Where the FRICK is it?! What is taking them so long to even announce a date for their stupid Starfield showcase? Fricking Todd, damn that man - damn him!

I keep forgetting this game is a thing until Ganker reminds me of it again.
I have never been less excited for a Bethesda game.
because xbox is shit and they have no games so they are forced to scatter the releases: FM8 this spring and Starfield in fall/winter. also their strategy is to postpone and be vague so hispanics don't cancel their $200 annual subscription
Showcase coming within two weeks
Possible Superbowl trailer has also been rumored.
>Superbowl trailer
people saying
>they are just taking more time to polish the game!
are zoomies who haven't been playing games for very long. reality is that they promised way too much shit and the game doesn't have near the amount of promised shit near their projected release dates. the game is most likely a pile of shit right now and they are currently trying to rush it out the door to keep the fans from b***hing. the game is going to be a gigantic pile of dogshit when it does release. screencap this if you want.
big rpgs are always bugged to shit on release, you aren't exactly nostradamus here. it could still be a good game though.
>it could still be a good game though.
What's there to be good, it's not like Emil Pagliarulo's work is some kind of unknown variable.
Will Shen and shipbuilding are the new variables
mods
base skyrim isn't very good either
i'm not talking about bugs, i've been playing bethesda games since 2006 so i don't have an issue dealing with them in that regard. i'm talking about content that was promised but is simply not going to be in the game.
historically speaking a game getting delayed is a massive red flag. most times its a case of "oh shit we arent as near completion as we thought" as opposed to them putting finishing touches on games. this is especially true in the age of frequent updates where devs can just patch in minor fixes with a quick update after release.
i think the only dev who delays their game and actually releases a finished product is rockstar, but i feel like that might just be a marketing strategy for them.
What ? They didn't promise shit.
>you can fly the ship
>theres 3 billion planets to go to
just off the top of my head
1000 and he has repeatedly stated many are simply resource planets not massive planets full of quests.
knowing bethesda "resource planet" means planets where you hover in orbit and do the probing minigame from mass effect 2 and like 3 of them you can actually land on
Bethesda isn't known for pulling a Spore or No Man's Sky and vastly misrepresenting what's in their game. Most of "Todd's lies" have been smaller cut content that we never got to see in the first place, only hear about. If they show off flying in the gameplay reveal, there's going to be flying. If they show off various planets and systems, we'll see them in game.
Shit that is easily on the chopping block is content only mentioned in passing, like being an undercover agent in the pirate faction.
>Bethesda isn't known for pulling a Spore or No Man's Sky
where were you during fallout 76?
Ignoring it entirely cause it was clear it wasn't a Todd game.
>Multiplayer live service
>Only 2 years in development
>New studios brought on to help develop it, more hands on the game than any previous Bethesda game
It was fricked from the get go
>Only 2 years in development
>last major release other than 76 was fallout 4
>fallout 4 released in 2015, almost a decade ago
>starfield STILL getting delayed
either they are incompetent or lazy
they used to release a full game every 4-5 years
Skyrim took 6 years of development and Fallout 4 took 7, it just seemed smaller cause other games were being released during each development - Fallout 3 during Skyrim and Skyrim during Fallout 4. Starfield was being worked on at the same time as Fallout 76, which feels like a side project so everyone looks back towards Fallout 4 instead. 5 years between 76 and the next game is average for how long it's taking them to make each game these days. I'd expect TES VI to take 8.5 years total and be released 6 years after Starfield at the rate they're going.
