GamesIndustry: "Microsoft is still playing catch-up in some ways - but Sony's competent launch is finally starting to see a genuine challenge from Redmond."
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.
Flamebait. pretty much what's going to happen is a couple of Xbox one fanboys overpowered by the ps4 user base on this site nothing new. And to your right we see an incoming forecast of rain and yes that's right even more flamebait
I'll own both consoles. Glad i can play the xboxone without that spy camera.

XB1 is not D.O.A. buddy so slow down. We went through this same CRAP with the PS3 being way better than the 360 and what happened?
The Biggest titles still sold way more units on the 360 than the all powerful PS3!
Oblivion, Skyrim, Mass Effect 2 & 3, Fallout 3, EVERY COD, EVERY Madden, GTAIV, EVERY NBA2K, Far Cry 3, Borderlands 1 & 2 etc..
So even with it's superior hardware and those "SOny Exclusives" (LMAO) the 360 still made more money and had more gamers buying the big name titles on the 360 even with it's $50 a year Online fee.
I expect the same thing to happen this time around.
PS4 all mighty and powerful but Microsoft still finds a way to get gamers BUYING XB1 version instead of PS4 version and that what's it's all about for the companies MONEY by way of Game units sold not who has the better console.
Yes MS has made some huge mistakes with the XB1 but they always find a way to overcome them. Microosft Vista was Garbage but still made MS Billion$.
Like I always say.....just wait till HALO XB1 hits cause that's when the XB1 life cycle really begins.
If youre TRULY hardcore, you will get both.
Im a ps4 fan, and my a 360 uset I must be the only one in the world who switched over.
