Can they make a comeback with TES6?
No
Not with that deleted tweet…
>>720779316No.
>>720779316Sadly no. They want their customers dead like all wokeshits.
>>720779316I cant wait for TES6 to kill this dogshit company.
>>720780471It might pull this off without ever coming out, like Wonder Woman did to Monolith and Joanna's Manjaw did to the Initiative.
Emil still works there. They haven't learned a goddamn thing and they never will.
I'm waiting for the inevitable delay announce and swap to UE5
>>720779316tes6 will probably make billions then Todd and his friends will run off into retirement with all the money and leave the company to slowly die
>>720779316Microsoft ruined them, like they did with all studios they bought
>>720780889The ruining started before they even bought them. Paying Beth to make Oblivion a 360 game from the ground up murdered their ability to make a competent RPG.
>>720779316They easily can. Its comical how skyrim fanboys think that bethesda has fallen from grace since skyrim, it really hasnt. Their games after skyrim have been improvements over skyrim as far as game mechanics go, its the atmosphere which has been a little lackluster due to the games being focused on wastelands or hard scifi space. Once they go back to classical fantasy and put some catchy atmospheric music in the background skyrim fanboys will basedface again and praise bethesda for Being "so back" or whatever.
>>720781048Thanks for your input Todd
>>720781048This is a "psyop" you're doing. It's called "influencing" and you are advertising for Bethesda. Eat shit retard. Nobody gives a fuck about Bethesda after 76 and ESO.
>>720781048Starfield showed they fundamentally don't understand why people enjoyed their games and instead of taking the feedback they consistently double downed on nothing being wrong.
Todd will cook one last time
>>720781048Look. NOBODY cares about Bethesda except for Elder Scrolls. NOBODY.
>>720781042I saw it goes all the way back to Morrowind. The second Bethesda started building their RPGs with the console in mind at base, that's when they started losing it.
>>720779316They have to, TES is their flagship title, everything else they make is just a way to make a cheap buck. If they can't produce kino with 6 then it's over, a total slop studio like ubisoft. Honestly I think they fell off with Skyrim but at least that still felt somewhat sovlful.
>>720781048>Their games after skyrim have been improvements over skyrim as far as game mechanics goshartfield doesn't do a single thing better than skyrim
>>720779316They already made a comeback. Oblivion remaster was one of the best games of the year (despite being 20 years old), and the Fallout TV show was a huge success.
>>720781421two games they didn't make kek
>>720781640The combat is still better than Skyrim but that's only because it has guns. It's amazing they still haven't improved melee.
>>720781654remaster isnt a new gametv show isnt a gameTodd will need to bring his A game or he will be a disgrace.
>>720781790>The combat is still better than Skyrim but that's only because it has guns.that's just your personal preference creeping in, it isn't factuali find morrowind's combat more fun than oblivion's but i'm not going to pretend that's some objective fact
>>720779316Can they? Sure.Will they? Rofl no.
>>720780653I think the Oblivion remake gave them enough time to shit out another starfield tier "game"
>>720781790Starfield's combat is worse than Fallout 4's
>>720781889If you want to play the personal preference game then even hardcore Skyrim fans still mod in combat mods for a reason. You're the outlier and don't pretend otherwise.
>>720781976They should've kept the gore. Why the fuck didn't they do it? At least it would've sated me to shed some blood.
>>720779316They put Body Type 1 and 2 into the Oblivion remaster. Bastards are dead to me
>>720782283not bethesda genius
>>720779316no
>>720782329Starfield's also body type 1 and 2 dumbass
>>720782481Well done, you mentioned an actual bethesda game in a thread about bethesda.
>>720782481Im amazed they haven't done another Skyrim "update" where they add that into the game.
>>720782660UE5 Skyrim is obviously in the works
>>720782764Yep, here's some early Redguard character designs.
>>720782764Cant wait for Skyrim Dreamworks Edition.
>>720779316Its over
>>720782764obviously not, they're doing fallout 3 next. Leak confirmed it. This thread is full of drooling retards.
>>720782869You being a prime example.
>>720782869And what do you think comes after that? It ain't gonna be New Vegas.
