Why Bethesda doesn’t release a new Elder Scrolls or Fallout every year

The gaming industry is as big as it is partly because of the annual franchises that release every year. If you were to take those yearly installments away, the launch schedule would be pretty bleak. That said, not all companies believe yearly is the right beat for their brands and in the end, yearly or even once in a while all work the same.

Because they fortunately still make games, not just franchise entries. I absolutely hate how EA and Activision made annual releases a "normal" thing in this industry and truly hope that Fallout 4 will be more successfull than the other shooters this year because Bethesda really deserves it.

Don't forget it's an RPG before it's a shooter (:

ThunderPulse3554d ago (Edited 3554d ago )

Its both at the same time.

Wintersun6163555d ago

Because great games of such giant scope take more time than that.

ArchangelMike3555d ago

It's not just Bethesda. Why do you think Rockstar don't release GTA every year? I mean thank God they don't, and it shows.

triple_c3555d ago

Because Bethesda actually cares about the quality of their products.

Because they actually care about their ips. Common sense.

Fallout 4 on Switch 2 seems inevitable, but what about Starfield?

A Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 port seems like an inevitability, but what about other Bethesda RPGs like Starfield.

I think all games will end up on switch from Xbox. MS has embraced going to other platforms now if games aren't doing well on Nintendo MS may be more selective in the future

On playstation they have been quite successful

I'm not sure too many people want to play Starfield.

Profchaos76d ago

Phils all but confirmed they are going in hard with the switch 2

TheColbertinator76d ago

All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.

Starfield is actually a RPG. Bethesda hasn't done that in a while.

GhostScholar178d ago

People acted like starfield was so less interesting than fallout and drastically different, but I call bs on that. Both are decent games, but they are both filled with the appearance of things to do and items to interact with but 99 percent are just there to be there with no significance. Fallout has better character work but they are both sort of illusions that they’re vast.

Studio has been going downhill since Skyrim. Every following game gets dumbed down more than the previous. I'll be shocked if Elder Scrolls VI even has dialogue options.

anast178d ago

Fallout 4 was bad, real bad. Starfield might even be a better RPG.

trez1082177d ago

Fallout 4 wasn’t a great fallout game per se but real bad? I don’t know maybe I’m a little biased because I replied it not long ago and had fun with it.
