Todd Howard, of Bethesda, prefers retrocompatibility to reruns

The firm after Fallout or The Elder Scrolls would prefer not to relinquish its brands to third parties.

It seems that it will be difficult to see games like Fallout: New Vegas or past collaborations like those made by Bethesda and other Obsidian in the future. Despite being in a moment full of developments, Bethesda prefers to maintain its games and licenses internally, as it has been doing in recent years. It has confirmed Todd Howard, one of the main bosses of the firm after The Elder Scrolls, Fallout or Starfield.

As he shared the Gamespot portal in an interview for The Guardian newspaper, “I would not say we would never do it, but now Bethesda is such a big company that it’s always preferable to keep things internal.” The businessman said that “now it would be less likely than before, even though the developers of Obsidian did a fabulous job”. Howard, who did not hesitate to talk about other topics related to his signature, also had time to reflect on remastering and backward compatibility and give his opinion about it.

The representative of the firm said that “it makes me happy that players can play Morrowind on an Xbox One. I am very happy that Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo and others make it easier for people to play older titles, just like they played in. In fact, I prefer it to remastering,” he explained,” I prefer that you interpret Morrowind as it was in his day, in the antiquity of the software is his original identity.” He acknowledged that there were few visual adjustments in the recent remastering of Skyrim, but explained that now playing the third The Elder Scrolls, ” my personal preference is not to remaster it .”

He commented that “they are asking us a lot for a remastering of the first Fallout of 1997, but I usually say that, with a PC, you can play it perfectly today. I think that’s the way it should be. I think that streaming to video games will definitely come, and it will make the access of users to the games infinitely easier, as is already the case with music and movies. It’s something great. “ After an E3 full of new ads, Bethesda has not stopped working and appear in multiple video game conventions in recent weeks. Howard himself was at the Gamelab in Barcelona at the end of June, where he was awarded the Legend of the event award.
