Seems insane that we're likely looking at 10+ years before Fallout 5, too

The show is going to have 5 seasons and have been canceled for 5 years before Bethesda cranks out another proper Fallout. I can't believe they wasted so much development time on Starfield. Modern development cycles are borked

Modern AAA games don't seem sustainable at all. Used to be a few years between games and these were games with amazing stories and gameplay elements and a ton of content. Now it's like a 5+ year wait at a minimum for hardly anything.

Its not so much all AAA games its just the huge studios that are expected to hit insane benchmarks from gamers. If Bethesda, EA or Activision release something that doesn't hit 4K, 120FPS and be at least 40 hours worth of good gameplay its seen as a failure nowadays. All of these things make the game take so long to make. If more people were happy with the smaller games and not having to have photo realistic graphics I could bet the games would come quicker.
