>As Microsoft gets ready to overhaul its struggling Xbox gaming unit, it hasn't ruled out spinning out or restructuring the unit as a wholly-owned subsidiary, which could make it easier to sell, or creating a joint venture with other partners, according to three people with direct knowledge of the discussions.>Microsoft doesn't have any imminent restructuring plans, but those options are on the table, the people said.>In particular, Xbox will move faster on developing new games from beloved franchises it owns, including Halo, Fallout and Elder Scrolls, the people said. Fallout and Elder Scrolls are two particular areas of focus for Sharma.>Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood have approved of Sharma's plan to spend more on top-tier games in the coming fiscal year beginning in July, although the budget is not yet locked in and could change, the people said.>Nadella and Hood haven't ruled out restructuring Xbox's relationship to Microsoft at some point in the future if doing so would make Xbox a more successful business, the people said. Options on the table could include making Xbox a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft, a joint venture or spinning out Xbox entirely, the people said.>Microsoft operates LinkedIn and GitHub as wholly owned subsidiaries, which could serve as one potential blueprint for Xbox, one of the people said.
CLUADE: MAKE AN ENDLESS STREAM OF TURDS USING BELOVED IPS AND MAKE NO MISTAKES
>>740959371>In particular, Xbox will move faster on developing new games from beloved franchises it owns, including Halo, Fallout and Elder Scrolls, the people said. Fallout and Elder Scrolls are two particular areas of focus for Sharma.Okay, cool, but when? AAA games are on a 10 year dev schedule by now. Even if those hypothetical games were green lit RIGHT NOW going to into preproduction tomorrow we wouldn't be seeing them until 2035 at the earliest. By then we'll have had two new xbox heads, if the brand is still alive.
At worst, quality stays exactly the same and games come out faster. 343/Halo Studios already feels like a knockoff brand of Halo devs.
When is the next gen of consoles expected to be released?
xbox. order my pizza now.
>>740959781All speculation and rumours point to next year.
>>740959371Cool, more games and faster so let see.
>>740959371they could easily produce a good game with modern tools and skilled enough (no dei bullshit) team at least every 2 years
>>740959371>Elder ScrollsDead boomer series whose last game was 15 years ago. Frogger and Pitfall tier
>>740959371Bethesda needs minimum 10 years to develop a single game no way they're gonna get a new TES and Fallout without handing them to other studios.
>>740959880So I should just save my money and skip any current games and hardware?
>>740959987People are still playing and modding TES games, so you are wrong.
>>740959371JUST GIVE UP, XBOX IS DEAD
>>740959918>couldthe 7th gen completely destroyed the idea of an iterative sequel. that's why devs keep their games in preproduction for 5+ years where they throw 100 turds at the wall for every turd that sticks. taking a blueprint that works and just producing a bunch of new assets has become an inherently bad thing in the industry.
>>740959880Nobody I know admits to having a dev kit yet. Soonest realistic release is late 2027. Personally, I think they delay to 2028, but not enough to bet money on it.
>>740959371>Offload X-box>X-box still dies>But the Jeeta stink isn't on NutellaSasuga, Nutella-sama.
>>740959781It was supposed to be end of 2027 but considering how fucked hardware prices are who knows at this point.
>>740960115>still playing and modding>Y-Y-YOU'RE WRONG!!!!He isn't wrong. Skyrim came out 15 years ago. They announced 6 about 4 years ago. It still has no release date.At this point the I.P. is dead beyond ESO (which they featured in their direct). It doesn't matter if players are playing the older titles if NEW titles aren't coming out lickity split.
What even is Xbox without the endless deep pockets of Microsoft? The only reason anyone gives a fucking shit about them is because of money
>>740959371Sending Obsidian into the Fallout mines is the first thing I would have done when taking office. It is genuinely baffling how this hasn't happened yet.
