Even if the differences are slight it seems a little shady to quietly downgrade the specs and not let anyone know. Nearly any hardware goes through revisions, but most are upgrades, improvements to efficiency, or changes with no performance change.

Which makes it even more inexcusable when giant publishers which ship multiple bestsellers a year do it.

We love Left 4 Dead, but [Redfall] is not Left 4 Dead in any way really, other than colorful characters.

Standard American trying to do an Australian accent. Even the broadest Aussie accent, men or women, doesn’t sound much like that. Why not hire an actual Aussie for the role?

I’m aware of the history of Gamebryo. Just looking at this trailer it looks like some of the “features” have carried over to this game too. The way the bugs crawl and how the NPCs animate makes the game look dated.

“What if I just show up and say I’m making a game?”

“Name your price!”

They started using that engine for Morrowind (when it was called NetImmerse).

That crash image really isn’t helping me think that this game is gonna be anything more than the next 85% effort Forza entry.

Regardless of density, are any of the places we explore going to more interesting than ‘Generic Base Populated With Nameless Pirates You Must Murder And Loot’?

I saw one of the NPCs do the Oblivion head-jerk 

It’s been over 15 years since TES: Oblivion came out, and they’re still using that janky “modified” Gamebryo engine with the same bugs. I think it’s time they moved to UE5 or something else.

I agree. Just either keep the number or put the year in the title or anything else other than reusing a name.

Why do companies feel the need to reboot the name of their games? It’s so annoying and confusing, and you just end up referring it as Forza Motorsport (2023).

“Screw public health. We want to make money!”

Yeah....it’s no where near as simple as you’re making it. Particularly in an industry like video games, I imagine there was a point where the GB crew couldn’t really do this on their own. Particularly if they want to maintain access, be able to get good equipment, and to pay people.

It is amusing to note, given this lack of hierarchy, they happened to put their own game top of the list.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. New professors, new Pokémon, new open world co-op game play. Blah, blah, blah! SHOW US THE FUCKING TREES ALREADY!!!!

Florida is the dryer lint trap of America. Lint traps need to be cleaned out once in a while.

*America* is full of morons, Florida is just a very popular tourist destination that attracts them from all over.
