Bethesda? Best games ever built?

Please tell me this article is satire.

potatoseal1304d ago

I was going to say something similar. EVERY developer wants to make the best games, few can actually do it.

You'll say Fallout 76, I'll say Doom.

Yeah talk is cheap. I'm skeptical

Phil Spencer is nothing but talk.

Over the last 7 years he hasn’t even supported his own teams making the best games they’ve ever built.

Most of their franchises have declined in quality.

And do we even need to mention halo infinite...

I’m looking forward to the attempt. The elder scrolls clone Avowed(?) is a good start.

So like that the best, the biggest, the most awesome Fallout game?
..which then turned out to be Fallout 76

yeah, I think I'll pass.

Bethesda and Todd lost all the credibility long ago.
But they continue with over the top marketing bullshit.

Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.

This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.

Good piece of history here.

edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.

This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.

These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.

I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol

Helldivers 2 studio hires new CEO, but Pilestedt isn’t going anywhere

Pilestedt writes: "Hey everyone,

Big update, I've decided to hire @ShamsJorjani as the new CEO of @ArrowheadGS ! We go way back and I wouldn't trust the business in any other hands than his. (...and he comes with an impressive resume and love for games)

But what about me and my involvement in @Helldivers2 ? Well, I'm glad you asked! I am taking the role of Chief Creative Officer, which means I will spend MORE time with the team and 100% of my focus on the games and community!"
