Skyrim, Fallout 4 Director Todd Howard Offers Update on Bethesda Games Studios' Current Projects

"Some of those things are obviously of different scales," Todd Howard told IGN about Bethesda's various projects.

Bahamut2659d ago (Edited 2659d ago )

The only thing they should be working on right now is Elder Scrolls VI. That, and maybe a Morrowind Remake/Remaster.

warriorcase2659d ago

With skywind getting the nod from bethesda I can't see an official morrowind remake happening anytime soon. That said, skywind does look pretty amazing

Let's hope with a brand new engine. God, after Fallout 4 I'm ready for that old tired engine to be put to pasture.

FalloutWanderer20772658d ago

This is precisely why TES VI will not be releasing for a longtime. I have a feeling if they are (you better be Bethesda!) creating a brand new engine, TES VI will be the game that premieres and showcases a new engine. Fans expecting TES VI at E3 are only going to be sorely disappointed, I'm telling you.

KillZallthebeast2659d ago

Honestly I wouldn't mind another fallout that followed the style of new vegas instead of the sterile wasteland that 4 was. And a proper elder scrolls follow up would be nice.

FalloutWanderer20772658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

This. If it were not for Obsidian busy with POE 2, I'd actually have a bit more hope of this actually happening. Unless it's a ways off, I cannot see how Obsidian currently having the time and man power to create it. Unless...which would be potentially complicated, both BGS and Obsidian co-developed it. That would be interesting to say the least.

I just don't see how it could be anything other than elder scrolls or fallout 5. Sure the smaller mobile crap and remakes or whatever but their games take a long time to make. I can't magine that they haven't already started on ES.

FalloutWanderer20772658d ago

No way it's TES VI, and there hasn't been enough time when considering FO4 dlc etc. for them to create another game already. Not if they are continuing what they did with FO4 and releasing soon after announcement. If it's a reveal with a loose date like 'fall 2018' maybe....I could see a reveal like that happening. However, It's a safer bet that what we'll actually see at the BGS presentation are their published games, Tango and Machinegames for example. I'm also expecting an announcement and gameplay for Dishonored 2 DLC.

opinionated2658d ago

I'm not saying they are going to announce it at e3 or whatever but I think it's pretty certain they are working on it. They have to be.

FalloutWanderer20772657d ago

Oh I believe they're working on it as well, I just don't think we are going to see it, let alone hear an announcement for a longtime. At least a few years. They supposedly have 2 big projects coming out before TES 6, or how Howard put it, that we'll hear about these two projects before TES 6. Hopefully we'll know more about one of these projects at their E3 presentation.

Every PlayStation Studios game available now on Windows PC

Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.

According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."

My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.

Elda9h ago

Every old Playstation game that is now on PC.

shinoff218313m ago

Right. I definitely see what a headlined from a website named windows central was trying to do though. It's cute little wordplay to help out the green box

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff21831d 3h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan13h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin11h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_10h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

MrNinosan7h ago

@Notelin
I am one of the few who bought Days Gone on release day and loved it completely.
However, "more online trash" is phrased like Sony has put out alot of trash online games.
We got what, 2 games? Helldivers 2 and GT7, 2 of the most sold Playstation games where both is loved by millions.

You, me and especially shinoff has no idea if Fairgames, Marathon and Concord will be trash.

Just because we (as in you and me) don't love or support online games, doesn't mean millions of other do.

And we don't know what Bend Studio is working with? We don't know if they're forced to make a online game or another amazing single player experience.

The only thing we do know is that it's not Days Gone, sadly due to poor sales the first 6 months.

shinoff21835h ago(Edited 5h ago)

More online trash wasmt meant how insee it comes across. I should've worded it different I was meaning the focus they currently have on it.

Anything online is online trash to me. How long did naughty dog spend on that dumba last of us multiplayer, how about Concord, or even the other couple we hear about. I fk with Sony because rpgs and their 1st party single player games. Been like that for years. I hate seeing them waste time, money, and talent on trash. I understand bot every game is gonna be for me but this focus they've seem to had on multiplayer is extremely disheartening. Even at the state of play the only things I was really feeling were Astrobot and silent hill 2 and I'm content with that, not everything is for me. It's just the online focus I hate. Ms bought up 3 to 4 wrpgs developers, Sony just ignores rpgs 1st party wise.

And a days gone 2 would've been much better then whatever online sht bend is working on. I do know sometimes I get very idk emotional. I do need to work on toning that down a bit lol

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

shinoff21835h ago

I mean it's not out of the realm of possibility at this point.

Grilla12h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl52312h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin11h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-6410h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga8h ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

excaliburps13h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla12h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

derek6h ago

@Notellin, of course you'll believe an embittered ex-employee with an axe to grind because it's evil Sony he's complaining about. You guys act like days gone was this huge success and somehow Sony hates easy money a sequel would have generated. The game was mid and so was the response to it. They're still supporting the developer who is making a new ip that could be great.

shinoff21835h ago

Days gone was fantastic. I bought day one but didn't get around to it for months. When I finally did I was pissed at myself for waiting so long lol

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing6912h ago(Edited 12h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip10h ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.

-Foxtrot5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

But if it’s true what this guy says it sold better than Death Stranding

Yet that got a sequel and Kojima aside out of them both DS didn’t really NEED a sequel compared to Days Gone which ended on such a cliff hanger twist.
