Luke, in all honesty i think they way you look at it is wrong.
Expecting to "capitalize" on the tv show seems more like a marketing move, i mean, pushing a new fallout game based on trends its forceful... what kind of game would they give us?, if they sole purpose of a "new fallout" its just to take advantage of the fame of the show.
I see games as art not as product, and when games are made for a product they usually lack in substance, creativity.
Chinese Spyware!
3 minute ad is rough
Pip boy is best os
No thanks, Chinese Bloat-/Spyware
Whenever Todd Howard is interviewed gamers need to realize that when he talks he’s not talking to gamers… he’s talking to investors.
100% That's why they will always pivot to 76 & ESO during interviews. The return on live service is far more appealing than the return on a standard AAA title.
Preach 😩🙏
boom. leave todd alone. he's never going to recover from starfield and he clearly wasn't expecting the fallout series to be this good as he was in investor land trying to secure his retirement island.
He's talking to the interviewer dude duh
I swear, if Bethesda comes out with a Starfield DLC that revamps the entire game like No Mans Sky, I will eat my mousepad
Nah they will first Sell 5 different remasters until they bring a revamped version the next 8 years.
Ordering a hard candy mousepad in advance.... For jussssst incase
They won’t
I know it isn't possible but don't make promises you can't keep.
Never gonna happen
Todd Howard is the last person I wanna hear from about quality in games lmao
Tell me sweet little lies Tod
Lmao I hate to see what he thinks of gameplay.
Its like Jason Todd telling Batman on how to not kill people.
😅
Well he’s a GOTY man so 😂
Every time I hear Todd say “High Quality” my eyes roll out of my head
You should go see a doctor about that
Sixteen times the detail!!!
@@danielt91
There are mountains...
And you can climb them.
I think when he says that he means he wants to be careful since starfield was doodoo
If by "High Quality" mean bloated, unoptimized texture that hit performance, then yes. Yes it is.
We'll have a nuclear wasteland in real life before we get Fallout 5
Or Elder Scrolls 6
Lets hope so
Imagine if Godd Howard nuked the entire world to make fallout 5 IRL. No need for new engine 😆
It’s gonna come out that the ultra wide support was implemented and nobody at the studio actually had an ultra wide monitor to test it with 😂
I think you nailed it. 😂😂
I don't remember the exact quote but someone said that "Bethesda is a big company that thinks it's a small company with the mentality that "oh that worked in the 90s so we'll keep doing it." Something like that and it fits so well.
Nakey jakey video
The best comparison I heard was Bethesda is like the Fairground. The fair comes to town, you go along and are distracted by all the sounds, the sights, the rides and smell of the hotdogs etc etc then when you leave you realise its the same as last year, the buns were stale and the stitching is already coming apart on the overpriced bear you won. Fallout and TES have so much potential but It often falls flat with Bethesda and the more you look through the game the more you start to see how lazy the team really are
@@velvetinedrapes4359 I like both analogies, like it fits so well.
@@velvetinedrapes4359that's an amazing way of putting it!
You'll especially notice these things when you play early games in the franchises.
When I first played Skyrim, I was amazed at the world and how much lore it had.
Then I started Morrowind and realized I was mainly impressed by Skyrim's scale, not it's quality or cohesion.
"16 times the quality" - Todd Howard after Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Starfield, 2024.
Bro don't disrespect fallout 4 like that
Hey now. Don't be attacking my boy Fallout 4 like that 😂
He never specified that it was actually 16 times DIVISION of quality
@@FakeAdirTVFo4 ain't that great, just better than what came after it
@@thegreat7878 As an rpg. Yeah, I agree that it sucks, but as a loot and shoot, it's actually quite fun, though it's more like junkfood fun
Disney screwed up yet another Live Action by not casting him as Pinocchio . But they can still redeem themselves with him as Scrooge McDuck .
Ironically, scrooge is actually the epitome of redemption in Disney and even taught the ducklings to be philantrophic
@@silentlore2458
Sounds like the origin of the Rothschilds, minus the redemption part.
What about him as Goofy? Ella Purnell aka Lucy wanted her character to be the Ned Flanders of Fallout and succeeded, now i think it's time that we get Goofy of Reallife.
*AND THUS THE outstanding AND MAGNIFICIENT CREATION OF A CHARACTER WAS BORN: TOODY GOOFARD!*
Tell me lies... tell me sweet little lies Todd.
Todd is a person who is COMPLETELY untrustworthy.
I would like Todd Howard to explain how Bethesda is going to update their massively antiquated game engine to keep it competitive with industry standard.
