If you release a game for the XB1X right now when 10 people own the console you will only have 10 sales max. Better to wait in my opinion.

So it’s called Fallout 76 and will likely not take place in Philly? That just seems weird.

Fallout is more popular than ever

Star Wars, Fallout, Avengers etc. are so big that they have their own gravity. They will make money and grow simply as the world population expands whether they are good or not, old or new formula. Changing things up a bit doesn’t have to be a reactionary thing to losing consumers but can be a response to a growing fan base and wanting to be on the cutting edge of the industry.

76 refers to the amount of platforms it will be released on ovee the next 10 years

It's also the number of patches/mods it needs to be playable

When Bethesda announced Fallout: 76 with a teaser trailer this morning, promising more information at E3, it was easy to assume that the new game would be a traditional single-player role-playing game. But Fallout: 76 is in fact an online survival RPG that’s heavily inspired by games like DayZ and Rust, according to three people familiar with the project.

Why is every prime X1X game delayed so much? Sea of Thieves took like 3 years to finally get a release after like probably 5 of development. Scalebound was also pushed a long time until it finally died on the road.

State of decay 2 just launched with only one or two major new features after 5 years of dev wasted switching engines.

Ms is real bad at managing studios both internal and external.

So, this new Fallout thing is some kind of online game? Wasn't Bethesda the studio that was saying just a little while ago how committed they are to single-player? What happened to that?

Why would Anthem be f2p when they can charge full price for it and go full loot box? It is EA, after all :)

I think there's kind of a big difference between saying "We're gonna save single-player guys :downs:" when you already have a MMO going, versus saying that and then less then six months later announcing that the next entry to one of your biggest franchises is going to be online-only.

Andromeda was their former dlc content farm being given a budget and wasting it all for 2 years, throwing everything away and getting worked like slaves for 15 months to turn something out.

I guarantee you that Anthem will not have any gameplay-related lootboxes, possibly none at all.

Bethesda doesn't develop Elder Scrolls Online, they only publish it. ESO is mostly a Zenimax joint.

Just out of curiosity, what are you basing this on? EA specifically said, earlier this month, that they’re going to continue putting loot boxes in their games, so I’m not sure why you would think this?

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

At least Destiny 2 has the pedigree of Bungie having never changed the shooting mechanics since old Halo so it still feels good even with all the dumb poo poo they've done surrounding that game. Who's buying BioWare games because of the shooting mechanics?

Anyway South Korea leaked that Borderlands is getting a remaster for PS4 and Xbox One.

It's hosed up that Borderlands 2 was bundled with the terrible Pre-Sequel game instead of the original.

2 and PS share the same engine, 1 was based on a much older and clunkier iteration of Unreal. So it was easy to port those two together and took until now to port 1.

They very publicly announced that their next Battlefield game wouldn't have gameplay-related microtransactions of any kind during its reveal, with veiled reference to the lootbox scandal and I'm pretty sure Battlefront 2 and the legislative response towards it has them running scared.

I had a great time with Borderlands 2, and just starded pre-sequel. It seems okay so far, but i'm very early in the game. What's wrong with it?

Not much for level variety. Mostly just moonscape.
