JAB Creationsmy sources say they wanted to retire with ridiculous amounts of wealth.

Vayra86Bethesda now has the PR ammunition available (as in: they don't have any say in it, 'wir haben es nicht gewusst', whatever they like) to toss a thermonuclear device on that shit open world engine they got.

Best acquisition 2020

Maybe now we'll get a Minecraft Fallout and TES, they'll probably run better and be mod friendly to boot. As someone else said, Obsidian writes some quests, bombshell ready to launch. (I prob won't play it :D)

According to Bethesda's Todd Howard, Bethesda Game Studios' internal engine has undergone its "largest overhaul since Oblivion,"

BubsterFallout wasn't a cool game ...more like a cheap rip off of Far cry open world adventure

Ashtr1xThis big M&A is bad for industry, EA is already a proof of the dead IP and so many games ruined by that company, Microsoft couldn't make shit ffrom their IP Halo, since Halo 5. And they also ruined Gears of War past Epic's involvement. Then you have the cancer called Bethesda which reeks of that FO76 disaster, their IP of Dishonored got hold because of the far less sales due to many issues of the game being not upto the mark of first then Arkane's collusion with Anita Sarkeesian and co for the sociopolical shoveling onto games, spread to Machinegames as well, Youngblood. That spread throughout their IP and all of them are on ice by Zenimax due to less sales, and created that disaster called Fallout76 to try out some new paid mods and other garbage as a Service, only left is DOOM which is due to id Software.

Microsoft with it's cash disposal for shit couldn't do anything but watch in shame on how Sony is going to steamroll over them again except to purchase this on exactly one day before the Pre-orders they do not have any plan to make new games off and their own IP is rotting (Halo Infinite, 343i under Bonnie Ross). This doesn't do shit for their Xbox crap, except Gears of War and Halo (which is now on PC as well, probably the only thing which MS did something fantastic, someone ordered that MCC on Win32 which is really superb but all that was for Halo Infinite, nothing for Gears of War sadly) there's no single reason to buy Xbox, unless they are not into PC. Still many will go to Playstation, Sony even though that new Dad of War (garbage game is not God of War) gaining super popularity due to reboot and their prized excl. Japanese dev talent for Bloodborne, and other games such has Shadow of Colossus, etc even without back compat was able to stomp Xbox. & now Demon Souls Remake, Ratchet and Clank, whole Konami, Kojima and other Japanese studios.

This one gives them some base to stand, making more studios under Bethesda as probably Bethesda administration will not change mostly. And the biggest piece of pie, Xbox Gamepass, the ultimate cancer, Games as a Service. In the age of Denuvo which is having online activations but eventually gets removed sometimes be it getting cracked or not, this GaaS is pure cancer, which gives more scope for games being as a platform, Halo Infinite garbage for eg. then the UWP, ultimate DRM built into the OS, it's a shame to see so many people buy that Gamepass not to own and play again at a later point to time to experience that pure immersion of these old fantastic games but to rent, and add that Fortnite style of BR madness with MTX, Halo Infinite garbage again. MS is always into this as a Service, zero ownership and zero control, mods also now we do not know how they will be in the future, Xbox bloat in Win10 dependency (XBLive), Win10 version requirements, what not. Also that Gamepass and Xcloud are the key here as well, it will be on PC and Xbox not on PS, that's the card MS wants to play.

This is bad, very bad for us. The only good thing I see from this is Zenimax IP getting sequels but with their top studios making garbage even that is not inspiring. Sony will raise an eye definitely, but this excl. B.S will even make Sony to not release their games on PC platform, Bloodborne is getting a release on PC as per rumors, now they might even axe it or any IP for instance. This console war, I hope MS fails again harder.

The original Fallout 1 and 2 have nothing in common with Elder Scrolls games. The post Bethesda acquisition Fallout's naturally have some things in common with modern ES games.

As for "more like a cheap Far Cry rip off" - Jesus people, when were you born?

AssimilatorHoly hell, I don't think anyone saw this coming.

Let's hope that this will ensure the next Fallout or Elder Scrolls game isn't a janky cash-grab.



Creation Engine should be thrown in a pit, and that pit should have a couple dozen Fallout nukes lobbed into it. That janky POS lived far longer than it should, they should've rewritten it for Fallout 4 already but Todd Howard likes money too much.

lexluthermiesterMicrosoft buying Zenimax is not a good thing for the gaming industry. This will only end poorly... Example? Look what happened to Bungie and Rare...

Lionheart:wtf:

ViperXTRCreation Engine? isn't it that it's just an updated gamebryo/netimmerse engine of eons old?

kiriakostI love your innocent way of thinking. :)
When Microsoft will take over the gaming industry for good, their fist action would be to kill games compatibility with anything older than Win10.
This is how the dance will begin.

bugYou don't need Microsoft to take over for that to happen. There's got to be a moment past which all games will require DX12+, even if it's 5+ years from now.

kiriakostI am worrying of Microsoft upcoming New Error message ......This game require W10 to be installed.
They can do anything they like with their new property.

lexluthermiesterExample? Look what happened to Bungie and Rare...

FreedomEclipseDoesnt matter -- It still eventually led to the birth of fallout thus Elder Scrolls came first

bugWell, if it requires DX12, of course it will require Win10.

Also, I'm having a blast when I see people hating on Win10 because it's spyware, while blissfully running Win7 which is solid only because ever since Vista, all versions of Windows had built-in automatic crash reporting, making them also spyware :D

Vayra86Exactly, either roll back to XP or STFU

hardcore_gamerRare is doing fine.

hardcore_gamerSea of Thieves is massively underrated imo.
