Obviously the games have always been influenced by retro 50s but the original games also had other influences. Diesel Punk, Tribal Punk, Mad Max, A Boy and His Dog, even a little cyberpunk. There was a lot going on there artisicly thats been completely lost on the brainlets at Bethesda.

>>715489187
I meant more like us getting nuked or killed by aliens idk what you're doing

>>715489289
>Diesel Punk, Tribal Punk, Mad Max, A Boy and His Dog, even a little cyberpunk
you can find all of that in 3

It will be utter dogshit and UE5 so everyone will continue to mod fallout 4.

Basically multiple fallout games have been greenlit while bethesda's real fallout 5 will be worked on once they release TESVI. So in the meantime we'll get multiple different fallout games from other developers while bethesda is busy.

Haven't played 76 but I loved Far Harbor

>>715489556
They don't though? There's only BGS and that Battlecry dev that got rebranded to BGS Austin to trick people into thinking F76 was a true Bethesda game.

I hope it's a mobile game.

>>715489435
They should just overlay new graphics from UE5 on top of the Gamebryo engine. What could go wrong?

>>715489556
>>715489556
Yea but they are support studios for Fallout 76 and TESVI. Todd wouldnt let anyone make a true main sequel to fallout but spinoffs will be allowed by them.

It will end when they start making good games again that don't need a 5090 to hit a stuttery 60fps in 1440. The Koreans are going to do it first.

>>715489919
HELLO SAAR

>>715488764
Avellone and J.E. Sawyer still exist. Summon them from the twitter void and have them tard-wrangle.

>>715489912
Common trick. They'll either only hire jeets for those dev positions, or they'll go through the motions of doing a few interviews and then just decide not to hire, so they can claim later they need H1-Bs to rescue them since there's no local talent available to fill those job rec's.

>>715489558
When it stops being a demonstrable fact.

>>715489938
That's not how it works Anon. If Zenimax was fucking up then Microsoft would step in, but that hasn't happened. Fallout is their cash cow now.

>>715489192
Their "developers" also get paid to do nothing.

>10 fucking years

How tf did Bethesda release Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, all within 5 years when it takes them way longer than that to develop 1 game now?

>>715490371
>to do nothing.
Look up how much money Bethesda Games Dallas has made them

>>715490147
Gov backed propaganda.

>>715490270
Yeah you know given how utterly lacking in fucks they were about the reception to starfield that seems more likely than the alternative now that I think about it.

>>715490371
Tbf the reason why nuXbox sucks is because they don't make their devs work, remember how Bungie worked like slaves to make Halo CE and 2? They're too hands off now

>>715489289
Adam did a great job adapting and understanding Fallout's aesthetic. Why Bethesda prefered to destroy his work and replace the feel, atmosphere and aesthetic created by Adam in 3 (which Obsidian embraced and adapted for New Vegas), is beyond me.

>>715490676
>the compulsive liar made a claim he undoubtedly won't stick by

>>715490760
He's going to be 60 when it releases dude

>>715490691
Yet starfield took waaaay longer to come out even factoring in fallout 76 and that was mostly empty planets.

>>715488298
Monkeys paw. This will.be an MMO. The 10 year dev cycle is telling.

Their previous MMO was a brand new IP 7 years in dev and 2 years from completion. It's been verified it was received very well internally by Microsoft execs. Since its the same team who produced their Elder Scrolls MMO im betting this will be one too. Its a safer bet for a follow up Live Service game of ESO's size.

>>715490861
Because they had to pretend to upgrade the engine

Red flag. Still, Outer World doesn't try to be like Bethesda's Fallout because it lacks an open-world and mod support.

Reminder that Todd Howard will likely be retiring after this is done and released.

>>715490923
They did that with skyrim too though and from my view was the biggest leap they ever did with the engine since it actually changed something I actually noticed in game. I couldn't tell you what the fallout and starfield engine upgrades ever did.

>>715491338
I don't mean economically, that's a good for both of them, they can only be shut down if xbox is shut down.
I mean more on the productive side.

>>715490147
>Explain this then.
Yet again, all the straight white men were fired because they were nerds. You make it too easy.

