Bethesda’s Pete Hines has reacted to the rumour that Doom 4 had been “indefinitely postponed” by saying the story is “complete b*****ks”.
Pete Hines is retiring from Bethesda Softworks after 24 years.
Im glad he leaving. Bethesda has been terrible under his leadership. Redfall, Starfield, Fallout76 and the list goes on an on. His leadership style is outdated. Hopefully, MS bring someone in that knows what they are doing.
I interviewed at Bethesda once, and while there were some very smart mid level team members, the upper ranks (EP/VP/Studio Head) were a total boys' club. The Madmen series ego in that lunch was stiffling.

Pete Hines was against locking out the majority of their console playerbase (ps gamers). Probably disgusted at the hypocrisy of white knight Phil assuring PS gamers that they can still play COD. Acquisition goes through, Hines goes out.
Goodbye Pete.
i wonder if he was asked to leave.
im pretty sure not everyone was on board with the acquisition.
The number one game development doctrine: It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
What risks were taken? Space travel? Entire planets ? Vehicles for planets? Smart AI? Don’t see any risks taken
The only risks taken were in the exploration lies told when advertising. This is basically Bethesda’s take on Mass Effect 1.
Bethesda Softworks publishing head Pete Hines has reassured players that Arkane isn't giving up on Redfall, despite its lukewarm reception on launch earlier this year. In fact, he's confident it will be a good game people want to play on Game Pass ten years from now.
Redfall will likely not have the same level of long-term of support as Fallout 76. I doubt Redfall is popular enough to warrant several years of support and updates.
It should have been a good game coming out the gate... I get that not all games are going to be winners. But, at the very least, make sure it's decent before releasing. Especially with a huge company like Bethesda backing it. Not to mention Arkane had a great reputation before this. It's one thing for an indie title not meeting expectations. It's another entirely when you're supposed to be backed by a huge player in the industry.
It’s already dead Jim. Just like Halo Infinite.
People have moved on to better games.
Bad move. Fallout 76 is still awful and not at all beloved by the Fallout community.
Rage was rubbish so I couldn't care less about their next game.
They focus too much on the visuals and not enough in any other category.
Besides there is too many great games coming out to worry about things like this.
@Septic I'm going nowhere bitch.
After Doom 3 I'm surprised anyone is interested in Doom 4..
Id and Bungie should make a game together = graphics and gameplay
Rage is and awesome game. Unless you played it you wouldn't know.
Visually its hot, action is hot and the co-op mission kick ass.
They have nothing to be worried about.
I say, make Doom 4. Just make sure to light it up this time. ID Tech 5 is a fantastic engine.
Bethesda shouldn't just throw unfinished code upon QA.
Sadly, Carmack was done for when Bethesda bought Id.
Whether you accept it or not, Bethesda does not make finished games, they always are unforgivably broken and full of bugs.
