    @Grummz Why is he sharing insider rumours in one message, but then acting like he is too principled to report on something that wasn't public in another? The truth is, if he knew that everyone not working on Fallout or The Elder Scrolls was at-risk, then we would have reported that too.

    @Tenkay23 @IdleSloth84_ I think SOD3 is a “live service” title. And I think that Senua may be a smaller project that they don’t see selling consoles. It’s all speculation, but BIG SP games is what I’m thinking. Gears, Halo and fable (going forward), Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc

    @HazzadorGamin I saw a post from George Broussard from 3D Realms/Apogee that layoffs at Zenimax have already started and that any studio not working on Elder Scrolls or Fallout are out. God I hope that's NOT true!!!

    @_Deez_Games I hate that my gut instinct is right every time there's a Bethesda announcement. Me: Sees Fallout standby screen. My gut: Hold on bro, it's just an F76 ad. Me: Sees something Elder Scrolls My gut: Hold on bro, it's just TES online. I'm so sick of games as a service. 🤬

    As funny as this is, it speaks to the expectations that Bethesda have setup for themselves as publishers and developers, and this year’s showcase exemplified this perfectly. Fans have been expecting MORE from Bethesda and will continue to expect MORE from Bethesda, and it just feels like no matter what kind of feedback they receive, they simply will not back down from showing the millionth update for their live service titles on a show stage that is better served for more exciting announcements, like the DOOM story DLC, Blade, Wolfenstein 3 and yes, even Elder Scrolls VI.

    @DrFuryWolf @CultureCrave @theinformation I’m hoping it means they use one there 20+ studios to make games for each others ip’s. Why not have obsidian make a fallout, or inexile make an elder scrolls. Would be sick to see a doom from the coalition or even a halo, or ID making a cod, double fine a crash game, etc.

    Managed to somewhat fix the screen tearing by turning VSync on and capping framerate at 30, but the pop in is still atrocious. Other than that, it’s a fantastic game and really scratches the Elder Scrolls itch. Just, maybe play it on PC if you have one.

    @TESOnline Even better I get dealt cards in my next hand where the player is 100% able to win because they turn all tribute there direction. ESO / Devs know this is a total absolute crock! FIX THE GAME and make it fair!

  • backlogcarl
    Backlog battler Carl (@backlogcarl) reported

    You know, I don’t understand this weird narrative that Xbox went for “cheap” wins. Fixing the easy-to-fix complaints from people on your platform is somehow a bad thing? I’ve been on this app for many years and listen to gaming news and podcasts all the time. They say they need to push out Fallout and Elder Scrolls. They say game budgets need to be reduced. They say Xbox should bring back exclusive content because it matters. They say Xbox makes too many AA-level games and needs more AAA bangers. Most of this was before COVID, but even after, the gaming industry as a whole was called overblown. All I’m really trying to say is a lot of you annoy me with the double speak of what you want versus what you think will get you engagement, and it makes a lot of you unhappy.

    @Asif_not_here @Grummz Fallout 76 might be in trouble but they have a lot to do on elder scrolls online. So they have SOME time to buy themselves. Iirc 76 doesn't have a lot of ppl playing but I might be wrong

  • CrikeyItsDan
    Dan (@CrikeyItsDan) reported

    @The_CrapGamer Xbox COULD be the only console that plays. Halo. Gears. Forza. Fallout. Elder Scrolls. Fable. CoD. (eventually) And more! Exclusives weren't the problem, it's that Xbox didn't have consistently great ones like Sony did. Now they could, and they gave up before even trying!

  • TheRealWes01
    Steely Dad (@TheRealWes01) reported

    @JezCorden @JuiceHead33 Other platforms didn't buy the bulk of mid to top tier studies in less than 3 years. Exclusives are fine but when a mega corp buys 100 billion worth of studios it kinda creates an issue. If they keep the 4 tent pole, cool. They move Elder Scrolls...thats the ******* problem.

