Now that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 76’s debacle has been thoroughly aired out, Bethesda designer, director an༒d producer Todd Howard now refleဣcts on the misfire positively. While the RPG prequel doesn't quite hit the marks of its predecessors, Howard stated that the experience “made [Bethesda] better developers”.
Speaking to James Batchelor from GameIndustry.biz, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Todd Howard sat down for an in-depth interview during the Develop: Brighton Digital 2020 conference. Bethesda’s success was highlighted in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Elder Scrolls franchise, which Howard showed interest in replicating some time in ꦑthe future. Admitting that it would involve “significant changes” to Bethesda’s approach, Howard was open to creating another multiplayer, open-world game, though he said it'd need vigorous beta testing this time around.
It’s no secret that Fallout 76’s launch was somewhat of a disaster for Bethesda. Between its severe technical issues and a switch to multiplayer mode (that nobody asked for), Fallout 76 suffered greatly from a lack of beta testing. Howard had no shame ℱin taking ownership over the game’s shortcomings and addressed the Fallout community's disappointment head-on. He revealed that after Fallout 76’s failed launch, ZeniMax Online Studios offered advice t🗹o Bethesda to help recover the game, since The Elder Scrolls Online suffered from a poor launch as well.
In the beginning, Howard and his team at Bethesda wanted to make something different for Fallout fans, but the director disclosed that fans don’t necessarily want the formula to be altered. Bethesda made a considerable effort to soak up player feedback and criticisms to push Fallout 76 to an acceptable level. The addition of expansion pack 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wastelanders attempted to reunite the game with its single-player roots, which helped fans feel more at home. Overall, Howard believ𝓡ed that Fallout 76 was a “positive experience”, whi♑ch in turn, helped Bethesda to evolve as a developer and created a stronger bond with the RPG's community.
Fallout 76’s plethora of patches and updates - in addition to the rigorous work put into Wastelanders - was largely thanks to honest feedback from fans. Members of the game’s 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:thriving community also took it upon themselves to create in-game events, who will also be able to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:build their own vaults very soon, according to Bethesda's Steel Da♊wn Patch 24.
