@GunEye: Reality said that when Todd Howard confirmed this will not be out until after Starfield is released for next generation hardware, and I hope I don't need to explain to you that Todd Howard and his team won't be releasing three AAA games all within a year for different generations. You are attempting to say "I told you so" to people when your rationale for making your original assumption is the complete antithesis to the logic behind why it was actually announced, which was to tell fans that Bethesda recognizes what they're excited for and how long they've been waiting and to let them know that they're going to have to wait until the next generation for it.
@Barbowan: Everything you just wrote was either completely wrong, ignored reality, or agreed with my comments. Congratulations on spending so much time simply to prove and reinforce my own points.
@Barbowan: Blame their investors and basic business principles. By hyping everyone up for Starfield and TES VI right now they would effectively be cannibalizing their sales of Fallout 76 as consumers shift focus to their other games. It's selfish to believe they should do that simply to please you. At the same time they want to demonstrate that they are thinking about their fanbase by making an announcement about games that many people want to see. Let's not pretend that you and everyone else wouldn't be complaining if they had shown nothing. Stop whining and find something more important to do with your time.
Does Bethesda have multiple teams/directors working on Fallout 76, Starfield, and TESVI or are the developers for each the same by a majority? Educated guesses are welcome for any unknown information.
@csward: And some people have the mental capacity to recognize when they are wasting their time on a game with absolutely no depth in any regard. Open a book or watch a TV drama series for an exponentially more intellectually stimulating experience.
@jyml8582: You realize that Walmart sells games, right? You also know they probably wouldn't advertise games that they haven't confirmed to sell, right? So what do you think that means when they start advertising a game as being for sale and up for pre order? Do you understand logic or did your 5th grade education never get that far?
