Bethesda has no experience with online games, and their games are buggy as is without being MMOs. This could go badly, but i honestly think it will go really well. They have some well named developers on board for it, and i trust bethesda.

They would be using a different engine for that... and Gamebryo was buggy as hell.

The leaks are out there... I want to like it and I have hope, but I just pray that I doesn't hurt the single player series, which it shouldn't (different studios). It's third person and kind of cartoony, kind of reminded me of Redguard, visually. Just by looking, the world looks more static, which isn't surprising. Still, if they can incorporate some of the interactivity and depth from the main seres in, ll be impressed. But if you take that out, there's not much left. I'm hoping for more Ultma Online, less WoW.

It looks incredibly bland in every aspect. From the armor and weapons to the combat, to the player models and animations. The only thing that actually looks nice about the game is that it has a vibrant looking world. I understand that the footage they use in that video *might* be early alpha/beta quality and that they might have been refined since. But if it's not? I'm really not digging the art direction.

All in all it looks like it's trying to do exactly what? GW2 is doing. We'll see how? it competes eventually, I guess.

And why is this thread not in the pc gaming section?

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.

      Wonder how much of this it related to them using something like Mythos. It seems everybody is releasing large numbers of updates in the last few weeks.