It'll be an omen if they switch to Unreal
Don't doubt Todd Howard
@@nikolasperez7745
Quantity over quality is a problem many studios fall for. But antiquated game engine is something really unique to Bethesda. They need to update it even if it diminishes the ability of modders to access it. Sure, it was great in 2011, but we're looking at a decade plus later with no meaningful improvement. That's not acceptable in any industry, especially not IT.
@@jfkst1 Yeah 2011 with Skyrim was the last time their tech felt up do date.
elders scrolls 6 will be on the same engine as their last game
So to summarize:
They basically released a PC version for the current gen consoles, that broke existing and essential quality of life improvements/mods.
This version is currently not even working properly on Xbox.
There is no HDR, no motion blur or new postprocessing (not even in the 30/40fps modes which is madness) no ray tracing, no graphical improvements, apart from minor tweaks to LOD, volumetrics, shadow resolution that PC version already had... Also, why is there a 30/40 fps mode in such an old game?
This game is almost 10 years old and Xbox and PS5 are still dropping frames to 50s.
According to some standards, we could easily call this game "retro" in just few months.
Ultrawide screen stretches HUD from 16:9 and simply zooms in the whole FOV - there is no proper widescreen support. (this is what mods fixed ages ago)
Locked to 60fps and if you unlock it, the game falls apart.
Now compare this "next gen" update to Witcher 3 real next gen update, which was also free, that shipped with perfect HDR, ray tracing and plethora of other visual improvements.
🤦
Almost as if CDPR is a studio that doesn't just see its fans as suckers to milk for every cent that they have
AH yes, that TW3 next gen update that had completely broken ray tracing that even top-end hardware could barely run. All the other improvements in the TW3 update were literally just Community made mods that CDPR packaged into one file. The weirdo BGS hate circle-jerk online loves to pretend that no other company has ever had problems in their games.
No no frames are not dropping to 50 it did that before the updated Boston was hell however the rest you mentioned are true that frame rate one from what I saw was actually improved.
@@EccentricMeatunless TW3 next gen actually worked, yes it did have issues, yes it was basically a mod pack packaged into an official update, because the game ultimately worked and still does. Not to mention it also actually looks like a 'next gen' title now
Oh yes, CDPR's "Next Gen" update, which was 80% made by Saber Interactive (people, who made the Switch port of W3), then taken from them unfinished because of current geopolitical situation, then was clogging inside CDPR for a damn year and only then was pushed out as broken mess. CDPR fanboys should really be ashamed of themselves.
What about Fallout 76, TODD? What about Starfield, TODD? Quality is the furthest thing from Bethesda's minds. I'm so done with AAA.
He's gotten so good at corporate-speak, I don't think he even has to thing about what he's saying anymore. The corporate word-vomit just flies from his gullet like he's on autopilot at this point. In his mind, his job is not to address the players; it's to address the shareholders. He knows damn well that BGS's products have not been of acceptable quality, but he just can't say that honestly without upsetting shareholders, which might potentially lose BGS a little bit of money on the stock market.
He should stop pretending to be someone who cares about the Fallout community, interacting with them, listening to them. He doesn't. He just wants to speak and be heard, not to listen.
Tf you mean 76? If you are talking about the launch sure, but it’s current reviews and player base give it very high praise.
@@Cardbo4rdb0xx but his claim is that quality is their top priority, when the launch of 76 outright contradicts that statement. The point is that regardless of the state it’s in now, that launch cannot be forgotten, and Todd’s statement on launching games with
Quality as the top priority is an outright lie.
Besides, even if 76 is acceptable now, that does not mean it’s become a great game. It really hasn’t. It’s still buggy, dated, looks like shit, feels like shit, and doesn’t give me the kind of experience that I want from a fallout title. It’s just not the abhorrent disaster that it was at launch.
The only real reason people still play it is because it’s the most recent/current fallout property available right now to scratch that itch.
@@Stickarms99 that was 6 years ago though. What if he understands now that they gotta lock in due to starfields bad reception
@@Stickarms99 and 76 just being acceptable is completely subjective, I’ve heard people say they like it more than 3 and 4
You can see the pain in Todds eyes when Greg said Fallout is bigger than ever thanks to the show.
That's rich, coming from Todd "It just works!" Howard
BGS needs to expand its studio and have specific dev teams for each IP
Yupppp
They tried that with 76... They will never try that again
They need to hire in some writing talent instead of using their 7-9 year old kids homework.
