Starfield has done great. Tons of gamers. Already hit 10M in 3 weeks. As for sales, of course it wont chart high as it's on GP. Tons of xbox and PC subbers grab it off the sub plan.
Hopefully blizzard finally gets put to sleep.
Ah, but if the world is even more fucked up, then my gaming and escapism will be even more important than ever.
You do, my daughters account is set like this. It admittedly impacts matchmaking times in many games though, so it isn't free lunch.
The world is more hardy than we think as is the human race, we will adapt. The world is definitely on the wrong path but it will take a century atleast for it to get to alarming levels. That being said with Microsoft I see them strongarming next gen unless by some miracle regulators get some actual backing and power back or Microsoft loses interest in phils project and pulls a nokia.
Not to mention, if you had any interest in Spyro, Crash, THPS or the older CoDs, you would have bought them already considering they are always on sale for £10-£20.
That's immediately what I was thinking too. But Oblivion is running on Gamebryo engine rather than Creation. No professional coder or anything but I spent a couple of years modding Skyrim and understanding how all the scripting and cells work and cant begin to imagine how you'd get all the script code working in something as different as UE5. But Gamebryo may well be more straight forward....Wait......Bethesda couldn't bother with a new engine for Starfield, but Oblivion and Fallout 3 get UE5????
More importantly, does this mean their is hope for Elder Scrolls VI?Wait......Bethesda couldn't bother with a new engine for Starfield, but Oblivion and Fallout 3 get UE5????

The advert does specifically say "upon close", so they aren't being arrogant in counting their chickens IMO. Just probably thinking the process should conclude because of the Undertakings In lieu that they've offered the CMA, and getting the job listings done early because interviewing is a timeline process, and could still not be completed even if the new feedback leads this merger to a phase 2 for the Ex-Cloud in the new year..oopsie, putting out career entries for Activision already.
Wait a few more weeks y'all.
The 'remasters' are supposedly going to be UE5 based, it's not exactly the same thing though
I agree, I wasn't being for real
Sure, but just imagine a departure away from Creation and all of its limitations and quirks. I'm still not sure how open world's really do with UE5. But even after special editions etc with Skyrim & Creation its still fairly easy to make it fall over and crash. I can go to certain spots in skyrim equipped with certain spells in vanilla and make it crash to this day. Thats, what on an enhanced/special 64bit version with none of the originals RAM limitations, a version 10 or 11 years on from the original release of 2011 and its still unstable, with bugs. Getting Oblivion into UE5 could be excellent and if what Adams Apple says is true, could lead onto something brilliant. I doubt it'll be as mod friendly, but who knows what mod tools they could potentially provide. Its all if, buts and maybe. But its potentially great if they extended beyond Gambryo and onto Creation stuff too.
Yeah, as a player I'm more than happy for Bethesda to be doing an official remake in a new engine. Just saying it sucks for those people working on Skyrim is all. You'd think if it was at all planned by Bethesda they'd give these dedicated fans a heads-up and maybe some involvement in it! I don;t know maybe they have ...
Diablo 4 player count is supposedly down 99% so even people who actually paid for it and can play it forever is they felt like it aren't still around. The GP people will bounce off it after they finish the main story, if they even get that far, and never come back.
Borrowed time. They know it. So do their fans. You can smell the fear....its in just about every thread on Gaf.
It was more like 18months prior to PS3 IIRC, but had Microsoft not had a strategy to overclock to match the PS3 clock resulting in RRoD by pushing beyond what their own testing showed it could handle before the overclock, and if the Wii hadn't disrupted the market at a perfect time for PS3, giving it time to come through yield and blue diode scarcity issues and get some good games out, it could easily have killed it.
Yeah amazing possibility isnt it. The limited knowledge I gained modding Skyrim. Was enough to become fascinated with how the world "ticks". Its like a massive clockwork world. It does cull a lot of objects within set time periods, they're just set very long. And it also contains them within each of its own separate cells (the many areas it breaks the world up into). So you have part of it triggered by a time period but also whether the player leaves and re-enters a cell can trigger some of it too. But its the scripting which truly fascinates me. So many things move and act due to the scripts constantly running. Which is why I think the games can end up feeling so immersive - somethings really are constantly moving which you may not even know about. When an NPC decides to meet you somewhere, they usually are actually walking the entire journey. Like I say its very much like an intricate time piece or clockwork world running.
They won’t have to wait long - He will tell all in his upcoming book anyway …
