He won't even save Bethesda.
Considering TESVI was already in the making through Starfi
eld, there is a 100% it is going to be shit. They are delusional about their games quality.
Yes. Just like he saved Xbox with Starfield.
Todd legitimately crushed my soul with Starfield. I'm no longer excited for any future releases. Literally 0 interest. Not even Obsidian or InXile's games look good to me anymore.
I won't allow myself to be hurt like this again.
How did you not lose interest after Fallout 4.......
Fallout 4 had proper level design, and a solid gameplay loop. Even features like base building were worth dipping your toes in. It's a decent open world looter shooter.
Jesus Christ
pick up that can!
I agree. The story in FO4 was terrible, but I put more time into that game than any previous installment or Skyrim. It was definitely the best shooter out of them all. Aside from the story the other downfalls were the map was kinda boring and I'd rather fight humans than robots, ghouls, or insects. Also, the leveling up was gay and the weapons were kinda stupid.
>the map was kinda boring and I'd rather fight humans than robots, ghouls, or insects. Also, the leveling up was gay and the weapons were kinda stupid.
then wtf was fun about the game lmfao
Anyone who says bullshit like
is just beating around the bush until someone starts posting about coom mods in these threads. You can start now lads, we all know the only reason you play Bethesda RPGs is to coom.
Fallout 4 wasn't a good RPG, but it was a great game.
I feel the same it's a well made game but boring as frick with shit Rpg mechanics. Say what you will about Fallout 4 but it's not as sterile and bland as Starfield. Starfield has no edge, blood, or gore I'm not even sure why it's rated M anyway.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhh
>after Fallout 76....
>after Fallout 4....
>after Skyrim....
>after Fallout 3....
>after Oblivion....
How did you not lose interest after oblivion?
Fallout 4 was a good game though
I stopped buying after I saw 4 and I haven't bought a game from them since other than Doom Eternal and even that was a mistake.
Everything Bethesda touches turns to shit. People are absolutely fooling themselves if they think ES6 will be good. I doubt it'll even be functional come release.
The story was dogshit but survival mode is honesty pretty excellent. Worth a shot if you mod out the awful dialogue system and voiced protagonist.
I'd rather play stalker at that point
I stopped getting hyped over video games after Spore.
im sorry anon, he is washed up
he never recovered from this mogging
>nominate Starfield to an award you know it won't win to force Todd to attend the event
>invite Sean Murray and give him time to promote No Man's Skyrim on stage
>after sales for NMS skyrocketed after the Starfield fiasco
Geoff is truly devilish
Serious question: has Todd ever been in a picture with someone shorter than him?
>Make like 4 dogshit games in a row
>"Is he going to save videogames."
kek, no idea how.
the ultimate fantasy-world simulator sounds cool.
Yeah, let's just pretend he didn't also say that Starfield was going to be "the Biggest Most Epic Science Fiction Thing You Could Possibly Imagine"
Stop trusting this PR guy already
anon, skyrim IS the ultimate fantasy world simulator (if modded)
The guy has made a career about lying, anon.
Post three things he lied about.
?si=W5-yTLI972NpF9Nn
Buckle up
Making things sound cool isn't lying.
>daggerfall style radiant quests again
It's over
i just want morrowind but with more modern graphics and presentation.
ok scratch the modern presentation, morrowind's presentation was pure soul.
Todd will leave Bethesda in 2 or 3 years. Now that Starfield was a frick-up the heads at MS will drag him into meetings and try to hold him accountable. He'll gain 30 pounds in 2024 and look visibly burnt out in interviews and then decide to quit after Bethesda's next high-profile fiasco.
Trust me. This happens every time.
At this point I hope he fricking quits today. I don't like Todd anymore. He's a piece of shit egotistical loser with terrible ideas. He should've stayed in the chess club.
He is the only non-troony relevant game director the USA has. If he leaves it's over.
Alarm bells should have rang when he started spouting about how great procedural generation is
I still like todd, seems like a nice guy when he's not pushing his bullshit lies, but he really should retire at this point, TES6 will be the same slop that the last games were and the general public is tired of the bethesda gameplay formula, lack of polish, and poor writing.
