RIP Bethesda.
- syshum 6y agoHonestly it is hard for me to see how Microsoft can ruin Bethesda any worse than ZeniMax was already.... the new Doom was ok, but the new Fallout was TERRIBLE, as with many other recent Bethesda ventures...
- Covzire 6y agoIt's not looking good for another TES or FO game unless they're already very well under development. EA has taught the industry that mega corps are where IP goes to die a long, slow, cash-cow squeezing death. I'm actually more disappointed in ZeniMax/Bethesda. In my mind, there is absolutely no possibility that Bethesda will ever produce another game on the level of FO3/NV now because corps do what corps do which is A/B test and second guess every decision until the product is a flavorless lump.
- Trasmatta 6y agoI would say the new Doom was much more than okay. One of the best playing FPS's I've played. And everything that Arkane makes is gold.
- weeeeelp 6y agoTo add to the parent here, Doom was made by id Software, which generally has a huge history of making very good FPS games. I'm certain they were given a lot of leeway from the producer. Arkane's 2016 Prey was just amazing... shame so few immersive sims get made anymore.
- syshum 6y agoOne thing that confused me, is the Announcement says MS is acquiring Doom IP, but from what I can tell they are not acquiring id Software, so how is that going to work?
- Trasmatta 6y agoThey're acquiring Zenimax, and Zenimax owns id software. So id is part of the deal.
- syshum 6y agoThat makes more sense, I now have read the MS Statement it was more Clear than the one I read earlier that made it seem like they were only buying Bethesda from ZeniMax not buying all of ZeniMax...
- emptyfile 6y agoAre you joking? What could Microsoft ever do that's as bad as Fallout 76?