>>720782010>even hardcore Skyrim fans still mod in combat mods for a reason. You're the outlier and don't pretend otherwise.these statements are contradictoryhardcore skyrim fans are the outliers, the majority of people who have played skyrim did so vanilla, with a smaller percentage doing basic modding like bugfixing mods, adding in new weapons, spells, armor, etc.; the amount of people downloading serious combat overhauls that turn the game into souls is miniscule by comparison to the total amount of people who have played skyrimthe original statement "Their games after skyrim have been improvements over skyrim as far as game mechanics go" is objectively just a preference and one i don't sharewe can just agree to disagree but i'll give you my preference for combat up front: morrowind > skyrim > daggerfall > oblivion
>>720779316no.
>>720783159No one is playing Skyrim for the combat bro give it up
>>720783236i never said they were, i said it is better than starfield's
>>720779316People gave up on Bethesda after they released Redguard and Battlespire and they released Morrowind right afterwards. They're at their best when they're cornered.
>>720783343Maybe if you hate shooters for some reason. Starfield at least had some people from Id help them out.
>>720781640the skill and perk system is better in starfield than skyrim.Skyrim fanboys really dont understand how mid skyrims game mechanics actually are, that game was carried by the art and music, its like a 10/10 atmosphere game and 3/10 game mechanics. Almost nothing in skyrim was designed well from a game mechanics stand point.
>>720779316https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1LkK118spcOne last ride todd, then evermore.
>>720779316Only if they use the Chinese outsourced devs (Oblivion Remastered) and not the Indian outsourced devs (Starfield).
>>720779316Why would anyone want a comback from the studio that made the dullest RPG in history? Each attempt Bethesda makes to craft a living world rather than a giant collection of slightly slanted taverns and recycled dungeons has been more disastrous than the last. Aside from the endless bugs and lifeless NPCs, Skyrim’s only consistency has been its lack of creativity and ineffective use of its own systems, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.Perhaps the die was cast when Todd Howard vetoed the idea of ever innovating past Morrowind; he made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody just a ridiculously profitable platform for DLC and endless re-releases. Skyrim might be anti-hardcore (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Dark Souls in its refusal of depth, challenge, and excitement.>a-at least the writing was good though“No!”The writing is dreadful; the narrative was terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time a character tried to deliver dialogue , Bethesda wrote instead some wooden, stilted line voiced by a voice actor who clearly had ten other roles in the same game.I began marking on the back of an envelope every time I entered an identical dungeon. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Howard’s mind is so governed by procedurally generated filler that there is no other style of design.Later I read a lavish, loving review of Skyrim by the same Geoff Keighley. He wrote something to the effect of, “If these kids are playing Skyrim at 13 or 14, then when they get older they will go on to pre-order Fallout 76.” And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play Skyrim you are, in fact, trained to become an unpaid bug tester for Bethesda.
>>720779316Yes, but they won't.
>>720783531>Starfield at least had some people from Id help them out.yeah, they did so good on the dark ages lol
>>720779316Bethesda is a company in a downward spiral, every release is shitier than the previous one.So the new elder scrolls will suck worse than Starfield.It will probably sell millions upon release because it's the sequel to Skyrim, and then people will stop playing reviews will become negative and the DLCs will flop.
>>720784067Dark Ages fell into the same trap of dumbing down for consoles
>>720779547qrd?
>>720781640Starfield removed save bloat death
>>720779316No. Starfield was the end of it for me, I'm convinced they're not capable of making fun games anymore.>maybe we should have waited to put buggies outNo Todd, you greedy little shit, your game's fundamentally fucked. A dinky little car doesn't fix the LOADING SCREENS and everything else wrong with the game.
>>720779316Watch them set it in Niggerfell when everyone is at peak fatigue and they pikachu face about "unexpectedly poor performance".
>>720788510black people will play it
>>720788624It will be a mega hit in the lucrative African market.
>>720788783
>>720788943It was mostlywhite liberal retards that paid to watch that, and that's an increasingly shrinking demo.
>>720786393Tranny dev celebrated charlie kirks death, got a lot of shit for it, put out a tweet with an clip of Indiana Jones ,saying "I don't like fascist either" to a catThen he deleted it because he's a gay coward fag
>>720788943Why didn't they all buy picrel? It won a BAFTA.