TES6 is gonna be Starfield with the Creation Club from the start and people are gonna be BIG SAD when they find out no good mods get made, just cheap cashgrabby shit like "i went in and added new color patterns to these 5 outfit pieces $5 in Creation Club"
>>740959371>if we wish it hard enough we'll materialize good games and revert over a decade of bad decisions Unless Microsoft announced that they fired all jeets, niggers and women, all the DEI hires and saboteurs, starting with the Pajeeta in chief it's all just fluff. You can send as many internal emails as you want, you can make as many PR statements as you want, you can do all the rebranding in the world, at the end of the day for as long as the same incompetent and ideogolically driven people work there, they will produce the same results. Speedtracking development just means games will come out in an even more broken and unpolished state.
>>740960280Are these all third party people who mainly work with Xbox?
>>740959371>the year is 2032>mario racer 3st releases on the Nintendo one s hixi
>tencent xboxcan you imagine it
>>740960472Skyrim still gets paid mods, so technically it has been getting new, official content for years.
wouldn't it be hard to sell xbox with all the government spook shit all over their hardware and software?i mean i doubt the snowden leaks had them jettisoning much of that, maybe for kinect
nobody wants a venture with a DEI ridden companyfuck outta here
>>740961709ur talking about console players who are notoriously RETARDED and dont give a SHIT about anything other than good graphics and dopamine flow
>>740963296xbox weirdly enough maintains a pc presence for their gaypass membership, the tech is on both sidesthe amount of data they still collect is probably pretty shocking
>>740961709>wouldn't it be hard to sell xbox with all the government spook shit all over their hardware and software?nah, just give trump funds for the iran war and he'll look the other way
>>740961709it wouldnt be sold, it would become its own subsidiary.
They're 100% spinning out xbox, but they'll find a way to keep actibliz inhouse.
>>740959371Once AI gets setup in the gamedev world we'll be able to have big title AI-sloppa releases every 6 months. Less features more recycled assets for $100 - the normies are going to LOVE it.
>>740964750lol not gonna happen
>>740959371Bu... bu....bu..... but.... bu....
Yboi dick status?>Micro>Soft
>>740964817Eh, Phil did his best. Better than Sony for sure
>>740959371Would be funny if elon or Gaben bought or entered into a venture partnership with xbox
>>740959371They'll end up wanting to sell it. Tencent is the only buyer I can think of.They'd immediately corner half the gacha market as exclusives and ban niggergames from the platform too.Fuck, this needs to happen.
>>740959781Amd said they are shipping the new xbox chips next year. So either late 2027 or early 2028.
>>740960647Yup. Send obsidian to the falloutmines to make a fps fallout game or a bg3 style fallout game. I'd also have inxile do a side elder scrolls game maybe even make it a crpg
>>740960590Even with Microsoft, it has no identity other than being the dogshit that replaced Sega's greatness.
>>740960590Microsoft is the one who fucked it up this generation
>>740959371The fact that they never bothered to outsource another Fallout game like they did with New Vegas despite the IP being popular is fucked up. I guess fans are expected to just deal with 76 and its updates, but obviously that game doesn't pull in the cash a new major release would. Glad that the jeet CEO is wrangling Todd to let it happen, but who knows if the next game will be any good.
>>740965519Theu don't need to outsource fallout when they have two other in house rpg studios besides bethesda game studios. The only reason I think obsidian and inxile will survive studio closure is because they can be used to make fallout / elder scrolls games if things giga dire.
>>740959371>xbox without MS endless cash>they recently admitted COD has been hard carrying the entire division from every other games imploding because GP made the hardcore xboxfags not buy games AT ALL>3% marginslol they were fucked the moment the big suits asked for 30% marginsthey are defo gonna sell the whole thing, they don't even want to become 3rd party on their own anymoreit must have stung HARD not having 80 billion in the bank to bank roll a few data centers in the midst of the AI boom, can you imagine how much the big suits @ MS must have been seething from having an 80 billion black hole in their accounts while Google and Amazon were going ballistic with their AI infrastructure?they must hate xbox with the rage of a thousand suns
>>740959371OH SHIT. Even Reuters is talking about it. Xbots. Time to shut the fuck up and lay low.
>>740960647Phil was too much of a pussy to tell studios to get their shit together.
>>740966445Xbox and Sega merger???
>>740959371>spinning out or restructuring the unit as a wholly-owned subsidiary, which could make it easier to sell, or creating a joint venture with other partnersThis is exactly what the 3DO did and it fucking dildoknocked itself out of town.
