New team of more than 40 devs will work on games for console, PC, and mobile.
Bethesda Softworks is the latest publisher to set up shop in Quebec, as the company today announced the opening of its new Montreal development studio. With Yves Lachance in the role of studio director, Bethesda Game Studios Montreal was established by the publisher "to expand its development capabilities in console, PC, and mobile gaming."
Todd Howard opens up on Starfield's hard development, confirms Bethesda is targeting wider hardware scalability for TES VI and future games.
Engines not the problem per say. If there is a “problem “ it lies in Bethesda’s design philosophy and direction.
If you're looking for any meaty Elder Scrolls 6 updates from Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard, listen for the Creation Engine 3 stuff.
"So we started with [the idea] that you want to be in your spaceship and to fly around a planet or fly smoothly over to that moon or whatever, right? It started there, then we're going to have this mode where you're going to go fast.’ Then it was, 'Well that needs to have some gameplay, what would players expect?' And that's where we got into all of the systems that Free Lanes has."
It's definitely a step in the right direction and I hope they keep improving on it. But honestly, that's the very least that should have been in the game from the start. He's saying it like they had an 'idea' that people would want to actually fly their ship around. That should have been obvious already from games like No Man's Sky and Elite Dangerous.
A decade on from its Game of the Year-winning triumph, Todd Howard reminisces on how Fallout 4 changed Bethesda Game Studios, its TV show adaptation and playtesting The Elder Scrolls 6.
They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.
Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.
So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.
I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
They should stop in the old section and grab some tire de neige. mmmm.