I want to believe that their tools have improved since these days so it's easier to add content. SO maybe we will indeed gets the tons of content promised.
That's not true at all. The only overlap between fallout 3 and skyrim was preproduction and that's just hashing out the story and concept art. Production didn't actually start until after fallout 3 was released.
What's not true? Preproduction is working on the game and it becomes part of how long development from start to finish takes.
You have no idea what your talking about.
It only got delayed once though. I know people are excited to play/trash on it, but I prefer the silence than a continuous feeding of game information that never made it into the actual game or is noise not about the game itself (Night City Wire's bullshit).
fallout 76 was nothing but a cash grab.
Fallout 76 worked as advertised. They didn't promise any features that weren't in the game. People were just 'meh' on the entire idea from the announcement.
>worked as advertised
Go home Todd you're drunk.
To be fair they implied in the advertising that the game wasn't going to be a complete disaster on launch. They knew the state the game was in and launched anyway.
Otherwise yea the features were all as promised.
Most of the issues were related to the netcode which was always a concern on my radar just knowing it was being hacked by another studio (formerly Battlecry rebranded into Bethesda Austin) into an engine that was never built to track more than a single player. It's also something that really can have invisible problems not manifest until beta/ship because that's when servers need to operate at scale. And I don't think Bethesda expected the reaction to be so hostile, because generally their audiences have been willing to tolerate a bit of bugginess because they love their games. I think people were kind of meh on the entire idea of FO76 which is why everyone was ready to pounce on it.
You sound like a rube who adopts cynicism as defense mechanism.
>you can fly the ship
Yes, they shown it?
>See that planet? You can land on it
>How to spot an anon who fell for CDPR propaganda.
Starfield is the game I'm looking forward to most this year by a long shot but your premise is still correct. A game being delayed has consistently been a red flag that it's a fricking disaster. Total Warhammer 3, Darktide and Cyberpunk 2077 are all recent examples that come to mind.
Many of the big games of 2022 got delayed into 2023. Atomic Heart, Pragmata, Dead Island 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Skull & Bones, Forspoken, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, Kerbal Space Program 2, STALKER 2, Redfall, Suicide Squad, BOTW2.
If they're all going to be shit - we already know half or more of them are guaranteed to be - then at least Starfield is in good company.
When a game is delayed once it's usually fine, when it's delayed twice or more that's a sign that the development is in the shitter and they're scrambling to salvage it.
Starfield's only been delayed once so it's not a huge red flag yet, but if the rumours about it being delayed again past Q2 are real then it's probably a trainwreck in the making.
BotW was delayed. Elden Ring was delayed. I'm pretty sure every game throughout the pandemic got delayed at some point.
you're correct
with that said, i'll probably still buy it
YOU WILL BE PATIENT ANON!!!
>manchild chimping out
Now we see this shit more and more.
Even the average mentally ill troony is more stable than this kind of embarrassing NPC
it’ll release in march right?
Buy more copies of Skyrim to motivate Todd.
Put your faith in Todd.
The faithful shall be rewarded with paradise.
I predict Todd uses this as a chance to live his dream of showing a game and then releasing it less than a month later.
I hope so much this game will be the one to finally break Bethesda
I still don't know who this is.
That's my wife.

