Warhorse: buys, restores & preserves castle because it was featured in a game
Bethesda: asks customers to pre-order the 7th remake of Skyrim
Henry: takes off armor & clothes to swim in lake
Todd Howard: covers Henry’s mouth as he uses a rebreather to drown him
*begins grinding random herbs into paste, rolls fake dice to win the last bits of a hooker’s money. Buys more herbs. Repeat.
Isn’t next fiscal year in July?
Next fiscal year after the next fiscal year coming.
Companies can define what their fiscal year is to be whatever basically (unless the country they’re based in is super particular about accounting practices), just as long as it’s four quarters. I’ve worked in places where the calendar year lines up with their fiscal, a March fiscal year, and an October fiscal year.
So it’s like a Chinese new year thing? By that I mean not January.
I mean, if any studio can make a living RPG world it would be Warhorse. All I can say is “don’t fuck it up!”
Originally Bethesda Game Studio was the one, but their last decent game was Skyrim. They seem to know that themselves too, as they keep finding reasons to re-release Skyrim.
Yeah.
Can you imagine a “Starfield: Special Edition” re-release in a few years?
I’d say the notion is satire… but their leadership’s ego is so titanic it might not be.
Starfield was ambitious and failed. I give them credit for trying. But, that said, I’m not buying the game.
Ambitious for Bethesda maybe
I don’t think it was a sales failure, was it? Not a short term one.
Sounds like Polymarket is back on the menu, boys
I would not bet against it, that’s for sure.
My bet is on j before Starfield 2. BGS will really, actually think “hey, let’s remind everyone how great Starfield 1 was!”
I played Starfield on launch. I Cyberpunked & glitched into walls. I GTA III’d through pavement and fell into another dimension where Morrowind was the height of gaming.
I woke up, and an angry rotund child with a bowl-cut was glaring at me.
I asked “is this 1995”?
“No” , he replied “I’m allowed to eat as much Mt. Dew as I want”.
No indeed, he began going into detail about “grinding”, and I had flashbacks to Diablo II.
So I lifted my left buttock and let out a loud toot.
The spectre left in a hurry, yelling something about “souls like”
Todd: We are excited to announce ‘Skyrim: Buy This Instead of Kingdom Come Edition’
Everyone but Todd: This is horse armor
Even considering they stopped development of KCD II shortly after it got released, that’s quite a short development cycle. What I am wondering is how much of that is those cunts in deep silver pushing and not Warhorse.
I dunno. I saw a dev video where the project leads, Henry’s VA, and other team members all seemed excited about the development expansion.
…Maybe they’ve just done the hard part already?
KCDI had issues, but they knocked KCDII out of the park. CryEngine is utterly fabulous for that niche; they don’t need to change a thing, mechanically or visually, nor worry about maintaining a whole game engine; that’s offloaded to Crytek.
Maybe they’ve really got all the tooling and workflow perfected for their “Very medieval RPG” template, and hence can make another banger without so much R&D and fuss.
It can definitely use an improvement, that improvement being a fishing mini-game
At risk of going Fallout 4…
How about medieval homebuilding?
Build a little hut? Store stuff. Have chickens. Fish in a pond out back, kiddo running around.
If it’s done even half as meticulously as KCDII, I personally know people that would play the hell out of content like that. That’s the premise of a whole lot of Skyrim modding.
The forge DLC is kind of that. You can improve and modify your personal forge in kuttenberg.
That mini game would have to manually tie each hook and lure onto the line.
