Mark Rein says lack of Next Xbox talk "is more perception than reality"
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.
Perception is their problem, if developers perceive MS as not interested then support for the next xbox could suffer. Especially with the smaller devs who may only be able to work with one console for starters and there's Sony with hands outstreched but MS nowhere to be found.
Perception, although sometimes superficial, can actually turn out to be very important.
@ironfist That doesn't change the fact that Sony had a big gaming presence at GDC and MS did not. Developer percecption will still likely be influenced.
That is nonsense. The only hype they are getting is people wanting to know if all the negative things they heard like blocking used games and always keeping the Xbox on are true or not.I don't see how anyone could see that as positive in any way.No one saw all the bad things they were saying about the PS4 as positive or as hype in any way.I am not sure how hundreds of people yelling they are going to buy a Wii U or PS4 if the things they are saying about the next Xbox is true is hype in any way.
All eyes were on the PS4 before GDC is I am not sure why you think anyone will take their eyes off it after it or after E3.Just because your eyes are on the next Xbox doesn't mean they will be off the PS4 in any way.In fact people will be even more critical of the next Xbox if it doesn't live up to the PS4 or Wii U and it's flaws will be magnified.It isn't hype if everyone is watching to see if the negative things being said about you are true or not. That isn't hype.Not sure how Microsoft's silence is genius but Sony silence about certain things is a horrible thing? People like you sure know how to spin things in your favor. If it was Sony you would be sure people like you would be saying how sacred they must be and developers just don't want to support the PS4 or some ignorant crap. But since it's Microsoft it MUST be genius.
So it is real!? OMG!
I believe 720 was being spoke about at GDC just behind closed doors
I honestly give two poops. I am on the hype train for PS4, and I have already preordered a bunch of those announced releases on PS3 with the intent that I'll roll them over to their PS4 counterparts. Diablo III, Destiny, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Watchdogs, etc.
As for the Xbox. All I hear is negativity, but hey, the same crap was said about the PS4 before its announcement. I'm fairly confident I'll pick up whatever Microsoft announces when it's available, but if my current habits carry...most of my gaming will be on PS4 moving into the next-gen.
