Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

First Failure? Fallout 76 ring any bells?

I am out. Not buying a new computer or an XBox just to beta test their shitty buggygame, now with wokeness. Making it XBox console exclusive removed any interest in this game for me.

Fallout 76 was published by them, not developed by them. At least that's my understanding. I never played it anyway, but I've seen several folks on here say it's an enjoyable game at this point.

I never played FO76 but at this point I don't see it as a huge failure. They took a game made by another studio, it was shit, and then they continued to improve it until it's a well-liked game. Kind of like TESO or No Man's Sky.

Todd Howard's Reddit AMA revealed more about Starfield – GamesHub

In a recent Reddit AMA session, Bethesda's Todd Howard revealed more details about upcoming adventure Starfield, and other fun facts.

Yeah that Facebook article from Fake News Network is pretty damning.

I'll laugh if when Starfield comes out there are only binary gender options and it's just one of the 100+ bullshit promises that Todd makes about the game.

As someone who develops using Unreal these days I'd love it if they ditched Gambryo in like, 2000 when they made Oblivion, much less in 2023, like, give it up guys. However, I don't see how that relates to Bioware. Don't they use Frostbite and Unreal?

And for the wokeness, what'd they do to embrace wokeness?

EA forced Bioware to use Frostbite for everything to avoid licensing costs with any other engine - (This started with Inquisition) which as we both know was developed for 1st person shooters not RPG's and the resulting mess was Inquisition (Mediocre) Andromeda and Anthem (Awful) and the upcoming Dreadwolf.

I don't really have my crusader hat on for this specific game/company. I just remember Todd on stage saying all the typical BLM/Trans stuff.

Bethesda Softworks were the primary dev for Fallout 76 till 2021 then Double Eleven and Sperasoft came in to as co-devs to assist them.

Fallout 76 has improved a lot since launch. One thing you can give them credit for is sticking with the game vs. just abandoning it. Content does come out fairly slow, but it comes out. Most recent major patch added some mini-traveling Nuka World with a bunch of rides and quests.

Guess this is as good a place as any to ask this, has any game come out made in UE5 yet?

Other than Fortnite and the Matrix Demo I'm not sure. It's still a pretty recent release and most game devs releasing in 2022 or early 2023 would have been better served with UE4.

There's a lot of unreleased games using it though.

Hopefully we get a renaissance of single player RPG's when UE5 development starts getting more common. I need some good time wasters ffs.

Why is STALKER 2 gonna blow? Haven't been keeping up with it at all, I just knew it was supposed to be coming out at some point. The first one was fun, although pretty AA.

Is it going woke or something?

Nope none of that just a horrid dev cycle. Usually that means it’s going to have a lot of issues.

Not that we know of.

Fight · Mar 8, 2023

I'd like to see industry sales strategies by month, but traditionally isn't it far more valuable to release in late October or mid-November than any other month of the year? There is a reason Call of Duty is on this cycle, is there not?

If the game has taken this long to develop and been delayed this long, why not give the team one more month of polish and pick the most optimal release month(s)?

With their track record I am kind of expecting that the "base" game will be like a reverse No Mans Sky. A working base game, but unlike No Mans Sky which added all the things later for free, Starfield will be a decade long DLC/expansion fest. Combined of course with the Skyrim phenomenon of being released and re-released on all platforms + having to get the DLC again for those.

Special deal with just a 15 dollar upgrade from the GOTY version to the anniversary edition! Sorry you do not have access to that ship that is on your landing pad that you bought earlier, press X to open the anniversary edition store! Sorry, that ship is only available for the Gold anniversary edition! Get that for just another 15! Error, your skin is only available to the deluxe gold edition....
