Ben Kuchera Writes: "So how controlled was the environment at the Sony meeting over the weekend? I’ve seen a good amount of snarky tweets and misunderstandings about how the whole thing went down, how much time we’ve had with the system, and the viability of the reviews that are hitting today. So I wanted to clear things up a bit."
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.
Ben's hardly trustworthy, after downplaying concerns about MS' DRM same as the rest of them...
2 days for a complete review. Yeah right. I like how they review KZ when they haven't had time to play the mp. Scores are off the sp. BF4 and COD get passes on sp because of the mp. Journalism has no set standard.
I do belive the PS4 reviews are bullshit. The reviwers have had 2 days to playu with PS4 and the firmware update was released less than 12 hours ago
lol the sony fanboy community is imploding after so much trollin, with ps4 games getting mediocre reviews and cod being 720 on ps4 ...this is going to be a fun week around here
The games don't seem that good so far
Maybe this is the reason Sony didn't give journalist consoles and games like they've done before
