QuakeCon 2009 Todd Howard Interview »


 
Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard talks about his relationship with id Software at QuakeCon 2009. Now that they're part of the same company, a lot of people are wondering if the two will be working together and development will change. Howard talks about how big he expects Bethesda to get, the id Tech 5 engine, technology sharing, PS3 DLC for Fallout 3, the Fallout MMO,  Elder Scrolls, and more. He said:
 
"I sort of view it right now like we're at a big buffet and somebody just rolled out another table, 'Look there's more food! What do ya want?' So we're sharing stuff right now. They can look at our stuff. We can look at their stuff. It might be that we implement an idea they have for doing something or we actually use code or vice versa -- kind of take it as it comes."
 

Although Howard didn't address my idea for The Todd Couple sitcom, it's a great interview from one of the best developers in the business. Check it out!

    Based on how it looked, it appears more like a video for a dating service than an interview.

    This was a pretty cool interview, but I want a new Elder Scrolls...pleaseeeee. But on another note, I hope they help id out with Rage because even though it's in very capable hands Bethesda and id working together is like SUPER TEAM!! That would be really cool, and I can't wait for Batman either so it's good to see that a game designer wants to play that game.

    No link for the interview?

    Kind of related though, anyone play the demo for Wet? I think it was a good move for Bethesda to publish that game. Based on the demo it's going to be a sleeper hit IMO.
