>Former Bethesda lead artist Nate Purkeypile says Bethesda isn't likely to rush The Elder Scrolls 6 out the door due to the high expectations behind it.>He explains, "My assumption was always that we were announcing Starfield, and it had been so long already since Skyrim that we needed to make sure people were not just pissed at us.">"I would imagine that they will take a while to deliver it because there’s so much pressure behind that title," he explains. >Purkeypile adds that Starfield proved that Bethesda is okay with delaying a game, something he explains was "not really the case early on": "On Skyrim, it was like, 'It's coming out on 11/11/11' and we were like, what?! Oh boy, no pressure.">Purkeypile adds that he thinks "there is less economic pressure to just get Elder Scrolls 6 out on a date, but there is more economic pressure to actually make sure it’s good." He adds, "That's a good thing," as "that’s healthy so long as they’re also honest with the team about that." He elaborates, "That’s something that can happen where the team get [sic] told here’s the date, we got to the date and psych! It’s later. And everybody knows that’s coming sometimes."https://www.gamesradar.com/games/the-elder-scrolls/former-fallout-artist-says-the-elder-scrolls-6-was-announced-so-early-because-it-had-been-so-long-already-since-skyrim-that-we-needed-to-make-sure-people-were-not-just-pissed-at-us/
I cannot fathom having optimism for a Bethesda game after Fallout 4 proved they're a completely different company, and every subsequent release was even worse.
>it had been so long since skyrim>but announced earlylate, he means. should've been announced 2014 and released 2016.ĺ
We've known they were forced to announce it way early despite not wanting to for fucking ages.
I cannot fathom having optimism for a Bethesda game after Oblivion proved they're a completely different company, and every subsequent release was even worse.
It takes a handful of years to make a skyscraper on taxpayers money with blue collar workers, but over 500+ dudes sitting in office chairs, in air-conditioned, coffee supplied rooms cant make a simple fantasy game in 10 years.
>>731058474You and me are of like mind, even if so many plug their ears to it; either denying they were ever good or that anything changed. I just wanted you to know that.
Microsoft should have split Bethesda in two with a fallout and TES teams
>>731058872If its so simple why are there no other competitors that can match up to their games?
>>731058474To be fair, it's been significantly longer since FO4 than between FO4 and Skyrim. They could have changed for the better in that time. They haven't as Starfield showed, but they could have.
>>731059049Has anyone even _really_ tried? There have been things that become vaguely similar but still not quite what Bethesda does.
>>731058358It will probably be a cloud computer only release to lure people into their monitored and censored digital dystopia.
>>731058872I’ve been thinking, what if they never actually began working on the next TES until after Starfield was done? If that’s the case it could legitimately be another 4-5 years. I definitely have the impression that they expected Starfield to be next big franchise on par with TES. Weird fucking company, they have an insanely profitable IP but insist on avoiding it for nearly 20 years
The only way for TES6 to be succesful is to have 3-4 independent teams competing to make the most engaging and soulful game possible. With the winners getting million dollar rewards.At this point I imagine Todd shitting himself in his office asking himself why everyone(with talent) left him.
>>731058358>Purkeypile adds that he thinks "there is less economic pressure to just get Elder Scrolls 6 out on a date, but there is more economic pressure to actually make sure it’s good." He adds, "That's a good thing,"Being owned by Mircosoft proves this to be literally untrue.
microsoft effect, bethesda got bought out its not worried about releasing anything. if anything even developing the next TES game was a non starter during talks since they could leverage their two series
>>731058474I don't understand how can you faggots seethe at FO4 when FO3 and Oblivion exist? Seething at FO76 and Shartfield would be much more justified.
>>731058358Why did they hold off for so long? Skyrim sold gangbusters. Why wouldn't they make a sequel right away?
>>731059649Fallout 4 is the clear point where they gave up.
>>731059724why make a sequel when you can just re-launch the same game 5 times?t. CHADODD HOWARD
>>731060015That would imply FO3 was a better game, which is not. It sucks at everything except for design maybe, but it's not FO4 fault that FO3 art designer kicked the bucket after Skyrim.
>>731059517lol what this bean counting purkeypile fucker doesn’t understand is that the bar for what makes the game “good” raises exponentially the longer you make people wait. I think Bethesda is literally incapable of meeting expectations at this point, their engine is well beyond its limits (as Starfield demonstrated) and their talent is leaving.
>>731060125Why not both?
>>731059724>Skyrim sold gangbusters. Why wouldn't they make a sequel right away?because todd isn't a sellout and bethesda doesn't make sequelslop
>>731058358>Skyrim came out 14 years agoWe've entered Duke Nukem Forever territory.
>>731059649Fallout 4 is worse than Fallout 3.
>>731060274How does making sequels make one a sellout?
>>731060483They're up to Call of duty Black Ops 7. 7 nigga, Its not even in the mainline series and 7 is absolute literal slop.
