Oversaturation is a real thing. I don't want them to rush games out or let a new studio run like a headless chicken because peeps are impatient.

Sure but it’s been almost 9 years since Fallout 4 and it’s gonna probably be 15 before we see 5.

Fallout 76 is still a good game

Bro, it's like 10 years now. Fallout 3 came out 16 years ago. Fallout 5 isn't anywhere close.

Slow and steady wins the race baby! I'm down for waiting and playing the long game. Again, I much prefer this approach rather than over saturation. Besides, the Fallout games are a modders paradise! There is nothing like them

Waiting hasn't seem to have gotten us anything though. Starfield was fine but not amazing. It doesn't seem like Bethesda is able to deliver the quality they used to.

I wouldn't be quick to lay down some judgements. People said Fallout 4 wasn't good when it launched and reddit was quick to jump the gun, but time has been extremely kind to it and it's aged fantastically!! I for one really enjoyed Starfield! It had all the elements I wanted in a Bethesda game, a unique setting and great gameplay loop, plus ship combat kicked ass so did building my own personal ship. It's going to get better and better once dlc and updates launches! Will it be as legendary as Skyrim, probably not but it's still a wide step above other games

Look, I liked starfield but my time put into it and my enjoyment from it is less or equal than Morrowind, oblivion, skyrim, fallout 3, new vegas and fallout 4 and all those had dev cycles that were way faster. My worry is that these long dev cycles don't lead to a better product. We're getting the same quality (if not worse) but while having to wait longer and longer. We could literally only see 1 new fallout and elder scrolls game in the next 20 years. That's insane.

The only thing oversaturating here is nothing. So you want less oversaturation? Release something so we have less of this nothing then.

We don't want oversaturation, but Bethesda should have one team for each of their IP. They should release one TES, one Fallout and one Starfield each generation.

That would be amazing. That is the kind of investment that Xbox needs. What they're doing right now is not cutting it.

If Bethesda is unable to handle that many teams/projects, then they should at least be farming out Fallout so that someone is making games, like how Obsidian made New Vegas.

The fact that Microsoft has so many IPs but so many of them are inactive due to poor management and under-investment is wasteful and harmful to Xbox.
