[RUMOR] Starfield is possibly delayed out of H1 2023 but it's still targeting Summer release - MrMattyPlays

I don't t know, fans of Bethesda games are not really graphics whores ( last game from them that would be considered somewhat impressive graphically has been Oblivion, back in the first years of the 360 generation), the expectations on the games of some of the best Sony's studios are on a different level...I think Starfield will be given praise to if it just generally works (and I have doubt it will)...
Never had the impression that several was upper- limited to 5... Nor I find it appropriate to use it for just 2. Always thought it was something in the ballpark of 3 to maybe 10
Starfield is not landing this year......This is just the first delay this year....All MS did was to keep the bait in the fish's mouth. They will reel in those suckas with another delay come the end of summer....
Well, Bethesda released Deathloop to great reviews and then Ghostwire Tokyo in late 2021 and early 2022 respectively. Yes, by the time Redfall launches (its coming earlier than Starfield, so let's just say sometime in the spring), the publisher would have gone over a year without new game releases, which is not a good thing and something they could have not allowed themselves to go through had they not been absorved by this larger organization (Microsoft).
But even then, the major point of criticism against Square is not their output capabilities, but the fact that they've been putting out mostly subpar products for a while now: Forspoken looks terrible visually for a next-gen only title and with each new showing of it SE further reduced players' excitement around it (which peaked at the Project Athia reveal and has gone downhill ever since); then you have laughable shitshows like Stranger of Paradise; actual garbage like Babylon's Fall; new Star Ocean and Valkyrie entries that unfortunately were severely underbudgeted and looked like PS3 games at times; new games such as The DioField Chronicle, Harvestella, Dungeon Encounters and Voice of Cards being basically sent to die; a Crisis Core remaster that was a mixed bag of a handful of visual enhancements and quality of life improvements at odds with parts of the PSP original that remained untouched and felt entirely out of place for a full-priced PS5-era re-release, especially coming off the astonishing work done on the actual Final Fantasy 7 Remake; not to mention their handling of the Kingdom Hearts IP and the absurd amount of sub-products (mobile phone games of all kinds and shapes) with bits of story that are key to the mainline plot of the series; or the embarassing way in which they managed their entire western publishing arm and family of studios.
And none of what I said takes away from the fact that Final Fantasy XVI, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Kingdom Hearts IV look fantastic, that Final Fantasy XIV is doing great, that it is great they're not forgetting their legacy and are bringing back classics such as Live A Live or Front Mission, that the promise of a Dragon Quest XII feels very exciting coming off the success of XI, and that everyone right now is on the edge of their seats awaiting any news on the future of the Drakengard/Nier franchise.
They're living off the few major successes, while screwing up big time on a near daily basis.
Bethesda fans aren’t whores, they’re tricks, because only a trick would pay for such lousy products.