Or bring back kirkbride as writer
No! BGS has like thousand people right now O,o. Should just departmentalize the people they have into sub studios that work on their IPs. Heck Skyrim had what 200 ppl?
The thing is, a "Fallout 3: Remaster" would need to be on the level of a Bluepoint Games remake. If it's just another "Skyrim: Special Edition" situation, that just isn't going to cut it. And after seeing what Bethesda considers to be a, "next-gen update" (with the likes of Fallout 4), I have little faith in their abilities as a studio to deliver on that.
I just wonder how lazy it can be, if they even bother porting the FNV engine improvements, or leave the horribly janky game as is just with some touch ups like UI and textures.
Please log into games for windows live to play fallout 3 remake.
The fact that studios have gotten bigger and have more resources but can only make one game every 5 years now whereas back in the day the smaller studios were releasing multiple games every couple years
I can understand why games take so much longer now to make then they used to, but at the same time bethesda games sure as hell do not take that long. Its pretty baffling to try to figure out where the hell they spent all their dev time.
I mean This doesn't even make sense. They make multiple IPS. The only reason a studio like let's say insomniac or naughty dog can come out with a people so quickly cuz it's always a sequel.
The elder scrolls is not a sequel of fallout fallout is not a sequel of Starfield. So whenever they take the time to make a different franchise, that time will affect the next sequel for the franchise you want. Right now elder scrolls 6 is being developed. But after elder scrolls 6 is released elder scrolls 7 isn't going to get made because they will be busy making fallout 5.
Like this dude in the video claims that there hasn't been a fallout game in 19 years. That's not true. Fallout 76 came out in 2018. That's 6 years.
@@Grimjr7 he didnt say there wasnt a new fallout game in 19 years. Luke said the gap between 4 and 5 will be 19 years, at best. you could at least listen properly
To play devils advocate for a second, Coding a game back in the day vs. now is not even nearly the same thing tho. Couldn’t objectively compare that.
@@PlanetApathyyeah it was harder back in the day. Games aren’t harder to make now AAA games take so long because too much money is being poured into them so devs can’t make any changes or work on any part of the game without having approval from 17 layers of supervisors put into place to protect the massive invest that’s being made by the studio.
New Vegas was made in 18 months
No matter how many times I try to understand the situation, the frequency of BGS game output compared to the quality of those games is wildly out of sync. The math just doesn’t add up.
obsidian made new vegas in 18 months. It took bethesda 2 years to make a broken next gen patch.
My expectations for the Fallout 3 Next-Gen Remaster:
-basic edits so that it runs on current windows gens.
-nicer looking graphics
-a controversy that the nicer graphics are taken from modders without their permission or something
-a $70 price tag
lol not even iron sights
@@painkiller66 lol i actually keep forgetting (eventho i saw it in the video before posting) that base game doesnt have iron sights. Mods man...
My expectations would just be that they just make Fallout 3 in 4. I think there's already a mod team that's doing exactly that, like Fallout 4 New Vegas. I heard they got stopped by Bethesda sometime back tho, so I'm expecting it to be that and nothing more. Otherwise, I genuinely not only don't understand why it's taking so long to reveal, but why it would even exist to begin with at that point
You are very optimistic LoL.
I doubt there will much of anything other than AI upscaling technology that they`ll use to increase texture quality, more broken stuff, and paid mods or "Workshop" implementation.
By default I assume it's just a port of a bunch of FO3 mods with only the largest getting credit.
The "ultrawide support" literally just made it slightly unnecessary to go in and manually edit the .ini files. And we got this by breaking every single mod.
Todd Howard, worth it.
Todd is just a corporate chatbot with lungs and a pulse. He’s not engaged. Just repeats what management tells him to say.
Um, but he's management...
@@maerunderemite maybe they made him believe he's management? To make him a convenient fall guy? But if, by some mistake, he actually IS part of a high management, the only reasonable explanation that I can come up with on why Bethesda games always look and feel so dated, and how they simply cannot let go of that ancient engine of theirs, is that dude simply hates modern tech. After all, he is from a rotary phone and CRT TV era, and to some people that shit sticks like super glue.
"Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies" love that song. Oh Hi Todd.
didn't take the "we published" line as taking credit, more as "they did a good job and we stood behind it by publishing it."
I know, it was weird for Luke to put words in his mouth like that
That's what happens when someone obviously doesn't like bethesda and I'm definitely not saying not to criticize bethesdas releases but to take words and twist them to shit on the team and todd is just weird and I'm sorry but I'm sure they want every game to have no bugs and to suggest they don't care is stupid even the "best" game studios released games that are much linear and a lot less system that can break have been releasing broken you can't talk about something when your going into it with blind hatred because then you hear thing that someone says and twist into something that obviously meant something else. he even mentions in the interview that they have had issues with polish.
