Sadly it seems Lucasarts is only willing to make mediocre games now-a-days, gone are the time when they were industry innovators (or atleast excellent at cloning).
Its a pity this didn't get released, this is the sort of game that Lucasarts should have been proud to put their moniker in front of.
Beth has enough subsidiaries where they don't need to dedicate their main studio.
Which I doubt they will. Todd Howard and the crew seem pretty much in love with the single player "your world" format.
To those who say multiplayer isn't what TES is about, you're right. But we probably won't see the next TES game for 5 years anyway.
I have no problem with an MP game looking at the origins of the TES world, as this would seem to indicate. As the SP games continue to follow the elder scrolls and the future.
@GeraltRivia If Apple was interested in PC gaming could they do what they have done in other fields?
Yes.
Apple's strength isn't in innovation, it is in improving upon the work of others and supporting their product through carefully planned reiteration. The IPhone wasn't the first smartphone, but it has become the defining smartphone. There have been tablets, voice-to-text programs, and MP3 players before Apple got involved in those industries, but when Apple got involved they provided comparable or better quality products with a far stronger marketing presence.
I am not an Apple fan, I use Windows; but I gotta give props to their Design and Marketing elements, they know what they are doing.
@(Unverified) I imagine the "A year from now" estimate won't be too far off, to release a game like DUST exclusively to a console so late in its development cycle is sort of silly. With the new Wii already announced and a new MS console likely to be announced this year if not next, the PS4 can't be too far behind.
If they intend for Dust 514 to be a complimentary good to EVE then they will need to release it on another platform.