>>740959371FOCKING HELL TES6 ISN'T ON DEVELOPMENT RIGHT NOW!
>>740959371So I guess Sharma's role is to try to bump Xbox a bit just so they can squeeze as much evaluation of the brand as they can before selling, but who in their right mind would even want to buy any of their garbage.
>>740965519Todd is old 56 and likely only has one more game after ES6. They might as well get other game devs to make ES/Fallout games. They don't have to be mainline numbered games but are still ES/Fallout games that people will be willing to pay for.
>>740966053even COD had seen a player decrease over the year since they somehow fucked up so much that BO7 was such a turd
yeah i dont see how anyone at ms allowed betheshart to go 15+ years without a new tes title and 10+ years without a fallout title
>>740959880how is that even possible with the current component shortages?
>>740959371>Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella>Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood>approved of Sharma's plan
>>7409666183DO's problem was that it had money from selling off the 3DO technology but couldn't actually make good games. Their biggest franchises were Might & Magic/Heroes of Might & Magic (which was an acquisition anyway) and Army Men (which dried up really quickly). The Microsoft IP library is absolutely massive, they just don't do anything with it.
>>740966783They were banking on Starfield and FO76 being huge hits.
>>740966848Its not and even jeeta said in internal memo that they completly reevaluate holiday 2027 release date. They 100% will redesign Helix especially RAM amount they targeted. Modern consoles can get hardware design changes really late into prototyping since they're just x86 dumbed down PC boxes basically. Only thing that is 100% locked is AMDs SoC and they 100% will push for smaller GPU DIE so smaller amount of CUs,RT cores and such so it will just match PS6s lol.
>>740966848bc that anon is either a retard or taking the click bait from all these lame ass gaming "news" outlets. These smooth brains keep thinking that memo that was talking about holiday 2027 is about a new xbox when its fuckn not, its talking about how they already bought components for this holidays production but havent been able to source well for next years console production. ""We are in a hardware component crisis. When I joined as CEO in February, the price we paid for console storage components was over 2x as high as we paid last fall. These costs have since doubled again. And as we plan for the 2027 holiday season, we expect another significant increase, taking us over 5x the prices we paid only two years earlier. Memory costs have followed a broadly similar trajectory. While the entire industry is facing a components crisis, we believe we have been impacted more greatly than many of our peers due to the choices we made over the last half decade"""
>>740967458Both were incredibly massive hits, Fallout 76 keeps getting DLC and content every year and Starfield is by far the best selling game of the generation.
>>740966679>They don't have to be mainline numbered games but are still ES/Fallout games that people will be willing to pay for.That seems the obvious solution. The rights to develop Fallout 5, 6 etc and Elder Scrolls VI, VII remain with Bethesda. But other studios get the right to pitch projects for random side games like Fallout: New London or whatever Elder Scrolls equivalent.But they should've started on that plan in 2021 when they first bought Bethesda. Not 5 years after.
>>740967480This is all pointing to a future where you pay for hardware in installments or all your games being on the cloud. Either way it’s a monthly subscription.
>>740959371Asha makes sense now.She is your typical M&A CEO.Brought in to clear house and prepare for a sale.Anything that doesn't make money is deleted.Anything that makes money is told to make more money.
you know, the second this new ceo came on board and started rallying the brand, I made the immidiate claim Microsoft was going to sell Xbox. I'm feeling good on this one
>>740967895Nobody is pushing that cloud shit anymore, anon. You're incredibly outdated. With AI being here and datacenters being on full churn just to provide AI services, nobody wants to waste compute on cloud video games. It was originally concepted as a way to sell servers to do something outside of hosting websites and now they found their reason and cloud gaming will never catch on since nobody needs it anymore.
>>740959371Way past time someone lit a fire under Todd's ass. I'm not going to buy Skyrim 25th anniversary edition.
