A new obsidian fallout game is something fans have been wanting for years, but yes, not like this. My Xbox is basically an expensive 4k Blu-ray player and that's it

Every time Bethesda warms over one of their old titles, people get angrier because it breaks everything, haha.

Really puts a damper on the whole thing and makes it feel so forced.

It's going to be hard to trust Xbox going forward. "We've seen studios driven into the ground by hands off management... we're going to try huge layoffs, forced PR, and micromanagement next."

This feels like the only correct take on today's news IMO

Yeah and it’s all so obvious that they should been doing this a decade ago go so all these games could be out by now. I guess 2032 will be cool if they can get there

Gives off "please ignore the inferno behind us" energy

and its gonna be a by the numbers pile of crap that takes no risks with the fallout name slapped on

You look at the math on Fallout 5 and that's, what, a 2040something game?

Yeah the whole announcement feels real out of touch after what has literally just happened (and will continue happening through the year). Yeeesh.

They had just released a bunch of trailers for studios they knew they were killing. I think even the rubes are gonna have a hard time squaring that circle.

My only response : my thoughts to the affected Bethesda Game Studio devs, who put so much effort in those games for such a long time.

the only thing more embarrassing than their desperate attempts to drum up any positive pr is the fact that some people actually just happily lap it up

Wait, so I'm confused. Do all of the layoffs at Xbox mean that leadership doesn't have a plan? Or is them announcing parts of the plan a cover up for the layoffs and the fact that they don't actually have a plan?

Good chance that by the time all of these games are out, Xbox doesn’t even look the same as it does right now.

I have seen people still complain that the Oblivion remaster is still buggy today & it makes quite a contrast for those giddy for the Fallout remasters.

I have never been sadder to hear about a New Vegas remake. Any other point that would have been so exciting but now im like Christ it must suck at Bethesda.

I was nodding and agreeing when you mentioned it on the Podcast. Anything to get folks to look away from the dumpster fire that's been XBOX this year.

This is less important than the awful layoffs but it’s also frustrating not knowing where these games will even end up. If I have a PS5 can I even expect to have access to these now that Microsoft owns the studio? Probably not.

Happiness is letting go of Fallout. The good games are still right there where we left them, whatever new skinner box Bethesda releases with a Vault Boy sticker slapped on the side is none of my business.
