>>743362450
If I had to guess, Bethesda Studios just became a social club more than a game developer over the years. I think the enormous success of Skyrim accelerated this. The management probably just started viewing their devs as their “friends” and didn’t want to hire anyone even if they were barely working. Quickest way to kill productivity in a company is to create a laidback “chill” environment where there’s no incentive to work. You gotta crack the whip if you want to get shit done.
>>
>>743362450
They realized they have golems that will buy anything they shit out so there's no point in making new shit. Just release skyrim with a new coat of paint and don't fix anything. That would require investment and modders will slave away for free too lmao

>>743362450
Bethesda takes 4-5 years to make their games and they took 4-5 years each to release the 3 games they released since skyrim. They're just a small dev who never expanded or grown to have multiple different teams working on multiple games at once.

Fallout 4 is utter dogshit, an utter slop is a game with no content and completely boring and a shit story. Starfield is a masterpiece because it has a competently written story, well written quests, actual towns to visit and better gunplay and loot system that actually makes playing it long term fun.

Nope. People wouldn't mod it if the base game wasn't fun. Look at Starfield, a bunch of shitty planets instead of one large world to explore killed the game and made it unfun, and it's mod scene reflects that. People only mod games when the vanilla version is fun.
>>
>>743367394
Most of the board are retards that get their info from e-celebs, and Zenimax knew this. Which is why they rebranded Battlecry Studios to Bethesda (((((Austin))))) when they were making F76.

He never did you fucking retard, Avellone and Obsidian pitched a possibility of making another Fallout game that didn't fit in either studios dev time or release window. That shit was said in 2010, Obsidian was still working on Alpha Protocol and South Park, BGS was finishing up Skyrim and Fallout 4 was in pre-production.
Take everything that Avellone says with a grain of salt. The dude is bitter after getting nothing out of Fallout and having to watch it turn into a multi-media, multi-billion dollar franchise.

They have zero knowledge of the business side or the technical side of game development. For them games are made from magic. You'd think people who loved New Vegas this much would download the free mod kits bethesda puts out and make their own content.

The issues with Outer Worlds and Avowed came down to poor design decisions that could be mitigated by putting better people in charge, like Sawyer or Cain

Meanwhile, Fallout 4 and Starfield were hunks of shit made by some of the most incompetent people out there, and there's no fixing that at this point

I played PoE and Tyranny both were shit.
PoE had all of one area of any interest, the druids in the elven town and they did fuck all with them. It was already bad with the kickstarter shitters everywhere but it became a waste of time after the trial.
Tyranny is terrible. I genuinely do not see what people who shill that see in it. It's tasteless, what little it steals from black company is boring, it spergs endless lore at you which amounts to "we're a matriarchy", "the evil one is a woman!" (but conveniently absent so you don't have to fight her) and "we're the randumb evil guys and they're the backstabbing evil guys".

I'm not convinced this is the best way to handle it by default. When it becomes a social club where nothing gets done then yeah, you have to crack the whip.

I doubt it, desu. Not only is the AI getting better but people are learning how to communicate with it more effectively as well. I predict that the only thing using AI will do is make them more efficient, and and without anything close to a meaningful loss of quality.
>>
>>743387162
Has there been a game produced using AI that’s notably better then the dime a dozen slop on steam or psn? Microsoft would no doubt love to have a big product shipped using AI to justify their investments but it really doesn’t seem like video games will be the space to do it
>>
>>743387356
I have no idea, but considering the fact that there are swathes of lunatics who will go out of their way to review bomb anything AI related regardless of the quality of the content itself, it wouldn't surprise me if no one publicly admits they've used it to help with their work. At least not for a while.

IMO everyone is probably using it. To not use it would be like expecting to build something without using google. It's just unthinkable.

Optimistic are we? Even if they repurpose a game they were working on its going to be 3 or 4 years at least. Don't expect Obsidian to churn out a Fallout game in 18 months again unless you want to release in a state worse then Cyberpunk 2077