>>740964896Makes you wonder how much Phil is blamed for what was actually Sarah Bond’s incompetence
>>740967863yeah 76 sold like 20 million copies, it and ESO have a cult following that gets ignored. I dont think they would be on like season 25 for 76 and i think like 10 expansions for ESO if they werent making money
>>740967895Only companies that will push for cloud based shit are ones that have capacity to provide to consumers. There are only 3 companies like that in the world - Amazon with ASW,Nvidia with their datacenter manufacturing capabilities and MS with Azure. People seem to forget that even giants like Apple or Sony use external shit fo their services. Majority of PSN literally runs off Microsofts Azure for example lol. In future we legit might see certain companies number 1 point being proudly marketing that they sell consumer physical hardware unlike others who push for cloud based computing.
>>740968474Bethesda simply isnt in a hurry to make a new Elder Scrolls or Fallout simply because Fallout 76 and ESO prints massive amounts of money.
>>740960290How does he keep his job?He's spent the entire year crying about the ram shortage he created.
Should've just listened to the shareholders back in 2014 and sold it off to Samsung when they were open to taking it off their hands.
>>740967863Starfield is definetly not best selling game of this gen anon but it made money as it wasnt listed in that internal memo with games that missed expectations. This means Saarfield actually sold relatively well to a point where MS is happy. People might not want to hear that but its the truth. Im not suprised because reminder that just 90$ early access version had 200k+ peak on Steam lol. Theres also a reason why Fallout 76 and ESO still get new content after so many years.
>>740968597yeppp made more than Skyrim has by over $500million.
>>740968718Starfield is one of the best selling game of 2026, three years later. /v/ might hate Starfield but it's an undeniable success.
>>740959781There won't be one if you're expecting an actual console. In 2030 they will sell a stadia-like cloud based "console"
>>740968660Hes just like all jeet CEOs in western companies - he spreads his cheeks for big investor cock and asks no question and does everything to make line up even a tiny bit no matter what. This is why these jeet CEOs become CEOs. Asian and white CEOs always had their own projects for example while jeet ones never do that. Investors hated Ballmer and other CEOs who actually had even a tiny bit of brain and own agenda which let to them creating their own projects that often were moneysinks. Reminder that Stadia was one of personal projects of Googles CEO kek. Jeet CEOs are the perfect golems they will do everyting and anything to make line go up and only agenda they have at most is to hire other jeets.
>>740968967all they know how to do is to milk every last ounce out of a cow. they don't know how to tend a farm.
>>740959371Just sell it back to sega
>>740959371I've been saying this for a long time and this is something Sega and Konami have done already.They can even use their own studios.Give Halo to Treyarch and Id Software.Give Fallout to InXile and Obsidian again, hell make both work together as nuBlack Isle.There are like 10 competent indie studios salivating to get their clutches on Banjo Kazooie.>>740959569That is not what that means, you fucking retard. Fist your mother, gouge her eyes then yours, finally kill yourself.
>>740966659It is.
>>740959371Microsoft is a large reason of why Xbox has issues but at the same time Xbox would’ve died by now if it wasn’t for Microsoft continuing to fund its existence beyond those mistakes they themselves made
>>740961521Grasping at every straw here.>Diablo 2 got warlock mod recentlyLmaoing, you're just old and refuse to accept it.
>>740966665Assuming COD, FO, Halo, Forza and TESO are not a part of the deal.Maybe Insomniac has enough pull at Sony to get then to buy Spyro, Crash and Sunset Overdrive for them.But everything else idk, Nintendo has no love for Rare's IPs.I just hope MS survives long enough to launch State of Decay 3 on PS5.
