Raise what? You do realize he's nothing more than a glorified mascot for Bethesda at this point right? They put his name on the game but he hasn't actually done anything but tell more lies in a decade.
hes the director of the game, he has a large degree of control on its quality and its values.
if bethesda had just made another handcraft huge open world with stuff to explore people wouldve ate that shit up even if it was dated graphically mechanically or what myriad ways it would've been dated. new vegas was ugly, bug ridden, and laughable in its gunplay even compared to contemporaries and it just didnt matter in the face of what they achieved with that world and that premise.
if todd tries to make a no man's sky like he's just going to get embarrassed. play to your strengths, don't try this proc gen shit. look at what hello games is doing now! no more procgen, just a handcrafted gigantic world to explore. bethesda's way was always better.
>le director
aka an excuse to have him come on stage and tell more lies because Bethesda knows the Todd marketing machine is too strong. >look at what hello games is doing now! no more procgen, just a handcrafted gigantic world to explore
You're a moron lol
it says its procedural.
but the question then begged is how can hello games procgen be so far ahead literally every other studio considering what we are shown in this trailer.
THIS IS THE END, BEAUTIFUL FRIEND
THIS IS THE END, MY ONLY FRIEND
THE END OF OUR ELABORATE PLANS
THE END OF EVERYTHING THAT STANDS
THE END

THE END
I'LL NEVER LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AGAIN
He his core team from 2004-2011 that was actually killing it fell apart, he’s too much of a big shot now to actually get in the weeds and rebuild that, plus the team he has now is a poor functioning unit given they haven’t released any games in so long. The milking of Skyrim for so many years is ironically his undoing
Do people really believe that the second the buyout was finished, Phil kicked down the door, scrapped everything they were working on, and told them to do it again but "my way according to this list of bullet points" when this game was well in production since before the buyout? Nobody can honestly believe this, right?
All that he needed to do was create immersive planets that are fun to explore (which is the one thing Bethesda used to be good at) and he couldn't even manage that. If Todd did that one thing, all of the boring ass quests and npcs would have been forgiven.
he knows he got lucky with the success of skyrim, he knows deep down that his staff lacks the talent and vision and most importantly the passion to make a good game, he knows that his studio is on track to failure, on top of that all of that time he spent away from his wife and kids to make these games, all of that for literally nothing but just to become a laughing stock. he is quite literally on suicide watch.
I actually think the game is worse with the senpaku eyes removed in the latest patch. I got so much joy looking at them. The game is somehow even more boring now. If anyone knows of a mod to restore the previous behaviour please tell me
>Modders trying to fix this will get banned from nexus
At least Bethesda seemed to remove some higher ups (Will Shen) involved with Starfield. I doubt they will pull it together to ever release a good game again though.
even fallout3 had good looking people, look at bittercup and that slave lady
they even had a sort of mannequin look that made it feel even more retro, but that aesthetic got washed away with 4
There's nothing wrong with Starfield that wasn't wrong with Oblivion and Skyrim. I'm not saying Starfield is good, I'm just wondering why it took twenty years for you people to catch on.
>handcrafted worlds rife with exploration
Same dungeons with the same level scaled bandits wearing the same lore breaking level scaled gear everywhere. Not exactly "rife" with anything but a lack of quality.
cannot believe microsoft bought them for 7.5 billion
truly a masterclass by mr. howard, i'm sure he made that decision knowing they were well past their peak
>It's time (hand it over) >It's yours and it's mine (hand it over) >One thing on my mind (hand it over) >It's rightfully mine (hand it over) >In the dark (hand it over) >What's yours is mine (hand it over) >Make it right (hand it over) >And give me what's mine (hand it over)
TES lost a lot of its identity with oblivion. Morrowind was still a real role playing game with some of the most indepth lore and world building that any videogame has ever made. Bethesda got too caught up trying to make games for console hardware and just dumbing down the entire experience. The Imperial city is embarrassingly small with barely anything in it. It's supposed to be THE center of the entire world and the empire and it was held back with shitty console and engine limits. There is no hope going forward with a new TES game unless there is a complete engine overhaul to support larger and denser environments with lots of npcs flooding the cities to make them believable. The success of oblivion and skyrim made bethesda complacent and now even the masses are starting to notice how fricked starfield was on multiple levels.
>Set the standard for open world RPGs, arguably more importantly, console RPGs >Get too comfortable raking in money with no effort as other developers start iterating on your shtick >Fall behind
Simple as that.
Bethesda is done, the only things they still have are IPs. They've been making the same game since 2006 and it's not enough anymore.
Buy skyrim
Don't worry, bros. Soon, ES6 will release and GODD Howard will get his revenge on pretenders like Swine Vincgay
ES6 for me is Skyblivion
YOU COULD HAVE IT ALL
Todd Howard is relentlessly handsome
Is he on TRT?
SSRIs
He's always had good bone structure. I do think he got some botox a few years ago.
feels a little bad. he simply didnt raise the quality of his output enough to compete with the new standards set in the 2010s.

