Seriously, it isn’t like Bethesda has a long list of IP to work with here.
Other than Elder Scrolls and Fallout (which they should already be assumed to be focusing on to begin with), the only other IPs that are still alive would be DOOM and maybe Wolfenstein,
Dishonored is dead, Quake is dead, they shuttered Tango so no continuation of Hi-Fi Rush or Ghostwire, RAGE is dead.
Unfortunately, Bethesda decided to spend all their time working on Starfield. The only thing they had when they revealed the ES6 trailer, was the video. And that’s because they knew they’d get lynched if they didn’t annoubce ES6
its not unfortunate that bethesda tried something new, more companies should be doing that. i do not want another sports franchise, call of duty, or far cry just churning out games ASAP with lessening quality
Asha Sharma had this statement, in amongst the rest of it. As per Ars Technica:
Some decisions in the gaming division currently pass through “14 layers” of decision-makers, Sharma said, before promising that the new Xbox will be a “flatter organization” with “no more than 5, and where possible, 3” layers of management involved in any decision.
You’d have to think that it’s this shit that she’s pointing at. Massively excessive management certainly helps with all the design-by-committee cookie-cutter crap that’s filled with monetisation. Alas, they’ve just got rid of the really interesting studios that I’d like to see spread their wings a little.
Yea, bit of a double edged sword and doubly so with who is swinging it.
Glad they see it’s a problem of structure that’s getting in the way of creation but their methods of trimming the excess has sadly closed a lot of my favorite studios.
I will never get a Prey 2 no matter what iteration it seems.
Tango is still Tango, even if they now have to shoulder the yoke that is Krafton. I’m still excited for more Hi-Fi Rush.
Krafton did lose massively in that attempt and the original Subnautica creators are getting everything they are owed plus some.
Subnautica 2 is definitively a Subnautica game, going back to what made the game great in the original instead of the flop that was Below Zero. So, I’m pretty confident Hi-Fi 2 will be good and maintain the vision of the first game.
Still, whether or not I’m paying for it depends on how much Krafton wants fuck around.

Thanks I suppose I forgot about Doom. So, he meant they shouldn’t focus on Doom lol.
Oh is it Bethesda and ID software now? I didn’t know they merged. I knew ID software helped with Starfield, but I thought they were still separate.
The Bethesda-id software-ZeniMax shit is so confusing, especially since Microsoft acquired Zenimax, and by extension Bethesda and id, in 2021.
They are “technically” separate but Bethesda is still the primary publisher of id software’s games, and thus they do fall under their umbrella.

It’s similar to Google and Alphabet, the “child” company created the “parent”.
Bethesda created ZeniMax, ZeniMax own Bethesda (And ID, and Arkane), and then Microsoft bought ZeniMax and all the child companies.
It’s all corporate capitalist “I own a piece of paper that says I own you and everything you worked to create” bullshit and tax fuckery to me.
Hi-fi got picked up by a different studio, didn’t it?
Tango Gameworks and the Hi-Fi Rush IP got acquired by Krafton, who is known for publishing PUBG.
Isn’t that the publisher dicking over the Subnautica devs?
Krafton can eat a bag of dicks
Not as far as I’m aware.
Tango was purchased by Krafton and HiFi Rush 2 is supposedly in the works.
Oh sweet.
Eh, we will see. I am excited for hi-fi rush 2, but after the subnautica 2 debacle… we will see
