FromSoftware never claimed Elden Ring to be the next best thing since sliced bread. Huge huge difference. They showed their game without the hyperbole.

In terms of marketing Starfield is keeping it a lot closer to that model than to the marketing blitz hype machine of something like Cyberpunk. I mean the game is 7 months out and we still haven't seen a single screenshot of actual gameplay. There is a very calculated decision to keep this game under wraps until LATE.
But you can also tell there's a lot of confidence behind this one. These comments made by a dev aren't part of the marketing hype cycle. Nor are the rumors that this game sparked a bidding war between Sony and MS that led to the buyout. That stuff isn't hype but it all speaks to the fact that the people behind this game are VERY confident it's going to make a big impression once they pull back the curtain.
Until then, none of us can really say, but I would be surprised if it's completely just smoke.

Out of all the confirmed games coming out this year, this is the highest profile one and we haven't had a new primary Bethesda RPG in so long now.

I honestly can't get "hyped" pre-release for really anything anymore unfortunately after so many fails. Rather just wait and see what the finished product is and see if they can actually deliver before allowing them to fuck me in the ass with their marketing speak for months.

I may be missing the meme, is this game intended to be released this year?
I see a ton of posts with folks that are saying this will be a contender for GOTY but I cannot find a listing on GameStop, BestBuy, or Amazon.
What gives?

It’s quality is unknown as always with unreleased games with too little content, but it’s a huge release and the first new IP by Bethesda in 25 years. It’s by far my most anticipated release this year. Can’t wait to see gameplay!

Whelp, I didn't check Steam my bad.
Thanks for the info!
Since its MS First Party and on gamepass they would still plan to release physical for XBX and XBS, right?

The sequel to the game that won Game of the generation is coming.
You can't get more high profile than that.

Why not, is there something wrong with that? It's mine too.
BotW 2 is delayed. Was never really into the last GoW (couldn't finish it).

If you're talking about god of war, it doesn't have a date yet.

It's Bethesda. You KNOW it's gonna be buggy and incomplete at launch. That's how they roll.
Fredrik

Oh yeah no doubt about that, I bet they’ll do all kinds of cool collector’s editions as well.
I’m just a cheap ass Gamepass leech though.

At this point I'm guessing they're waiting for E3 to do a big blowout. Stinks, but in line with what Bethesda has done in the past.

Incomplete?
There RPGs are buggy at launch partly because they are so massive. Some of the games w/ the broadest scope in history.

Just STFU and release the game.
FROM did it and let the product speak for itself.

the scope of the game is not an excuse for releasing a broken product.
Frankly, it's quite naive to think otherwise given Bethesda awful track record.

The higher the complexity of any software the greater chance for bugs. With the massive world w/ persistent objects (you can leave a sword in a chest in Skyrim and come back to it 100 hours later and it's there), the massive branching storylines, the fact you can kill NPCs that would be involved in missions, etc. while not an "excuse" is not something anyone being rational should ignore.
But to call the games incomplete (unless you just mean haven't been QA'd enough) is just sort of ridiculous. That's why I brought up how huge and complex they are.
The complexity of their games, and how much I love what it does for them, is why I am more patient with Bethesda than other companies. Also I am a PC gamer and have just never had big issues with them in the first place.
Things like the PS3 version of Skyrim are just sort of unforgivable though I agree w/ that, and they deserve tons of criticism for that and other things. Not saying they don't.

they like to hate Bethesda because its the "cool thing to do", mostly. Some critisicm is usually granted as always but yeah, you know how it is

I don't remember one where he said we're going to lose our minds with his game.

I've already been welcomed a thousand times by the devs in that weird video but thanks for welcoming me again.

edit: Just to be clear I'm looking forward to it, it's just that the developer so far has had a questionable way of creating hype for the game.

Amazing lack of, what is it again, ah yes, concern for showing so little. So selective, so ironic.
Not that one should be concerned, even if at bare bones being just Skyrim in space, that is what some want, and it will do well on that merit alone. Personally, I want a little more and something a bit more fresh from them (not to be confused with innovative) added mechanics wise, than that same old Fallout/Skyrim formula in new paint.
Thinking we should get it this time, hopefully.

Nah. Your comment wasn’t about the usual Bethesda launch bugs. You specifically said it was going to be like Cyberpunk 2077 level of disaster.

Nothing that the developers of Star Citizen showed has wowed me. For the past 11 years of active development, we are still seeing only snippets of broken gameplay. I have more faith in Bethesda to actually deliver.

People talking about how we haven’t seen Starfield yet and it’s 7 months out, but what about Redfall? That suppose to be in the summer! June E3 and launch the same day perhaps?

It usually is just one dev saying these things about their game and gaming media running with these quotes.
We are told to be excited for this game having seen what, a few snippets of gameplay and a bunch of artwork.
Cyberpunk taught many a lesson about hype for games until its out. Devs can be excited for their work. I don't deny them that but when it comes to game releases nowadays its a case wait and see and keeping my hype in check until the game is out.
I'm not falling for this 'bestest game ever' shit.

No one cares about Redfall. It's 2022's Bleeding Edge.

Nobody cares about your opinion. I’m interested in the game so u can move around

I'm almost guaranteeing that game isn't coming out in the summer window. Either Q4 2022 or Spring 2023.

That's fine, but you asked why no one is talking about Redfall. Given the silence it's most likely been delayed. And the teaser didn't really show much to get people excited. Hell, if it's good I'll check it out, but right now I couldn't care less.
