First Post of 2010, Bethesda Working on “World of Warcraft type MMO”

So, I know it’s been almost 3 weeks with no word from me but trust me, there’s not a whole lot you missed. Yes, it’s 2010, and we have a little less than 2 years until our absolute destruction but in the meantime, did you know Bethesda missed it’s big reveal of the Elder Scrolls MMO in 2009? I know, I didn’t know either! According to VG247, “Development on the game has apparently been ongoing since late 2006, said the documents, with “tens of millions of dollars” invested and “close to a hundred people” working on it.” To add to that, there was another slip up from book publisher Waterstones saying the next Elder Scrolls game would take place 200 years after Oblivion.

Whoops.

But we already know of Zenimax, Bethesda’s parent company, opening a MMO division headed by DAoC’s own Mike Firor who have been working an an unannounced title. Well this is it. Maybe.

New Fallout Announced, We Don’t Go To New Vegas

“Fallout New Vegas was announced moments ago during a Bethesda press conference in London,” according to Kotaku. Good ol’ Pete Hines announced it and also said that Bethesda was working with Obsidian Entertainment on the title.

The game is set to come out next year on the PC, XBox 360, and Playstation 3.

“It is not a sequel to Fallout 3,” Hines said. “It’s simply another Fallout game in that universe.”

F*** yes! We’re heading back out west, which I’m hoping means some bigger BoS quest lines and involvement unlike the pricks hanging out in the east. I hate those guys.

Also, ‘Obby’ Entertainment is what’s left of Black Isle Studios, you know, the original Fallout developers, amongst other things, so I actually have faith in them in creating a great and epic, story-driven RPG experience that will tie FO 1, 2, and 3 together like one big happy family. Of Awesome.
