They should have had another studio develop a New Vegas style Elder Scrolls game to hold us over. I guess that's what ESO is for but having an Elder Scrolls game divided into locked off zones doesn't interest me... and a lot of people, I assume.
If Fallout 4 taught me anything
It's that BGS doesn't learn lessons
No way Starfield is 2022 when Todd said he didn't know if Starfield would launch on current gen consoles or next gen consoles. You wouldn't say that about a 2022 game. Starfield is coming in 2020 or 2021 at the latest.
But we got three different new remasters of Skyrim!

Yeh, exactly. No chance TESVI comes out any time soon.
Honestly I'm fine with this, TESO is still getting updated. By the time TESVI comes out, we'll be near the end of this coming gen. I'm more curious as to how Starfield fares considering it's the next 'real' BGS game following Fallout 4.
One-per-gen only started this gen though. I mean, I can kind of understand why Zenimax encouraged Battlecry to develop Fallout 76 and made sure Todd was everywhere to present it. Last gen Todd gave them Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim, and outsourced New Vegas to Obsidian. This gen they had Fallout 4 and then Todd asked for his next game to be a brand new IP for next gen consoles.I'm not surprised. Playing through Red Dead Redemption 2, and the sheer size, scope, and detail is insane. I can see why we only get one of these types of games per generation.
The work that goes into these games is insane.

That's gonna be out at the same time or a year after Starfield imo.
I'm waiting till Starfield comes out to make that judgement.
Couldn't agree more. I wish Bethesda would stop making Fallout games and just focused on the IPs they created themselves. They clearly put a lot more effort into their TES games and sounded a lot more excited about Starfield than FO4 or FO76. They should give Fallout to Arkane and focus on TES and Starfield.I don't know many people that wouldn't trade every single Fallout game for a new Elder Scrolls one. I say end that franchise now, especially after 76 and go back to making ES games (that will ultimately require doesn't of mods to actually be any good).
Not sure why you think they aren't excited about Fallout. It was Todd's dream IP. He was throwing around ideas for a new series to create to go along with TES, and his ideas were so similar to Fallout that Zenimax just went ahead and bought the Fallout IP for him so he could have his dream. Maybe that passion has since died, but then Todd's team didn't really make 76 - that was Battlecry. And with Starfield and TES6 in the pipeline, a potential Fallout 5 is literally a decade away. Plenty of time for both Bethesda and its fans to get excited for the IP again on the PlayStation 6.Couldn't agree more.

I watched a lot of BGS devs interviews about FO4 and FO76, and the excitement they expressed about them seemed forced compared to the way they talk about TES and Starfield. And giving the IP to another BethSoft studio wouldn't be a bad thing, I think Arkane is a good fit for Fallout. That way we wouldn't have to wait 15 years between single-player TES games. It's just ridiculous.Not sure why you think they aren't excited about Fallout. It was Todd's dream IP.

I honestly can see a scenario when TES6 doesn't even make next gen.
I think they've said in the past they don't want to outsource TES spinoffs because it's their baby, unlike Fallout. How TESO factors into this mindset, I'm not sure.
They really should have at least had a B team to support Skyrim in the long term with more official content updates.
isn't Switch also the remastered version from PS4?But we got three different new remasters of Skyrim!

Yeah.
No way BGS releases 2 AAA single player rpgs 2 years apart. Best case scenario ES:6 is 3 years after Starfield.I think Bethesda will want to replicate Oblivion's success by launching Starfield in the first year of the new consoles. I think it'll launch anywhere between April and November 2021.
TES VI will be 2023.
We still need to see Starfield, and then TESVI will enter full development. Minimum 3 years, probably 5 or more.I have never thought about that but this whole generation passed without an original single player The Elder Scrolls and I believer we are at least 2 years away from a new one.
Do you guys believe Bethesda can still delivery a great game?

I don't understand that kind of thinking. The last single-player game Bethesda made won numerous GOTYs (I don't care for Fallout 4 or Fallout IP in general, but I can't deny it). The game BGS made before FO4 is still the RPG most open worlds games are compared to even nearly a decade later. FO3, Oblivion and Morrowind were critically acclaimed too. Why can't BGS suddenly make a great game? Because of FO76 that was largely made by another studio (Battlecry studio)? Let's wait until Starfield before claiming such a thing.Sadly I have to agree.
We will get great games from id Software, MachineGames, Arkane Studios, but Bethesda Game Studios? Nah.

The fact that their last good game was released 9 years ago doesn't mean anything when they released just one single player game since then (a game that is very popular and critically acclaimed, no matter what you and I think about it).In my opinion they haven't made a good game since Skyrim, and even that wasn't very remarkable in certain aspects.
Their last good game released 9 years ago, so I'm not very optimistic right now.
I'm also not fond of some of their business and development descisions.
