re: The Elders Scroll VI: Sentinel

There was an insider post saying Bethesda doesn't work on more than 1 large title at a time. They have been tied up with Starfield and Sentinel for a while, Starfield taking longer than they and anticipated like I said before.However, with the success of the show, there was pressure to get new Fallout content out that wasn't 76 related. This move makes sense, just took them too long to do it.
Tim Cain is back with Obsidian, not working on this game per se, but his presence should helped.
And rushing a studio on anything, I think most will agree, is never a good idea. Bethesda had been on their own pace forever and in a cycle. Starfield was an interruption of that cycle and that's what's throwing people off. They haven't been sitting on their hands, just doing other stuff

10-year development cycles aren't to be dismissed as a trifle. And if Bethesda doesn't produce a generational hit after that long (and for however much it ends up costing). Microsoft will most certainly step in.

The thing with ES is that they have a LOTR/GOT level IP to sell. That's always in their back pocket, and I have no idea why they haven't used this huge gap as a way to make money in the meantime.

I'm sure he has his detractors, but I've seen so many videos from ex Bethesda dev's that love Howard.
I saw one clip with this guy talking about how Todd Howard would be "seagulling" all the time. He said back then Todd really didn't know what kind of power and influence he wielded, so he would walk into a room where something was being worked on, make a comment about how he didn't like it, and walk off, and everyone in the room would be freaking out. This guy called it seagulling, walk in, shite on everything, and leave

I imagine after seeing what was done to GoT at ghe end, and Rings of Power from the beginning, he decided against it.
He would have to have the same control he has over the Fallout show.

I don't disagree with any of this. If ESVI did end up bombing (behind Starfield), frankly, I think that would almost be it for Bethesda - it would require a major restructuring at the very least
Not to thread hijack but did yall see that cd projekt red has hired 3 lead developers from warhorse (kingdom come deliverance studio)?
Thats promising for cdpr but not good for future warhorse games when their ceo seems to love AI

Another title trailer
What assholes. Why did they think doing that again with absolutely zero gameplay or even a date to show off gameplay was a good idea?

“It’ll be some time before we share more”
8 years after being announced lol. No wonder Asha was so pissed at Bethesda

I would be willing to bet they have started, stopped and restarted production multiple times with how long this has taken. They know they can’t frick this up and are too nervous to commit to one direction

Because they know we're going to buy it regardless.

Idk man
I think starfield on the back of 76 did really tangible damage to Bethesda.
I think they’re going to have to prove this game is actually good before they get massive sales on it

why wouldnt they love Todd, they had free reign to be useless and take forever on games. There is no excuse for Fallout4 and TES6 to be this late into the 2020's.
Microsoft stopped that shite, and had the head of xbox put a foot up their arse and told them to get the IP's done, no more bullshite and taking as long as they want on games.
Guy said todd had groups, who talked to other groups, so if you wanted to add something to a scene, you had to get your group to agree, then to another group, then another. He said it was stupid.

It absolutely did. But id be lying if i acted like it would stop me from buying sentinel.
I didnt buy starfield hype and never bought it. Played it on gamepass for like 6 hours and gave up.
Elder scrolls is their bread and butter tho. They will make sure it isnt terrible.

I saw it is 2 years out at least so probably not coming out until 2029, so plenty of time for them to try to polish their image, but with people so pissed they are taking so long, they really need to work on their engagement and communication.
