Summers Game Fest 2023

The normally Epic Games funded PC games show is starting in ~8 minutes. If you still have any bit of optimism left you want to erase.
OMG! How many women of color will grace the screen this time?!

I can't wait for the truly HILARIOUS AI jokes they are going to make.
 
my thoughts on the show? 4/10. we atleast got to see what kind of game what starfield will be. fallout 4 in space.
Wasn't it obvious from the gameplay reveal of it like a year ago? Even before that, did anyone have any doubt it was just gonna be Elder Scrolls / Fallout in a new setting? Bethesda makes one game.

Even if they don't, that just means whites and men are Epic Game Store exclusives.
 
Oh goodie.. We get to deal with pre-show cringe. Nope just another counter...

>30 minute countdown starts after the 30 minute countdown
thanks PCGamer

Todd is too much of a petty bitch to hire them. I seem to recall hearing that Todd was going to retire after Starfield, so maybe smarter people will take charge of Bethesda and start hiring actual writers with talent.
Michael Kirkbride left after Morrowind because he cited Todd Howard as being an awful boss. Then he wrote the Song of Pelinal for Oblivion on contract, and was supposedly hired to write lore for Skyrim but it all got thrown out and ignored. Imagine a world with Elder Scrolls still written by Kirkbride...

He also wrote Sermon 37 for Elder Scrolls Online and used it to plug his based 'fanfiction' C0DA, which I consider more canon than what Bethesda did after Morrowind.

Isn't Avellone blacklisted?
I think his #metoo thing got thrown out after the women admitted to lying and making it up, but he's still blacklisted by everyone. He sued the two bitches for seven figures and won lol. He's credited for the System Shock remake as a writer, and also apparently writing on Jedi: Fallen Order.

Speaking of #metoo, I really hope Jeremy Soule comes back for Elder Scrolls 6. He erased himself from everything after the accusation by a danger hair. The Inon Zur uber jew guy Bethesda hired for Fallout and now Starfield just makes loud brassy stuff that sounds forgettable, Soule's Elder Scrolls stuff is actually magical, and hasn't been replicated by anyone. ESO just uses his themes for most things, when it doesn't its forgettable. The ES6 teaser was done by Inon Zur in an afternoon or something, Soule says Bethesda hasn't even contacted him for anything. I'm hoping this is because ES6 hasn't started development and not because he's blacklisted or something.
 
Is the voice-over AI?

EDIT: Oh god, it is. This is going to suck.

I agree. Inon Zur is fine but even the Starfield theme sounds like something from Fallout 4.

Time to suffer. At least we got Frostpunk 2.
