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.
I think a good point is hit in this article. While yes, thinking that they could offload to the cloud currently is completely bogus, in a few years it may be more feasible.
I think it's simply too soon for Microsoft to be touting their cloud processing capabilities. It's not feasible now, so don't brag about it till you can actually do it. While yes, it may be something they can do well in the future, they should've focused on the things their console is currently capable of. Then comes the point, "Well if they did that, the disparity between the One and the PS4 would be seen even more clearly." My answer to that is, yes, and that's their fault.
Just found out Sony will be listening and watching your text ala nsa.
@ExDexteraDomini
Buzz words here are "Completely Bogus" and "Not Feasible" my friend!
First she says it's completely feasible, second however she believes the cost is high for MS.
If this has been MS's plan from the drawing board, I think they are in a better position to achieve this that Son'y, since their idea of cloud is only streaming and social integration.
I'm curious as to how far down the road MS is with this technology, obviously farther that Sony due to infrastructure.
Thought's pleas
I'm still not clear on how the cloud works for xbone. if in a game like Forza the AI is handled by the cloud, does that mean the game won't function properly if not connected to the internet? can someone smarter than me please explain? if the cloud makes the system more powerful, then logic tells me it's not as powerful when not connected. no???
Love when Xbone gamers say "with the power of our cloud". Lol please you're new Next Gen console can't even handle LAUNCH games at 1080p 60fps. So what's going to happen when games start getting more advance 2 to 3 years from now ?