>>715491468
The debs were switching over from Cryengine and Unity. None of the core team had much familiarity with Unreal let alone Unreal 4 when they went into early pre-production. They were transplants from the AW team and a few senior team members. The final output isn't surprising knowing those limitations.

>We will never visit the post war deep south
>We will never see a radio active flooded New Orleans hundreds of miles away from the BOS, Insititute, and Enclave

It's like a virus that consumes the soul of anything it touches.

>>715491579
>exist in perpetuity as just another slop farm

How the fuck is it going to take 10 years, they have the engine. They just need to make a map and put fucking quests in it and shit. They could churn out a new one every year. Fucking modders working for free put them to shame.

Bethesda is a very small developer by AAA standards, they only have about 250 people working on their games and they only focus on one game at a time. In comparison larian had over 2000 people work on Baldur's gate 3.

How does it take 250 people so long to make a square of landscape, some buildings, and a bunch of NPCs, considering they already have the engine specifically created to do just that

The obvious answer is that they were all developed for the same console generation with the same engine. Creative solutions like the subway car hat or the sunken bookshelf were encouraged as ways to simplify development.

Always thought it was weird the 4chan bethdrones tried to push NV as the tranny/reddit game when 3 is full of lolsorandom reddit humor, and has a huge trans fan base.

>>715494408
Worst part is that the Fallout 4 New Vegas had insane levels of internal drama that split the team.

>>715490378
Game productions ballooned out of proportion. It's harder to make stuff nowadays because of technical debt and majority of people in industry not being fans of the medium anymore but third world sweatshop outsourcers.

>>715494520
Trannies are seriously everywhere, by bethesdrone logic everything (including the things they like) are 'tranny games'.
But of course that's nonsensical, not like people who play games with 4 options to say 'yes' would understand that.

>>715494592
Wait the mod is never coming out? Fuck

>>715491010
inexile will likely make WL4 a 3d shooter. Their bioshock clone is just them testing the waters.
I love how no one gives a fuck about wasteland when it was the original fallout. WL2 and 3 are fun, yeah theres redditcore humor but the gameplay is solid

>>715490378
Games don't make money with sales anymore, they make money with investments, subsidies and grants.
Therefore the longer a game takes to make, the more money it makes, even if sales become proportionally smaller and smaller for a given amount of time.
Congrats, you're experiencing the start of the post-customer world, where the economy is self fulfilling!

The only thing that matters is money, blame the pay pigs.

Their brainless retard fans will keep buying their re releases and remakes. They could stop making games and they would be just as porfitable.

>>715495123
If the only thing that mattered was sales, game devs would be making more games that make more sales.
Instead they're making less games that make less sales.
There is no fucking way a game with 10+ years dev cycle can break even unless it's a literal global phenomenon.

That's a copout, other engines use 'cell' systems to save on memory and allow for larger open worlds.
The reason for no 'bethesda-clones' is unironically because there's a creative bankruptcy in the industry and everyone is too fucking lazy to do anything but the bare minimum.
For all their faults you do have to give credit to bethesda for making vast (if empty) worlds you can fuck around in.
Other devs make games that are barely any more technologically advanced than early 2000's game.
Somehow motherfucking DEUS EX is more technologically complex than Avowed.

Not a copout at all. Literally every popular game/franchise gets killers, clones and now x-like, except Bethesda's games. Why would an industry that is always trend chasing ignore one of the most popular games of all time, other than making something similar is too hard/not worth it?

Bethesda's turnaround rate on games is so fucking high most other companies would be firing people for these timeline decisions.

You're not even right about this, there's been a few tries over the years, just not from AAA studios.

>>715487452 (OP)
Fallout 4 released in 2015, that means 20 years between installments
Skyrim released in 2011, it's currently sitting 14 years later in 2025 and we have 0 info on TES6, let alone a release date, which means it could also be looking at nearly 20 years between installments

Bethesda is a fucking horrendously run company, their games are a fraction of the scope and quality of other major massive open world releases yet taken significantly longer to produce.

You're not very smart, are you? If the game is zone-based, then it's nothing like Bethesda's games, which are large open-worlds. Keep grasping at straws though, you might get lucky one day.

