Skyrim and Fallout veteran left Bethesda after 14 years because he'd already made 3 runaway GotY winners: "That's a really hard thing to top"
"I didn't really feel🗹 the need to do another big AAA project"

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bethesda Game Studios veteran Nathan "Nate" Purkeypile has looked back on his time developing some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best RPGs to date including gems like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Skyrim, explaining how he was ready for something new after helping create three Game of the Year wiꦗnners.
Speaking at this year's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Game Developers Conference, Purkeypile recalls leaving AAA games 🅘behind after nearly two decades, 14 years of which were spent at Bethesda. "I'd been in AAA for about 17 years at that point, and 14 of those were Bethesda, so I was ready for something di𒉰fferent after that," admits the longtime developer, going on to momentarily look back at a pre-Skyrim E3 and industry – a different world altogether.
"This is a photo of E3 before Skyrim came out, and we didn't really know what was coming next," describes Purkeypile. "Fallout 3 did ok, but Skyrim was something else, completely different. And eventually, three of the games I worked on – Fallout 3, Skyrim, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Fallout 4 –🐲 won the most GotY awards for the year that they came out." After so many Game of the Year wins, Purkeypile didn't feel like trying to tackle yet another.
"I didn't really feel the need to do another big AAA project and try and get that because honestly, I think the odds of that are pretty low because luck and timing also played a huge factor," says the Bethesda veteran, explaining that it wouldn't be easy to do again. "That's something really hard to one-up. I hope 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 6 is great, but thatꦉ's a really hard thing to🌠 top, so I wanted to have a new challenge."
Purkeypile makes a valid point here, in my opinion, and it's not as though only AAA games can be great. After all, the former Bethesda dev himself is currently heading his own indie studio, Just Purkey Games, while working to release its debut title 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Axis Unseen – and if hunting monsters to the tune of heavy metal doesn't honestly sound like it could be downright awesome in a Doom-esque way, then I'm not sure what does.
Here are some of the other most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games this year and beyond to keep an eye on.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handꦕheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
