The MMO genre is one of the most successful and fastest growing ones in gaming at the moment, but at least one leading developer says that he has no plans to bring its own franchise online at the moment.
Speaking to Joystiq, Todd Howard, who is the leader of the development on
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, has said, “I like this kind of game better. You know, it’s what most of us are into. I’m not really an MMO guy. I respect them, I look at them, but I don’t play them. It feels more real to me when I’m the hero and it’s crafted for that. A community aspect to it, I recognize a lot of people would want that in a game like this, but it changes the flavor for me.”
He added, “The audience we have for our kind of thing is big enough that we don’t have to tone it down. We can just do our thing, and it’s kind of grown with each game. So there was no pressure from anybody above me to say ‘Hey, you need to change this.’”
The developer at Bethesda also talked about the bugs that can creep into the final version of
The Elder Scrolls V, saying that such a big experience can never be completely flawless, even if the developers are making sure that every game breaking problem is quickly fixed.
He believes that some bugs, those which happen to lead to humorous consequences, will actually be left on purpose, with the development team looking forward to seeing how players experience them.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be launched on the Xbox 360 from Microsoft, the PlayStation 3 from Sony and the PC and gamers worldwide will be able to get it on November 11 of this year.
