Starfield - "space epic" from Bethesda Game Studios

They released Fallout 76, though I don't fault you for forgetting about it.

 

They did the '1st year of next-gen' thing with Oblivion. I imagine they are aiming for this with Starfield too.
5+ years after F4 is a little long though, I agree.

 

They'll just re-release it in a few years for more sales anyways.

 

I imagine they are trying to improve their Gamebryo so it can last the next 20 years.

 

I think F76 was made by the studio in Austin, which isn't exactly the same thing as Bethesda, Maryland Virginia (they moved from Bethesda apparently for a bigger office).

 

Didn't Todd himself claim that he raised the banners of all the studios to 'help' with 76

 

Yeah sure, probably for Q/A.

Video games are mostly designed and made by the Lead Developers, who basically control their departments.

The important faces are the Director/Creative Director/Modelling Lead/Programming Lead/etc, making the final decision means that the success or failure of the project is concentrated in remarkably few hands.

 

After FO76 flopped a lot of effort went into the big Wastelanders update which probably took away some core talent from their major studios.

 

Yes, it was made mostly by Austin, but Pete Hines still considers it a mainline release, so it hasn't been 5 years since the last BGS release (at least Bethesda doesn't think so).

 

The spacer's guild is recruiting again. Good work, if you've got the stones for it.

I've heard others say the same.

Heard any news from the other planets?

Nothing I'd like to talk about.

I saw a space crab over by the black hole the other day. Horrible creatures, I jump to hyperspace whenever I see them.

 

Daggerfall literally had climbable walls, with enough climbing skill you can climb any vertical surface

 

I won't change my opinion just to get internet cool points, FO76 Wastelanders is good. I've disliked every other Bethesda game since Morrowind.
If the same team that made Wastelanders is working on anything else I'd buy it at the drop of a hat.

 

That's nice, I'll reconsider and buy it right away.

 

Still, in comparison to the last generation of consoles when they made Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim; it's a little weird that the only thing they released during the lifecycle of the PS4 and XBOX One, or at least the seven years of it so far, is just Fallout 4...Fallout 4 and I guess that iOS Blades game if that was the Washington studio.
