Microsoft buying out Bethesda.

Won’t have our hands on this until at least 2024 IMO, they’re working on Starfield at the moment and that game is still way off.

Yep, thread creator was premature (sounds about right).
Staggering that Bethesda has staggered this sequel so much after the success of Skyrim.
It's almost as if they're taking their release timeline from GRR Martin.

I guess don't even think about this game at all until at least PS6/Xbox Series XOne Turbo 5000.

3 years after The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced, Todd Howard is thinking about making it
Howard said fans should still think of the new Elder Scrolls game as being in the "design" phase.

To cover their failure of a launch of Fallout 76 and it's horrible state. Purely a distraction tactic

If it comes out before 11 November 2026 I'll be surprised.
With not having to port the game to PlayStation, hopefully it'll debut quicker.I guess don't even think about this game at all until at leastPS6/Xbox Series XOne Turbo 5000.

With all that talk of the tech 'not even being available yet' maybe they want to implant the game directly into our brains? The ultimate cross-platforming!
Maybe the Microsoft courting was already on the cards as these deals take a lot of time. Bethesda wanted to pump up their price so did the tease so they can then add it to their forward projections even though the team "working" on it was probably the whole online team.
As much as Bethesda is rolling in money since signing exclusivity to Microsoft, I hope it bites them long term.
Salty that I wont get any new Fallout or Elder Scrolls now.

I reckon Bethesda are talking out their arse. There is no way they will not have a Playstation version at some point with the amount of money they will be missing out on if they don't.
Not Bethesda's decision. Microsoft own them now and the head of Xbox (Phil Spencer) has said Starfield and all of Bethesda's new catalogue (including ES 6) will be PC and Xbox only.
Think the only games Sony will get are Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo as we already had a contract in place.
It's a massive gamble but Bethesda chose to sign that huge contract and take the $7.5 billion so Xbox got these exclusives.

It’s definitely a calculated, but risky bet on such a household game. In terms of just consoles sold, PS has sold over 10 million units, with still such a large back order, whilst Microsoft won’t officially publish numbers it’s believed to be in the 4.5 million thus far. That’s a lot of potential players missing out on such an anticipated game. I think Microsoft are banking on this and a game like starfield or whatever it’s called to entice gamers to buy the other console at some point.
I would worry if it turned into some sort of bidding war for exclusivity. Can you imagine if Sony turned around and said **** it we know have all the rights to rockstar games, EA and Activision.

Sony have come out and said it doesn't believe in owning/buying developers and would rather buy the titles of games so developers can produce games for whoever they wish and gamers can have access to any developer made game.
The only thing Sony are looking at are making a pass like Xbox that combines PS now and PS plus.
Didn’t sony purchase housemarque recently as well as other developers?

Sony have gone and acquired mostly studios they already had exclusive publishing rights for so it won't look any different.
I did read today that Sony are planning their Game Pass alternative which is going to be needed. I think they were initially backing in the power of their brand over Microsoft, and while they have so far outsold the Series X/S it may be a completely different story by the end of the generation once a cycle or two of Microsoft's newly acquired developer's releases. Sony are banking on the huge budget cinematic experiences where it looks like Microsoft are going quantity which will be a huge selling point with Game Pass. Actual figures of consoles moved won't be truly indicative when they can now include anybody who has a Windows PC. My brother in law is a life long PlayStation diehard and he's recently hit me up for one of my old PCs so he can get in on the Game Pass action. So that won't be included in any Xbox sales figures, but he's now on the Xbox platform.
At the start I wasn't convinced Bethesda would sign up to something like an exclusivity deal, but as time has gone on and Microsoft's plan is becoming more apparent (playing the long game, incorporating console and Windows PC into a single platform, accelerating gaming to the digital age) I don't doubt Spencer now that Elder Scrolls, Starfield etc will be exclusive.

There’s 30 million game pass subscribers, by the time this game releases there’ll be many more, and I’d assume a lot of PS gamers will look for a way to get into the Xbox echo system just to play it, Microsoft & Bethesda will make a heap of money still.
And look, it makes sense for these Bethesda titles to be exclusive to Xbox as they’ve been hammered by Sony and their AAA line up over the past 6-7 years.

Microsoft is a 2 trillion dollar company, they're not fuss missing PS console owners, it's a long term goal.
Consoles sales isn't what MS are aiming for, it's long term continuous stream of money from subscription like their Office products now.
I did call it from the start it'll be exclusive, it's like Disney+ putting content on Netflix, it just won't happen.
Spencer have said recently that GP is already profitable with current numbers, it's only going to grow from here.

they've said straight up they will only put it on platforms that can run gamepass...
it's hard to tell though, I think they might put starfield and ES on playstation eventually just years and years later like how PS are putting some random games on PC atm

As a playstation owner I'd be happy with Mirosoft giving early-access release to its consoles with every Bethesda release, if they released to other platforms at a later date. It might even be an advantage to us who aren't xboxers as we might miss a lot of the earlier release/bug/patch cycle that seems to be happening more and more as games get more complex.

Of course you would, lol.
I'm sure they will too, when Sony start releasing all their exclusives on Xbox, at a later date of course.
Yeah, fair is fair.