Starfield will be the best bethesda game since Morrowind.
Why? Because they WANT to make it. The game will be imbued by the soul of the boomer developers who are in bethesda for 20 years... One last ride of the gang... Just to show these kids that us old timers still got it... heh. It was good working with you guys........... see you......... space cowboy *fingergun*
This 100%. I unironically think they'll nail it.
>boomer developers who are in bethesda for 20 years
Hate to break it to you, but 99% of the old guard has left Bethesda.
The few who are left are busy attending meetings (that could have been a mail) with the marketing dept, influencers and social media coordinators.
Matthew Carofano Morrowind's Lead artist is an art director now
you're memeing, but this is unironically true. todd said they've been working on ideas for starfield since the early 2000s.
who cares about generic space setting with fallout 4 gameplay?
It's a make or break game for Microsoft it's got to be polished and good and they know it.
2nd half of 2023 was last I heard. Before that it was first half of 2023. If they delay again it'll probably be shit.

This was leaked yesterday by an intern

Cool your jets, man. They said soon after the Microsoft direct, everything else has concrete release dates, and Bethesdaal's subgroup Taito announced and released a game the same day, so it'll probably be this week or next for the Starfield direct with a release date.
Obsidian is to creative literary genius what Bethesda is to hack pulp idiocy. They both so far surpass anyone else in their field that they will be remembered 1,000 years from now as a kind of yin and yang of fantasy, a Manichean duality of speculative letters. For every sublime, luminous beauty that Obsidian has gifted the world, Bethesda has cursed us with a tedious, banal ugliness. It is unfair to compare the two directly on any one point, because Bethesda is in every way the anti-Obsidian, patently sterile, parasitical, and inferior, but so much so that it becomes a monument in it's own right, and counterbalances Obsidian. Could one exist without the other?
Obsidian obviously could. But it is only by the contrast that Bethesda offers that we can truly appreciate the full depths and heights of Obsidian. Our understanding of RPGs would be incomplete if Bethesda had never set development to games. It is through only the abject failure and futility of Bethesda that we can approach an apprehension of the true scope and scale of Obsidian's hitherto inconceivable greatness. Perhaps this is what Avellone had in mind when he wrote about the Bear and the Bull. If Obsidian is a civilizing hope in the image of NCR, truly Bethesda is like unto Caesar. It is only reflected in the awfulness of the one that we can fully see the goodness of the other.
>Obsidian creative literary genius
Imagine saying this when Outer worlds exists.
cope harder troony.
Pentiment OBLITERATES any Bethesdiot writing.
Obsidian is worse than Bethesda because at least Bethesda acknowledges their writing sucks so they try to do it as little as possible they don't rely on college freshmen who took half a semester of philosophy to circle jerk on reddit about how deep their game is when it's the most white bread surface level examination of human morality.

You cant even land on a planet freely.
Immersion ruined.
It'll release September-November 2023. And it will still be a buggy mess on release.
Only sane man (other than myself) in this thread.
They're waiting so they can have a crossover with Star Citizen
I blame CDPR. I blame them so fricking hard. They have always been an obnoxious marketing hype monster who emphasize graphics over everything else. They got lucky one fricking time, because apparently audiences have no standards for physics, AI, or dynamic systems when it comes to fantasy games. And man, they rode their newfound mass appeal for all it was worth. Branding themselves as the good guy studio, incessantly felating gamers, nonstop promotion, Keanu fricking Reaves. I don't even think their leadership even understands programming nor realized how far behind their technical capabilities were relative to the competition. But they kept drumming up the hype machine anyway. Manufactured the most anticipated title they were never going to live up to. And every gamer fricking fell for it because they're all a bunch of idiots who don't know what programming is either. And now everyone is angry and vindictive because they fell for a marketing company's unobtainable promises.
I've only watched a Night City Wire episode last year and it was really infuriating how much bullshit they spewed in those.
no, that's entirely on you for falling for hype.
hype culture was a mistake, and even a board like Ganker can't cope with it.
i had no expectations for cyberpunk and thought it was a good game (on pc, obviously).
Me? I've hated CDPR since 2015. And they're entirely culpable. What other companies exacerbates and indulges in the hype like they do?
Only person that comes to mind is Peter Molyneux. People who say Todd is the supreme liar definitely haven't seen this guy in action.
hate them but they clearly played the game as the pure corpos they are
Todd is trying to make the game run above 15 fps on the Series S.
who gives a shit about this game? it looks generic as it gets for something set in space. this is a waste of time when they might as well just make ESVI and fallout 5 since this game won't make even a quarter of what those games would make
I care about Todd Howard's magnum opus
Everyone cares about TESVI, we're talking about Starfield.
TES is a dead horse, everyone expects it to be a generic, dumbed down version of Hammerfell and High Rock lore
Obligatory.
Most of this is on point but the excuses for Todd at the E3 reveal are a bit delusional. Todd has accepted his and Bethesda's role in disappointing people with 76, apologists are going to have to accept he's not perfect.
And its just reskinner skyrim
Was that the institute laser rifle in the trailer? So fricking lazy.
