huh.

What is he supposed to say? That he's neutral on the matter and has no feelings either way?
Because he's probably now one of the richest people in the industry.
That dude is rolling in so much cash right now.
Yo, Todd, pay off my mortgage and I'll stop saying the ways that Skyrim sucks compared to Morrowind.
Most controllers have bluetooth connectivity now. Just connects with the TV.
Yea but i dont think bethesda want to do that or is even able to do that. Bethesda probably planned deadloop for early 2021 with ghostwire being fall and 2022 starfield ect ect. I dont think bethesda wants to change that(their internal plans and projections) and the last thing MS wants is to rush todd howard, bc if they do todd will be gone before you can say "hello".
Besides that at the end of the day MS wants to recoop the cost ASAP and getting licencing cost from people who buy the ps5 timed exclusives will only help in that way.
Although i do really wonder how they will handle big games like elder scrolls and fallout from now on. TESV sols 30 million across multiple generations and keeping it to pc and xbox(gamepass) will probably cut that by a 2/3rds. I really dont mind if the big games also come to other platforms day and date. Oh well cant wait for my xbox.
It's not like Bethesda never released games close to each other. They released Dishonored, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and The Evil Within 2 in the Fall 2017. They'll release them when they're ready.
Nothing in that interview gave me the impression that Starfield is far away. They all were basically "wink-wink-we'll reveal it when the moment is right."
I've said yesterday that Bethesda and Microsoft have always been a bit like Square and Sony to me. You could feel the trust and friendship between these folks. I do hope that Bethesda not having to worry about sales anymore will enable teams like Arkane and Tango Gameworks to go wild in the future, too!
I know all four of these guys are crazy experienced with PR, spinning, etc. but this interview just feels genuine. Just four people discussing their passion and work experience together. Pretty cool.
If you are fine with the downsides of streaming video games, then you don't need to buy a console if you just want GamePass games!
Crazy to think someone could avoid it, I've played Skyrim on 360, PS3, PS4, PC, my toaster, fridge freezer, and oven.
They will most likely reveal it at E3 2021 and release it in the Fall.
No shit, eh? I still love the game, even though it just seems to keep popping up. The crazy thing about it is that I have wanted to get back into it, but with the absurd amount of mods that are available, I can never get the game to run right with the mods I want. I literally break the game minutes into starting it.

Lmao yet another bogus reason that people in that thread were claiming would be the reason why the games touched outside of Xbox/PC/Streaming debunked. Glad we have confirmation that having content for gamepass >>>> sales
Major Nelson Fun Fact: I used a urinal next to him at a work event once. He didn't wash his hands afterwards going to the bathroom.

That's because his junk is spotless and everything he touches is instantly cleaned by his excellence.
I hear you, but that's the language they use to talk about Xbox now in general. It's used to sell Game Pass, cloud, PC, etc.
I get this is different than past acquisitions, but at some point when these studios are fully integrated into Xbox, I just don't see what differentiates their output from a Playground or Obsidian that means they would somehow make it onto PlayStation when other first party games do not.
You really gonna do him like that lol
He post in this thread... /dead
2021 release wouldn't surprise me. I don't think Sony would have been negotiating exclusivity if it was super far out.
I dropped by this thread and imagine my surprise to see it go this way.
Fun Fact and for the record: this (disgusting) claim is false

Never stop. They must here us all before the next elder scrolls!
Jesus. Thanks for posting major. It was fun interview. You know we all have about million questions about this buyout right? Lol
Don't even need to bother going on the record, man!
For what it's worth I enjoyed the interview and would like to see more candid interviews with your developers like this. Todd is a great guy to listen to go on about the old days. I could listen to discussion about Morrowind for hours (please remaster Morrowind) :)
Hell, I'd settle for the existing X enhancements along with integrating all the unofficial bug fixes from PC and 16:9 support.
Yeah, you used the urinal next to him so he obviously felt the need to get away from you as quickly as possible.
lolll. Oh my, the context truly makes it better. "On my wrist issss" is definitely pure gold.
