Paid Mods Coming Back for Fallout 4?
So Bethesda is planning to bring in paid mods back for Fallout 4. While the basic idea of, as Bethesda put it, “supporting modders for their work” is rather complex and has numerous pros and cons, the Skyrim community did NOT like it. There were flame wars and unending revolt until Bethesda and Valve cancelled it. What the community took the most offence with was the break-up of the revenue from mod sales: Bethesda got a meaty 45% of the whole sale (on top of the sale from the base game, which came out in 2011 and is still selling like hot cakes), Valve kept 30% (their usual cut from all sales on Steam) and modders got a rather measly 25% from their mod. Mind, 25% is the standard cut of the sales on the Steam Workshop. In an interview with GameSpot, Bethesda’s Peter Hines...
Fallout 4 Won’t Have Skyrim’s Technical Issues
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim launched in 2011 to critical acclaim, but players sometimes encountered bugs during their playthroughs. Developer Bethesda had trouble working with the PlayStation 3, specifically, having to deal with issues in the game that delayed DLC for the PS3 version for months. Bethesda has learned from the rough state of Skyrim, however, and is aiming to apply those lessons to the upcoming release of Fallout 4. According to a Game Informer interview with game director Todd Howard, the studio better understood how to deal with bugs and problems following the release of Skyrim and its subsequent DLC. Specifically, it learned what to prioritize for the launch of Fallout 4, should that game face similar issues. “I think we’ve gotten way better there,” he sa...

Fallout 4 Almost Had Multiplayer
Bethesda Softworks’ beloved open world RPGs are all solo affairs in the world that we know, and that’s by design. The dev team isn’t ignorant of the fact that some of its fans would like to explore vast fantasy landscapes with friends; the devs are just honest about what would and wouldn’t work within the context of their creative vision. That doesn’t stop them from trying, however. Fallout 4 director Todd Howard and his team sit down and figure out what multiplayer might look like for the game they’re working on. Pre-production is the best time to do that. Before anyone starts to do serious coding or content creation, concepts and mechanics are written down on paper and discussed. Multiplayer is always in the conversation at Bethesda. “Then we go,...
E3 Journal: Bethesda Sweeps Day One
Bethesda Softworks just won E3’s Day 1 with their first E3 showcase ever. The two and a half hour conference, broadcast live on Twitch and Youtube and hosted in the Dolby Theatre. After they unwittingly leaked Dishonored 2 a day earlier while rehearsing for E3 proper, there were very little in the way of surprising news, but they still managed to rock the stage. DOOM For me personally DOOM was the star of the show. Bethesda thought so too, as they opened the show with DOOM. After releasing a ten second trailer to a trailer a month ago, Bethesda and Id revealed the new DOOM game properly. And oh did they reveal it! After Id’s Executive Producer, Matty Stratton opened the show, ten straight minutes of Demon eviscerating ultraviolence in the gorgeously brown and brown locales of ...
