The Bethesda project tease includes images of barbed wire and and a spinning vinyl record. It is possible to freeze the image of the record to make out what appears to be an album of Johann Sebastian Bach. If this is meant as a clue, it is an extremely well disguised one.
After announcing yesterday that the entire development team for “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” will be moving on to work on studio’s next big project, Bethesda released a new cryptic teaser on Tuesday for what this new game will be. Due to the appearance of barbed wire in the teaser, many gamers wondered if work had begun on the next “Fallout” game. However, Bethesda’s Pete Hines today replied to fans who were guessing if another “Fallout” title was being teased by saying, “Guess again.”
Pete Hines is retiring from Bethesda Softworks after 24 years.
Im glad he leaving. Bethesda has been terrible under his leadership. Redfall, Starfield, Fallout76 and the list goes on an on. His leadership style is outdated. Hopefully, MS bring someone in that knows what they are doing.
I interviewed at Bethesda once, and while there were some very smart mid level team members, the upper ranks (EP/VP/Studio Head) were a total boys' club. The Madmen series ego in that lunch was stiffling.

Pete Hines was against locking out the majority of their console playerbase (ps gamers). Probably disgusted at the hypocrisy of white knight Phil assuring PS gamers that they can still play COD. Acquisition goes through, Hines goes out.
Goodbye Pete.
i wonder if he was asked to leave.
im pretty sure not everyone was on board with the acquisition.
Head of Xbox Matt Booty said that it’s ‘unfair’ to put crunch culture on ‘one studio’

Alright Matt, so you're saying it's okay because there are other studios that crunch too? What sort of effed up logic is that for a supposed leader?
He's not wrong that it's standard in the industry (unfortunately). That being said, MS are the biggest corporation which is in gaming, they should be leading the way, so I expect better leadership than 'it's the standard so let's keep doing it'.
I hate game delays, but the standard should be to delay games instead of making people work themselves into the grave. Hopefully their working conditions get better now that they're part of MS.
Crunching has been going on forever and will probably not go away anytime soon. But funny how you all want to make this such a big deal. At least In the U.S. I know tons of people who work 12 hour days 6 days a week at factories and small industrial sites. In condition that aren’t some nice comfortable, air conditioned office space.
My point is, this is nothing unique to this industry and plenty of people work shitty long hours for much less pay in other industry.
To discredit how the gaming community reacts to delays is BS. All the negative articles, whining from the community, and toxic twitter crap. Can have an effect, especially on a smaller company.
But what cracks me up the most is people trying to spin this into MS not caring crap. So let me ask? Didn’t Xbox and Bethesda just delay it’s two biggest games this year? Haven’t they been taking a lot of shit for that? But they did the right thing, they didn’t crunch the studios so they could get it done.
Talk is cheap, actions only count and by their actions they have shown their willing to take the hard knocks to do the right thing. Argue all you want proof is in the pudding.
It has now come to notice that the company has moved to Steam instead of Bethesda Launcher for DEATHLOOP PC Codes.
Good news. Bethesda launcher is crap.
Sooner or later I might purchase Deathloop. Looks decent enough to entertain for a few hours.
They should release a demo on Steam now so we can all try it and see if we like it or not.
I can see it now...
War. War never changes.
A post-apocalyptic game set 20 years after the nuclear war of the Baroque period.
Fallout 5.
Cue a scratchy record of "Toccata and Fugue" as the protagonist, tricorn atop his head, ascends a hill of peasant bodies with a steampunk musket in hand.
YESSSSSS!
Uh, Damn it I really wanted a next-gen Fallout.
fallout ps4 here i cum
Hmm Agatha's Station from Fallout 3 did have a few Johann Sebastian Bach songs, Bethesda might be trying to do what Kojima did with The Phantom Pain but on a smaller level just telling us it's not a new Fallout. The fans like myself are most likely trying to pull apart every second from that clip trying to find a hint or something most people missed while watching it to figure out what it could be. It is pretty short so its hard to know what it could be might be a new ip for all we know or it could be a sequel to Fallout, Doom, or Wolfenstein. Maybe it has something to do with Project Zwei we haven't heard to much about it and the last update on the site was March 6 whatever it is I'm excited.
for gods sake its a new wolfenstein! the barbwire, the people hanged, the sunflowers (which is probably a refrence to Simon Wiesenthal's The Sunflower. Simon was a holocaust survivor). I mean there is gonna be a Fallout 4 at some point, but this teaser is definitely about wolfenstein.