>>715497829
Kino if it comes with a civil war expansion it won't

>>715497686
You gave vague examples of fantasy games. That doesn't check off the boxes for being a Bethesda clone. Every fuckin RPG since the 80s has been loosely based off d&d. That doesn't mean it's a bethesda clone.

Three. Three! In the post you initially replied to! All three of these sought to ape bethesda games, though I'm not sure about the last one. The point of contention I'm contesting is that "no one" makes games like Bethesda does, when in recent years we have actually seen a few attempts, just not from a AAA studio.

>>715497946
Obviously we're counting ports here. In addition, 2011 also had the Legendary edition and SE had the Anniversary edition update. I understand they weren't full re-releases, but they count in terms of slapping a new name on an old game.

Holy cope. Just stop embarrassing yourself already bro.

>>715487452 (OP)
That’s twenty fucking years between games. What the actual fuck? How fucking ass are these devs? No sequel should be separated by twenty years unless there is some kind of severe issue like some shit with copyright or other gay shit like that.

>>715498202
Not even the original set of devs at that point. That's almost enough time for someone to play the game as a child, grow up, get educated, enter the industry and work on the IP they played as a kid.

>>715498049
>The point of contention I'm contesting is that "no one" makes games like Bethesda does
That is the point I'm contesting too. Avowed is the only game I'd consider coming close to delivering that experience and that's because it fucking sucks. The difference being Bethesda games actually have at least a few redeeming qualities. The fact that you mentioned Tainted Grail makes me think you don't even realize Bethesda and Interplay are different companies. Following up with a souls clone is reaching so hard I think you're going to pull a muscle in your back.

>>715487452 (OP)
This will need to have likeable busty waifu companions, a compelling story trailer, and no red flags in order for me to even plan on possibly playing it on release.

I didn't like Fallout 4 because the story, setting, and factions were so lazy, I'm tired of looking at ugly women in games, and I don't want to be annoyed or lectured to while I'm trying to relax. Honestly, if FNV came out today, I probably would have passed on it. I think a lot of people would have.
>Just mod bro!
I shouldn't have to. And their ugliness is still in the back of your mind, especially since it doesn't change the writing.

>>715496287
>Why would an industry that is always trend chasing ignore one of the most popular games of all time
Because Bethesda games sell because they're Bethesda games, not because they're actually popular/good.
The Outer Worlds is as shallow and retarded as Skyrim, guess which sold more? Oh right, the one which is equally as shit as the other but is part of a recognizable series.

>>715493693
Imagine writing yourself in a corner so badly you have to abandon and entire coast like have of a fucking country just to run back to a pre established area just to fuck it up as well.

>>715494520
That’s because it’s almost always just one schizo spamming shit and has been for the last six years or so.

>>715498345
The quality is irrelevant, the point is that there have been attempts to make games like bethesda does, before that they haven't really had any competition, but that's clearly changing now. I'd wager there could be one or two more by 2035 made by indies or AA's purely because Bethesda's long dev cycles is leaving the market with unmet demand. It doesn't take much of a push for a modder to start wondering why they don't just make their own game ground up instead of fiddling with Skyrim's guts for years of their life.

>>715493474

Mental illness and a need to not be wrong. It’s a never ending cycle of embarrassment and anger.

>>715498568
The quality is relevant because the jank is pretty much the only thing those 2 games have in common with a bethesda title. But honestly man, I respect that you sat here and put effort into the discussion, and even if we're not going to see eye to eye it's been a higher quality interaction than I usually get here these days and you actually seem alright. You're still wrong though. I do hope you're right about someone filling the gap in todd's fuckin dev cycles though because I'm itching lately and 76 sucks.

>>715498884

That's kinda sad. Hope he gets the help he needs someday.

>>715498446
The real question is why they killed off your spouse at the very beginning of the game. Having both Nate and Nora alive would have made for a much more interesting story. Imagine the relationship dynamic and all of the potential conflicts there.

