2005 – A Look Ahead

IGN PC is offering a four-page article entitled “2005 – A Look Ahead” that details many of the games we can expect later this year. The list includes several role-playing games, including Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich, Guild Wars, Flagship Studios’ unannounced title, Fallout 3, and more. Since we haven’t heard much about Bethesda’s titles lately, here’s a snip about them:

The newest Elder Scrolls game, though it has been in development for quite some time, begs us to hope for a timely release along with Fallout 3. It’s hard to imagine that either of these will actually make it out anytime soon. The problem is their scope. These are gigantic games that will take an exceptionally long time to troubleshoot. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind certainly took a long time to release after it was announced. While we certainly harbor some bit of anticipation of a 2005 release, it seems pretty unlikely. If nothing else, we can hope for more information on both Oblivion and Fallout 3.
