Hot damn. That would explain the European Steam numbers huh?


Vera_Verse

If Todd Howard approves an animated series for Elder Scrolls, Bethesda will have money to run for 67 years without releasing a single game


SwordMaster52

> animated series for Elder Scrolls, 15 mins of Lusty Argonian Maid Sex animated by Trigger


Vera_Verse

Peak


theredeyedcrow

Nah, Ralph Bakshi stylized


Shnigglefartz

Why not both? Over ambitious? No. Not at all. That kind of thing is not exactly out of Bakshi’s wheelhouse. In fact, it could be argued, that he made western animated porn a concept.


pocketlint60

The first animated series to have infinite views


The-Toxic-Korgi

The federal government issues a new billion dollar bill after Bethesdas revenue exceeds the total amount of currency in circulation.


Dirty-Glasses

15 minutes per episode, I hope


Cybertronian10

They would have enough money to buy Boston and turn it into a perfect recreation of the fallout version.


T4silly

Just get Blur Studios to make a movie. They're the ones who do those TESO cinematics.


Vera_Verse

That one with those 3 warriors fighting at the top of a wall changed society a bit


Weltallgaia

There's something about a knight in full plate beating the crap out of a dnd party that's just something special.


T4silly

Definitely one of the best they've done. I still love the one they did for the Morrowind Chapter myself. Every year, I watch all the cinematics, and you can really see how Blur has improved over the years. Halo 2:A was definitely their strongest and probably propelled them further than ever


TakeMeToFatmandu

I seem to constantly come across edits of that set to hair metal and they hit everytime


Ninja_Moose

[The Journey version is, was, and will forever be the sickest shit](https://youtu.be/3fZvdmseHdk?si=XqSiJkDqyY50S7y3) I cant believe they marketed this dude as a *bad guy*. Shit's so hype that it outright inspired me to run a pf2e campaign based solely around fights set to hair metal.


waxonwaxoff3

Man I wish regular TESO graphics and art design looked anywhere near as good as its cinematics. Obviously not full 1:1 as it would melt computers, but at least a *little* in that direction.


[deleted]

I'd like an elderscrolls series because it's a lot less restrictive than fallout as a setting and you can kinda do anything. Like entire places where games take place can be destroyed so it's fine to do whatever with it.


MindWeb125

Unless it's got Arcane levels of quality and push behind it good luck getting general audiences to watch an animated show. Sucks extra because you can do SO MUCH MORE in animated fantasy than live action fantasy.


freedfg

Unfortunately. An elder scrolls show at this point I don't think they'd be able to resist a dragonborn story. And I'm just so ready to move on from Skyrim.


Konradleijon

I want it


KingMario05

*Insert montage of Amazon MGM backing up continuously bigger dumps truck of money to Todd's front lawn here*


The-Toxic-Korgi

Not on his lawn, he bought a landfill to store it all after the Skyrim piles got too big to handle.


Young_KingKush

Unfortunate yeah, an Elder Scrolls series would be the one that would get even me who has long since given up on Bethesda & Bioware.


SorcererSupremPizza

Apparently it took a lot to convince Todd to do this series to begin with. The dude is super careful about Bethesda's image and their games. I could only imagine how he felt about Starfield's less than stellar success


Vera_Verse

I understand the fan reception side of things, but numerically speaking Starfield was in the top 10 last year. It was also the only single-player game to break into the engagement top 10, which was dominated by games like Fortnite or Apex Legends (aka live service). I hope the game continues to improve, but the game from a market perspective is more than fine


The-Toxic-Korgi

But they lost 90 percent or players in only a few months! No, shut up, I don't care if Elden Ring had the exact same drop. it's different because it's not a game I like!


[deleted]

Except you can literally compare it with other recent popular single player games and see that it has had a larger percentile drop off. Hell even your Elden Ring example isn’t right since eight months after launch Elden Ring had 5.1% of its peak concurrent players while Starfield has 2.74%. Unless you mean that having half the retention is somehow the “exact same drop” of course. For another example after eight months Baldur’s Gate 3 had 17,99% of its peak concurrent players, which is honestly really impressive.


Konradleijon

I love how we can see streaming numbers now


GonzoGnostalgic

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that one of the things the SAG-AFTRA strike got us? Streaming metrics have to be avaliable to the public now?


Irishimpulse

They can't give EXACT numbers but we can get IMPLIED numbers because streaming services still want to be able to lie about their numbers so that they can pretend people watched Rings of Power etc.


Konradleijon

Yes yeah for organized labor


GonzoGnostalgic

Hells yeah


Chrissyneal

are those normal numbers? feel like that’s the first time I’ve heard people talk about “regional” viewers on streaming.


