Is that true? Fo3's landmass is slightly bigger iirc, and in terms of quantity of actual content such as quests and reactivity, Fo3 seems to have the edge. I suppose Fo4's weapon modding and settlement building stuff took some extra time and resources to develop but I wonder exactly how much, since they're done in the typically basic way that most new things Bethesda try are.
Yeah, but how many years of experience with the setting was behind those 14 months?
Successful projects are rarely something out of the blue.
Bethesda's tes/fallout team was also relatively small by AAA standards, iirc Obsidian right now is about the same size it's just that they're handling 3 projects at once. Also an intermediary option exists that it'll simply be a support studio for Beth. However who else does MS have? As someone said CoD devs, but they're needed to provide the steady stream of CoD money, on top of that you probably want people who made an RPG once somewhere in there. Like it or not Obsidian starting to rev up FO5 preproduction in a month or two from now is somewhat likely.
At first they were definitely intending Avowed to be some kind of Skyrim killer. They've just been walking back the expectations and downgrading the features and the scale with basically every new piece of information, until it finally got to a point that it all looks like AA level shovelware.
It's hard to say what they intended at first, I think it was still planned with the possible PD investment rather than Microsoft's backing, so the message it's a bit of marketing trickery - just like TOW pretended to be Beth game but competent while irl being much smaller in scope, so was Avowed. That being said I think we'll only know if, most likely Patel gets fired and decides to talk about it in a decade or two.
I mean, the game is called Dread Wolf. That already reeks of some furry chunni edgelord cringe.
Oh wow, that is actually how you're supposed to spell it. I've been using the meme wrong all along
Developers developers developers.
Emil Pagliarulo apparently told the writers of Starfield to "write what you know", and one of the consequences of that is a quest about expanding a coffee shop.
Sweating from all that coke.
