Well this is a big one. And I don’t just mean the dragons. Skyrim is set to be one of the RPGs of the year and a probable contender for game of the year when it launches on 11th November. Following on from the genre-changing Morrowind and the wildly successful Oblivion, Bethesda look ready to push the boundaries of the free-roaming RPG even further.
The creators of the massive mod Skywind have published a long video showcasing their progress in recreating The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
Although the company has released many albums, GameGrooves is ready to work with composers for a video game soundtrack.
The Fallout and Elder Scrolls developer is a union shop now.
That's good to see. For the last 5-10 years every spring the gaming industry has seen mass layoffs after reporting record profits. It's disgusting. This industry needs more unionization to offer some protection to the people who make these games possible.
that's the price you pay to conduct your business in the land of the free. Stuff like that doesn't happen over here
Unions are rarely if ever good for the consumer. Often good for the worker but not for us consumers.
Yes, consumers no longer benefit from overworked and underpaid labor, aka decrease in overhead that allows them to sell goods made at a lower price. Kind of the reason things are made in China rather than the U.S. Well thought out.
But, now hear me out, what if the 'good to see' comment wasn't about being a consumer but a caring, apathetic fellow human being who wants to see people get paid what they're worth and not just get laid off all willy-nilly when the suits need to make their books look good for the FY reporting and make more money for shareholders who don't do any of the work either?
It's too late for Tango and Arkane Austin but fingers crossed that this will help. MS could have a friend in the White House soon though, and his thoughts on Union's should be worrying all in the US.
GOOD. Stop taking it in the ass from shareholders "we want a space game" but our fans want elderscrolls "YES BUT SPACE IS HUGE LOOK AT STAR CITIZEN!"
Absolute beast of a game. Can't wait.
