Glorious, I can't wait to watch and see how Bethesda crashes and burns with this set of shits crapped into the mouths of willing consumers, morons, but I repeat myself.

I haven't been paying attention. Wasn't this Xbox big tent pole for the Holidays?

Oh wait, so was Halo: Infinite for like two years straight...

Something must be seriously borked, or Todd Howard is taking this more seriously because it's *his* baby.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

I'd wager this has just as much if not more to do with Xbox Series X supply than bugs.

Isn't this supposed to be the first *true* exclusive for Xbox Series systems?

I knew it. They can't do shit only besides horses.

Guess that confirms that it's another Gamebryo upgrade. The reason horses were so slow in Skyrim because otherwise it couldn't load assets fast enough.

I can't help but wonder if Microsoft told them heads will roll if they have another fallout 76 type debacle. They spent a shitload on buying up Bethesda, they're not gonna want more half assed janky shit to show for it.

Great, TESVI is truly never releasing.

man, 2022 is looking pretty dead now as far as games go.

And yet people will still be clamoring for all these systems due to the shortages.

It's Skillup so grain of salt but supposedly his source told him the real time spaceship flying that was advertised is totally broken and CTDS on even the most powerful systems. That's the apparent reason for the delay.

I remember reading the hilarious story from one of their devs about how Bethesda does moving objects like cars and ships. Apparently they make an invisible npc and then give it a hat that is the ship/car and make it walk. That engine will be the death of Bethesda especially since they no longer have an RPG element to prop up the rest of the game. I'm really hoping they knock it out of the park though, but I have my doubts if they're even capable of making decent games anymore.

edit: found a reddit post about it

It's one of the reason I haven't bothered to get a new system, there's no games out for them that really catch my eye. Plus I'm generally a "wait for the price drop/2nd gen" types. If Starfield is any good that might be the push for me to bother, but that's just because there's not all that many good space games out there.

Going to guess that daddy Microsoft looked at the spaghetti code that is Starfield and told Todd to fix that shit. MS did not dump money to have a shit show disaster like Fallout 76.

So what the fuck is Starfield?

We won't know until June 12, but apparently they want to make a more hardcore RPG with traits & backgrounds. Whether or not such things will have much depth remains to be seen, but I doubt Bethesda wants to intentionally piss fans off like Rian Johnson did after the backlash to Fallout 76.

If nothing else, I sort of get the feeling that this is a something of a passion project since it took priority over The Elder Scrolls VI.

Actually it's "Seinfeld" but they fucked up the spelling when they registered the IP.

You have ESO to thank for that.

Note the dates.

I'm terrified that Fallout '76 was just a throwaway experiment to test how to make the next microtransaction heavy Elder Scrolls game.

So what the fuck is Starfield?

Instead of bland, buggy fantasy simulator on a dying engine, it's bland buggy space simulator on a dying engine. Are you prepared to save the galaxy star fighter?

I think Todd decided to do it after FO4 got annihilated by The Witcher 3 when it came to RPG of the Year awards since Todds games had pretty much won every year they were released. You can watch the awards ceremonies and Todd looks PISSED when Witcher won over Fallout 4. I think that's when he decided to make Starfield.

To be fair, he's right to be pissed. Witcher is hot garbage. As shitty as the RPG mechanics of FO4 are, at least it's actually fun to play, and isn't entirely propped up by horny manchildren.