>>731060401>Fallout 4 is worse than Fallout 3.Only in art designed, again because Bethesda's art designer kicked the bucket right after Skyrim. Gameplay and story-wise FO3 is an absolutely fucking trash, FO4 is a huge improvement over it (mostly because they just stole FNV and its mod ideas).
>>731060661The writing, music, textures, gunplay, and every other way too. The visuals being worse in a visual medium is no small issue.3 is a decent enough game with bad writing4 is a bad game with worse writing
>>731060661FO4 is genuinely more poorly written than 3. Dimwitted water plot be damned, at least the capital wasteland was fighting over something more than "duh institue is replacing people with robots cause... uhhhhhhhhh"Yeah, sure, the shooting is better. It's the only thing.
What a retarded thing to say, they could take forever, not say anything, re re re re release Skyrim every year with small tweaks and people would beg for a drop of Todds cum if he simply said Elder Scrolls 6 out loud. People will not be pissed because their perfectly content with Skyrim and the only reason they want ES6 is because they want more Skyrim.
>>731060738>>731060738>FO3 has better writingLmaoCompletely ruined BOS, Fawkes aka "Sorry we all have our destinies", children town, nuka-cola lunatics, nigger complaining about ghoul racism on the radio. At least FO4 made some work on mistakes.Fucking zoomers I swear...
>>731060926You hallucinated anyone saying 3's writing was good in this thread. 4's is still worse. Cope with your little zoomer strawman though fag.
>>731060926I only read the greentext of your last post and I didn't read a word of this one.
>>731058358So they lied to us Thank you Todd, very cool
>>731060738>gunplayActually neck yourself. They had ID tech's designers working on the gunplay for 4, and it was remotely decent, as opposed to 3's "RPG but with guns" horseshit gunplay.
>>731058358More like they needed to scam shareholders and the like
>>731059724Around 2011~2014 they got a lot of results back that shows that doesn't always work.
>>731060661>Removes skills>Removes skill checks (aside from persuasion)>Removes SPECIAL checks>Perks are completely watered down and handed out every level>Utter dogshit story>Very few ACTUAL roleplaying choices to be madeThey gutted nearly every game mechanic that made Fallout what it was, and you're saying it was a huge improvement? Glad you can enjoy FO4's new direction as an action game with RPG elements sprinkled in, just know that you never actually liked Fallout.
Hopefully Fallout 3 Remastered and Fallout New Vegas Remastered get done soon enough.Then finally we can get Todd's new Elder Scrolls. Skyrim Remastered of course.
>>731061076Strictly mechanically I agree but boy... they sure fucking sucked to look at and listen to and watch.
>>731058474Fallout 4 was so awful and still haven't beaten it after buying it day one because its boring asf. If Fallout 4 wasn't a wake up call then Starfield should've shown they're complete hacks.
>>731061225>modded FO4: aren't even any changes from vanilla>modded FNV: modders actually ported the entire Capital WastelandWhat was your point exactly?
>>731061225Yes, the first image looks much better.But really, the best part of Fallout 4 I'll never forget was the iconic menu theme. Everything after that was shit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YmUufemZSM
>>731058872Yes, because it's exponentially more complicatedAn architect tells a bunch of dudes what to do and where to put things, bam a building is completeDevs spend man-years of time making a game by first inventing code that describes the universe containing the game
>>731061225that's fallout 3 not Nv
>>731061197Makes you wonder the point of making any new games at all when you can resell the same crap endlessely to normies. I mean when you're creatively bankrupt why even Bother?
>>731061363>that's fallout 3 not NvThen why is my hud orange? Checkmate, republitards.
>>731061076>They had ID tech's designers working on the gunplay for 4And what did that get us, a dedicated grenade button.
>>731061565Tale of two wastelands I'd assume.
Bethesda just missed a huge opportunity by not doing TES 6 just after FO4, not an overambitious game but just a Skyrim/FO4 size game made with same teams and Creation engine 1, this could have been released in 2020 and made bank during COVID, probably selling as much as Skyrim
>>731061604>clicking to it/scrolling to it then hitting a 2nd button to actually throw it is much better than just tapping 1 keydedicated 'nade buttons are objectively superior and of the only real improvements on old games
>>731058474I don't think Fallout 4 was that bad.The engine was showing it's age, the dialogue/RPG mechanics were a downgrade, and the story was not very good, but it still had a lot of memorable characters and sidequests, and the gunplay and power armor was a significant improvement over past titles.Starfield, however, was just a complete disaster. I genuinely don't understand how they made it so bad in almost every way when they clearly were not trying to depart from the classic TES/FO formula.
>>731061604Hey, it also made the guns almost feel like guns. Sure the gunplay barely competes against random shit from the 90s, but it's... better?And sure, 8 years later they had improved nothing at all and are still barely competing with games released 25 years earlier. But they are working really hard on it okay? Give them just a few more decades and they might even reach Half life 1 levels of gunplay.
Anyone defending any aspect of 4 is a public schooled drooling retard and probably brown.
