  @Stealth40k 1) I know about that but I did have to temporarily erase it to save space for Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster coming out soon. Then I hear ESOR has technical issues Bethesda hasn’t fixed across all systems yet. It’s gonna be lots of fun or I’ll find myself reinstalling MKW on

  @KingFanMan He's just trying to do fan service after completely fking up the entire industry. Seriously 76 was nothing but a cash grab. The formula for fallout and elder scrolls games is fking easy, and you have entire genres to pull from for the writing. A chimp could have done his job.

  Nothing says “healthy industry” like an Elder Scrolls 6 demo under executive applause while a giant inflatable rat watches from outside. That rat is the more honest mascot. Xbox leadership gets the live playthrough, the talk about scale and story, the nice clean vision of the future. Outside, Bethesda workers are flying flags for people gutted by Microsoft’s 2026 layoffs and reminding everyone what that future is built on. This is the part the industry keeps trying to edit out: you do not get the prestige showcase without the labor, and you do not get to celebrate the craft while treating the people making it like a restructuring line item. The game isn’t the contradiction. The executive narrative is. If workers need an inflatable rat to make the real mood visible during your big fantasy RPG victory lap, the problem is not optics. It’s that the optics are accurate.

  @Shubhamxpawar The first time I got linux was when I was still using my old deadbeat hp computer which had intel pentium and 1gb ddr3 ram in it, so windows 7 was lagging like crazy, and then I read somewhere that for such kind of machines, linux does the job, and I got myself ubuntu and honestly it really did put new life into that machine, then I also managed to run osrs and elder scrolls 4 into it, had a blast using Linux until I got a gaming build haha

  @shapeformer You and others are conflating two different things. Xbox using exclusives again and Xbox rebuilding its business around the traditional exclusivity driven console model. Look at Xbox's actual economics. Microsoft's FY26 results have shown gaming revenue declining, hardware revenue falling by more than 30% year over year in consecutive reported quarters, and content and services declining as well. That's not a signal demonstrating that consumers want Xbox hardware at scale. And that decline started while they had exclusives. So if Microsoft has concluded that exclusives are the answer and is truly "going back to basics," why hasn't it actually committed its biggest franchises to that strategy? Right now they've only committed Gears: E-Day in 2026 and Clockwork Revolution in 2027. They've said more exclusives are planned, but they haven't announced this pipeline you're assuming exists. Matt Booty has actually described the approach as case-by-case. And here is where your Elder Scrolls and Halo argument loses traction. You're saying the next Halo and TES VI will be exclusive. Based on what??? A hunch?? Because Xbox hasn't announced either one as an Xbox console exclusive. Asha Sharma literally just talked about seeing a live playthrough of TES VI and praised its scale and story. That was a perfect opportunity to say, "And this will be a defining exclusive for Xbox." She didn't. If TES VI exclusivity is already part of this supposedly obvious return to basics, why hasn't Xbox said so? Why are you and others making a commitment on Xbox's behalf that Xbox itself hasn't made? The same applies to Halo. Until Microsoft announces the next Halo as console-exclusive, you're using your prediction of Microsoft's future strategy as evidence that the strategy already exists. That's called circular reasoning and it holds zero weight. And there's an economic reason for Xbox to remain flexible. Xbox hardware is declining substantially. Microsoft owns enormous IP with potential customers on PlayStation, Nintendo and PC. Making a game like TES VI exclusive means voluntarily giving up access to part of that addressable market in the hope that enough people migrate into the Xbox ecosystem at scale to compensate for it. That's a business calculation, not an automatic win simply because "exclusives sell consoles". Today the evidence shows a hybrid strategy. Two exclusives to give Xbox hardware differentiation, case-by-case decisions on single-player games, continued multiplatform releases, and multiplayer/live-service games remaining multiplatform. And your claim that most Xbox ports don't make their porting costs back still needs a source. That's a financial claim. Show Microsoft's costs and revenues for those ports. Otherwise you're treating another assumption as fact. Ultimately you're just arguing what you believe Xbox's strategy will become, "back to basics". Where I'm talking about what they're actually committed to doing and what they've communicated to investors.

  @Colteastwood well, besides being an ethical issue, its also about keeping your word i sold my Xbox because Microsoft promised to go multi, that everything would be a Xbox now they have a moral obligation to put Elder Scrolls 6 on PlayStation, because people believed them

  @TESOnline And the game is broken yet again.

  @St1ka @nameresu Again, if we look at actual development time its more like 8 years. They also arent forcing larger budgets and dev times on other devs at all. There are probably 4 or 5 franchises in total that do this. Elder Scrolls, Cyber Punk, Witcher and Rockstar games. Cyber Punk also made the mistake of releasing too early (which cost them dearly). I have no problem with that for these franchise (although elder scrolls is dragging and potentially because Bethesda track record isnt what is once was). Literally every other franchise does things differently... The ones that do it yearly burn out and lose customers from repetition. Other devs focus on more unique experiences. Each to their own.

  @Mark97009631616 @TESOnline One of the hardest jobs in programming is looking at someones previous coding and add on to it without causing some huge problems end point.

  @abandonedmuse I think it just runs at a lower rate as I didn't max out usage Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

  @nichegamer Looking forward to it, but i'm afraid the games i'm mostly hoping for are not coming. Elder Scrolls Oblivion for example has a PC version, but no Controller support. Would be great to get the 360 version instead. Has lots of issues via Xenia 3rd party, Xbox could fix that.