Exactly my thoughts, I saw it as more of “if I hated it, why would Bethesda publish it?”
because he never says anything along the lines of "they did a great job" or even denies the rumors that he 'hates' it.
@DABranche Todd said obsidian did an amazing and fantastic and incredible job with New Vagas in the clip he watched.
Todd Howard sat at the game awards pouting while Larian swept everything, and his big takeaway from that experience was, "tell gamers you care about quality".
The really crazy thing is, the next gen update for FO4 was announced in early 2023 and was slated to release “before the end of 2023.” Then they went radio silent until April 2024. Even after the quiet delay, they STILL released the update with multiple problems. Crazy.
In regards to a fallout 3 remaster. Unironically the best way to play FO3 is through Tale of Two Wastelands mod which lets you play FO3 in New Vegas. I highly doubt that will change with the remaster.
Probably, although I think the biggest upgrade for a Fallout 3 remaster will be the use of a 64bit client like Skyrim
@@dwagin6315 Actually yeah that's true. I don't know if that would be enough for some people. But for anyone who just wants to replay FO3, and hasn't been actively playing with mods, that will likely be big.
not gonna lie, though -- i found the installation process for ttw to be way too much of a chore, even as someone who does a considerable amount of modding, so i recently played a bit of fo3 with some very light modding (mostly just patches, stability, a little qol) and it was completely playable. i think you might have to be pretty seriously into these games to deal with ttw. (ultimately, i would rather just mod new vegas somewhat more extensively on its own.)
@@zenoslime Fair. For me I literally just had to click like 3 buttons and ttw installs itself. Just takes like 30mins to an hour to do it's thing. And I'm pretty sure most mods that you would think to get for just new vegas usually work with ttw, not sure though. Honestly installing the Begin Again modlist was probably some of the the easiest modding I have ever done. Only problem with that modlist specifically is that you can't choose to start in new vegas, which I think is pretty dumb.
At this point, I feel like BGS has lost almost of of their good reputation and it would be in Microsoft's best interest to put them under higher scrutiny.
I've honestly been wondering why they haven't. If I were Microsoft, I would be heavily adjusting timelines and expectations.
At this point I think it would be in Microsoft's best interests if they put BSG under about six feet of dirt...
Todd is so full of shit 😂
Yeah i thought all he can do is shit bullshit.
How dare you blaspheme the word of our lord Goat Howard
At this point i love him but i hate him...
Yeah, but you'll never look so cool as he does with a leather jacket.
ikr dude a sell out
The buzz from the Fallout show is gonna end in a week though lol
Let's be a bit more generous and give it a two. Generosity is a virtue, after all.
I never got it
If Todd Howard was to arrange a pizza party, the pizza would be store-brand pizza sauce and shredded cheese slapped on a tortilla.
Pepperoni DLC priced at $2.50
Friendly reminder than Toddler Howard is NOT a game dev on profession, he's a finances major, he's a salesman.
"Professional liar" isn't an official title, but in his case it should be.
Vault Tech Rep at its finest. Some would even dare say he's a Synth.
Todd Howard is a developer, just that the last game he really worked hands-on building was Morrowind.
But....they did retcon it? It takes place after New Vegas, the NCR was blown up over a decade before the show starts, and unless they moved the events of new Vegas to well before that bomb exploded there's not a whole lot of other ways it can be looked at other than a giant retcon.
Also it is absolutely insane to me how little Fallout shelter cares for the players time. I downloaded it after the show and I didn't remember that the game doesn't keep your phone unlocked when playing and you have to actively press the screen for it to remain open. Couple that with resources not piling up when you don't have it open for a while and it creates a loop of constantly needing to be staring at your phone for literally anything to function .how the fuck is this a game?
I was gonna ask that, as I dont intend to watch the show, but if they, as I heard, realocate Shady Sands so that it is now hundreds of miles further south then in NV, that is one hell of a retcon and kicks one of the two out of continuity: the show or the game NV. And all it took was Todd to say "yea, its a adoptation, like The Last of Us show" ... but he wasnt even able to do that little
It really baffles me that they don't let other studios work on their IPs more. New Vegas is widely considered the best in the series but they've never done anything like it sense. 20 years is far too long to be waiting for another entry in the series when it could be a gold mine. Imagine if they let studios make make their games in different genres, like an Xcom or RTS style Fallout, or a total war style Elder scrolls! That would be awesome, but instead we have to sit and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, just to end up with Starfield 🙃
There's a chance that after the way they screwed Obsidian over financially with F:NV, no one else wants to risk it xD
Money.
