  1. The Todd Howard point is a bit faulty, surely? I mean, if you're designing games exclusively for Microsoft systems then you're having to be very flexible about how they will run on all the many different gaming rig setups on PC! Yeah, it's marginally less work than also designing for Sony consoles, but it's not true that exclusivity with Microsoft means being able to lean into the unique hardware of the Xbox Series consoles – at least not while MS has its current approach of bringing out all first-party games on both the older consoles and on PC. If the Bethesda games were only being released on Xbox Series X/S, or only PS5 e.g., he would have a point.

  2. To Pete Hines: "Where was the apology for FAILOUT 76???"
    Why do PS4 owners complain about the piss poor playability of Cyberjunk 2077?? Are they still using windows XP?? Facepalm.

  3. Hey SkillUp, I don't know if this would be too much additional work but when you're announcing games that are coming to Xbox Game Pass (including day 1 releases) do you think that you could maybe specify whether that is only the console game pass or if it also includes the PC game pass?

  4. To be fair, in Todd Howard's defense: Bethesda games often survive off of and get all of their longevity from their modding community, and Sony has made it clear they are opposed to supporting modding. Just look at how barebones the Creation Club was on Playstation compared to Xbox. Going Microsoft exclusive was a really sound decision for Bethesda.

    Sucks if your a Sony fan, but you chose a console developer who approaches game support in the same way Apple approaches…everything. Which is to say: make everything exclusive and don't allow easy customization/patching.

  5. Good ol' Todd has to say stupid things instead of just saying nothing. He says it's easier to not have to do PS5 development. Yeah, it's way easier now because they only have to dev for xb1, xb series s, xbox series s, pc, phone, and tablets. PS5 would just make it so much harder.

  6. insomniac didn't apologize for spider-man being exclusive because it wouldn't have hapened without sony, and this isn't the case for starfield of any other bethesda game, they were announced before microsoft bought bethesda

  7. Playstation exclusive = only on PS5

    Xbox exclusive = Xbox one(Via Cloud app)/ series S, Series X, PC and any internet connected tablet/phone via cloud or console streaming!

    Games Media and Sony fanboys "Xbox exclusive BAD"

  9. I wil try again CyberPunk2077 when it will be like a final version of final version, something like goty edition or complete edition with all DLC's and no more patches.
    I would like to see how mutch they will manage to change.

  10. never understood playstation fans being upset about exclusivity when theyve (including myself) have never apologized for our exclusives its just competition between competitors and well get better games in the long run because of that competition

    Reply
  11. When you have a PC and a PS5, these announcements don’t really bother you!! And Xbox series X still has to play catch-up with Ps5!!! By the time we get Starfield, Sony will have already 4 or 5 more exclusives released!!

  12. Watch starfield end up being another buggy, broken complete and total and utter train wreck at launch, because surely that not what bugthesda I mean fallout, I mean Todd Howard I mean Pete Hines is/are known for shipping out right? people are giving such praise to Microsoft for having bought bugthesda, like sure it's fine microsoft can buy bugthesda, but it won't change anything bugthesda is gonna remain bugthesda I mean seriously look how autonomy bugthesda still has despite being bought, lol I'm gonna laugh so hard when starfield comes out and and all the hype all the trust all the respect all of everything that Xbox players are giving to a company who have shipped way to many buggy broken titles at launch especially fallout 76, ends up shipping another buggy broken unfinished mess and the reaction of all thoes who have the expectation that starfield is gonna be great thst it's gonna be Amazing and based on what exactly have people not looked at bugthesda's track record? just saying, again it's fine for microsoft to have bought bugthesda, but let's be real here let's be honest, it's BUGTHESDA and bugthesda trust, good will, respect anything that BETHESDA had is long gone and was flushed down the toilet years ago, people know bugthesda's track record and if thst is anything to go by, I'm sure starfield is gonna turn into FAILFIELD or DEADFIELD no long after it gets released whenever that happens in a few years, this is bugthesda we are talking about, they haven't changed and they never will, they can "apologize" all they want but in the end it doesn't change anything because bugthesda is gonna be bugthesda and bugthesda is never going to change and they are never gonna change the buggy broken unfinished products they sell, that's their track record until proven otherwise which isn't gonna happen, bugthesda is a bottom the barrel company their completely and totally and utterly laughable and they always will be. Microsoft buying bugthesda won't change that. Again I'm gonna laugh so hard when thoes that have the delusional expectation that microsoft buying bugthesda is gonna "fix" bugthesda, yeah ok, not with the amount of autonomy bugthesda still has.
