They already did that with Skyrim.

>>386351312
playing, not paying

People from Fallout 4, Skyrim, Doom, Wolfenstein etc. Only new games with cool people normies recognize.
It'd be a cold day in hell before nu-Beth acknowledged New Vegas or Morrowind existed.

>>386351224
I've seen Skyrim at E3 for like 4 fucking years straight now

if that's not keeping people playing I don't know what is

But they do. Neloth makes an appearance in Solstheim, you get to meet Jiub in the Soul Cairn, and both mention the Nerevarine.

>>386351932
Robot
It's a doctor robot

>>386351224
You've got nothing to worry about Todd. I'll keep buying all of your games and your remasters and all the accompanying DLC.

>>386352153
>See that Payload? You can push it

>>386351224

BJ, Doomguy, Corvo, The Courier etc...

I'd be down with that.

Maybe it could be expanded to become the Smash Bros of the FPS genre.

>>386351224
Bethesda absolutely couldn't make a game like overwatch because the one thing they are completely incapable of creating is a memorable character.

>>386351632
No doomguy?

>>386352476
Every gamer knows Ulfric Stormcloak

>>386352476
A vast majority of OW characters are either tropes that have been done hundreds of times before (a stereotypical samurai, an intelligent monkey, a fat bruiser, a grizzled cowboy, a hacker with counterintuitive glowing clothes, etc.) or just fapbait. Not saying Bethesda characters are even close to being as good, but people really overestimate the quality of Blizzard characters.

>>386352205
Huh, what? I'm just an independent gamer.

Why is bethesda so obsessed with this ?

>>386352742
this is just a pc cuck from rpg codex trying to shit on bethesda, with their hate boner. they arent looking for actual discussion they spam this thread 15 times a day and fucking never learn, discuss, or progress in understanding why their flimsy shit franchise got whored to death

>>386352742
Using tropes or making stereotypical characters does make them memorable though. Straying too far from that kind of design will often make characters forgettable.

Stereotypical doesn't always mean bad.

>>386352742
Tracer's been the best character design in years, pal.

>>386352476
Vivec
Ulfric
Sheo

>>386352858
Because if your game becomes a platform for content you can milk it for years by just adding new shit every couple of months and balance patching it every once in a while instead of having to build an entire new game to sell.

>>386352858
Steady income so you don't have to keep betting everything on a game that could potentially flop.

Higher profitability as DLC/MOBA style content takes less work for it's price.

Keeps players invested into your franchise and brand.

Constant ability for cross-promotion to encourage them to buy your other games.

Potential to introduce gatcha/loot box model which is the current golden ticket.

I could go on...

>>386352858
Are you really wondering why a dev would want people to want to play their game?

>>386352858
So they don't have to keep making games. The true fun is DLC design.

>>386353309
They want to make a game where you can play it indefinitely with no real end.

Bethesda will turn into Valve and Rockstar soon. They'll stop making single-player games and focus on multiplayer service type games.

What would the gamemodes be?
>Race to see which team can clear their bandit cave first

>>386353443
Why do game developers hate singleplayer now?

>>386353907
Less money in story based games

>>386353426
If that is the case the Creation Club makes more sense.
Just make Daggerfall type game have a MMO style major release on a yearly basis with CC and minor updates to fill the gap.

It is a decent business model.

>>386353168
Like WoW

>>386353472
I would play that

>>386353907
First of all it's a big gamble, if you can't make an attractive title you're basically fucked considering the development cost of modern games. This probably wouldn't be a problem for established brands such as Valve though.

Secondly, even if you hit it out of the park and a lot of people buy your game initially, the window of income is pretty short - especially nowadays when the attention span of the industry is so short. Just think of all the overhyped games that have come and gone just recently.

Multiplayer games might not kick off as strong as a good singleplayer title, but the window for income can be much longer and more stable. Companies like stability, to calculate monthly costs and income rather than a huge explosions of income followed by nothing.

>>386351405
>Fallout 4 has references to New Vegas
>Skyrim has references to Morrowind

really makes you think.

>>386354020
If you look at the trend of "Games as a Service" where devs keep pushing out new-periodic updates for one game, well, that really is not a far-fetched idea

>>386355013
>Fallout 4 has references to New Vegas
Name 5

>>386353072
She's not even the best in Overwatch though.

>>386351224
>I wish we could make a game that kept people playing

Todd Skyrim came out 6 years ago and it's still one of the most played games on Steam, what more can you want?

>>386357375
The top spot.
If you aint the lead dog the view never changes.
All you see is the asshole in front of you.

Bethesda's already working on one, I think it was announced before Overwatch. Had a weird steampunk/cowboy style, we saw it at E3 a few years ago.

oh, and Quake Champions.

>>386356748
I think House is mentioned once. And in the kidnappers memory section they have F2 .

>>386358694
Don't forget the Hubologists

>>386351476
>Bethesda MOBA

If it has Vivec and Pelinal then I'd play it.

What happened to Elder Scrolls Online

>>386359274
The console launch saved it.
It is doing well now.

>>386359663
Then why doesn't Todd remember it exists?

>>386359737
Kuhlman meets with the writers to make sure they don't step on Bethesda's toes and don't go to far off script.

Other than that Bethesda has little to do with ESO.
