Bethesda Game Studios is already designing the game it will make after the one the team is currently working on - which itself has yet to be announced, executive producer Todd Howard has told Eurogamer.
While the majority of Bethesda's 90 or so staff are beavering away on the new game, which has been in development for two years, Howard said his time is split between the two projects.
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.
