1) The flying was bad in playtests. "Creation Engine 2" is just a marketing slogan. It's just Creation Engine. They refactored the graphics modules of the engine and added a couple new
features, but it's not a complete rebuild or overhaul, That will be obvious as soon as the game launches. Modders will tear them to shreds. Todd internally said, "We make games, not
tools." The toolset is rusty, the content devs are sick of it. Building games on crap tools makes crap games.
2) Since Bethesda Game Studios Austin released Fallout 76 they have not been working on a new game.They had most teams on 76 support and DL content.
3) Until the acquisition BGS was releasing on all major platforms. XBox/MS wanted exclusives to compete .So all the games were slated for XB and PS. But cutting a platform removed a
few headaches. (this was with regards to whether a Playstation version was in development).
4) The source did not wish to make comments regarding The Elder Scrolls VI or Redfall

What is the source of this?
Edit: nothing of this seems like development hell to me tbh. It just sounds like your typical BGS game lmao

The "flying was bad" we got from Hevy008 on this very forum, who said it was subjective. Everything else seems like really easy to guess?

A random unverified twitter account is the source?

To be fair, didn't we hear recently that a journalist had heard devs on the project say it was in danger of being "the next cyberpunk"?

Source seems dubious but this game releasing half broken wouldn't surprise me even in the slightest.

Isn't this what the person that nuked their career in the Xbox OT said?

Just want to get inb4 this thread is closed.

This is complete nonsense - the first bulletpoint was from Era. Everything else is just baseless speculation or repackaging old info as new inside knowledge

Dunno how reputable the source is, they seem to have other people to back them up, but honestly all of that does sound on-par for a Bethesda game

You posted 4 points to say that it's in development hell but only one of these are any indication of development.

And the only point is that a mechanic is not finished and working well yet on a game that's still in development more than a year to release?

Source is obviously sketchy, but some points confirm what that Bethesda dev said a while ago. So, nothing particularly surprising

Dubious source aside, none of that sounds like a game in development hell. And I can't even remember the last BGS game that wasn't janky.

Development hell isn't being properly used. That's reserved for projects that will probably never see the light of day.
