How can an analyst be so uninformed? How the hell is he making firms money?

Welcome... to games "JOURNALISM"

Reaper29r2750d ago

I can't stand Pachter but this guy is worse. We all know it's coming, I don't understand why they can't drip feed us info like before. Builds up hype and a lot of people go nuts over their games (I went to the midnight release for the one with the Alduin statue). Honestly if the next one is that far away, they should hire the Skywind guys and have them do a multiplatform remaster and release it sooner.

I feel ya Pete Hines view on letting us know about the game kinda goes contrary to what we think we "want". But he has a good purpose for what he is doing. It took the greatest of effort to just get a nod and a wink that ES:VI is even in development. The reason why he doesn't want to drip or give us chunks of info early is because of not wanting to get his product stale. Take Legend of Zelda:Breath of Wild for Exp, we keep getting info but then we keep getting the game pushed and pushed back this leads to people getting uninterested and "moving on". So he doesn't want this he wants to just go "BAM!" and be like "This is it guys we have ES:VI and it comes out this spring, yada yada!" Not "Game comes out in 4 yrs here is your screenshot of a prototype of a Prealpha concept of this very incomplete game" Then people are like "EEWWW so LAST GEN!!" and "What game is this?" and "This is the new ES? It looks worse then the last one!" So he doesn't want that.

you were on point until the last few sentences. Thing is they can release artwork. Then again, they do that and some other studio starts working on something similar; not that it would really matter. And it would be a waste of time and money to produce an in game preview to show. What they wouldn't do, even now, is give us a video or pics that we say, oh that is so last gen....

Fact is I'm all for not hearing about a game until closer to release. It's nice that the industry is learning from their past mistakes and refraining from announcing actual dates far too early. At the same time, the inevitable, such as this, they should at least come out and say it's development and are hopeful they can meet a target release year.

dauntingpixel2749d ago

I completely agree with seraphim. I much preferred the way they went about things with fallout 4.
"Here's a trailer hope you enjoy it." Fallout 4 announced officially and we're all excited. then they say "oh by the way - this game is coming in 6 months." and we al collectively lose our crap because we don't have the agonizing wait of the next 16 months

UnHoly_One2749d ago

I like that they don't tell us anything until it is basically done.

I loved that they did that with Fallout 4 last year.

@ E3 - "Hey by the way, we're making Fallout 4 and here is a trailer. Oh, and it comes out in 6 months, not in 2-3 years like most of the other games you'll see announced this week."

Michael Pachter is known for making very wide of the mark analysis of things. Anyone who trusts this guy on anything especially when it comes to making $$ should have their head checked. This guy seems to be in his own world.

Pantz2750d ago

i trust him to always be an ass

ElectricFeel2750d ago (Edited 2750d ago )

Hines has proven he's a world class asshat several times in the past so I don't really see why people listen to him.

The Elder Scrolls 6 Shouldn’t Ignore a Huge Chunk of the Map Like Skyrim Did

Skyrim might be a modern day classic with a famously huge open world, but it still neglected to put any content on one huge part of its map.

Get rid of the stupid sprint button and bring back athletics and acrobatics

mkis0071d 3h ago

I hate the perk system. I feel so weak at the start.

Daeloki1d 1h ago

That's the point of 99,99999% of rpgs

mkis0071d ago (Edited 1d ago )

But then Why play once I'm perked up? I want some horizontal progression. I feel like im playing just to get stronger. Once I'm as strong as possible what is there left?

Ratchet and Clank weapons are a perfect example of the best kind of progression.

FPS_D3TH14h ago

Why play when you’re perked up? Brother there is no limit to leveling and perking in Skyrim. You’re not even really making much sense if you’re arguing about RPGs to be honest.

Daeloki27m ago

"But then Why play once I'm perked up?"

Wait I thought your problem with perks was feeling weak at the start? But to answer your question, using Skyrim as an example, by the time I've leveled up to the point of feeling powerful, I still have tons of quests and sidequests to deal with, and enemies tend to scale with your level, so it's not a matter of being overpowered either. Honestly it just sounds like you're complaining for the sake of complaining.

So you want the 8-10 second sprint button so you get tired but you can kill god sand dragons. I can run for 20 minutes easily and I’m old. It makes no sense. You always start out weak in RPGs.

OtterX13h ago

Nah, that had me swimming laps in lakes and ponds trying to level up. Like A LOT. I never want to have to do that again.

Inverno11h ago

I know it's a dumb reason but i really can't play Skyrim because of the lack of speed and acrobat. The sprint button and jumping restrictions killed it for me.

Yeah nah stuff extra ocean content.

Michiel19891d 2h ago

yeah no, in 99% of cases underwater combat is just bad/worse than regular combat, I'm good without it.

Michiel198920h ago

even in mario bros 3 it was awful

anast9h ago

Mario Bros water levels are what immediately think about when talking about underwater combat.

anast22h ago

It will be developed by AI so there will be stuff all over the map. I'm not sure it will be fun, but there will be stuff.

TheCaptainKuchiki15h ago

Skyrim gotta be one of the most overrated games ever

Michiel198913h ago

nah it was really good and that after 13 years people still play and create mods for it is a testament to that.
