I wouldn't be surprised.Given the very limited amount of intelligence and dubious lineage hygiene at work at Bethesda, I would not be surprised at all.
Generally I'd agree, but 2030 is "only" 13 years away. Being conceptually 10 years into the future isn't necessarily that weird for big studios of any kind, game developers or otherwise. This is all still horseshit, though, because if we're talking 2030, we're talking a potential "spitballing"-stage, not anything resembling anything firm enough to make judgements on or anything remotely resembling pre-production.These guys didn't even know what they wanted to do after Fallout 4 was released. Talk about plans for 2030 = fake fake fake. No game developer works with those kinds of time horizons.
But Bethesda might actually announce Starfield at E3, and the guy who wrote this is smart enough to realize that. Watch people go "omg the leaker was right" if that happens.

Upcoming VR Fallout 4 is real.12 years between Skyrim and TES6? Even Bethesda isn't that lazy.
VR Skyrim and VR Fallout 4 is so shitty as to be wholly plausible.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. This is not some small game developer, but a big one. A company as big as this must always look into the future, keep their jobs save, maintain their market position. And yes... this means planning ahead for years, i.e. Apple also planned more than 10 years ahead in what they plan to do for their next iPhone iterations (I read that in an article a while ago). It's no different with Bethesda. Of course not everything for the next Elder Scrolls is fleshed out in detail at this point in time, but certainly a rough idea. And they actually can work with such an horizon, because it has been one of their most successful IPs for years now, and most likely will be in the future.
That said, the mentioned leak can still be fake, but it's not unrealistic.
I'm gonna be fucking OLD in 2030 though wtf man.
Updated my .txtFor a developer of entertainment software it's unrealistic. How can you even know that people will want to play Elder Scrolls games in 2030?
Disclosure: I worked at Intel, a hardware manufacturer in a much more predictable market that requires long-term logistical planning, in the late 2000s. Even there, there weren't concrete release schedules for CPUs going beyond 2014 or so. That's why this sounds absurd to to me.
Let's be realistic here, though. I'm not disagreeing with you here in general, but the idea that people won't want to play Elder Scrolls games in 2030 is a bit absurd. Popularity may wax and wane, and sure, the franchise might get canned - although I find that hard to believe - but if an Elder Scrolls game was made 2030, we know full well that bar massive social upheaval or economic collapse, things that most long-term project projections don't really ever account for, people would still play it.[...] How can you even know that people will want to play Elder Scrolls games in 2030?

Well, he had some rather retarded SF-ish ideas of his own.Dwemer in a pocket dimension and Elder scrolls lore combined with fallout? If true Kirkbride is gonna be pissed as fuck. He might burn down bethesda softworks studio in the end after all.
Also combining Elder Scrolls and Fallout lore is retarded as fuck.
The Digitals say we come from another star, but so many have forgotten. I have not, for my lineage granted me audience with Memory, and I have spoken with the Wheels of Lull. I have seen proof, as any who come Up during Landfall Season, when the winds die down enough Above that all may make pilgrimage under the banner of Vehk and Vehk. Though many Above have renounced Memory, they too remember.
Also combining Elder Scrolls and Fallout lore is retarded as fuck.
Talk about games planned for 2030 trips my bullshit detector
Except that mythology in TES is not just old fables like in real life, aedra and daedra are patently real, the cycles are obvious, etc...Also combining Elder Scrolls and Fallout lore is retarded as fuck.
Not necessarily. It's like ancient lore about our earth: everything what we experience has already happened in one way or the other. Civilizations advanced, developed technology, destroyed each other. Additionally there are myths claiming that earth has been "destructed" 4-5 times by some "godly" entity, because the people have gone the "wrong way". The remaining people had to start civilisation from scratch again. The cycle repeats. So even in regards to our own lore about earth, there are plenty of choices to connect SciFi with medieval times. Or a Fallout lore with a Starfield and an Elder Scrolls lore. Wasn't there a guy some years ago who claimed that the Elder Scrolls lore was nothing else than the events decribed in the Bible?
Talk about games planned for 2030 trips my bullshit detector
It's not uncommon for studios to plan ahead.. but the fact that a game coming out in 2030 is fully written / designed with companions locked in ect?
2030? 13 years from now.. and they already have the game fully designed and written - fuck off 4chan.
Could explain why their games are shit, though... they are so planned ahead they don't bother listening to criticism and make the adequate changes.
Easy :How can you even know that people will want to play Elder Scrolls games in 2030?
