Elder Scrolls 6 Confirmed Xbox/PC Exclusive.

oh boy...get ready for the review bombs,i guess es6 will be a 0/10

Sure review bombing most of the sucks ass, but at least Starfield deserves all sub 7/10 reviews. At least they should start changing to game engine from this decade. 25 year old engine doesn't really live up to expectations anymore. The bigger their games get, the more painful it is that it's still pretty much Morrowind engine with new shaders.

Well to be honest, I think that's kinda the reason they keep using it. It works well enough. And obviously the other big thing is the mod support. If Bethesda started using something like UE5 and the game didn't have mod proper mod support, that would A) cause a huge shitstorm in the internets because internet has to storm shit every time, and B) Bethesda would actually have to make a good game out of the box, which they clearly can't do. It's incredible how they've designed stuff in Starfield. UI/UX is so abysmal at times, that "it's a console UI" doesn't really do it anymore (at least their UI is now fullscreen, and not in a smartwatch like in F4).

If its on pc then its ok

Basically. Consoles are garbage at this point, outdated hardware on release and holding the entire industry back since every new game has to consider whether it can run on the fucking Super Nintendo.

Eh, depends on the console and if it's doing something interesting wit either the controllers or screen or whatever.

But yeah, PS5 and Xbox don't do anything special for me. Specially Xbox. It's microsoft, just buy a pc

Before and after. They ported a native PS5 version of Skyrim under MS. But this is the norm, they have supported all consoles with back catalog but new games are Xbox/Windows only.

Xbox is a meme in Japan. PS is also close to becoming a meme in Japan, and by next gen very well might be. If your game isn't on Nintendo's system Japan ain't buying it. It's not uncommon for the top 30 selling games to all be Switch titles in weeks without a big PS4/5 release.

bold is the important part. There is a good chance it will never come to PS now.

Let's see when Bungie's next title comes out.

Marathon is already confirmed for multiplatform.

I'm just glad there's an Oblivion remaster coming out before TES 6 (assuming the project wasn't canned): https://www.theverge.com/2023/9/19/2...ster-doom-xbox

[Venziir]

wasn't that before MS owned bethesda?

Probably, but again: money.

So why aren't any other recent releases on PS?

[Koriani]

Elder Scrolls VI probably won't be good and will disappoint. The company that made the beloved Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim games doesn't exist anymore.

I will say the fact that Starfield came out without the live-service or MCT bullshit (ala Fallout 76) - at least gave me hope that TES6 will just be the "standard TE game" and NOT a Fallout-76-conversion to live service.

I'm still concerned about it now, but just LESS concerned... =D.

[Steggy]

Oh hey, another Jtbrig MS rage thread, very cool. Anyway, no one should be surprised by this. It was bound to happen with their non-live service titles.
