Guess we kind of forgot how starfield turned out.

Don't worry, a few years from now people here will be "sure, it's $90 and they haven't made a good game in decades, but this is a day one buy for me." And then they'll say "well I got 20 hours out of it and that's a good value at under $5 an hour!"

A year or two after release they'll finally admit the game is shit and they wasted their money. Repeat this cycle. Over and over.

What they should do is go out and get some of the OG devs who worked on New Vegas. A lot of those guys are available, now the In Exile is mostly tanking. Even with the bugs and shooter RPG aspects, New Vegas was arguably one of the best games of all time.

Settlement building was awesome. I made a battlecruiser base and a giant town and vault. 70% of my playtime in fallout 4 was building

You do you bro if that's what you enjoy, but me personally I don't and didn't play Fallout games to build bases. The emphasis that they put on that in FO4 and crafting really was off-putting to me.

my starfield experience was laughing at a youtube video where some dude built a donut shaped ship, and it was invincible becuase the ai always shot center mass, and nothing could hit it.

I hear you but if microsoft has tight oversight on this project, which im sure they will, then this might have a chance. I mean, its one of the bread and butter IPs they bought so youre dam well sure they will oversee this with a passion to make it good. At least I hope.

They will undoubtedly have as much oversight over ES6 as Fallout. That said, I have no idea how many of their old talents they have left, if any. Especially in terms of story creation. And I'm not sure what help MS can be in that regard at all.

Most likely MS also want ES6 to have the same life cycle of Skyrim, sell it several times. To finally start earning money on their purchase. Since ES and Fallout are the main games of that studio.

So my guesses
- ES6 and Fallout 5 are both open world quest games, they will never release anywhere near eachother.
- ES6 will release first. Earliest 2027, more likely 2028.
- ES6 will be on "old" engine, but also made to be compatible to change it to a new / upgraded engine. That will be the "next edition" of the game, sales X2. 2030. I doubt Fallout 5 will release before they've milked it at least that much.
- Fallout 5 will be on the "new" engine, 2032+.

It will undoubtedly sell on name alone, but they really can't have another Starfield without having the studio gutted. I have no doubt MS suits wanted Starfield to be a Skyrim as well. Sell it multiple times and be a big selling point for Gamepass though wouldn't be shocked if the Oblivion remake was a bigger hit than Starfield. Though I also think Fallout is "too big to cancel". Even if they gutted and fired Zenimax following a "fail" from Elder Scrolls, Fallout would be given to someone else. It was bound to be green lit.

Should give this IP to Larian - we would see an epic game.

Go back to the turn based top down, crazy story / dialogue.... That would be amazing. Will never happen, but would be amazing. The way things are going, with MS at the helm, I rather suspect that when the Fallout 5 trailer hits it will have the neon pink/blue color scheme and be as generic as it can be.

I just preordered the deluxe edition with a radioactive dilater.


But seriously, they should build this in unreal engine and block everyone involved in starfield from touching this.

They could, but it would never be a mainline game. Like Fallout Tactics was sort of a side-game.

You're probably right, but they would've been smart to release it closer to the show. By the time they release the game, the show will have long since been cancelled.

Fallout by Larian would be legendary.

Ultima by Larian would be the wrong lore though. Iolo would be up your ass as soon as you delved into any kind of degeneracy.
