My guess is that we are seeing the consequences of the real talent leaving and being replaced by people who “just do their job”.
No wonder budgets have ballooned. Those people don’t get shit done nowadays. I mean, just look at Bethesda and their output during the 360. And now it took them like a decade for Starfield. It’s a joke. Assuming there are the same people working on the games, there is no logic by which to explain why it took them so long to make the game.
So my only conclusion is that the good people have all left, given up or just don’t give a fuck any more.
What happens when the same people stay and continue to do their job you see by looking at From Software.
Western game development has become a running gag. People like the ones from SBI actively influencing how a game is made and written? All those big companies should relocate in a tent that fits the circus they represent.
Its a good example. they released too fully featured TES games on PS360. Alongside a Fallout game, and let Obsidian work on a Fallout spinoff.
Like Naughty Dog. 2 new IP on PS3. Versus nothing new on PS4, and still a no show on PS5.