It's the same reason why they keep on rehashing the same ancient engine and won't hire a decent writing team: it would take a greater chunk of the profits.
If another studio is involved, that studio will want enough money to keep their own lights on.
Perhaps there's also a feeling that BGS will be compared (unfavourably) to whomever would get a chance to do something with the Fallout IP, just as they are with Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas.
Maybe it's precisely because NV is considered the best in the series. I'd easily bet money on the fact that if some other studio would take on a task of making TES game, there's a very good chance that it'd turn out a lot better than what Bethesda did, and that probably wouldn't take THAT much effort, since the quality bar isn't exactly set all that high.
@Wormswoods They didn't, it has been debunked over and over and over and yet people say it
Toddy boy saying that, the quality is always a priority. And that, is HIS TRUTH.
Todd, you truly are a lord and savior because you clearly leading a cult and not a company.
Obsidian had less than two years, and made a banger Fallout game. Imagine what they can do with 5+ years of development
Obsidian isn't the same studio it was when they made new vegas. Theres no guarantee a sequel from Obsidian would be anything better than the slop BGS puts out
This is like hearing a McDonalds manager saying that it's important to shoot for michelin stars
You mean theeir promo pics
Todd saying his team needs way more time to produce high quality content is like saying his team just really sucks and they need to get something figured out. (Smaller dev teams per game)
Starfield took eight years to make. I've seen nothing about Starfield to justify it taking nearly a decade to make. That's with Microsoft forcing a year long delay, too. They don't need more time, they need more competent management.
Yeah. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but it kind of felt like a really big fallout 4 mod.
@@Mirthful_Midori exactly!
Honestly I feel like they should fire their employees and hire modders. The modders seem to understand their engine better than the current developers.
So he's giving out refunds for Starfield when...?
I mean if you bought the game instead of just getting on Gamepass you deserve to be scammed.
Why would you buy it, it was on gamepass day 1
@@shippy1001 I got the damn thing with my purchase of a GPU, what can I do? can't refund that.

@@robertdelgado544i remember when everyone called him God Howard but after fallout 4 everyone just stopped lmao
Word. That's exactly what he is. Howard is completely out of touch with reality and only in touch with how fat his wallet is these days. He needs to leave and step down from the gaming development arena. He clearly is ruining Bethesda's reputation as a legitimate, authentic game development studio. The only thing he isn't ruining are the profits being made by his company's current sham marketing venture.
@@djrxmxsure dude
Todd saying he prioritizes quality is like Putin saying he prioritizes peace.
I still find it kinda hilarious that Obsidian was able to make a game that is widely considered the best Bethesda game and it isn't even a Bethesda and was made in 18 months
Only people that think that is people that played it first
bruh bethesda is so out of touch that u cant trust what todd scamword says
What they should have done was found a way to make a deal with the Modders who made Fallout: London and made it an official release on all platforms.
That’s not Bethesdas problem though😂 they aren’t entitled to cater for their modders schedule
@@Cardbo4rdb0xxit might not be their problem, but I believe it would be a good publicity move, if nothing else. Idk, I think it'd be entirely to their benefit to cooperate with the modders that are the beating heart for each of their IPs. Kind of like how Valve did for games like Black Mesa and even Team Fortress for that matter
@@nickhard7615 fair
Everyone! We filmed this video early yesterday and did not know about the Starfield update that was JUST announced. Video on that incoming as well!
Actually looks like a decent update overall, assuming it doesn't simultaneously break the new features as they are added. Probably a little too late in terms of PR. Definitely all should have been there on launch, and the game is still gonna have some fundamental issues that remain. They are working on a land vehicle though! But it looks like it's not part of this update, sooo. Props to them for trying to fix their mess, but they still made the mess. Looking forward to the video on it.

Game development isn't that fast and they more then likely didn't know about a show until a couple of years ago.
@@chasejackson7248 How would they not know if it's their IP? They did license it at some point, right? Maybe the thing is that they didn't express any interest on what going on with the production of it. Who knows.