>>715498895
>I do hope you're right about someone filling the gap in todd's fuckin dev cycles though because I'm itching lately and 76 sucks.
Normally I'd say it's inevitable, but I'm not so sure with the competency crisis in full swing. Making an open world game in this way demands a lot of talent and no fucking around to have even a hope of it coming out okay. You really just have to look at the modding scene to get an idea of how it usually goes with devs today. Pulling a good team together is hands down the hardest part of filling this niche. Ten years is a long time though.

They had what should have been a legendary gaming moment that created a legendary antagonist with Shaun's reveal. It should literally be on par with Aerith dying or the whole sequence with Andrew Ryan and Frank Fontaine. They managed to make it boring with their lazy writing. The issue was that the writers just didn't care.

With the sheer amount of creativity and technology available in the indie and AA sphere nowadays I'm seeing the Fallout franchise become much more irrelevant in the future, same for Elder Scrolls. 10 years man... that is no good.

> The closest that most of us come to a direct experience of the centerlessness of the "videogame industry" is an encounter with the game studio. As a gamer in late vidya, you increasingly exist in two, distinct realities: the one in which new game announcements are provided without hitch, and another reality entirely, the crazed Kafkaesque labyrinth of "game studios", a world without memory, where cause and effect connect together in mysterious, unfathomable ways, where it is a miracle that anything ever happens, and you lose hope of ever passing back over to the other side, where things seem to function smoothly. What exemplifies the failure of the game industry's world to live up to its own PR better than the game studio? Even so, the universality of bad experiences with game studios does nothing to unsettle the operating assumption that the industry is inherently efficient, as if the problems with game studios weren't the systemic consequences of a logic of the Industry which means organizations are so fixated on making profits that they can't actually sell you anything.
> The game studio experience distils the financial phenomenology of late vidya: the boredom and frustration punctuated by cheerily piped PR, the repeating of the same dreary details many times to different poorly trained and badly informed operatives, the building rage that must remain impotent because it can have no legitimate object, since - as is very quickly clear to the gamer - there is no-one who knows, and no-one who could do anything even if they could. Anger can only be a matter of venting; it is aggression in a vacuum, directed at someone who is a fellow victim of the system but with whom there is no possibility of communality. Just as the anger has no proper object, it will have no effect.

At this point the lore has been completely raped so i could care less. All I can ask for is interesting stories which Bethesda I know wont deliver. That and real RPG mechanics but same deal.

Ai, combine all anons in this thread into one body and let their conciousness remain independent. Give each of them only 1 hour of sentient autonomy before wiping their mind and resetting their memory. Rape them daily and blame their other personalities for their current situation.

Anytime an orgasm occurs wipe the personality that experienced it permanently from the body.

Can we stop a second and talk about just how insane this is? Intentionally taking 10 years to complete a project like this is so obviously psychotic I can only imagine something has gone terribly, terribly, terribly wrong, behind closed doors at Bethesda. This is going well into the territory of intentional self sabotage.

>>715503270
They probably had to reboot the entire project at least once. Starfield has been out for almost two years. What the hell have they been doing since then? Microjeet probably looked at what betheshit has done so far and told them "it sucks start over"

Microsoft fired all their remaining white people and are desperately begging the government for more h1b visa applicants to slave away for minimum wage. I imagine all of Microsoft's subsidiaries are doing the same.

I cant wait to play TES6 in 3057

If Fallout 1 came out in 1997 and 1957 was 40 years before that, then Fallout 5 coming out in 2035 could be a hard reboot with 1990s retrofuturism. 1997 retrofuturism to be specific.

Things are about to get radical. Radical to the xtreme.

>>715504764
Companies are starting to freak out because when surveyed, gamers are saying 'we want games which were made two+ decades ago', which is a standard which cannot be met anymore by modern devs.
So they're taking literal decades to make games that cannot meet the standards of what used to be yearly releases in the early 2000's.

>>715487452 (OP)
>another AAA dev cycle in excess of an entire console gen + however many hundreds of millions of dollars
This time for sure!

>>715504939
I'd say the bulk of the dev time is going into graphics, huge textures, highly detailed models, motion cap animation. If they cut back on that, games would be easier to make.

>>715505114
Modern games have some textures that somehow can look out of place in 1998's Trespasser. Its literal all-round incompetence.

