Bethesda: "Big culture change at Sony"; not the same folks from years

source

Given Skyrims troubled history on PlayStation 3, we asked Hines if the decision to make The Elder Scrolls Onlines beta available first on PS4 was an olive branch to PlayStation gamers.

It wasnt intended that way, Hines told us. It was more just that when we were talking to the Sony guys, they were super excited about what were doing and what we can do together. They wanted to be big part of this. Theres been a big culture change at Sony. The folks that are there now, that we work with, are not the folks that we were working with a year or two ago. Guys like Adam Boyes and the team that hes put together on the third-party side which is who we interact with I think are being super proactive at reaching out to us. Theyre saying, we love your games. I played Skyrim for 200 hours. I want to do more with you guys. What do you have going on?' Honestly, Adam was like, 'when can I come out and see everything that youre making? I want to see everything youre doing. Nobody had ever asked us that before. So just that dynamic is a little different.

Adam Boyes is amazing.

Cool to hear.  Its nice to know that these guys are truly passionate about games beyond it simply being a business.

It kind of bothers me that you stopped trying.  I'm sure you'll catch a mad cow in your trap, but still.

I'm not holding my breath.

Bethesda and Sony just don't mix.

Makes sense, it is a rad pic.  I'd make it my profile pic if I were him.

Would be cool if ESO was on PS4 as well and later Elder Scrolls games will be "better" than their last efforts with Skyrim on the PS3.

Adam sounds like a cool and very enthusiastic guy about his products and making his costumers happy with his products; sounds like my kind of guy to be working in the gaming industry.

Yes Sony has been very western-centric in their aproach with the PS4. This new focus on the western markets is definitely going to pay off for Sony.

No wonder Elder Scrolls looked terrible if it was coming to consoles.

They still make the most glitchiest games i've ever played, i mean honestly it's like the games don't even get play tested first lol. Skyrim froze on me 3 times just at the beginning of the game. 

Because they are dying and going bankrupt.