>>720789245wiggers be like "punch a fascist!" when they can't even stand by a tweet they posted online
Boomers devsBoomer engineBoomer designIt aint bussin
>>720789434>Boomers devs>Boomer engine>Boomer designall of these are unironically positivesthe main issue is that the boomer devs retire and they get replaces by incompetent zoomer DEI hires
You know, Hello Games is updating No Man's Sky with features they'll be using in Light No Fire. Why can't Bethesda do that with Starfield?
I'm starting to think maybe Bethesda games were never good and it was my low standards as a youth that propped them far higher than they deserved. Unless I'm going for 200+ mod overhauls, those same games that would fill me with glee as a child are now barren husks barely stapled together shambling in a vain attempt to appear functional. I'm sorry, Todd, but after 76 and Starfield, I have to let you go. We've already started to drift apart during Fallout 4. Not even that one night stand when we both were adamant that we'd keep it strictly professional moving forward out back of your 2013 honda civic could convince me to come back to your games. It's for the best, for both of us. Please, be better not for me, but for the others that still aren't ready to let go
>>720779316like with literally every retarded shit AAA game these days - they will just pay people to say its great, and thats all it takes for you fucking retards to gobble it up.you guys are just too fucking retarded and so this will go on forever.
>>720779316Todd and all the higher ups were creatively lame decades ago and they're getting even worse as they age. Couple that with a gay and sterile studio environment in this day and age and I can't imagine they release anything interesting>>720788510I've been wanting a game set in Hammerfell for decades now so it's a shame we'll get fits like this over something that's been a part of the series since the beginning. They'll also worry about faggots complaining about muh orientalism so it's going to be very creatively inert
>>720789686Maybe they are? I am 100% certain there are some shitty parts of starfield that will make it into ES6. Mainly because it seems that Bethesda are incapable of taking in feedback for their games to make any fucking improvements
>>720779316>TES6Guaranteed to be at least 95% AI shit and of course none of that will be voices, and they'll still have 4 people voicing 200 characters.
>>720779316Only if they rehire Kirkbride.Even if it's just contract for TES.No Kirkbride, no Soul. (probably no Soule either, totally Soulless)
>>720789859The only salvageable thing is the gravity manipulation.
>>720781640The dungeon designs are much better and have much more variety. Skyrim's are all the same one way loop through copypasted bits.Of course this comes at a cost of the shitty POI system, but the dungeons themselves are great.
>>720789859There are good parts to Starfield (not game related)- Water tables can now end, so you can have lakes with rooms underneath them. This hasn't been possible before Starfield (maybe in 76)- The game now allows moveable meshes that aren't actors or animations, no more Train Hat required.- Real tonemapping in the renderer, not just blunt force shaders for colored lighting in a cave, etc- Massive changes to clothing system that made it hard to get started with modding but bodyslide is almost done and once everything is up, it's going to be the most expressive system of all the bethesda games.The game itself sucks, but it brought a bunch of good changes to the engine.
How many more games does John Howard have in him anyways? Bethesda takes like 15 years between entries and they've been seriously hamstrung by awful creative decisions over the past decade
>>720790310>Howard devs like a mad cunt
>>720789885>probably no Soule eitherThat's a given, they couldn't fuck him like they did Mick Gordon so the moment they had the metoo excuse they cut ties.Inon Not-Zimmer is their composer for everything now. Get ready for generic ambient shit.
>>720779316Nope, Starfield proved that absolutely nothing was learned after Skyrim and Fallout 4. They will keep on making the same buggy games with the same buggy AI, but they will unfortunately still make millions off of them from braindead fans.
>>720789245>charley kirk was an avowed white supremacistthese people need lobotomies.
>>720790576>tfw not Avowed the game
>>720779316They all those years made the same game, on the same engine, it's you who stopped liking it
>>720791547I wish, the last two games weren't the normal formula.>always online MORPG in Fallout Universe>Procedural generated barren wastelands: the gameI hope we get back to tighter well built worlds with no online components soon.
It COULD save bethesda.Will it do? Nah they will fuck it up.Only plebbit retards have faith on that company anymore.
>>720788943>black stories>character created and written by two pale jews
>>720779316On one hand, people are wising up to Bethesda. On other other hand, people have supernaturally shittaste.
>>720793939"People" don't get to choose Emmy nominees.
>>720790576>these people need lobotomies.they already have them. that's what 20 years of public school and discord grooming has done
