Jason Schreier: Starfield is nowhere near done

They released games for Xbox 1 in the build up to the new gen. The had a beta for Grounded released and a few days later claimed Halo is delayed, Battletoads was in August before the new console. Like fucking move Grounded and Battletoads to day 1 Series X, first and Xbox 1 three months later. Tell me Why was released after Halo was cancelled and before November. Give the new console something new and exclusive. How some cunts there never got sacked for the piss poor first party efforts breaks me. @Bo_Hazem or @Bryank75 are huge Sony supporters and they couldn't actively fuck up MS's launch as bad if they tried.
I don't think Spencer or Nadella truly care about games and the kinds of experiences you can get out of them. If they did, the Xbox library would look different right now. That's why The Xbox started out as a killer platform with the OG system and the 360. It was helmed by people who loved and understood the games, and that was a GREAT time period for the platform. They also wanted performance, performance, performance.

Then the One released, under different leadership, and they said TV, TV, TV.

Anyway, Nadella cares about software subscriptions no matter where they are. He doesn't care about any individual games. I guarantee you the whole GP thing is a directive from him, to try and ape the success Office365 has achieved in that space. And Phil probably looks at success as increasing key metrics. Not profitability (MS as a whole is incredibly profitable so why does he care), nor quality of content (he thought the SX showcase was looking good before gamers saw it).

This isn't a knock on Xbox. I loved the Xbox platform for Xbox 1 and 360. It felt like something fresh, a PC-light experience for console gamers. And it got taken over by dweebs who don't get it IMO.

I'm hoping for an eventual return to winning ways for the group and for the games they produce.
 
I mean......how many times have people posted smoke on here about 1 or 2 shit screenshots. My guess is the Microsoft acquisition gave them a larger window to go back to the drawing board and make sure it's a new home run exclusive. Otherwise it's more covid 19 fakery excuses.

MS hasn't produced a new home run on their own in a long time that's one reason they had to go buy Bethesda.
 
I mean, are Bethesda games ever really done?

All i see is a dragon that's got some sick moves. You jealous?

I am still amused that if you managed to grant magic immunity to both your character and your follower via crafting, then you would become invalid targets to a non-scripted flying dragon. The dragon would fly around a bit, never try to land, then goes away. I guess one could argue that it makes sense in a lore perspective, that a dragon who detected someone with godly gear would just fuck off, but it still is silly that this happens.
 
well MS buying bethesda might be due to try cover loop hole in release schedule while their own others studio can finished their game. but it end up bethesda also not quite ready yet to fill those hole.

I kinda figured this. The early 2022 talk just seems odd to me. Or 2021? There's nothing about this game released, and it's a totally new ip. I'm guess it'll be 2 years

If Bethesda was close to releasing a AAA game, they would NOT have sold themselves to Microsoft. They would have released the new IP first, THEN sell, because that new IP would raise the value of the company.
 
Who would've thought....


I can't believe XBox's first party dev was THIS bad. Beth is literally going to save the XBox division, but they are still a year away, at least, from having a consistent 1st party output...

343 better deliver with Halo (for my benefit too, lol) to hold the line for a while.

Not sure how much I would bet on that.
 
It will just be a fallout in space, when fallout is already just a elder scrolls game in a wasteland. Including all the jank and bugs their games are known for, cause it still will run on their shoddy engine.

Nothing lost for me if it isn't coming out in 2021. If it turns out great I will be happy to try it out, but so far Howards games never clicked with me.
 
Schreier is a joyless motherfucker, could somehow suck air out of a vacuum. He must be a treat at parties. They're games. You know, for enjoyment. He carries on like he's writing about Israel Palestine, or a flesh eating virus that targets the genitals.

Why is everyone so hype?

Because when Bethesda gets it right, they fuckin get it RIGHT.

Skyrim was god tier. Oblivion was god tier. Fallout 3 was amazing. Fallout 4 was damn good.

But they also have the potential to make absolute garbage. Fallout 76. Blades. And of course, the patent-pending Bethesda JANK.

I dont have an xbox, and dont plan on getting one either. Neither do I have a pc that can run this.

So I'm hoping xcloud doesnt suck shit for me.

I think the game WET that they made might possibly be the worst game I owned on my PS3

But Bethesda hasn't gotten it right since forever. Fallout 4 was hot trash compared to new Vegas and 3.

Even if starfield was coming to PlayStation I wouldn't care. Bethesda is like Blizzard and BioWare and Rare. Once great developers who have lost their way and are a shadow of their former selves.

Personally thought FO4 was great.

Skyrim is their masterpiece tho.
 
Yeah, why then he so proudly announced Everwild, Fable and Perfect Dark last year. :/
yeah I dont get why people say that. It's a blatant lie. Microsoft have revealed games years before they were out. Most of the series entire lineup are games that barely exist and are still in early development.
 
Simple logic, folks. Anything coming out this year would've been shown last year.

Yeah... that's kinda how it works. So anyone expecting Forza this year is in for a rude awakening. That pretty much means only Halo. 343i was the only team ready to show anything last year. You buried them for it, but they're the only ones with a realistic 2021 release date.

For comparison, all big PS5 games coming this year were shown last year. Developers aren't magicians.

Not surprised in the slightest. Game is "supposedly" coming out this year from what I heard, yet we barely even know what the game is or even saw a screenshot of it? I'm calling late 2022 to early 2023.

So I guess Covid affected every developer except Sony's developers...
Yeah but don't forget MS were waiting on AMD for full RDNA2 specs. According to fanboy logic they only completed the silicon in May 2020. Also brand new SDK and waiting on tools. So it's plain obvious MS and their teams where badly affected. That's why their games reveal was a CGI borefest.
 
At least he's given somethign concrete now to be judged on. He's said it will be teased and a release date of late 2022 will be shown. That's all we ask from these tweets, so we can go back and see if he was right or wrong.
 
I'm kind of laughing at all the people blaming Schreier for leaking this before the event. It was the WaPo's fuck up and the guy is just doing his job by reporting news.

Feels like Washington Post is a big enough publication to actually not know how much this trailer means for the Xbox+Bethesda E3 showcase. It could easily be the closing trailer, unless they have a lot more we don't know about.

Shitty practice by Washington Post IMO
 
.... they can't lie about that stuff. it opens them up to lawsuits. if it wasn't in-game they wouldn't label it as such.
How old are you? Marketing PR lie all the time. We just had a huge problem with Sony just last week smh...

And Bethesda was only for sale because they stuggled to live up to their own legacy. Skyrim was remastered over and over because they couldn't make something better.

Also, people think that only MS was interested in them, 2020 began with Rumors that SONY is going to buy Bethesda for 5.5 Billion $$$s...

Obviously MS ...
O V E R P A I D ... ROFL ... so much for 5 xbox fanboys claiming that Tod only talks about games when they are near completion.. and its coming out this year...

Just another notch solidifying Bezos's shitty publication.

PR doesn't lie. Again, straight-up lying leads to easy lawsuits. What marketing does is find "creative" ways of telling the truth while often being slightly misleading without being technically untrue.

If this wasn't an actual in-game capture, they would have called it in-engine instead - because that's the misleading thing to do.

Believe what you want, but until I see actual gameplay it's all bullshit!