  • NeonBirdGames
    Neon Bird Games (@NeonBirdGames) reported

    @GameOverThirty @HoegLaw Case in point: Elder Scrolls VI Most people are already jumping on the idea it’d fall under the “single player, therefore exclusive” idea, but Bethesda games are really more broad platforms themselves with mods and such like a “live service” would be

  • bglangner
    Benjamin Langner (@bglangner) reported

    @asobercannibal @LRSerling 💯 my issue. Not just this, but the writing in the game as a whole. Just felt like there was so much more that could have been explored but they either ran out of time or just weren't interested, which was shocking given how deep the elder scrolls lore goes

  • MasMenno
    MasMenno (@MasMenno) reported

    @Jorden1506 The only part where it could be lackluster is if you go by exclusives. The overall output of the studios has been great. Over 10 live-service games with constant updates; Diablo 4, Overwatch, Minecraft and Elder Scrolls Online are currently peaking in players. 1/2

  • CrikeyItsDan
    Dan (@CrikeyItsDan) reported

    @chaosprimeZ Imagine what Fallout, Elder Scrolls and eventually CoD could do for hardware sales if they were console exclusives. Exclusives were never the problem, it’s that Xbox didn’t have the right exclusives. Now they do, and they’ve gone multiplat!

  • The_CrapGamer
    The Crapgamer (@The_CrapGamer) reported

    @Welfare_JBP Gears was never committed to PS5. No PS5 logo ever showed up. Sounds like Service games like COD, Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76 would be multiplatform. Things like Halo (next mainline game) Gears and others will be exclusive. Prob too costly to can 8 almost finished games

  • jayveeonYT
    Jackson (@jayveeonYT) reported

    @BROOKSWOODWORKS I'm glad they're doing something because their game pass direction was not working I think they have to reset and focus on exclusives. Fable, Halo, Bethesda's next Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. These are heavy hitter franchises that can revive the brand IF they are exclusive

  • nomadicreply
    Nomadic Reply (@nomadicreply) reported

    @Grummz The industry keeps acting confused while the answer is right in front of them. Fallout 76 and ESO soaked up years of time and resources while fans have been begging for a new Elder Scrolls. Most players don’t want endless live service slop, cash shops, and seasonal grinds. They want the next great RPG. Stop giving people what investors want and start giving them what gamers actually asked for.

  • rjkelly13
    RJ Kelly (@rjkelly13) reported

    I was thinking about this earlier. Bethesda was so enormous that they had their own stage show dropping games left and right. Now it's just live service Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online and Doom stuff. What a dropoff.

  • FinalBoss_io
    FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported

    If the fix for Xbox is “more Halo, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls,” that’s not a strategy. That’s a confession that the bench is thin. Speeding up legacy franchises only works if the games stay distinct. Otherwise you get expensive factory output with a familiar logo.

    @XboxTimdog @HazzadorGamin i’m concerned about xbox because they literally have a single digit , lower than 5% margin. And they own my favorite ips through acquisitions! so yes i’m concerned that spyro, COD, elder scrolls, doom, crash, fallout, dishonored, warcraft, starcraft are gonna end up as trashware

    @kojimaicmatters I played the GBA version of FF2, and it was the only one I didn't beat. I got about 3/4ths through, but I just couldn't stand the way you gained stats. Probably annoyed me more than most because it was like retreading my issues with the Elder Scrolls games skills all over again.

    @TESOnline new mythic still broken for pvp an i cant even go to other CP campaigns to play with friend's since its alliance locked an you got rid of the rest. well not paying for eso plus for this trash. guess time to find another game. any suggestions?

    @TESOnline Y'all gonna fix Tales while you're at it? The game is toxic...and trying to enjoy a casual NPC match is insanely hard to do when they cheat. The players have PROVEN the NPCs cheat...Fix this. It doesn't add "difficulty", it's just patently unfair.