I love the irony that Obsidian finally got to make their own "Fallout-game" in Outer Worlds, nailed it but it was a lil short. Now they get to make a sequel of a huge game for their own Fallout-like IP....
and now people are speculating they should make another Fallout game lol
the funny thing is fallout 4 has the exact same metacritic rating on pc as NV
Let's be real Fallout fans haven't been as a whole happy since New Vegas. A lot of fans went into Fallout 4 expecting a roleplaying game on the level of New Vegas with an updated engine. I personally liked Fallout 4 until I realized non of my skills were mattering towards choices and non of my choices largely mattered and circled back to the same thing. I regard Fallout 4 other then Far Harbor as a blackmark of nearly the same level as 76 on Fallout's history. The only thing I felt was improved in Fallout 4 over New Vegas was the power armor and the engine, that's it, everything else was worse.
At this point I just want New Vegas and Fallout 3 both ported to the creation engine 2 so they are more stable and have better lighting, that's it. I have no faith in Bethesda to make another good Fallout game and unless Obsidian takes the rains I'm not excited. I haven't had new Fallout content I was excited for that exceeded my expectations at since September 2011 with Lonesome Roam for New Vegas. Far Harbor for Fallout 4 only exceeded my expectations do to them being so low after the base game.
I think much of the talent that made the character writing so good in New Vegas has long since moved on from Obsidian.
I believe there was also an issue with Bethesda not owning the rights to a lot of the voice acting in New Vegas, so don't be expecting an official remake or radical overhaul any time soon.
Bethesda Games are some of the worst written in the industry lol
There must be some serious disfunction in that studio, this is just so bizarre.
I didn't know Todd Howard could talk
I think that might actually be the only thing he is capable of, telling the truth however… 🤷🏻♂️
@@King_Deadpoolio certified yapper
I've lost all confidence in anything Todd says. Either he's not playing their games and genuinely misunderstands what they're selling or he's trying to gaslight gamers about the nature of BGS games for the past 5 years.
Considering if you don't play Fallout 76 well the last good Bethesda game you played was Fo4 released in 2015, 9 years ago...oh sure someone out there thinks Starfield is amazing.
Remember, he’s not talking to us gamers in interviews. He’s talking to investors and normies. That’s who he cares about
@@masterpainter78 That very much depends on your definition of 'good', if you are NOT a parent there's a high likelihood that you were NOT hooked by their Fo4 intro and then quickly lost interest in their crappy story.
I consider Skyrim a good game for it's time, but it has some serious flaws as a RPG. So in my case it would be 2011, 13 years ago that bethesda made a 'good' game.
I tried 76 in it's beta (a week before launch) and saw it was just not ready, nowhere near ready. And laughed my ass off with the 1001 bugs compilation that I think came out a week after launch all found by a single guy.
The fun in a bethesda game sadly is going your own path and making your own fun, which doesn't mesh well with either Fo4's junk economy or starfields emptyness filled with loadingscreens, but goes okay with Skyrims hundreds of dungeons and caves.
@@sirjmo No I'm not a parent know people that are certainly Fo4 speaks to them more than I. After Fo4 though its clear to see it was all downhill from there, pretty clear with Starfield and not sure why I didnt wait a couple months certainly should have given what happened with Fo76, yikes.

The fact that the gaming community near universally jokes about Skyrims buginess 13 years after release should be like using a mini-nuke as a warning flare about Bethesdas quality to Todd Howard and the other executives at BGS
BGS doesn't deserve the IP they sit on, it's honestly criminal at this point. Especially after Starfield, I have absolutely zero faith in BGS.
Also, Todd Howard should not ever be allowed to speak.
They didn’t deserve the IP, they bought a dead ip from a dead publisher and made new games. “Criminals” lmao 🤣
That is alright. You dont have to play those games, you also don't have to listen to Todd. Its okay.
Relax guy lol
I mean Starfield and Fallout 76 are bad, but you can just, not play those games... I`m happy with Skyrim Ultima and recently playing Fallout 4 VR, with mods it`s actually okay-ish.
@@RaNc0R They massively outbid Troika for. They then proceeded to do the exact same thing Interplay did to ruin the franchise and also Interplay. I wouldn't call it criminal, but there's zero reason Microsoft shouldn't let another studio use the IP.
They obviously do not care about quality
I have been jump scared by cardboard Todd at least 5 times in this video
16 times the loading screens 😂😂
They will never be able to live up to New Vegas
This is by far the best video you have made regarding BGS. When I watched that interview I said the same thing to myself! “Todd would be going to jail for perjury.” The more people talk about this, the hope that someone higher than Todd takes this serious when it comes to their quality of the games.
Obviosly any big man like Todd saying something "is the most important" means, without any hint of doubt, that that is their main unsolved problem and there is no solution on sight. As old as humanity.