You're thinking of a producer. They're the ones with the bullshit do-no-actual-work jobs. Directors are the ones actually making the game.

Who was that? Wha happen?
People grew old and retired.
Microsoft owns Bethesda Studios.
Do people really believe that the second the buyout was finished, Phil kicked down the door, scrapped everything they were working on, and told them to do it again but "my way according to this list of bullet points" when this game was well in production since before the buyout? Nobody can honestly believe this, right?
you haven't worked at a big company before have you?
Yes, it happened with Rare after leaving Nintendo. Xbox curse and Microsoft sucks.
This is Ganker. Of course they believe something stupid like this.
Starfield still wouldn't be good had it came out in 2010
All that he needed to do was create immersive planets that are fun to explore (which is the one thing Bethesda used to be good at) and he couldn't even manage that. If Todd did that one thing, all of the boring ass quests and npcs would have been forgiven.
he knows he got lucky with the success of skyrim, he knows deep down that his staff lacks the talent and vision and most importantly the passion to make a good game, he knows that his studio is on track to failure, on top of that all of that time he spent away from his wife and kids to make these games, all of that for literally nothing but just to become a laughing stock. he is quite literally on suicide watch.
I think Bethesda is pretty passionate; but they lack the skill of many others entering the industry in the past 15 years
They don't lack passion. You think people want to release bad games?
>I used to rule the world…
I actually think the game is worse with the senpaku eyes removed in the latest patch. I got so much joy looking at them. The game is somehow even more boring now. If anyone knows of a mod to restore the previous behaviour please tell me
>Hire nothing but third-world shit-skins
>They put their ugly selves into the game

in the fallout 3 days they could hide behind everyone looks like a burn victim
turns out that was the authentic look they actually wanted for their dysgenia sink
even fallout3 had good looking people, look at bittercup and that slave lady
they even had a sort of mannequin look that made it feel even more retro, but that aesthetic got washed away with 4
>the future is full of ugly brown people
I mean, is it actually unrealistic?
This is pretty much how it looks when i walk into the local walmart
yes it is unrealistic, since they made it to space
The Punished Todd arc is going to be kino.
update fallout 76 homie
There is nothing we can do…
tfw TES VI will somehow be even worse when it releases in 2030
There's nothing wrong with Starfield that wasn't wrong with Oblivion and Skyrim. I'm not saying Starfield is good, I'm just wondering why it took twenty years for you people to catch on.
Oblivion and Skyrim had handcrafted worlds rife with exploration, Starfield had procedurally generated planets with nothing interesting about them.
>handcrafted worlds rife with exploration
Same dungeons with the same level scaled bandits wearing the same lore breaking level scaled gear everywhere. Not exactly "rife" with anything but a lack of quality.
>Reused assets = The exact same dungeon verbatim
Literal moron.
It's over
i for one am ready for punished todd buying mgs rights and making mgs 6 the greatest game ever made
trusting todd with a narrative driven series is foolhardy
cannot believe microsoft bought them for 7.5 billion
truly a masterclass by mr. howard, i'm sure he made that decision knowing they were well past their peak
Todd will never be Sam Lake levels of happy.
he should make movies not games
>It's time (hand it over)
>It's yours and it's mine (hand it over)
>One thing on my mind (hand it over)
>It's rightfully mine (hand it over)
>In the dark (hand it over)
>What's yours is mine (hand it over)
>Make it right (hand it over)
>And give me what's mine (hand it over)
are these dialog options?

Next Elder Scrolls is going to be a shit show if they release it this gen. They might as well wait till 2030.
>g-guys t-todd l-lost ha ha ha p-please l-laugh a-at him
Picrel is non edited image. TODD WON
AND FOR SOME REASON I CAN'T EXPLAIN
I KNOW POPE DORITO WILL CALL MY NAME
>tes 6 wont be their morrowind-tier comeback and Todds legendary swan song since bethesda doesnt have to worry about sales anymore
its sad honestly
