This was so irresponsible.

I think I was homeless when this was announced

>>713505681 (OP)
I was young, full of energy, can play video games for 16 hours/day when it was announced.
Now I'm over 40, sick in bed, can't play for more than 2 hours/day and probably won't live long enough until it comes out.

they did it for the stocks

This trailer was for investors after the Fallout 76 shitshow, not us.

Without that one JPG Bethesda would have been valued at half of what it was when it was sold to Microsoft

>>713505681 (OP)
so was making starfield instead of TES6 but what are YOU gonna do about it, nerd? this is my-- i mean todd's world.

>>713505681 (OP)
It doesn't feel like it tho

>>713505681 (OP)
It should be illegal to announce a game more than 3 months before release and without 15 minutes of uninterrupted, unedited gameplay footage to show off.

More time has passed since the last time I had sex than the time that passed between my birth and my first time having sex.

They announced TES VI just to divert negative press they were getting from the FO76 launch blunder.

this is unironically what communists believe

>>713505681 (OP)
They saw how badly Starfield got received and probably started over, and it wasn't until Oblivion Remastered they got an idea on what direction to take it.

OOF

How are they going to implement sword singing and not just make it a glorified bound sword

>>713506683
lmao just chelate it bro

Fun fact: If TES 6 doesn't come out by next year, more time will have passed between Skyrim and TES 6 than Daggerfall through Skyrim
If TES 6 doesn't come out by 2028, it will have taken a longer time to come out than Arena through Skyrim

Bit extreme since sometimes announcing games is done to get investors' attention or new employees or even a publisher. However I do agree with the notion that by that time at least a vertical slice should be demonstrated in like a 10 or so minutes gameplay trailer.

Announcing a game with a cutscene but then waiting for months or even a year to "reveal" the gameplay, especially if you're already a big dev like Snoy's first party or Microsoft should be mocked. These 2 being the latest notorious examples.

Yeah, he heard you talking about Slopfield.

>>713510097
damn right i do. he's so cool and dreamy. did you know that his jacket is REAL leather?

5 years wasted on the biggest slop released in a while.

That's exactly the kind of retarded shit i don't want to see. A game shouldn't be announced until it's fucking done, if you need more money either acquire it beforehand or reduce your scope.

>>713509623
broken clock yada yada yada...

>>713509623
wtf i'm a commie now???

>>713510148
Extreme problems require extreme solutions. My personal extreme solution is ignoring everything except release date announcement. After that I wait 2 to 3 days so trophy hunters get the full scope of the game and see all the nasty secrets the game is hiding past the 2h refund window.

>>713508092
76 was announced the same day retard.

>>713510348
When your game is ready launch it how you like.

This was prior to Microsoft's aquisition.

>>713508710
Making starfield wasn't irresponsible, dropping the ball so hard on Starfield was irresponsible

No fuck you '83 wouldn't have been revived without its trailers to get investor attention

>A game shouldn't be announced until it's fucking done
Yeah but it literally can't be done if you don't even have some of the developers needed to implement some of the features you need in the game.
Sometimes you need an input from hardcore fans that are crucial to determine the direction the game is headed, relatively early on in the beta. So you release a demo despite the game being a year or more from release - like what Team Ninja does.

>if you need more money either acquire it beforehand
But that's my point, announcing the game, with a promising vertical gameplay slice is the best and honest way of acquiring money and developers since the future buyers see it too - like what Wukong and Wuchang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2nNljv0MOw

The worst part is when they show a cinematic with no gameplay and then push a “pre-order now” button at the end like we’re supposed to throw money at a damn FMV short film. I don’t care if it’s for hype, investors, or cosmic alignment—you’re a AAA studio with billions in the bank, at least show a HUD and someone walking around in-engine. Otherwise it’s just another CGI Kickstarter pitch with fancier suits behind it.

Those institutional investors appear invincible because they're having half of the nation's wealth funneled into their pockets via taxes.

Agencies - > NGOs/government contracts -> institutional investors

There's no contradiction between being pro-free market and believing that the leadership of BlackRock and Vanguard belong in prison.
