  @BethesdaStudios Do people play Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online? I read the numbers…I don’t know anyone who personally does. I tried 76 with a buddy and we enjoyed it for a minute but it was a massive glitch fest and that was like two years ago.

  @BethesdaStudios Look, I love the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Have since I first booted up my Xbox to play Morrowind in 2002. But you guys needed a kick in the ***. I hate that all those employees got fired, but taking 20 years to release a game, and then another decade of no DLC or content for said game, and relying only on modders to fill in what you left out, is the most laziest and snobbiest **** you could have ever run for a company. And not telling people about games or projects coming up, being so tight lipped and superior, and holier than thou art. On a gaming engine that is already 40 years old and barely works at launch, and takes a year to fix the game. Bethesda needed a kick in the ***. And it was long overdue.

  @SynthPotato Not necessarily; they could break the system down and redo it to make loading screens less of an issue, but the question is, does Todd have that type of will in him? Elder Scrolls 6 is Todd’s make it or break it moment, if he can’t deliver a masterpiece he’s going to be retired.

  @FussyPastor Prompt was iterated on: Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

  @NOTimothyLottes Ratchet and Clank is the only modern Sony game that interests me, none of what they're doing these days is attractive which is mostly GoW and Spiderman and a billion live service flop... My taste is largely fulfilled by XBOX which is RPGs like Starfield, Avowed, OW2, Clockwork Revolution, and hopefully a frickin Elder Scrolls game soon

  @SEnighTHO @JezCorden Fallout and Elder Scrolls arent the XBox identity. Both predat XBox. Fallout was a completely different game before the IP was bought. Problem is XBox's core identity games were selling consoles to begin with. EDay will be an interesting test.

  Elder Scrolls VI will suffer because it’s made by today’s Bethesda. Retaining employees who were already producing mid games wouldn’t fix that.

  It’s a Nexus-created problem (at least for Elder Scrolls). Modding IS complicated because of possessive mod authors. If something has dependencies or conflicts, mod packs are still prohibited so the user must spend hours resolving it. This was discouraged pre-Nexus **********.

  ID is correct. Too much time and money is being spent screwing around, as teams have to be peeled off in the process, which paradoxically adds even more money because it adds more time. They can't even make the game, let alone manage an open world for so many users 24/7. Can it be done? Absolutely, but you've got another problem, and it's massive. Pun intended. Here's the real story that you didn't know: World of Warcraft didn't hit so hard because it was amazing. That was just a cherry on top; and amazing isn't as critical as it's game-play loop was, anyway. It could have been total junk, and it still would have sold well. WoW hit hard because you had a gigantic new crop of PC users that had finally figured out how to use them, and they had kids who had just grown into gaming. Computer time limits weren't a thing for them, either. They'd never really had to manage it, before, so it's just WoW all day when there's nothing obvious to do. Before that point there wasn't an equivalent. The games existed, but not the era and the likely install base in relation to deployed hardware, and nobody had really cracked the dopamine factor. Multiplayer RPGs had been around a very long time, but they weren't so tailored for jumping right in, and they didn't carry a successful IP, which may have been old, at that point, but powered up the people who'd already been using computers. Everquest wasn't as accessible, didn't have the associated IP, had a far less polished game-play loop, and was tapering off, already. It's still around today, but you probably didn't know that. Everyone knows about World of Warcraft, but it's torch is dimming a little more every year. If it becomes unsustainable, it will be incredibly difficult to replace, these days. You've got the financial problems I mentioned initially, yes; but they're not the only issue. Any new property has to be released into a matured market. There is no novelty, anymore, and everyone already understands the dopamine hit of that game-play loop. It was perfect for the time, and those who were hooked still are, but even they're losing interest. There isn't some massive crop of new users with a PC that's finally made it to the desk in the living room after being in the office for years, with a house full of kids who learned to type two years ago. The financial models have shifted, as well. It's tough to back something that needs constant maintenance that doesn't just try to sell you $1.50 toys every day. That's expected on the balance sheet, now; but it can't be the primary model for the gamers. WoW released into a perfect storm of opportunity. That doesn't exist, anymore. To create it's equivalent, you'll need a medium-sized studio with full creative control, as well as a history of hooking people, financially backed by a large publisher who doesn't have it's hands in the gears. Who's going to back that studio, today? Everything, from that big-money perspective, has to be Avatar right out of the gate, or it's not a success. I've been on about that in my analysis of ID, Bethesda, and Microsoft, a few posts back. The only companies who know how to produce the kind of crack Blizzard served up into an unsuspecting market are mobile studios. So, there's a potential acquisition or partnership on the table; or at least advanced research nobody bothers to do, anymore. You see, you're going to have a million people show up at once, it's going to break, it won't be finished, anyway, they'll complain, and you'll have to float the whole system's budget as things are expanded and hopefully the game still justifies itself as the money quickly begins to count down, instead of up. Elder Scrolls Online tried. People play it, but it didn't work. Fallout 76 tried. People play it, but it didn't work. Final Fantasy whatever tried. People play it, but it didn't work. There are other large attempts that people play, but they just didn't work. This time, you need a new IP. Having a couple of titles with the same name and world under your belt isn't going to help. That's been proven, and so has total free-roam game-play without a rewarding loop. Now you've got to hide it, so more seasoned gamers don't feel like they're being lead around by the nose. There's no naive, new market with all the right hardware at the exact same time, and infinite interest that's just begun to peak, that's ready to pounce on anything that lets them live in a different way. ... and you don't have the corporate structure to make it happen, even if there was. The year before WoW released, the parent company was trying to sell Blizzard. That's where they were, and nobody had their hands in the gears, at the time. Now they're worth 68 billion, and they can't pivot. Who's going to throw that knock-out punch? As for Morrowind, don't get me started: It was a theme park, next to Daggerfall. It was tiny, and stripped down. Every succeeding title was even more tiny and stripped down. The company focused on impressing players with graphics and tighter experiences; each time deleting more and more of the creativity and immersion provided. To create something like Morrowind (certainly something like Daggerfall) requires extreme risk, again. The player-base doesn't have the patience, and the corporate structure, again, doesn't exist. That's another mid-sized studio release. Bethesda, whatever their individual value is, can't even succeed Skyrim with another tinier, more simplified title. They're running on a treadmill. The industry is not healthy. It's bloated, and there will be many more layoffs. There will also be a few big publishers and studios that are going to remain in financial trouble, and may very well pop. You know what kind of studio we need more of? ID They were the right size, they have the creative chops, they're efficient, the tech is already on the table, they have access to the servers, but they're still not valued enough to get full backing, today.

  @TheAnnaji They’ve fixed a majority of the gameplay problems but the world is still very boring and sanitized compared to the elder scrolls and fallout.