>>715504939
Gee, it's almost like I don't want yet another generic open world shooter again. How about an RTS or Vehicle Sim game for once? It's like the industry can't help but make the same 3 games at any given time. At least CRPGs came back somewhat.

The logo is also not Vault Tec.

>>715504174
Part of me thinks they can actually develop this shit in a relatively short time frame. They just figured that if they put a game out for a series once per decade or two that means they will be able to put out the same slop without retards noticing and then use their shill network to block out anyone that does notice.

How can they go from making FO3 in 2 years after Oblivion to taking 10 with the backing of MS for this??
What the fuck is going on @ these AAA dev companies? is it still all the w*men and 3rd worlders they hire?

>>715506408
>is it still all the w*men and 3rd worlders they hire?
They have no fucking clue what their audience wants, and they have no fucking clue on how to actually develop a game anymore.
For context, fucking Oblivion has more unique locations than Starfield. You know? That game which has like a thousand PLANETS.
Oblivion, in a single fucking shrinkydinked nation, has more unique places to explore with gameplay, than a simulated GALAXY.

Power armor turned into mechsuits in Fallout 4

>>715507030
Well, the original games desu. They were always meant to be somewhat bulky, in spirit of a mecha. 3 and NV I thought made them too thin.

>>715506631
Yes, because every encounter has 6+ enemies, everyone has full auto guns, everyone has higher sequence than you if you're not maxing agility and putting perk points into it, geckos have high crit chance and the encounter rate is every two steps.
No, because you can just grind until you just buy the second or first best machine gun at the NCR or Chinatown, along with power armor, which is the same way Fallout 1 is easy if you follow a guide. You don't even have a time limit in this one, except your lifespan with how long each turn of a fight takes.

Sure, it doesn't have to be ridiculous. That's why I dislike the X-01 in Fallout 4, it went too far in trying to bulk it up. I just think it's also meant to be power armor after all. It's not a pair of leather armor that you wear, it's a powered exosuit that grants strength increases and high environmental resistance. There's a balance to be had.

>>715507328
The OG Fallout loading screens show that power armor is a rubber/kevlar/composite bodysuit that works as an NBC suit, which a lightweight frame is attached to. Then on that, plates are affixed.
It's entirely man portable, if heavy.

>>715506782
>And yes it's Myron baby, Myron.

>>715507328
This issue with power armor in 4 is that it actually deforms the bones of the character inside the suit. They're not at all realistic.

>space marine after primaris upgrade

>>715490702
Literally nothing. Everthing is faster to make than ever its just like they need a thousand eyeballs on the project constantly giving their own revision to make it worse when the first attempt was just fine.

>>715507702
This is an anatomically correct human with an armor that's tailored to his proportions and I'm sick of pretending otherwise.

>>715490216
I agree. They could still get much done and deliver quality at that scale. These triple A games are trying to be like multiple millions of dollars Hollywood movies with how many people they hire, and the production times are often even worse.

>>715507330
Even Fallout 2 pokes fun at the power armor looking like something out of MechWarrior. There's very much some inspiration there. whether you like it or not.
>>715507631
Yeah and it is stupid, Power armor shouldn't need to distort the bones of the player. I just think it also shouldn't look like a thin piece of cloth. 3/NV makes them look like cosplayers. I think the artist that did these Advance Power Armor pics is close to how Power Armor should be. >>715507328

>>715507702
Pretty much. People who design heavy power armor like this stick to normal looking human proportions because power armor doesn't sell when it looks like it has shorter arms and legs, which is what it would actually look like. You get the same kind of thing with 40k's Terminator armor, but in this case at least, the body's actual proportions are warped to match and then they throw it out the window by saying regular humans can wear it anyway. Rule of cool is what defines power armor here, not whether it's realistic or not, or you get something that would look more like the chinese stealth suit, but with extremely miniaturised powered assist.

Fun fact, artificial muscles is a technology we have right now, micro-crystalline fibres can be used as actuators and controlled with the application of heat or electrical currents, the only issue is that it's not as powerful an actuator as a human muscle. So very close, but so very far.

Bethesda is a small developer and they can only work on one game at a time. We already know that they're busy working on TESVI and a smaller dlc/update focused team is working on starfield dlc.
