  1. Company News Bethesda acquired by Microsoft

    Well, they've got three main options. 1. Not releasing a game on PS5 2. Releasing it on PS5 a while later 3. What they did with The Outer Worlds where they released it on Gamepass for "free" the same day that they released it on PS4 for full price. Ultimately they'll do whatever they think...

  2. Company News Bethesda acquired by Microsoft

    Pretty huge news. There have been rumors around for years that Zenimax owners wanted to sell, and Microsoft is really the only gaming company that was in a position where they could buy them without breaking a sweat, so I guess this makes sense. As long as their games still release on Steam the...

  3. Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting - coming Fall 2024

    Can we all just agree to call this game Skyrim: New Vegas? My first impression is that I worry that its going to be very generic. Personally when I play a new game I want it to give me a new experience that no game before has ever given me. Kingdom Come: Deliverance for instance scratched an...

  4. Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Get the Titanium Spine 3000 implant for only 599 Eddies at Tinker Teddy's Ripperdock. Discounted to 499 if you get a boobjob at the same time. Minimal chance of cyberpsychosis. (in the rare event that implant causes cyberpsychosis Tinker Teddy's Ripperdock is not legally responsible for any...

  5. Video Games Can Never Be Art -Roger Ebert

    You make a good point. This reminds me of an article written by science fiction novelist Peter Watts (https://www.rifters.com/crawl/?p=8692). The TLDR of the article is basically that he used to think that adding more and more interactivity to a game would make the storytelling better untill he...

  6. Video Games Can Never Be Art -Roger Ebert

    Pictures tell statiic stories. Books tell linear stories through text. Silent films combine sequences of pictures and text to tell linear stories. Talking films added another dimension to the representation by adding sound. Similarly, video games added new dimensions to the representation by...

  7. Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    This shitpost is accidentally hilarious when you take into consideration that Elder Scrolls 6 is probably going to be set in Hammerfell and that two of the most popular theories about what the main quest will be about are: 1. A three-way war between the Thalmor (High elf supremacists), The...

  8. Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Considering that Fallout 4 came out six months after The Witcher 3 and Starfield is probably an autumn 2021 game, which is one year after Cyberpunk 2077 *current* release date it seams quite likely to me that Elder Scrolls 6 will release at around the same time as The Witcher 4. As far as I know...

  9. Warhammer Total War: Warhammer 2

    As far as I know Three Kingdoms did quite well commercially, with sales numbers similar to Warhammer 2. Its just that player numbers dropped off quickly because the Chinese and casual players only played it for a short while before moving back/on to other games, while most of the hardcore Total...

  10. Elder Scrolls Will the Elder Scrolls 6 have more depth than Morrowind

    More depth than Morrowind? No. More depth than Fallout 3, Skyrim and Fallout 4? I don't think that's unreasonable to hope for. I was pessimistic about Bethesda's future after Skyrim because of the fact that that game received such unanimous praise in the mainstream despite its glaring flaws. If...

  11. Elder Scrolls The Elder Scrolls VI - officially announced but you'll have to wait

    Honestly, if Zenimax were smarter they would have tried to turn one of their secondary studios (Arcane would be the obvious choice) into a studio that makes Fallout: New Vegas-type spin-off games for the Fallout and Elder Scrolls franchises in between the numbered installments. If these...

  12. Elder Scrolls The Elder Scrolls VI - officially announced but you'll have to wait

    Fair enough, but I do think there definitely is a type of game there that has a very high sales potential if its good. Maybe not as high as ES 6, but still. Noone has yet to do that type of game properly in my opinion. The Mass Effect games are old and not that great, except Andromeda which is...

  13. Elder Scrolls The Elder Scrolls VI - officially announced but you'll have to wait

    Todd Howard implied in an interview that doing Starfield before Elder Scrolls 6 was his and Bethesda Maryland's choice, not Zenimax's. I got the impression that its his "dream game" and that a lot of employees at Maryland wanted to do something different for a couple of years instead of just...

  14. Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Fairly predictable tbh considering CDPR's history of always delaying things. I'm surprised that Half-Life: Alyx hasn't been delayed yet.

  15. The PS5 and Xbox 2 thread - it's happening

    I'm pretty shure that the PS5 will be 500 dollars. I don't think Sony wants to go above that. On the other hand, going for 400 would probably mean some pretty major compromises on the hardware. As for Microsoft, well, if they're doing one console then they'll probably want to sell it at the same...
