Jason is one of the few that has a reliable track record tho.

Schreier: Starfield release date "way later" than most people expect [Up: Hearing a date in 2022]
- Thread starter Bigkrev
- Start date
He's not lying. The game has been in development for years, as he said. It's typical for AAA companies to have a small team of folks brainstorming and prototyping for future projects as the rest are finishing the next one. Full production is a different story.
I really wouldn't be surprised about that at all. It'll then spill over into the next generation.
I said it's planned for way later than most people expect!
Anyone using this needs to remember folks with MS info went back n forth on Lockhart.
Other ppl with reliable info did too.
Using that as any metric isnt good.
I'll say this, like I said about another person with info...
Even if I dont agree with it, they are usually spot on.
Considering this full production includes a new game engine (or a heavily modified one), I am assuming it would just increase the development time by quite a large margin, would that be in the correct ballpark?
This isn't surprising at all. I said it in a past thread: reports Microsoft wanted the game to come out this year aren't the same as reports Bethesda thought it would be ready to come out this year. Microsoft wanted Halo to come out last year, that wasn't ready either so it didn't happen.
This was just one of many rumors I've seen about the game coming this year. I retweeted that one but haven't even been able to keep track of them all.
You're not saying things I want to hear, but I appreciate you doing it. Keep up the great work!
To be fair, that logo was shown three years ago. So it's fair to assume that the development at least has come along way since
Hey Jason, I know that you have explicitly said that don't have any expectations in terms of game releases and announcements for 2021 and likely into 2022. Are you excited for anything for E3 that may possibly be there? I personally am not expecting much but just interested if you may be excited for see a few things.
Ah fair play. I've avoided a lot of them since I've always assumed this wasn't coming out for a bit.
Even worse, people were believing that the game was already done for a year and they were just sitting on it for polishing.
Given your tweets that apparently there is a specific date already being targeted, do you think that they will be explicit about the date in E3, even if its far away and has a high likelyhood of a delay given everything?
EDIT: I see you have clarified it on twitter, thanks.

The drama continues. And you're going to get people now believing it will release January 1st 2022, midnight launch after this news.
"Keep expectations in check" should be the slogan of Xbox events.
I mean, I really do hope they pull some surprises out on E3. So, yeah, these are my expectations. But lately, we've been hearing about 'don't expect this' and 'don't expect that' - if the highlight of the event is Evil Within 2 coming to Game Pass or something….
Anyway, I'm fine with 2022 for Starfield, as long as it's not, like, December.

Citizen is a game to fund Chris Roberts & family ad vitam aeternam. It doesn't need a release date.
What do you think the chances of BGS hitting that internal date are?
Right, but while I'll have to try and dig up the quote, I'm fairly certain Todd during one interview says (or at least strongly implies) something like 'it's been full-steam' since Fallout 4 DLCs or w/e - hence the disconnect between that statement and yours regarding production not starting til 2019.
Mayhap I'm misremembering tho.
i really didnt see that many people believing it was coming 2021 but ymmv
They've had to because of this dumb trend for unrealistic expectations. People hype themselves up with almost no grounds to do so, then blame them for not delivering. No wonder they temper expectations.
I actually saw quite a few people saying 2021, at least up until maybe a week ago. Then it shifted to early 2022 which still seems to be earlier than whats being indicated by Jason.
I mean with updated features like climbing ladders opening endless possibilities of gameplay it was only a matter of time this got pushed back a few years to take advantage of this modern feature..
Unless they expand with staff, I don't see the next Elder Scrolls happening until the end of the generation. Where does that leave post game support for Starfield? The gap between titles is just massive and will be interesting if Microsoft remains ok with this.

The 'conversation' was basically echoing/updating with whatever Grubb +/- one or two other leakers were saying, so that tracks, lol.
i remember one person saying it could come in 2021 and mostly everyone else saying "yeah lol sure jan"
My expectations are "do at least half of what Sony did on their event 11 friggin months ago, and I'll be happy". Release date for Halo. Actual gameplay trailers for a few upcoming games.
Is this unrealistic? I don't know, but that's what I'm expecting. I don't want another hour-long ad for Game Pass or Bethesda.
You gotta love the fact that Jason is blacklisted from Bethesda and he still tried to keep people's expectations in check in regards with the lead up to Fallout 76 and now a possible release date with Starfield, lol.
Anyways, I was team early 2022 but now If it releases by Fall 2022 I'll be pleaseantly surprised.

This is obviously disappointing, but expected. I don't have an XSX or PC (yet), but Bethesda has a special place in my heart for Oblivion and Morrowind (and lesser extend Skyrim). Hopefully we see some gameplay because I am interested in seeing what they have cooking. I want to see if Bethesda is returning to form.
The positive is more time in the oven should mean a higher quality product. I prefer Starfield to take as much time as it needs to properly blow us all away. There is added pressure with being a platform exclusive so I am sure Xbox is willing to give them as much time as they need.

The quote is "way later". Which, to me, would be a difference of years and not months.
Well, GTA 6 is at least on development. I don't think we can say the same about TES6.