They have to figure out a way to make it run on the microwave, the kitchen refrigerator, and switch first. The Switch obviously being the less powerful of all of them.
The guy is a salesman through and through. Never be 100% honest, only say positive things even if its a lie, above all get them to buy no matter what you have to say to do it
I love how people think the criticism of Bethesda is just a fad instead of realizing that they haven’t made a good game since Skyrim
At Starfields launch, with everything i heard, i thought
"I think i'll wait 9 months or a year, maybe after the first expansion is out, they turn things around enough, i'll buy it"
Now- i don't even think i'd buy a Starfield complete edition in several years on massive sale and i genuinely fear for ESVI
... how have they still not figured out data streaming to remove loading screens between smalls levels like shops?... Wtf is an SSD minimum specs?!
RE: BGS and quality and the state of the next gen update:: I've been in the IT field for about nine years now. Over the past like 2 years, ive seen a noticeable push for inclusivity and 'wokeness' in the industry, although it's not universal across all industries. Anyway, some of these hires made under the banner of 'wokeness' or 'diversity' have consistently underperformed. Unfortunately, I believe this issue is affecting the gaming industry as well. I'm all for giving people opportunity but there has to be standards set. Hire based on skill and not on ethnic background, provide more intern programs and paths for more junior people to learn and gain the skills needed to be leaders and innovators in their respective industries.
This does not excuse senior devs and QAs signing off on this crap and letting it be pushed to production in that state.
Starfield can't be fixed.
Todd praised Larian in an interview but can't make a game comparable to BG3 and would never put sex in one of his video games.
Todd says they are looking for ways to speed up game production presumably under pressure from Jill Braff and Phil Spencer to do something to take advantage of the tvs shows popularity.
However there is little he can do other than maybe get the Fallout 3 remaster out the door quicker.
If forced into making a fallout game it most likely would be another microsoft studio. But not Obsidian or InExile the studios that have former Fallout developers who work there including Josh Sawyer of Obsidian. Sawyer was the director of Fallout New Vegas but I don't see Todd ever agreeing with allowing Sawyer/Obsidian to make another Fallout game.
So these interviews are largely propaganda and serve no useful purpose.
I'm just gonna say it: I want Todd Howard and Peter Molyneux to make a game together. That would be positively hilarious
It's actually crazy how much impact this show has had, there was over a million people playing Fallout 76 last week.
maybe 75k concurrent tops? and that was a blip that's dropping fast
My favorite part in this video is when you started cooking Todd Howard after putting up his cardboard cutout.
Tod,Tod never changes
Remember when he said fallout 75 will have “16 times the detail”???
I am part of the minority that actually loves 76 but it takes a very specific type of person to enjoy it. Almost all of the story is in the terminals and is largely text based. I enjoy reading everything and spending that time to get immersed and many of the side quests I do get invested in but I understand not everyone plays a game to read a bunch and without that you are wandering aimlessly trying to participate in the multiplayer functions which while they can be fun and enjoyable if that is all you are bouncing around doing the game would get old quick. I love the crafting system and actually makes use of the Bethesda junk and I feel like the in game economy is well balanced now for this type of game especially if you compare it to ESO. Games not perfect but the world is fun to explore and if you take your time with it slow down and smell the nuclear roses it is an enjoyable experience to role play and the community so far for me anyway has been great and super welcoming.
Quality ? i dnt think Todd knows the definition
Every Elder Scrolls game has , for the most part, been an improvement over the previous game. I predict we will see ES6 be the first game where they took a step backwards and not even be as good as Skyrim. One of the key things that was said in this video is Bethesda has a 'disconnect' with the reality relating to the quality of their games. I don't know how this happens but I think that's absolutely right. You would think there would be one employee there saying "Hey! This is garbage, we can't release this!", but I'm not sure what goes on there.
Quality is the most important because if they let someone else make fallout who actually wants to, itll show how low Bethesda writing and game design standards really are. Interesting how bethesda vehemently refuses to even acknowledge new vegas and even the first games at most times to the point where they are going revisionist on the original lore by overriding it with newer, poorly written lore and getting upset when people call it out.
Like hit them with the “I’m not mad just disappointed “ what a dad
0:57 Opera GX sponsored you with a change of T shirt too!! 😂
😐
I don't know why but I always want to believe Todd. Its the craziest thing, I want to believe.