But I thought Asha was going to "bring Xbox back" because "Phil was so terrible and horrible". What happened? Could it possibly be that Phil was working with what he had and, despite having to fight and beg Satya to not close Xbox down during the Xbox One era (and thus needing to clean up Mattrick's shit), he did a pretty damn good job? I got tired of see Phil get shit for what Satya was doing. He's not perfect, but Phil did give a shit. But when your boss already doesn't want your division to exist and you are trying to do everything in your power to turn things around despite knowing exactly what needs to happen, it's tough. Then he gets shit on for Gamepass which is actually a good idea and the Xbox app could be on just about every device with a screen on it to help increase engagement WITHOUT needing the console. Merging that with continuing to provide games on Steam and doing 6 month - 1 year timed exclusives with PlayStation would have been a smarter move too, but no. Everyone shit on Phil. Xbox "diehards" (console-only fags) thought Phil was trying to kill them, when he was just killing the standalone console by effectively making Xbox a PC with an Xbox controller. Meaning OEMs and Microsoft could all effectively be an Xbox if they had the Xbox App on it. And these will be the same people who will cry and complain when Xbox gets spun off, fails, gets liquidated and all the game studios big to see if they get bought out by Apple, Amazon, Google, Sony or Nintendo before they get shut down.This is what the loud minority wanted. Asha is effectively making these Colteastwood and Jez Corden types feel comfortable since "exclusives are bad" and "we got rid of [feature] because the GAMERS didn't like it", giving them what they want, and then showing the ramifications of it. FUCK Satya, FUCK Asha, FUCK Amy, FUCK Xbox fanatics, and FUCK console war faggots.
>>740966679You're acting like Todd does anything at Bethesda, he's not coding, or doing art or writing the game. He can be an idea guy until the end of time
>>740969850He can do maps:https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Pretty_Kitty
>>740969790Phil was just working with what he had>knew that consoles were dying and people were moving to PC so put all games on PC>wants to let devs make games in the hopes they'll create successful games>had to rebuild every developer from scratch after Mattrick fired them all during his runHe tried his best with what he had but it's clear that he knew it was too late to save Xbox no matter what he did and just kept to focusing on games.
>>740967989i feel bad for all those xbots who are trying to have a parasocial relationship with her
>>740969234>Heard some news somewhere sometime back that Veilguard writers got hired into tesVI>Lost all interest I had foreverSometimes you must let go of earthly attachments anon
Never forget that Microshart tried to kill PCgaming to push their shitty console. Fuck Xbox, delete Xbox
>>740969790>Asha is effectively making these Colteastwood and Jez Corden types feel comfortable since "exclusives are bad"Meant "exclusives are back". I didn't proofread.>>740970139Very true unfortunately. Although I do think Phil could have pulled it off. Satya just got tired of him and wanted Xbox dealt with like how he wanted from the start.
>>740970393I thought they got hired into Larian.
>>740970393"veilguard writer"More like Bioware writer, he wrote everything about Garrus.
>>740969790im not reading all dat
>>740966679Thats what I thought as well. Todds on his way out. His reputation is also completely trashed after 3 hated releases. He has no capital left to complain or push back against anything.
>>740966848you'll pay 1000 dollars for the xbox x2 and you'll like it
>>740959371at that point they might as well forget the console shit and become a third party publisherthere's no way xbox as a console can survive without microsoft backing them
>>740970729>Indiana Jones did good >Starfield was a massive success, it even charted as a top 10 best selling game in 2026>Fallout 76 and ESO keeps printing money>Skyrim is still selling>Oblivion remake is the best selling game last year>Fallout tv show is a huge hitEverything Todd touches is gold. With TESVI coming, Fallout 3/NV remasters and more Starfield DLC, Bethesda is printing money nonstop compared to 99% of the devs out there.
>>7409710243rd party publisher means having to focus only on hits so you have everyone make only AAA games. Being a platform holder is more stable revenue over time like Sony and Steam where you can weather failures just by getting that 30% cut. Xbox wants to stay a platform holder and they dont want to lose it.
Fuck Gassa Sperma. This poop eating shitskin probably had a rat faced kike telling her what to do and say anyways Women never do anything themselves >>740959987 ESO is really popular, more so than SWTOR even. Cope and seethe. It’s not on the same level of WoW but that game doesn’t count because it’s half bots since 2011.
>>740960590Microsoft is the one who gaped Snoy into the ground. Remember that Chud.
Check your personal lists of favorite games of all time, and go look up the development time for those games. Guaranteed they were almost all developed in 5 years or less. And I'd also wager they either took full advantage of or pushed the boundaries of whatever the current hardware tech was at the time. This bullshit about good games taking 10 years or more to develop is just that, bullshit that people keep repeating with no basis in reality.
