September is not a shove out the door date. November/December is a shove out the door date.

Not really they wanted it out the door by Nov "at all costs"

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

The hype for a new BGS game is built in. It’s the most wishlisted game on Steam.

Regardless their plan is consistent with what they’ve done in the past. That is, do a big blowout at E3 and then launch a few months later. This showcase is the one that Todd goes into full Todd Howard mode.

I get that but recent BGS games have shown that the hype I'd not always warranted. I still imagine I'll like it, but the doubts are justified.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Does this mean that Forza comes first? Perfect.

This received a release date before Forza though.

 

[Lyrical]

There's plenty of off-screen game play in the B roll. The 'trailer' is just the release date announcement.

Did y'all just close the window after the release date popped up ?

We are 6 months away from release. They couldn’t whip up a 2 minute gameplay segment?

We have to scour B rolls for gameplay now?

Why? What do they have planned for November/December that you've heard.

 

[Fredrik]

Somebody with black belt in video editing, please attempt to fish out all the gameplay in the background and put together an unofficial new gameplay trailer!

Hyyyype intensifies

It's better than asking for game play in a cinematic release-date announcement trailer, no ?

They showed plenty of gameplay last time. There is a bit more here and they got a huge showcase for June. What more do you want?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Great news. I'm ready for some intergalactic space adventure. I really hope it has some of that Skyrim magic, with a wonderful world (or galaxy, in this case) to explore and fun quests to embark upon. And not too many bugs at launch.

"Plenty" That's generous. There's like 8 seconds of nothingness shown in a bland environment. It's fine though. I'm in it for the exploration aspect. Not the gameplay.

 

[SlimySnake]

Was hoping for summer, but hey whatever helps the dev team ship the game without having to kill themselves.

 

[The Cockatrice]

So its going to be delayed to March 2024. Got it.

 

[pasterpl]

We will get that in the deep dive on 11th of June.

HYPED

 

[acidagfc]

Finally!
Now start working on TESVI already!

 

[Gudji]

Nothing like a good offscreen footage to hide the bugs and other shit.

 

[GHG]

I don't get why they are only showing this stuff off-screen.

 

[Luipadre]

almost a year delay, still gonna be a mess at launch probably. Would've loved to play it during summer, oh well.

 

[Fredrik]

It’s not much but it’s something, thanks!

 

[Elitro]

Makes sense, Diablo 4 launches in June and Baldur's Gate 3 in August, they just didn't want to get their thunder stolen

 

[Lyrical]

We will get that in the deep dive on 11th of June.

I’m not asking for a deep dive now. I just think it’s really odd that they can’t show a few minutes of new gameplay to go alongside the announcement. Especially as the game is supposedly ready to launch in 6 months. Is that not fucking weird?

 

[Topher]

[SF Kosmo]

And yet they are announcing a date two months before that.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure these poor devs are crunching their asses off and I'm sure the game will have a usual amount of bugs and jank we expect from Bethesda, but I do think we'll be playing it on that day.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Doubt I'll have Baldur's Gate 3 finished by then.

 

[analog_future]

The fact that they still won’t show gameplay isn’t a good sign. Still I’m willing to give this a go.

They showed a lot of gameplay like a year ago.

 

[Lyrical]

They showed a lot of gameplay like a year ago.

Ah right so they’ve accomplished nothing since…..great.

 

[T4keD0wN]

I was a fool for thinking they can stick to their "everything releasing within the next 12 months promise"

As of right now I am 100% confident they will make the Sept release and I can't wait for this game even if it has a bug or two

 

[reksveks]

it does feel like that.

HYPED

This one does get me hyped

 

[Balducci30]

Wait why are people saying they’re not showing gameplay? You clearly see the game being played in the second half of the trailer

 

[BeardGawd]

3rd person. Ok, looks interesting to me now.

Yes Nice!!!

 

[DenchDeckard]

What does the competition have to do with Xbox?

Where's that avatar thread?

I may finally have to retire Hasan. It's been blessed, goodnight my sweet Prince.



Obsessed.

Looks like I took the bait and got the warning for it.

 

[Gaiff]

Go back under your bridge. Some of you motherfuckers ain't even trying.

 

[reksveks]

re: the delay, c'est la vie. when does Nvidia normally drop HW? I wondering if I got have an upgrade on the 3080 by then.

 

[KyoZz]

YES. Can't fuckin wait

 

[Mr Moose]

Someone just lost a bet.

 

[FBeeEye]

Perfect. I didn't see how it would release before June due to other studios releasing titles in March, April and May. This was a date selected by MS marketing department 100%. MS probably wants one tent pole title per month in 2023 and November probably belongs to Hellblade II.

Finally, we're starting to see MS first party hitting its stride. It was an excruciatingly long wait thanks to Covid and MS ditching cross gen development. Now it's time for people to go through the brief footage that we saw with a fine-toothed comb up until June. June is definitely going to be a block out my calendar and buy some snacks type of month between all the showcases and the Starfield event.

This is the ONLY game I'm looking forward to in 2023 and I'll probably buy the Collector's Edition.

 

[Lyrical]

Wow when you’re starved for this long you tend to act a little crazy.

 

[Sentenza]

Well, fuck. The plan was to play this while waiting for Baldur's Gate 3.

 

[dorkimoe]

Is this 60fps on series x? If not I’ll burn this forum down

Judging from the off screen it appears it is

 

[mansoor1980]

[Gaiff]

Wow when you’re starved for this long you tend to act a little crazy.

And here you are showing your true colors. Not that they weren't obvious to begin with.

 

[adamsapple]

Yes Nice!!!

Hmm, will this be the first modern Bethesda RPG better played in third person versus first person ? Let's see.

 

[analog_future]

Ah right so they’ve accomplished nothing since…..great.

What the hell do you think the Starfield Direct is for?

My god ya'll are dumb as rocks lol

 

[AV]

Ha, 3 days before my birthday and I'm away that weekend for... someone else's birthday.

He's a troll which is pretty obvious.
