We just published a next gen console comparison from James Graham, our resident British game critic. Unsurprisingly enough, PS4 is ahead.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
At least from a hardcore gamer point of view, I couldn't agree more. Of course, mainstream gamers could be interested in Xbox One and WiiU as well.
lol..another worthless article on N4G.
It is all about the games and function of each console. I will Initially buy the PS4 first. If Gears of War 4 is released on XB1, there is no way I am skipping that game. When a new Zelda is out, I will get a Wii U too. It is all about what game each individual gamers love, spec means very little in the regard.

You kinda remind me of a guy I knew, we used to call him Envy.
Well of course.. If PS3 won current gen (wii excluded) with its complex structure that devs struggled with, what do you think will happen nx gen? PS4 is super easy to develop for & has more power than xbone.. Unless casuals get obsessed with it & really want it for their living rooms, its not gonna take off.. People have such busy lives that all those features in todays world are useless.. Not too many ppl watch TV like that or care to use talking instead of the press of a button..
Lets take military ppl for example, they take their consoles with them overseas sometimes or to different areas & they arent going to want to lug around a kinect camera, install all their games, or want to be dependent on the internet to use the thing... If PS4 is smaller (it seems so), doesnt require the PS4 eye, doesnt require internet, doesnt require full game installs, etc, they will choose it over xbone.. I think MS made a huge mistake designing that console but we will see how it plays out @ E3.. Even if they have TONS of games, i dont see it changing many ppls minds about getting it due to its design & the fact PS4 games will look & run better.
