethesda knows that they likely can't capture that magic again.
Can't wait for it to launch.
The opening scene is a beautiful flyover of the gameworld, and then the camera just keeps going alllll the way to the back of a wagon in Skyrim where your character has just awakened, having been captured by an ambush while trying to cross the border.
On the back of a wagon? More like back of a 🐉 we are dragonborn not some Falkreath yokel. Into 6 we go riding in style!
Ok mr Todd, show us some actual gameplay that isn't a prerended video.
I'd rather have them talk a bit about what direction they are going with it.
Because between Fallout 76 and Starfield there's definitely room for some alternative thinking.
I don't plan on buying it at launch as bethesda has abused my trust too much already. However, if it is not fully single-player-capable (I'm fine with optional multiplayer so long as nothing's locked behind it) and/or requires a constant internet connection, they don't get my money at all.
Isn't that them doing alternate thinking already?
It's seems more like them doing no thinking.
At least with all this trash hl3 is finally coming next year.