>>740960647>>740965519>>740966679>>740967874I said this exact thing six years ago at the start of this gen. With all the acquisitions I thought it was going to be a return to form for console wars with a greater number of exclusives on each side. Sony could have brought back SOCOM to battle it out with COD instead of spending the money on their retarded lawsuit. How hard/expensive would it have been to build a Fallout: Miami/Texas/Canada or non-numbered Elder Scrolls off a slightly updated Fallout 4 engine. How naive I was.
>>740971048Todds reputation is in the toilet, same as emil. People buying starfield are akin to wow customers around shadowlands time. They hate the game but are addicted to bethesda games. All his main releases since fallout 4 have been controversial>fallout 4>76>starfieldEven fallout 4s update that broke shit again after breaking things before got him shit on, and the paid mods for starfield. You're talking numbers, i'm talking reputation.
Ok so...Sony is going to have literal monopoly on home console market. What happens? Do governments and consumer based organizations and such just overlook that fact and let them squeeze people or what lol? Geniuine question.
>>740971048I still don't get how I managed to click with Starfield but not with any of Bethesda's other RPGs. It's my most played game of this gen (PS5/Xbox Series/PC) so far and I honestly didn't expect to like to this extent.
>>740964873I guarantee you mines bigger than yours faggot and I’d rape your sister while you watched
>>740959371Spinning out? The fuck does that mean, do they wanna play Bayblade or some shit
>>740971349it's designed more for space scifi fans and is more about systems compared to the other RPGs where it's about the world and the people in it. So people who enjoy scifi space games tend to like starfield a lot since the whole genre is overall lacking great games
>>740959371They should have done this years ago. Leaving Elder Scrolls and Fallout in the hands of Bethestards who just sit on their asses and release one game every decade, while their most valuable IPs just gather dust is utterly ridiculous.
>>740971320You may be right but people keep consuming everything Bethesda makes anyhow so... yeah.
>>740971140The platform holder thing only works if people are on your platform but the reality is no one wants to buy xbox consoles. Microsoft hasn't had a successful console the 360 era which is 20 years ago now.
>>740971450>BaybladeTake me back
>>740959371It would be awesome if Elon Musk along with others bought this. Think of all the IP that could be saved and set back on the right (straight male) course.
Who even has the money to buy Xbox?
>>740971483>it's designed more for space scifi fans and is more about systems compared to the other RPGs where it's about the world and the people in itMakes sense. Especially the systems part.
>>740971563everytime we get a platform split we see Xbox sales as high as steam sales with playstation owners being the top buyers of full priced games. They might be last place and dying but people are still buying games on there.
>>740959371I can't wait to see Xbox die. Games started to go down a shit path the moment this shitbox was created
>>740959371May the woke immune Saudis and Chinese buy it all.
>>740971349I beat it a few times. I wouldn't have bothered if not for the ending gimmick and lore, I think it's the only reason why I put as much energy into it as I did. I found a lot of the characters and world to be inferior to bethesdas other games but the unity and its whole thing surrounding it was cool.
I can only imagine the dressing down Phil got when he didn't have a Fallout game loaded and ready to go for the Season 1 premiere, and how much louder and longer it was when Season 2 came and went and there was still jack shit on offer.
>>740971705Xbox always sells the least copies of games now. It's so bad that smaller devs don't bother porting games to xbox unless they get a gamepass deal.
>>740959371Based. That take too long to come out, considering they aren't particularly complicated games.
Someone on Retardera said Microsoft shutdown Compulsion Games (We happy Few and South of Midnight) today.
Xbox (trans) moderators dishing out 1 year console bans on paid customers for bad words via surveillance, bans from uploaded screenshots from games they sale, while never producing a truely banger game in at least 12 years. Party chat breaks on a regular basis, xbox live goes down too much, store is flooded with the lowest quality ai generated mobile slop every day.BUT we got gay pride, pacific islander day, black pride, latinx creators and other goy ads on your homescreen white boy.Fuck this whole company in dey azz.Wait new gears, forza (unchanged templates from 2006, 2012), and another ugly halo 1 remake with preorder skins and in game currency!? we. are. so. fweaking. back.
>>740972020I don't know what xbox saw in that studio to begin with.
>>740959880Wow, there were literally no games this gen.
What can even be done to turn things around at this point outside of every single PS5 suddenly exploding? They already wasted the CoD on Game Pass card which blew on their faces instead.