He should take Emil out with him too. Also fire all the women, and hire white and asian men.
Emil will be promoted and take over Todd's role after Todd's gone. You know this to be true.
>Todds last game ever
>his swansong

Writing: on the wall
Proof: in the pudding
Todd: about to hit the home run
>the procedural stuff in starfield was just a test so he can implement it even better in TeS VI so he can huge swaths of nature between hand made locations
I'd get so pissed if it was just Hammerfell, but like 2x bigger than Skyrim.
I want at least High Rock and Hammerfell totaling up to 6 Skyrims
tamriel is basically given since they can generate huge land without any effort, it is great for marketing and hype, and if its actually good it will be impressive
>kirkbride in underwear

I've seen it all
all his good employees left, died or got fired
no
..died?
their lead artist from fo3 and then one of their better quest designers more recently

>you have to run straight for 5 mins to reach the next town

he betrayed us
TODD????
>Charleston White approaches
No, I think it's game over.
Bethesda always made shit games. Morrowind was an accident, an accident that was only good because of how shit the rest of their games were.
>boomer homies still trying to gaslight anons into believing morrowind was the GOAT game and not just a poor man's Skyrim
lmao
zoomers suck at everything they do. Can't even do basic trolling
What is the probability of AI stuff getting added to TES6?
100%
It's guaranteed. You think they developed and put many hours and money into developing it just for Starfield?
Yes, because he will make the game so bad it will completely kill WRPGs and bring back the golden age of JRPGs
Nope
Many people would just ignore rpgs. Death of the genre. Which in all actuality would probably be a good thing.
A game being bad does not make another bad game increase in quality, it stays the same
as much as starfield did
The only thing that can save the industry is having more good games. That means games have to be more polished and less buggy with better game design. They cannot have 7 year development times with budgets in the 100's of millions. The only way they can do that is reducing graphics. People may not like it, but those are the same normies on websites making comments like they feel that the PS5 generation did not even start. You cannot have it both ways. Something has to give.
>ps5 "exclusives" and non cross gen games are finally coming out
>ps4 games that got PS5 patches look better than them
this just shows you how quickly things have gone to shit.
Exactly! It is going to get worse. There is a reason about all this talk of everything going multiplat. Fanboys of all platforms are mad that there is no exclusives. These companies cannot afford to make these exclusives. The PS2 era had so many platform exclusives because the budgets were way lower and quicker to make. Even PC versions were different than consoles. People are too stupid to understand it.
>buy a dev studio
>It takes 8 years and 300.000.000 dollars to make and release a single game
What's the point anymore?
Why did Microsoft do this?
What's with this meme that starfield took upwards of 100 millies to come to fruition? Is everyone just gobbling up some rando's hyperbole?
More like $200M+
https://exputer.com/news/games/starfield-200-million-budget-500-devs/
The TES and Fallout IPs are rather lucrative. Fallout 76 alone is making good money, funnily enough.
He's just a business guy now. Their teams are huge, the budgets are massive, and the vision has faded. The only way Bethesda gets back on track is motivated leadership with a united creative vision.
Neither Bethesda nor Bioware are relevant anymore. Now it's Larian and FromSoft that the whole world is looking up to.
guess we'll have to wait and see. but if the characters look like ps3 characters then i'll fricking freak, i'll tell you that right now. people love saying content over grafx, but come on, bruh....

When Oblivion came out in early 2006, loading screens weren't much of a big deal because lots of games had loading screens. But in 2024, it is completely unacceptable for Starfield to have so many loading screens everywhere.
Go back and play Oblivion. You walk up to a city and there is a gate to get in. You press A to open the gate. The gate cracks open an inch and then *loading*. After the loading screen, you magically appear on the other side of the gate, inside the city. You walk up to a small house. You press A on the door. The door cracks open an inch and then *loading*. After the loading screen, you magically appear on the other side of the door, inside the house. There are three rooms and stairs leading up. There is a door at the top of the stairs. You press A on the door, etc. Oblivion's loading screens might not have been a big deal in 2006, but those loading screens are rage inducing in 2024.
