Starfield showed the best Bethesda can do now. It's not good.
Too bad. Microslop won't save them. They should just close up shop, methinks.

A core part of his argument is that Obsidian never gave Bethesda the source code for New Vegas. That might have been an issue when the game was released, but now both studios are owned by Xbox. Unless Obsidian lost the game’s code at some point, I can’t imagine Xbox allowing them to keep it from Bethesda if they want to remake or remaster the game.
It’s totally possible that Bethesda lacks the skills to remake New Vegas, but I don’t think it would fail because of missing source code.

Not sure how, since 90% of the game is fallout 3 assets
