It's crazy to think MS has bought so many studios to get out of the Halo / Gears / Forza rut and the two big games they got coming this year is Halo and Forza. It never ends.

Even worse is we have to tolerate Xbox influencers on Twitter hyping up Starfield for two more years.

Yeah but if it is holiday 22 then the "nowhere near done" is not correct. This Jason guy has been making a lot of statements recently and they've not been the most reliable have they? Remember the 343 dev?

Issue is they had those studios already in development for those games long before, so they may have other things to start project wise. But have to finish these before they can go into full production.

People have been expecting it to be this year or early 2022 and that it's just in a bug fixing phase.
in that context If it's actually fall 2022, then yeah, it's nowhere near done yet. He's still said himself that the plan is 2022
What has he gotten wrong? He got blacklisted by bethesda pricesly because he's accurate with these leaks

Yeah I know. These things take time but damn Phil has been in charge for awhile now and he still can't get away from the Xbox trinity of games. We just had a Gears expansion heading right into Halo and Forza.

How could you possibly know this? Or are you just making shit up?

The 343 dev debunked what he was saying regarding work practices.

That would mean the game is nearing the end of development, it's probably Q4 2022 at the earliest.

Late 2022 or 2023 release by the sounds of it.

Work practices and stuff about the culture are just subjective. You'll get different answers depending on who you ask. Why I don't pay attention to it.
When it comes to the game's themselves? His track record is spot on. He's leaked both Fallout 4 and 76. I don't see this being any different

I'm gonna say right now this Jason guy is full of it. It doesn't make sense to show it this year if it's so way off.

Don't Bethesda normally release games at 50% done and try to fix it 4 years down the line? So, what's the problem?
Regardless, that means ES6 isn't coming out till at least 2026.

XBox needs to build hype.
Microsoft can't be establishing an image of "We do lower quality GamePass type games. Sony does big exclusives."
It makes perfect sense that they'd show this game off early.

I don't think anyone really expected this game this year.

"Starfield's team was very small until 2019"

I think they can still show something from the game even if it’s coming Fall 2022.
But I guess the big question now is what capacity will the game be shown at E3 in? Is it gonna be a full-blown CGI trailer, in-engine or gameplay running on Series X?

You could be right but they should have a lot of games to show anyway, surely the best thing to do is show this next year as showing it very early is just going to infuriate people.

Jason is lying and full of it but all these fake twitter insiders who have been wrong about almost everything are right. Ok.

Skyrim took 4-6 years to develop by all best estimates. If we're being reasonable, Fall 2023, early 2024.

Not surprised. The last rumor I heard was that the game is in development hell and basically broke the Gamebryo engine and they had to start from scratch with a new engine possibly Unreal. If true expect a lot fewer RPG mechanics and more shooty shooty. Think of the difference between Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect Andromeda and you'll get the idea.

Tbf I think they said these 2 games would be next gen only

They will show it at E3 anyway cause otherwise there's not going to be a lot of lineup apart from Halo 5 and maybe Forza. MS really shit the bed lately with their games pipeline so they are running on fumes until 2022 at least. From then on, with so many studios they will probably find a good cadence.
As for release, 2021 seemed only possible because Bethesda started marketing their games very close to release lately but whatever people's feelings are on Schreier his inside information is usually legit. Honestly those reveals with just a logo are setting a lot of false expectations: GoW Ragnarok, Starfield, Mass Effect - it's nice to know those things are coming but 4 years until release is a stretch.

Not at all but going by Bethesda’s E3 history they don't show games that are years off and Phil Spencer doesn't like doing that either.

You can't make a list like that without Bayonetta 3. C'mon now.

People from GameIndustry.biz, VGC and Jason have all said the same thing in terms of MS first party studios like Initiative's Perfect dark, Playgrounds Fable. They are a long ways off.
And yet E3 2020 was a bunch of games that were years off and most of them shown in CGI trailer form.

How is it bait? The game has been in development almost a decade. If development were smooth they would be well into working on a sequel by now.

I am, honestly. I expected it to drop by March 2022 at the latest. Granted, I had not been following the title's development related rumors/news.

It's been in a planning/pre-development phase for over a decade. Most of that time was probably just todd and some others in a room with a drawing board
That's normal for game development. Especially for big new IPs

This starfield stuff is getting stale now.
People just need to wait for todd howard and phil Spencer. All these "insiders" are getting free clicks, streams, twitter follows, and attention just throwing shit out.
Maybe i should make a twitter and push my prediction of Fall 2022 lol

Active development as in a small team was developing the tech and building demos
Full production didn't start until 2019