Starfield failed to capture its target audience for a variety of fundamental issues and in large part due to the loading screens.
Also there's a big difference that makes Starfield loading screens more noticeable in comparison to their last games: the open world.
In Starfield you're basically forced to fast travel and go in and out your ship a lot. You're barely outside walking around. That's the opposite of TES and Fallout where you could spend dozens of minutes outside before finally deciding to enter something and explore it where you'd also spent half an hour doing things. That spaces out the loadings and the spike on their appearance are on cities where you're wasting little time inside.
i dont play starfield. how long were the loading? also ur on hdd or ssd?
Todd isn't Miyazaki. He isn't a creative genius who singlehandedly created an entire genre and wrote the entire plot and lore of his games. Todd is a man manager
Holy shit how small is this man? A troony, and even a Jap are taller.
Anon learns that short people exist
maybe miyazaki is particularly tall for a jap?
better brain to body ratio, allows for maximizing video game creation, praise Todd. HE WILL REBOUND ! I BELIEVE !!
>better brain to body ratio
That's one of the funnier manlet copes I've seen.
t. manlet
What's the point in saying a troony is taller? Spherehunter is literally a man.
> Created an entire genre? Which genre?
Soulslikes
>action rpgs where you dodge attacks was as a concept invented by from
no
> Oh those fromslop games are a "genre" now, character action games never existed before him, oh wise miyazaki created a genre by adding XP points to boost characters attributes and buy items with! SUCH A BRILLIANT GENIUS! HE ALSO SLOWED DOWN COMBAT TO A HALT!
> Also added dodge rolls.
creative genius lol. for the vast majority of miyazaki's life, he was directly involved in the creation of the games he worked on, but they just didn't become particularly great successes. he and the others on his team finally struck gold with their get gud scrub formula and here we are. nothing genius about it.
no.
you think a rpg released close to 2030 where the gameplay is you swinging foamsticks at bullet sponge enemies with 0 feedback will be anywhere close to saving gaming?
the toddler cant make a good game
even fraudeo hackjima makes better games
Starfield killed all my hype
After starslop i will never buy another bethesda game ever again
bros I can't have TES VI be shit. I've been waiting for 12 years already. Why is it so hard for these homosexuals to just make a good game
Bethesda had their time in the limelight. It passed and will never come back again.
TES was dead as soon as they made that MMO.
Bethesda's time is over. The things that made Skyrim popular are no longer impressive to the market. So all they have left is an outdated engine, untalented writers, a persistent lack of creativity, and Indian programmers.
>and Indian programmers.
Deleting /misc/ would do so much good. It would teach morons like you not to believe everything you read. Look at Skyrim before modders saved it, it has nothing to do with India, Bethesda has always had horrible programming.
Only if the game has infinite dungeon crawl like Daggerfall. Just need Fallout 4 weapon and armor loot but improved. And bring back teleportation.
I'm still trying to recover from him saving gaming with starfield. Give me a fricking break before saving it again
m8 it's fricking over. It's not only a matter of the industry being corrupted, but the people themselves lack the skills to create greatness. The whole thing is in the midst of a collapse and reset, and as a result the most soul you're going to find rn is in 2D/2.5D indie games in which devs are literally re-learning how to make games again.
Yes, Todd Howard is the only hope for the West.
I have more hope in chinese cement than Todd.
He will run every franchise in the ground just like Jobs.
Genius: Wozniak
moron: Steve
Toddy is just a face and marketer. Michael Kirkbride, now that guy was a genius. Why did they fire him?
>Steve Jobs jobs
>Todd Howard howards (??)
I think he'll be fine
Kirkbride went on to write for Immortals of Aveum™, so I don't know about muh genius and shiet.
At the very least, shroom tripping ideas guys need tard wranglers slash boardroom charmers like Todd to make the magic of good vidya happen, like it or not.

>I don't ever hate diversity hires. I absolutely pity them for being abused by big tech. They have no skill and they know it, but the money..
