Those games are kinda shitty and glitch fests that don't do anything new.  Fallout 4 sucks. Fallout 76 sucks.

I don't trust Schreier's claims on this one.

• He's going against about 6 other insiders who all believed it was Holiday 2021 until a recent delay pushed it to Q1-Q2 2022. He is the only insider claiming it's late 2022 currently, the others all think it is early 2022 now, with 1 still claiming it is Holiday 2021.
• He says to look to the credits to back up his claims that Starfield's dev team was tiny for the first 3 years of development, so I did, and it looks to me like the Fallout 76 core dev team is smaller than he thinks it was, meaning that the Starfield core dev team was larger than he thinks it was during those first 3 years. Quite alot of the Bethesda Game Studios devs on the Fallout 76 credits were listed as providing assistance, rather than being core devs, and if they were only providing assistance, that likely means that they were switching back and forth between assisting the Starfield core team and the Fallout 76 core team as needed during those years. 
• Bethesda is able to do alot more than most AAA devs can with alot fewer devs. Here is the size of the core dev teams for Bethesda's 4 most recent singleplayer RPG's (Oblivion 70 devs, Fallout 3  80 devs, Skyrim 100 devs, Fallout 4  130 devs). Yes, that is correct, Bethesda made Skyrim, a game with over 150 hours of content, with just 100 core devs, in only 3 years). Starfield by comparison will have likely had a core dev team growing from around 50-90 devs over the course of the first 3 years of development, plus some assistance during those first 3 years, shooting up to over 180 core devs after Fallout 76 released, and is likely around 220 core devs currently, with other BGS teams and other Zenimax Studios providing assistance as needed. Starfield then has more developers working on it than any previous singleplayer Bethesda game, by quite some considerable margin, and has about 2 years more development time than any previous Bethesda game. With a March-April 2022 release, Starfield would have a grand total of 6 years and 4-5 months of development, with a core dev team size growing from about 50 devs to probably 250 devs over the course of those 6 years and 4 months. A delay to Q4 2022 just seems unlikely.  

So you're not a fan of either series, explains the indifference. It'd be like running into a naughty dog thread to question why people are excited for their next project lol 

I took the time to go through the whole list and count them all. Roughly 200 BGS devs are listed for core positions, the rest are listed for additional work, such as additional programming, additional art, etc, assistance devs in other words, not core devs. Based on Bethesda's size and growth during those years, I would estimate that the Starfield team started around 50 core devs in late 2015 when Todd Howard said that Starfield began active development, growing to around 100 core devs by late 2018 when Fallout 76 released, with the same assistance devs who assisted on Fallout 76 also assisting on Starfield (meaning they were going back and forth assisting on both projects as needed).

So a good amount of development should have gotten done in those first 3 years, and Todd Howard said in an E3 2018 interview, about 2 and a half years after active development began, that Starfield was already in a playable state at that point. Then for the next 3 years of development, from 2019-2021, we're looking at roughly 180-220 core devs on Starfield as the 4 Bethesda studios continued to expand during the last few years, a bigger core dev team than any previous singleplayer BGS game by quite some margin, plus additional assistance from other BGS teams, and of course very likely some assistance from other Zenimax studios (Arkane, id Software, and Zenimax Online all provided some assistance on Fallout 76 for instance). I will be surprised if it's late 2022, unless Covid forcing them to work from home for the past year hurt them alot. 

When you know so little it's kinda dumb to get hyped. Cyberpunk 2077 says hi! Remember Anthem? Mass Effect Andromeda. Fallout 76. People overhype AAA games on a crumb. Maybe all you tasted was the peanut from a big old pile of shit. ND will show more than a logo.

If true then a lot of insiders were way off on this one. People shouldn’t run and believe everything that is wrote on Twitter anyways but I guess we’ll find out the truth at E3. Also if this is indeed true then TES 6 is at that very end of the gen I suppose.

Either way, just let me know when Starfield comes out MS. I have my Xbox game pass Canada website bookmarked and my loonie ready for my 3 months for $1 offer. (Assuming the game is good that is, since all we have seen is a logo thus far)