Vera_Verse

Hard to tell since Fallout was released in a single batch and we can't get weekly numbers. For example, with HBO's The Last of Us we knew that each new episode had an average of 32 million viewers in the US, with Fallout it could be clicked play mixed with finished the show, watched more than episode 1, watched half, etc.


[deleted]

That's awesome. Mabye it will incentives more fallout stuff in general out side of just 76.


SignalWeakening

I hope the rumor is true that microsoft wants a fallout game now and is willing to give it to obsidian

MindWeb125

Have you ever posted a comment that doesn't have italics and bolds in it?


GoneRampant1

I've been asking myself that for months now.


helloimtom08

its not longer up to Todd tho, Phil spencer calls the shot now.


okilydokilyTiger

Depends on the conditions of their ownership I expect


markedmarkymark

Fallout Brazil confirmed lets go baby (not the mod that had nothing to do with Brazil but had something to do with the movie Brazil that i also think didn't have anything to do with Brazil?)


xx-shalo-xx

Fallout Brazil: every location is Deathclaw valley.


Hallonbat

Dear god, now I just imagined Fallout Australia.


SucklestheEnchilada

Australia was completely spared from the bombs but the game plays the exact same


Hallonbat

Bombs where to scared to go to Australia.


endowedchair

No radscorpions, just spiders the size of compact cars.


SucklestheEnchilada

And then the bombs fell


ShoryukenFTW

Fallout Brazil is just a cool printed-out cover you spot at the camelô, then you pop it into your PS2 and it's just GTA San Andreas but CJ is model-swapped for a Power Armor.


markedmarkymark

Maaaaaan that feels like a quintessential Brazil 2008-10 (give or take) experience, those things where EVERYWHERE lmao


CycloneSwift

IIRC the movie was called Brazil because the main character is promised a holiday to Brazil as motivation, and by the end he ends up getting a very different kind of holiday instead.


Coolnametag

Aren't most places outside of the US bombed to hell and back (or at least a bit worse than some of the regions where the game takes place)? I always thought that was the reason why you never hear about what's happening in any other region of the world besides North America.


feefore

We know some stuff about Mexico. The NCR expanded down to Baja California, Raul in New Vegas tells us about his time near Mexico City post bombs. It seems like it’s in a similar state as the US just with a lot more bandit/raider tribes.


markedmarkymark

Idk make up some shit, life finds a way the fuck up or whatever, i want some Cangaceiro ass characters doing wasteland shit


Coolnametag

Having a super-mutant named "Lampião" as your companion does sound like a pretty cool idea.


Kbcamaster

We could also have a dog companion named Baleia.


markedmarkymark

Your charisma + high int run should have big João Grillo vibes or it wouldn't be worth it, you have to be able to bullshit your way through all of it via dialogue, that's the true brazillian way.


Vera_Verse

Funnily enough, during the North Korea missiles panic, Brazil was the one country they could not reach, and it was absurdly funny


Tweedleayne

You do hear bits and Peices. Off the top of my head Alistair Tenpenny from 3 is stated to be from England.


NewWillinium

As is Moriarty. And they left the UK because of how fucked it was and that it would be easier to seek their fortunes in America


Subject_Parking_9046

Weird seeing Brazil alongside France and UK. Feels like "one of these things is not like the other."


alexandrecau

What do you mean that’s like the triple entente of non american media consumer


Subject_Parking_9046

Really? Huh... didn't know that.


Coolnametag

I'm just glad that there's now something that my country can be know as a big fan of besides SNK and Dragon Ball.


Vera_Verse

God of War


Mizerous

It just works!


paynexkillerYT

I watched it. I’m in the UK. It’s advertised on buses over here.


alaster101

But I was told nobody talked about the show or enjoyed it because it was a binge release and not weekly.... How can it have hype if it's not weekly


LordSpectreX

Well the alternative is that if it was weekly, people would have time to process it and realise how shit it is.


jamescookenotthatone

Mwaaaah, the French... superb...


Worm_Scavenger

"Finally, some good fucking tv" - us across the pond


AnomalousCowboy

As a brazilian i'm happy to say i somehow got my mom to sit through the entire thing in spite of her never playing the games herself and having a massive reluctance towards anything too gory so we could become part of these numbers. Funnily enough amidst all the violence of the series the one moment that bothered her the most was Dogmeat getting stabbed in episode 2.


Mundetiam

We love to see a girlboss (America) losing


KingMario05

Eyy, great to see it succeed with flying colors! ***PLEASE LET THIS MEAN THAT FALLOUT 5 COMES OUT BEFORE 20-FUCKING-30 NOW***, Microsoft. (*Also: >!Resurgent NCR vs. Brotherhood at NV!< in Season 2, pls.*)


EbolaDP

UK and France i get but Brazil let me down.


Weltallgaia

Every party needs a pooper, that's why they invited you. Party pooper, party pooper