>>740959371>shit out Saarfield 2 and 3 nowoh boy more open world RPGs with the depth of a puddle made to be as sterile and basic as possible so that they are 'accessible' to a modern audience.
>>740972342>CoD bogged down and endedp up shitting up Game Pass prices>while also hurting its own revenue and player count YoYamazing, it's like a shit Midas touch
>>740969171CLOIDE: AND TRACK THIS GUY DOWN AND SWAT HIS ASS, AND MAKE NO MISTAKES
>>740959569Microsoft would force them to use Copilot.
>>740959371Make Halo: The Rubicon Protocol a videogame.
>>740959371>TES >fasttrackedBeen 15 years since the last game and at least 5 years since the game was revealed to be in production. Nothing is fasttracked about this fucking game.Todd needs to just get off his lazy ass and finish it.
>>740960076>Fallout handed off to inXilePleasepleaseplease.
>>740971331>Sony is going to have literal monopoly on home console market.Sony is the next shoe to drop. They are up shit creek without a paddle. More layoffs are coming to Playstation too.
>>740972240>>740972020We Happy Few went viral at e3 that one year so they probably thought it was gonna be huge or something

NEW CORPOSPEAK JUST DROPPED: SPINNING OFFWHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN LMAO.
>>740959781Late 2026/early 2027 before the whole fiasco with RAM started according to Sony specifically, now who knows. I'd assume 2028 bare minimum if they don't want to be pricing their consoles at $1000. If the Steam Deck is already doing that I can only imagine the PS6 and Helix.

>>740959371>This turd filled toilet and this trashcan with an Xbox in it, is also an Xbox
>>740959371How are they gonna fast track more Fallout and Elder Scrolls games when Bethesda is all hands on deck with ES6 and it's still 4-6 years away? Are they just gonna go on a massive hiring spree and recruit infinite jeets to shit out a new Fallout or an ES spinoff?
If letting Bethesda cook was what brought Starfield i can't fanthom what a rushed Fallout or Elder Scrolls would look like
>>740964896Sony has Astro Bot. Phil got nothing for his 10 years at Xbox. Objective fact by the way.
>>740974013Obsidian is probably the best bet
>>740960647Obsidian sucks ass at making new worlds and original content, but they still know how make make competent open worlds, consistent stories and branched questlines. They just need an established IP to leech off of and they can make a decent game. It's insane that Microsoft allowed them to make a shitty Skyrim ripoff in an IP no one gives a shit about, instead of telling them to make a new Fallout game, or remaster New Vegas or fuck even remaster 3 and fix the shit writing.
>>740959371good morning bloody bastard todd howard REDEEM the fallout and elder scrolls NOW u benchod bich
>>740974358you could've stopped at the third word
>>740971563>which is 20 years ago now.Damn. Reading your reply made me actually feel old
>>740974658Nothing Obsidian has made in the past decade has been as shit as SHARTfield. If I had to pick between them and Bethesda for a new Fallout game I would 100% still go with Obsidian despite their mediocrity.
>>740971649It's not worth a lot
Good luck retaining any actual creative talent Microsoft, so that the new games aren't just empty husks of their former selves.
>>740971851Why are Playstation players so RICH?
>>740972020Get woken go broken
>>740967275They don't have any talent to actually develop anything and they only want to develop games that sell 10 million+. Imagine spending 6 years to make a new Army Men game and spending 400 million just because it's MS
>Gears E Day has a reported $400m budget
GabeN (who left Microsoft like 30 years ago) should buy it and close down the same day.
>>740959371Why is Microsoft constantly at odds with itself?They're always infighting between departments, with the AI team, subscription model team, windows team and the xbox gaming team always at each other's throats to see who can fuck who first
>>740975983I'm surprised Xbox is even around given its their least profitable division.
>>740975983that's just corpo life, it's a doggy dog world in companies like that
>>740975337What the fuck?
>>740975983Microsoft do everything they can to keep people wary of buying their products. Every 5 years or so, they perform some grand act of self sabotage.
>>740975337how? apart from the graphics the game itself doesn't look like anything groundbreaking
