Bethesda has become formulaic, with the elements of gameplay virtually the same amongst titles. Same across the board really, not much genre-defying for quite a while.
Outer Worlds, Fallout, and so on just differ by visuals and story, the general jist is all samey samey. No innovation. No just single series but across the estate. Nothings been as good as Fallout 3 & Skyrim, just repetitions and echoes of greatness.
Is this a good purchase for MS? Maybe, if it's for tech, IP, and bringing talent on board. Hopefully they'll add some originality in game play elements, not just reskinning.
- Trasmatta 6y agoBethesda also includes id and Arkane. Arkane's games in particular are incredibly unique and well designed. There's still a lot of innovation happening under the Bethesda umbrella, even if Fallout and Elder Scrolls are stale.
- Tsiklon 6y agoThe Outer Worlds was by Obsidian (founded by former Black Isle developers), and was unrelated to Bethesda’s games. Now of course with this announcement Obsidian and Bethesda are sister studios.
- antonyh 6y agoReally? I can hardly tell the difference in gameplay elements, so I thought them to be the same.
- ben_e 6y agoOuter Worlds and Fallout come from two different developers.
- antonyh 6y agoPerhaps staff crossed over between the two companies?
- scollet 6y ago> Nothings been as good as Fallout 3 The irony is beyond my mortal understanding, but NV certainly flagships the IP today, behind maybe 2. Both different developers.
