  @XboxTimdog @HazzadorGamin i’m concerned about xbox because they literally have a single digit , lower than 5% margin. And they own my favorite ips through acquisitions! so yes i’m concerned that spyro, COD, elder scrolls, doom, crash, fallout, dishonored, warcraft, starcraft are gonna end up as trashware

  @Ak11810723K I think TES VI probably won’t have the same loading screen issues as Starfield. The problem with Starfield wasn’t just the engine. It was the game’s structure. Traveling frequently involved moving between separate spaces such as your ship, space, and planetary locations, often with loading screens in between. If TES VI is a more traditional Elder Scrolls game with one large world, loading screens may feel much less intrusive, even if caves and interiors still have them. That said, I hope there are fewer loading screens than in Skyrim. By today’s standards, having a loading screen every time you enter a cave, dungeon, city, or building would still feel like a lot…

  @Asif_not_here @Grummz Fallout 76 might be in trouble but they have a lot to do on elder scrolls online. So they have SOME time to buy themselves. Iirc 76 doesn't have a lot of ppl playing but I might be wrong

  @Phant0mp0wer @nickjcal COD gets that much support since it's an annual release with a huge return. Just looking at ABK though, you also have WOW, Overwatch, Crash, Spyro, Starcraft, etc. Just from Zennimax you have Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc. From the remaining studios you have Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, Outer Worlds, Sea Of Thieves, Banjo, Minecraft, etc. The new Spyro was made from a partnership with a spun off studio, so they aren't limited to their in-house devs to handle all of their IP. They sold Tango, but still own the Evil Within, and you would assume if Arkane is cut, they would retain Prey and Dishonored. The point is there is plenty to work with depending on how this plays out. We still have to see how deep the cuts are, but sometimes you need to prune a tree to help it grow.

  @methylene666 @AntoniusOhii The problem is that the pagan mindset is retarded. There is one world and thus one creator. Paganism only works if you have an elder scrolls type of situation where there are multiple planes of existence each created by God. And even if that was so we only live in one

  @nuhre_ There are a lot of veteran game devs who demand high salaries and many AAA studios are built in expensive cities to attract talent, requiring higher salaries all around. All of this is multiplied by games taking 7 years now instead of 18 months (the real problem right now). I get wanting to avoid insane Halo 2 levels of crunch, but there has to be a middle ground. KOTOR 2 was made in 14 months. Double that to give more breathing room and you still have a high quality game in less than 3 years. I mean seriously, Elder Scrolls 6 could have been Skyrim with slightly better graphics and a new setting. We should be waiting for ES9 right now. Instead it’s been 15 years…. TLDR: AAA game dev is collapsing because of ridiculous dev times that cause salaries per game to become completely unsustainable.

  @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline What's lost in this is their investment in Live Service games is not panning out, even with successful games like this one. Why should we continue to invest time and resources in these games if they will just get canceled eventually?

  @Big__TeeJ @FL1NTZ @Zarathos88 They're not the same. Your original post was whataboutism and you conveniently left out cuts at arkane and zenimax where the current rumors are "anyone not working on fallout or elder scrolls is at risk" just to say "look Sony is just as bad as Xbox with this one studio".

  If the fix for Xbox is “more Halo, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls,” that’s not a strategy. That’s a confession that the bench is thin. Speeding up legacy franchises only works if the games stay distinct. Otherwise you get expensive factory output with a familiar logo.

  @GameReaper187 The last Doom tanked. Diablo, Elder Scrolls and Fallout are classic PC franchises. This is the problem they have better PC IP than console IP. And people have PCs so that’s where they play them.

  @ixsiel @Its_Jabo Both are true, mainly the Starfield and creation club content, but having a outlet for people to get their “elder scrolls fix” while not having a fire under their *** does give them an excuse to not saying they had manpower moved over specifically the “live service” mindset has.

  tent pole series games and in between those releases pump out new Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, and so on level games. Games that will be done well received and sell well but aren't going to be nearly as expensive to make as a Fallout or Elder Scrolls. I think that while layoffs are

  I see a lot of people celebrating this because "omg finally, we can get new Fallout and Elder Scrolls games sooner!" Guys, this is a Monkey's Paw. Bethesda, without tight deadlines or being rushed from higher ups before gave us Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Starfield. Three abysmally dogshit games, each worse than the last. While it is true that working within limitations can absolutely push innovation and creativity, I seriously doubt we'll get that from Bethesda. Emil's writing is **** with all the time in the world to do it, who honestly thinks that being pushed to make games faster will improve his writing? Does anyone think we'll get better RPG mechanics? Better world building? Better quests? All this will do is get us an even worse game faster. The problem is Bethesda, their leadership and company culture. Until that is fixed, of which there appears to be no sign of (has anyone seen how ******* lazy Terran Armada is?) then we won't be getting good games from them again. Unless you mindlessly consume slop, getting excited over this is only setting yourself up for disappointment.

  @TESOnline so instead of improving the daily login, you put a ******* battle pass. the grind is unreal. if wanted that much grinding i would go to a ********** and i hate strip clubs. your events have gone so lame is hilarious and the rewards are pathetic.

  @foambreaker @TESOnline Consolidating systems overtime is a very common practice for games that have been in service for 7+ years. Over time some systems become outdated and need a refresh. I'm actually happy ZOS is taking the time to fix up old/outdated systems to keep things relevant.

  @LukeDutchh Totally agree. £100 for GTA6 or Elder Scrolls 6 is fair. Problem is EA etc will see this and start charging £100 for FC/2K etc 😩

  @IsXBOXStillLast @M0NKEYCAN Maybe, maybe not. Imagine if, within a two-year window, the next Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Tony Hawk, Crash Bandicoot, The Evil Within, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Killer Instinct, and Diablo all released but didn’t come to PlayStation—do you think that would have no impact?

  @IGN They should have moved on like 5 years ago. That’s the issue with these studios, they beat their games for Pennie’s when development of new games (with dedicated focus) would pay out more. We should have an elder scrolls online 2 at this point

  don't really understand why people are so cheesed about elder scrolls if they announce a release everyone will come up with 11 other problems before the thing is out when it comes out, people are gonna dislike it and say they don't make em like they used to

  @stormfall33 Elder scrolls 6 is likely in development hell to some extent. There have been rumours of serious issues with development and I believe that. Skyrim was 2011, GTA V was 2012 and we are still getting GTA 6 first despite the money they make on GTA online.

  "Just 4 Games" was a short term solution and issue for XBOX says Matthew Ball. I'm predicting that most single player games are EXCLUSIVE to almost everyone. Elder Scrolls 6 and such... we'll see.

  @SlasherOfGods @el_centroverita @stormfall33 Starfield's problem was that it felt empty & lacking history Elder Scrolls & Skyrim, there is tons of lore & background that many players know. In Elder Scrolls you find books about it Yeah, a Starfield 2 or 3 might capture that feeling TES/Fallout do, but Starfield 1 couldn't

  @TESOnline You need to address the problem that caused the game to no longer work before Sept 1. It didn't happen to me, but two of my friends can't play. Just remember it effects the gaming of more than just the people who can't play.

  @sparhawk1221 @myrtogen @XBOX Has nothing to do with elder scrolls six people have been saying this for over 10 years and still don’t understand. And I hate live service games, but this is an MMO and they deserve to exist
