The one non nonsense bit is probably the quake reboot part lol
I could also see the remakes happening but not sure if they would have inxile do it. Might partner with another studio to do it.
InXile is making their own stuff why would they work on ES. Fallout 1-2 remasters… sure maybe? But idk how many people would actually care for those in current year as a 2D isometric game. Idk.
I mean, there's no shame in doing support work/remasters. It wasn't beneath The Coalition or Turn 10 to provide support on Halo or FH; why would it be beneath InXile to make a remaster? Unlike Turn 10 and The Coalition, InXile has never even made an AAA game, so it's weird to say it would be beneath them to make remasters of some of the most beloved and biggest gaming IPs in the world.
It's beneath them to work on SOMEONE ELSE's remaster or remake (in my opinion, of course). The Coalition and 343 worked on their own, so it's a bit different, and Turn 10 has always operated as both the stewards of Forza and the occasional support studio (Undead Labs is also heading in this direction). If anyone makes remasters of the modern Fallouts and TESs, it should be BGS. They have the resources, whereas InXile doesn't.
I am not sure I buy that - alot of job postings we see for games from an established media franchise aren't described in that way. They'd leverage the pull of the existing franchise in the posting: "We're hiring for a brand new AAA title in an established global multi-media franchise" or something akin to that
I hear you. That's why I think Fallout 1 and 2 is the only way this makes sense. I can't see InXile remastering Fallout 3 or Morrowind, or whatever.
Just sayin'
That could be a stretch, certainly. And all of those games being BC with upgrades might call into question the need to spend money on rereleases, so perhaps the focus could be on the older, harder to play titles. But I do think Brian would be into it.
Quake reboot seems very likely as a next step from Doom finishing. Unless they want new IP.
It definitely sounds like Sony planned on burying Xbox at the start of this gen. Thankfully that didn't work out.
I agree that it would make sense for InXile to remaster Fallout 1-2. I agree that InXile wouldn't remaster BGS games, but not because it's beneath them. I don't believe InXile are capable of doing it. I'm not sure even BGS would be able(or willing) to do it in-house. At this point, remaking Oblivion and Morrowind would be close to creating a new open world game from scratch, and InXile has neither the experience of building 3d open world games nor the knowledge of Bethesda's tools nor the resources to pull it off. So yeah, it's a BS rumor.
It was basically randomly confirmed yesterday by the sound director in the dev video.
Maybe answer this question then:
If you don't care about NDAs.
Are you happy about the stuff you worked on the game? :) Which would be characters, I guess.
Doubt it. And they definitely do carry on as you say. My friends that worked on DeS Remake talked about how strict Sony's NDA is. It's like the fear of god put in to them. I lived with a BP employee and wasn't allowed near the devkit and didn't see a peep of the game even after announcement.
Still feels a bit strange for them to talk about it this openly lol.
Sorry for bothering you but I'm a bit curious. Was there any other game you worked on or knew about while at BGS other than Starfield?
How terrible is flying? Should we be worried about it impacting the final product?
Sounds great! Hope they can nail down the feel of the ship in the coming months. One last question, can you land your ship by yourself on the planets or is it more like a cutscene that plays when you want to land somewere?
It will be titled "Starfield's engine is "Terrible", flying "Does not feel great"
The vibe I get as well. They also talk a lot about Redfall and said really generic things that has all been confirmed or heavily implied. Also I'm not a dev but I'm not sure how much a character artist is going to be QAing multiple games at BGS?
