Defining Duke, Episode 100 | Todd Howard Finally Opens Up On Starfield & Elder Scrolls 6
Added 2022-12-01 17:00:18 +0000 UTCWhat better way to celebrate 100 episodes than to hear from Godd Howard himself? Many fans are clamoring for new Starfield information, but what we didn't expect was Todd Howard to appear on a podcast for three hours and talk about things beyond Starfield. Those topics range from Elder Scrolls 6, to Amazon's Fallout TV show, and even MachineGames' Indiana Jones! Todd even dives deep into his relationship with Xbox with how things have changed for the better and, in some ways, not at all. Outside of this, we are relatively free from the shackles of the perpetual news cycle following the Activision-Xbox deal and can instead turn our attention toward Xbox's achievement system. With a new report from Jez Corden, fans are excited about the possibility of Xbox layering PlayStation's trophy system on top of the current Gamerscore infrastructure. Hopefully within the new 100 episodes, we can cover what this new achievement system truly is!

Will be very surprised and disappointed if Starfield doesn't have a 60fps Performance Mode option.

2022-12-05 20:21:49 +0000 UTCNah, definitely not! At least I'd want a 60fps at 1440p

2022-12-05 11:05:10 +0000 UTCOk, so just read that Jens Andersson, another lead that worked on Riddick with Frederik, joined the Indi team. This is definitely going to be closer in design to butchers Bay.

2022-12-04 22:24:22 +0000 UTCI think taking note of one of machine games lead designers, Frederik Ljungdahl, might be a hint to how Indian Jones might be presented. He was lead designer on 'Escape from butchers Bay', which was a 1st person brawler/shooter game with 3rd person moments, along with some light detective/adventure game questing. I would say alot of those mechanics might translate well to an Indian Jones game. Even if he is not part of the team working on it, he would still have employees that have his attained knowledge.

2022-12-02 14:19:42 +0000 UTCGuys can you read? I'm not stating whether Xbox deserves credit. I'm making a prediction on how the console warriors will respond to Starfield. The Dukes in the podcast discussed the whole "this game doesn't count because XYZ" metagame that fanboys like to play online. Fam if you think Xbox doesn't deserve credit for Starfield, write in for the Dukes next week. The Dukes love receiving critical questions that push back respectfully.
2022-12-02 12:37:48 +0000 UTCThe best thing that DD ever did was introduce me to 3 personalities that I hope to follow until it’s all said and done. Thank you Matty, Cog, and the OG Karak. #DD100

2022-12-02 08:17:13 +0000 UTCCongratulations on 100. Small correction: GTA V used to be in GamePass. For around a year I believe
Gabriel Baker
2022-12-02 07:15:07 +0000 UTCFam they've owned Bethesda for a year. They couldnt have influenced Starfield much at all outside of maybe the delay. I mean they're suppose to be operating on their own still right?
Kaleb
2022-12-02 04:11:31 +0000 UTCSee! I'm right!
2022-12-01 23:28:49 +0000 UTCWhy should Xbox get credit for Starfield? That game was in development long before the Microsoft acquisition, it would have come out regardless.
Chris Goen
2022-12-01 23:18:15 +0000 UTCCongrats on 100 guys! Matty I highly recommend you drop 5 bucks to play Vampire Survivors on your Steam Deck. Perfect handheld game.
Michael Buffill
2022-12-01 21:46:42 +0000 UTCSome people (a small number) don't even want to give Xbox credit for Halo or Gears, so you guys should expect a ton of people to not give Xbox credit for Starfield.
2022-12-01 21:18:40 +0000 UTCIm excited for Matty to play FF Tactics the mass flexibility of the classes are extraordinary!

2022-12-01 20:32:36 +0000 UTCHappy 100th! Recently I've had to cut back on some of my Patreon subscriptions because I've got a kid on the way, but I couldn't axe the LSM subscription, and you guys are a part of that. If Mrs. Po says I need to find more money to save, I'll tell her she does NOT understand the value add that the Dukes bring. Keep up the good work!

2022-12-01 18:56:45 +0000 UTCCongrats on 100! This show became a staple of mine when Cog came on board. Cog and Matty are a great duo, the convo always flows well, and they’re just super chill, cool dudes. I hope this show lasts for a long time. Thanks for the great content gents. Every Thursday I get to listen to DD a little at work, and then on my ride home after. And of course, this makes me want to turn my Series X on right when I get home lol. Keep up the solid work guys!
