but people who claim to want free expression throwing in their lot with wacko Fox News religious conservatives

I like how you dodged my post pointing out how wrong you are.

Judges aren't the equivalent of Fox News religious wackos, usually. Gorsuch is my hero.

So is this a thing or is it a vapourware that just sucks money? It looks like it is the reason that Bethesda got sold to microsoft.

I haven’t followed this at all, but how is Bethesda expected to make a game set in OUTER FUCKING SPACE when they can’t figure out how to implement a Z-axis well enough to make ladders work?

They'll have the aliens in Prey come over and show the developers how it's done!

I actually don't know how well "space" was implemented in Prey, though.

I'm still waiting for the official TES - Fallout - Starfield crossover announcement.

turns out dwemer are gone to space in their numidium skin spaceship.

 

[robinox]

i dig the industrial aesthetic, reminds me of alien and outland. i hope it will be a good game.

That would be six gorillion times better than anything we'll ever get from Shitesda.

Ugh, now I imagine some kind of Bethesda like "Heroes of the Storm" multiplayer game.
Fallout should never be mixed in with any of Bethesda's other IPs. Hell they should not have had the IP in the first place.

 

[Narax]

The aesthetics seems to be going for an early-space travel tech, which is a nice change from the overdone futuristic styles used in Destiny, Anthem, and pretty much every other sci fi AAA game.

There was a rumor a few years back that Bethesda was going to announce that all 3 series took place in the same universe. TES would be the distant past, FO the present or near future, and Starfield the distant future. It was all quite retarded.

Ideas like that get born because of Kirkbride and his C0da.

 

[<3sRichardSimmons]

It was a stupid idea, but I believe TES was the distant future in that rumor.

 

[CappenVarra]

is it time for "science-fiction, to us, is a robot flying around space in a rocket, killing stuff with a blaster" yet?

Whoever considered that is either stoned or absolutely stupid.
They shouldn't draw the Fallout universe into whatever mess they make of their own properties.

Another good reason why IPs from one company should not be bought by another company.

Its a gimmick for releasing the same game over and over again. Fantasy and post apoc were getting stale because they lost all their good TES people in the early 2000s and they never understood Fallout, so to keep selling the same damn game they are off with another gimmick.

So no, they don't need to figure anything out.

 

[CaffeineConquistador]

Plenty of leftists were trying to ban gaming as well. We were up against an unholy alliance of nanny-state liberals and moralist conservatives. That was in the past though, now most of them are in dead or in retirement homes and can't trouble anyone.

I'm firmly on record saying both sides are shit, but people who claim to want free expression throwing in their lot with wacko Fox News religious conservatives is just amusingly retarded to me. Bioware using trannies is the price you pay for Rockstar using hookers, that's free speech baby.

Just lol.

Spoiler

For BGS, i've been busy replacing Havok Behavior with a custom animation system for Starfield and all future BGS console games. It features graph based editing, live monitoring, in-game animation rewind tools, predictive foot ik with bone scaling and retargetting, high quality compression and a very high level of performance.

Sounds similar to Assassin's creed/Rockstar animation systems. No more floaty movement!

IIRC the Khajiit went to the moon at one point. And one of the Empire's predecessors had moon colonies, but they abandoned them because they became too expensive.

It makes sense TES happens in the far future, because there is basically no racism in Tamriel, and having sex with big cats is commonly accepted.

The Legion wears red,
Stormcloaks wear blue.
A cat,
is fine too.

Moon sugar is just cocaine dude, cat people don't actually fly to the moon to get it for their drug deals

Oh they did since Kirkbride does actual cocaine