Welcome to how Bethesda has made money for the last 10 years, off of poor suckers that he knows will never stop throwing money at him 😂
@@loganberkheimer1857I didn't buy Starfield, I watch reviews first now. A recovered sucker for Bethesda games, trying not to relapse =)
sure is a good thing they spent so much time on Starfield
"Tod has Spoken"
Don't you mean
"Tod Lied"
instead of clockwork inxile could have developped a fallout spin off and instead of avowed obsidian could have developped a elder scrolls spin off 😕
Unfortunately, Bethesda knows that would really hammer home how utterly inept they are, more so than when New Vegas dropped and was better than anything they had done or ever will do 😂
@@loganberkheimer1857 not sure that or whats the reason...i think Todd just has very specific ideas of how the next game needs to look and cant let go...hopefully msoft puts on some pressure...because of the pressure for commericial success i for example doubt we will ever see again an elder scrolls game outside of a main human area...it would be cool if for example obsidian could develop smaller spin offs in the more niche regions like elsweyr or blackmarsh or valenwood
With how slowly Bethesda makes games now, it really doesn't make sense that Microsoft doesn't let other studios have a chance at Fallout or TES. At this rate, we won't have a single new Fallout game this decade.
They didn’t retcon the entirety of new Vegas. But they did retcon some key points like house.
The "other thing" he's talking about after the Fallout 3 remaster could be a New Vegas remaster. Exact same engine and a lot of shared assets so the process should be basically the same.
Sure Todd whatever
21:00 - 21:17, Look at his dumb smug face, bro is just nodding and laughing like he didn't rip off over a hundred people and cheat them out of a fair bonus for the very game that put fallout on a pedestal. 21:56, How EASILY we all forget. This slime ball really tried to take credit for new Vegas because they where the publisher BUT THEY WON'T STEP UP FOR RED FALL!!! Huh?! Awful quiet when we talk about how *high quality* that game was! They destroyed that studios reputation and abandoned them to the wind, but they came crawling back to Obsidians work when they need a boost in publicity, Todd Howard you have NO DAMN RIGHT to speak. Bethesda genuinely won't change and it continues to make me *sick.* 🤢😷
Honestly it's actually really impresive, like extremly impressive... How addictive Skyrim is. I've put 1500 hours into it, I was hooked, then some of that energy got hijacked by fallout 4 which I also kinda loved, but It opened my eyes with regard of the bethesda problems, (F4 came out in the same year as the witcher 3) and since then nothing but I'm just itching for a good bethesda game, I still want that skyrim magic, but new and good. Like bravo, Skyrim is the strongest drug I've ever had, more than 5 years sober and I still want it and it still makes me want a good bethesda game.
Still the same Bethesda when they put out "The pitt" dlc for fallout 3 it was broken due to a bunch of missing textures on 360 and took a day or a few days to fix it.
I believe what Todd meant by the game's "quality" is the world design and characters. (except for the empty planets of starfield)
Like you said, Bethesda games having a lot of jank and glitches. But all of that is usually set aside by the beautifully crafted world and character interactions.
I had the same thought. It's facile to go on a 30 minute rant about a generic word like 'quality,' which can apply to a variety of traits about an object. This is partially Luke projecting again in his sometimes pseudo-intellectual style, hearing what he defines 'quality' to mean. It's a vague term designed for marketing, and assuming specifics is playing into it.
Not that I think it isn't funny for BGS to adopt the slogan "We care about quality most."
"Respect my privacy" and "Opera GX" can't coexist in the same sentence lolllll
Would you elaborate a bit on that? Is it that bad? I guess my knowledge on web browsers is somewhat outdated. Firefox seemed comfortable enough at the time, so I'm sitting on it for a decade now, but if there's better alternatives, I'm all ears.
the fact is they could easily make a spinoff fallout like new vegas when you look at how fast they seemed to make 76, which is still is an updated engine from FO4
Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Todd Howard has spoken! I’m looking forward to the remastered version of Fallout 3!
Don't you Mean "Known Liar Todd Howard has spoken"
I really hope they are working on revamping the spawn system to center around the player instead of the ship. If they don't do that, then nothing else will matter because modders will never be able to make large scale mods/overhauls to keep the game alive like Fallout 4 and Skyrim have.
Luke mentionned Bloodborne 2! Bloodborne 2 confirmed and Bloodborne PC port heavily implied?!
I've reached a state of indifference and apathy with video games, and I very much miss the days when I was excited and looking forward to the next release from my favorite devs. Now, I can't bring myself to buy any game on hype alone. Initially good reviews may not even do it. I need to wait for 100-hour+ reviews that highly recommend it.
