Microsoft acquires Bethesda/Zenimax

[Perkel]

WTF. Out of fucking nowhere. Yeah Obsidian doing Fallout while Betsheda concetrates on Starfield/TES seems to be most logical thing ever. The most hilarious thing is that there is also Fargo.

So let me get this straight:

Fargo/Fergus/Tim/Boyarski all working under same house...

Well that's somewhat of a surprise. Amounts to little more then a change in paint color unless Microsoft destroy large portions of Zenimax's upper management though.

Ofcourse upper management of Zeni will get nice kick in ass. No reason to keep them when MS has probably 10 times better management when it comes to finances etc.

Papa Sawyer pls

 

[Duraframe300]

Fargo, Feargus and Todd

Finally united as brothers.


... Also New Vegas 2 here we go.

 

[FreeKaner]

Black Isle of Microsoft.

Eitherway it means gamepass will be harder to avoid from now on.

The first good thing that will come from this: Hopefully the end of Bethesda's shitty launcher and their new modding system.

 

[Falksi]

Meh. Fuck the lot of 'em. All it means to me is a bunch of franchises which went to shit long ago stay in shitsville.

I've a list of games up to my anus to play still from between 1980 to 2005.

I wanted to buy TikTok but all I got was this lousy RPG studio.

[Belegarsson]

If it does end up happening, MS will own both Obsidian and Bethesda.

New Vegas 2 when?

 

[Naraya]

Hmm, I was betting that Microsoft will buy CD Projekt Red.

 

[taxalot]

Goodbye Sony.

You had a nice ride.

:whynotboth:

CDPR has a market cap of about 10.5B, it should cost them at least 13-15B. Zenimax looks like a bargain.

It has been clear for a while now that Microsoft was willing to invest heavily (and make drastic changes to their strategy) to avoid another failure like the failure current gen / last gen was for them.

Find someone over 20 who owns an Xbox. There are a few but they are mainly manbabies. Xbox is the console system for children, Playstation is for adults.

Playstation continues to be the console of choice for those who are too mature for Xbox, but still too stupid to buy a PC, and it has the best console exclusives that you can't get on PC.

And it's a good Blu-ray player.

Sony will do just fine.

Is that why Xbox has a pad for an adult man's hands, while PS was custom made for 12yo girls?

Goodbye Bethesda IPs on GOG/Steam. Quake Fallout Doom

 

[ADL]

With each new console cycle, we evolved together. From bringing mods to consoles with Fallout 4, now over a billion downloads, to the latest technologies fueling Xbox Series X/S. These new systems are optimized for the vast worlds we love to create, with generational leaps not just in graphics, but CPU and data streaming as well. It’s led to our largest engine overhaul since Oblivion, with all new technologies powering our first new IP in 25 years, Starfield, as well as The Elder Scrolls VI.

Imagine this.

Fallout: Beyond Vegas
The NCR has taken most of the lands of Caesar's Legion and the feuding warlords are fighting back against the anti-insurgency measures.
What nobody counted on was the Tunneler threat emerging cutting off supply from the West and NCR forces facedown a possibly mutiny by those who want a hold on conflict with the warlords.
You the farmer have fallen in with one of the anti-NCR groups after being at the receiving end of a massacre and go on a quest to track down a lost scientist with information on the Tunneler threat,

I'm assuming you're shitposting, but PS exclusives are banal garbage. Even BGS games are better.