If someone told you to pilot a 747 right now for 200k, would you do it? Or would you acknowledge your incompetence and prevent a tragedy from happening?
If they know they're incompetent and still take the job anyways, they're guilty of negligent behaviour
actually i have no hopes for tes vi.
instead i'm rooting for tes vii: summerset, the final game in the tes series where they return their focus to story-telling and world-building, moving their syle from epic to quaint, their play from action to exploration, and providing again more freedom to the player. that would be nice to experience as a reminder of the days of wonder by the time that i'm 55.
BBCFELL
you know what the problem is. he knows what the problem is. he know you know what the problem is. yet he'll never fix it nor does he have the power to fix it. i know you all will just call me /misc/ gays, but you know what the problem is
Just pointing out that these diverse drones just are hires to lure in customers. They are cattle and corpos pretends to care for them. I don't ever hate diversity hires. I absolutely pity them for being abused by big tech. They have no skill and they know it, but the money..
they have a fricking role in the game development, and the fact that they have no skill makes their part in the game sucks. and when they have a huge role in some part of the game, it fricking ruins the whole thing. story writing, character model, game mechanic. this b***h for example
>and the fact that they have no skill makes their part in the game sucks
No anon, the game sucks because your dad's generation born 1960 is retiring. Those were the OGs that made what you consider a game.
Modern gaming is rehashing old tropes, lack of innovation is compensated by RTX and diverse faces. We are putting the people that knew how to do it into nursing homes.
todays generation of men, while regressed a bit from previous due to global homosexualry, are still capable of creating a great game. i believe the studio that makes atomic heart will be able to make a fricking kino in the future. that game is their first, and after they learned their mistakes, theyll make good shit, like valve.
sony and microsoft are limiting their talent with women and third worlder employee. japanese studios are regressing too bcs they're following west homosexualry culture and policy
Whenever I hear /misc/lacks talk they sound like a broken record.
Retiring dad generation is the cause. Not even often hated zoomers play this garbage. Many modern games just bomb and have sub 1000 players 1 month later.
kys
what a compelling argument, you first, buddy
I do not deny it.
Great games are made exlusively by autistic white and asian men (and the occasional tomboy woman).
I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.
They survived for 20 years on their trademark Bethesda jank, but the jig is finally up. "Ironically bad" is no longer a viable strategy for a AAA game.
they are not "ironically" bad. they are just aware their customers are stupid. A papyrus engine that has a limited amount of operations per second, does not support multicore and can crash? Their entire game relies on it. It is the oldest part of the engine, they only ever update graphics with godrays, rtx and vr slop.
Idiots live for the spectacle!
Only if the Imperials canon defeat the Stormcloaks.
I too love the Antichrist.
is he really saving it when hes cleaning up the mess he made?
no, GTA VI is what will either kill or save the industry.
elder scrolls vi will save Bethesda's reputation
>people talking about using procgen to fill the gaps so they can do all of tamriel
>implying Bethesda can manage to handmake poor facsimiles of enough cities to even cover the capitol of every province
"All of Tamriel" sounds like a great way to reach a new low in unbelievably small cities.
Elder Scrolls: Arena is as good as "all of Tamriel" can get, and considering current day Bethesda, it'd be just as shitty but with marginally fancier graphics
He saved it with Starfield, but it's not a game for social media and dopamine fried kids and man children. TES VI will probably fix that though, so yes.
Todd will die in our lifetime, and that'll be based.
He will save the game industry like a fresh wet turd saves the majestic sheen of porcelain. Wow thats poetic 😮
I don't think Bethesda has any capability to make a new Elder Scrolls game and actually have it be enjoyable or interesting considering how Starfield ended up. Generated levels and dungeons, RPG mechanics that fricking suck or are terribly balanced, load screens up the ass, characters that are just blatantly uninteresting.
No, I don't think Todd is saving shit. Morrowind is the only Bethesda game I played that I liked.
Skyrim 2 will be the best game of all time.
Haters are gonna hate like always, but the success will be there.
