NGL I don't have a lot of faith in Bethesda to actually create quality anymore. The image for this is for Vegas, which was more obsidian's work, and they did it in a fraction of time, I think?
Yea it was a very short window for development, 18 months: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas
I'm not a CEO or anything but maybe they should try making an elder scrolls more than once every 20 years.
Is Skyrim really the last one???
Just make creative and fun games.
The morale must be great.
Is that code for "Rerelease Skyrim again"?
Its code for more horse armour and online services that they can milk for years
I mean fuck, better than what they've been doing.
I mean if they did the Oblivion Remastered with Skyrim, that's easy fucking money.
Or even Fallout 3 & 4.
Honestly I'd be alright with fallout 3 remastered
That’s what you’re going to get.
Honestly, I'd be alright with $10,000
That's what you're going to get!
I like this game
What else have they been busy with? Just Starfield?
Likely ES6, and the DLC for Starfield.
I was wondering which franchises other than their "strongest franchises". I think it's starfield and doom.
Seriously, it isn't like Bethesda has a long list of IP to work with here.
Other than Elder Scrolls and Fallout (which they should already be assumed to be focusing on to begin with), the only other IPs that are still alive would be DOOM and maybe Wolfenstein,
Dishonored is dead, Quake is dead, they shuttered Tango so no continuation of Hi-Fi Rush or Ghostwire, RAGE is dead.
Thanks I suppose I forgot about Doom. So, he meant they shouldn't focus on Doom lol.
Oh is it Bethesda and ID software now? I didn't know they merged. I knew ID software helped with Starfield, but I thought they were still separate.
The Bethesda-id software-ZeniMax shit is so confusing, especially since Microsoft acquired Zenimax, and by extension Bethesda and id, in 2021.
They are "technically" separate but Bethesda is still the primary publisher of id software's games, and thus they do fall under their umbrella.
Hi-fi got picked up by a different studio, didn't it?
Not as far as I'm aware.
Tango was purchased by Krafton and HiFi Rush 2 is supposedly in the works.
TES6 for sure and possibly a new Fallout, if rumors are true. Also don't Bethesda handle Doom, now? There's gonna be a DLC to Dark Age coming out tomorrow.
id develops Doom, Bethesda is the publisher, both of which are owned by ZeniMax, itself owned by Micro$lop under the Xbox division
Also don’t Bethesda handle Doom, now?
No, id Software is the developer company, ~~which is owned by the publisher~~ and published by Bethesda Softworks, both of which are owned by ZeniMax. The "Bethesda" that does actual game development is called Bethesda Game Studios; they handle franchises like Fallout and TES.
Which one is talking in the article though? I am not sure who Jill Braff is; boss of the game development studio, or the larger publishing part of "Bethesda?" I thought Todd was the main person in charge of the game dev studio part, so I assume this is coming from the publishing part of Bethesda.
Bethesda is hit particularly hard by the layoffs, IGN understands, with staff across its many development studios
It's talking about the publisher.
