Xbox Game Studios |OT5| DOOM posting not allowed. Except for posting about DOOM

I’m operating under the assumption that Bethesda doesn’t want Fallout made by Obsidian, or anyone else, going forward. As well as Xbox not being dicks and taking it away from them against their wishes

Pod gets it

Because its Bethesda’s IP and they are the custodians of Fallout? Also they have said numerous times that they dont see the need to do 3rd party development for their stuff like Fallout.

Im sure the next Fallout post 76 wants to be made by them and tbh Id rather xbox avoid start an internal “war” over who does better use of X or Y IP with Obsidian. Also Some people like me prefer Fallout 3 to New Vegas.

We’ll have to wait to see, but I’m confident in my opinion on this which is Fallout will be in development within the next 12 months at either Bethesda with a large hiring spree or at another internal studio.

Look at this wonderful thing.

Don’t usually post from other forums but think this post about Halo at E3 is informative.

Looks like Grubb again doesn’t know anything and he’s just guessing based also on that what Klobrille was writing.

Halo is a big franchise for Xbox but it’s time to put it on a second place. At this point nobody is coming to Xbox for halo. Either you’re a fan or you’re not. Halo and gears shouldn’t be the main focus anymore for Xbox. Having another year with just one big game that happens to be halo is just lame and keeps adding to the never ending meme of gears-forza-halo. Hopefully they can add some big day one third party to gamepass if Starfield is indeed 2022

thats why they acquired several studios and a publisher.

Honestly, if what Grubb is saying is true, and what is shown will likely disappoint people beyond the core, don’t open or close the show with Halo. Please.

Set the tone with a showcase game, preferably something new like Avowed or Omen, and close the night off with Starfield. Halo will impress who it impresses, but don’t give people the opportunity to click off the show because they think it’s just “Halo again” or leave let down.

Mind you, I’m glad Halo is doing this. It’s time to stop chasing trends and just become something it always should be: a damn great Halo game. But if you are for lack of a better phrase preaching to the choir here, I’d put it in the middle.

Why would another studio not named Bethesda work on Fallout. That goes against what everything Xbox has done over the past 3 years.

Again they have like 7 rpg’s in development. There is ZERO need to fast track a fallout.

[BadNews]

Also an important thing to note is we do not want Microsoft to rush Fallout or put another team on it because it will go against current philosophy. Also you have to think long term and Microsoft forcing Fallout or putting another studio on it might make certain devs hesitant in joining Microsoft. I believe the reason why we got a lot of studios jumping ship to Microsoft was due to hands off promise and allowing them the free reigns to release games such as grounded and bleeding edge.

[enski (Emil)]

Microsoft needs to show campaign with another ~5-7 gameplay trailer, a bit of multiplayer with invite to beta and 343 Industries should show us comparison screenshot or short videos between new build and that shit what they showed in July on Halo Waypoint after the Showcase.

This. If Halo isn’t something to stun and wow the mainstream, don’t open/close the show with it. It’s no longer that game. Saying things like “It plays like Halo” gives me total Crackdown 4 vibes. Halo has lost it’s contemporary lustre/relevance to that mainstream. But that’s because the mainstream has moved on. The games that open/close shows should be those that appeal to those wanting the most cutting edge/relevant software. If it was just based on quality, MS should probably just open with Solitaire. It’s got a massive and loyal player base, after all.

I would put whatever games have the most impressive visuals on first (excluding Forza/flight sim), then follow up with Halo. Then close with Starfield.

Particularly considering Fallout is in need of some major retooling before they release another game.

Because @Hindle seems to be obsessed about Fallout and that’s why there was that whole discussion.

[BRiT]

Would you kindly discuss E3 stuff in the E3 thread? That thread is looking neglected.

Xbox + Bethesda E3 2021- June 13th @ 10AM PST/1PMEST/6PMBST- Pre-E3 Discussion Thread!

[Xbox_SaveTheDate_16x9_FINAL_JPG] 2021-06-13T17:00:00Z (UTC) What do YOU think Xbox will show at E3? What games will be there. Will they announce any major acquisitions? Will there be a lot of third party Game Pass deals? What will be the biggest surprise? What will Bethesda show? Post anything you reasonably expect to be at the show!

First off, there’s billions of reasons Second off you completely ignore the whole portion where they may actually just hire the resources Bethesda needs to do it themselves.

Aside from that there’s already a history with that happening and for ZeniMax/Bethesda farming out an IP. There’s the even greater demand for gamepass it generates. It can help drive the IP value even higher, having it sit on the shelf actually is detrimental to the value of the IP. It gives fans what they’re asking for. Microsoft just paid billions and is desperately looking for massive IP so I contend when they have one, especially one they just paid huge money for, they won’t let it just sit on the shelf.

Agree but… Halo is the most popular Xbox IP yet.

Also we’re talking about giving the next Fallout to Obsidian, as if they’re just sitting around, waiting for something to do

That thread should be pinned for now.

[PoderickPayne (Travis Norris)]

@Shakez

That thread should be pinned for now.

Said the same in that thread itself

It sits too far down the forum list and gets mostly ignored for that. Even though it’s specificaly about the most dominant subject on the site for a while. Anticipating E3. Which will continue to be dominating the overall conversation until the 13th

I know there are a lot of pinned threads already, but that one deserves to be one regardless

If Avowed is a 2022 release then it makes sense to get Fallout next in pre dev with them.
