EA's E3 conference happens in a couple of hours so I wonder If they'll show anything interesting, Isn't the witcher 3 owned by them or something. I predict something about Mass Effect which i've always loved when it came to the world it was set in.
Nope, The Witcher is owned by Polish Developer CD Projekt and is published in the EU by Namco Bandai and in the US by Warner Bros. Entertainment.
I never cared for Mass Effect. :/ But tonight around 5am Bethesda has it's press conference and I hope for news about the PS4/Xbone Skyrim remaster and maybe a new Elder Scrolls title?
Skyrim maxed out on PC does still look really pretty. I also did never finish Skyrim, even though I played it for over 100 hours. So, depending on how pretty the remaster looks, I might double dip.

I love the Elder Scrolls and Skyrim was great so I'd get it again if it came out on ps4 with mod support even though I've completed it all before. I do think Oblivion and Morrowind are in more need of one though and Oblivion is my favorite. The lore is so much more interesting than fallouts that it isn't even comparable. If they announce a new one I'm praying its in Blackmarsh the Argonian province or if not with Elsweyr the Khajjit one.
Now that you mention it...Oblivion would be amazing in today's graphics. O: Loved the lush and green environments and the pretty towns... Though after The Witcher 3 with it's much more dynamic and detailed cities and inhabitants and the cities being actual cities in size and inhabitants, Oblivion or Skyrim would probably feel pretty underwhelming.

Yeah now that Witcher has set the bar for fantasy medieval type cities in video games with Novigrad Oxenfurt and Bleaclair, The next elder scrolls game really has to step up its world to be at the same level!
I thought Beauclair even topped Novigrad in terms of detail and urban life, which I had hoped but didn't actually expect to really happen. Also it is much larger than I suspected. (Remember when I advised you to lower your expectation of it's size? XD) It is actually nearly as big as Novigrad. I was positively surprised.
I just searched for a good exploration video of Beauclair on Youtube (for anyone in this thread who hasn't experienced it) but I didn't find a good one. :/ But here's a reminder of how dull and lifeless Oblivion's cities actually were:
Crazy how dated it now looks...

Yreah the Elder Scrolls back then used to be amazing looking at feeling but I have much higher expectations now for the sixth game than I did for skyrim now that we have games like FFXV and witcher 3.
I didn't stumble over any really bad glitches/bugs on the 360 version. Lots of smaller bugs though. Oh and how much I hated dragons appearing whenever I fast travelled. D:
Now that I think about it...I don't know if I would buy it again. Maybe if it looks really pretty. But they probably just update it running in 1080p in 60fps.
@Jadeinchains was the actual story any good?

EA's conference is happening soon by the way just in case anyone is interested!
It's their E3 press conference:
Edit: Lol, I don't tink I have ever bought/played an EA game. Their stuff isn't really my thing.

Is anyone else watching? Mass Effect Andromeda looks so good!
How so? XD I've never felt the slightest urge to play any of the Sims games.
@Jadeinchains, Mass Effect looks good and it runs on Frostbite engine which is a great graphic engine that made also Battefront and the latest Doom look awesome. Even on consoles in solid 60fps.

I'm playing the Sims 4 right now.
Especially the way the characters looked they are incredible looking, The football stuff though I'm not really interested in.
Edit: I could imagine @Chapstick being interested in this Fe game!

What's really putting me off with EA is that for them it is all about making tons of cash and how to get even more cash from their customers. Not that other developers are much different, lol...but it's not as obviously orchestrated. For example with CD Project Red, The Witcher developers. Yes, they want to make money too but they also pour their heart blood into everything they create and you really get a lot for little money. With EA it is the other way around, you get little for a lot of your money. :/ Sorry, I'm really not interested in their overpriced assembly belt stuff.

I can agree with that, At times EA has been very money hunger. They "seem" to be getting better recently. Also I'm probably not going to watch that 1 hour livestream and instead now wait until Bethesda's at 5am.
