Inon Zur composer of the soundtrack for dozens of games, most noticeable among them Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas, just dropped a line in his interview that will overshadow most of his accomplishments as an artist.
In an interview for RPGSite, he was quoted saying "when Starfield released, I believe people were just not ready for it". Well, no argument there, people were expecting something much better from Bethesda. Or at least something a bit enjoyable.
But then he added "it’s a different way of looking at it, but Todd is really strong, and he said very, very lightly, «look, if you don’t like it, then you don’t like it, but this is the new thing that we’re doing, and we’re sticking to it.» He believes in his way, and it just has proven time and time again that eventually people will understand his vision." Yeah, about that, we do get the vision, it’s just the vision was not that good.
"It just takes time, and this is a common thing for all the big visionaries. Sometimes people really don’t understand them correctly, but they were strong enough to stay on-course, and Todd will stay on-course on Starfield. Starfield will eventually become something that will be legendary. I have no doubt. It’s just a matter of time." Oh, come on, you’re just making stuff up now, are you after some promotion or something?
"Todd is one of, if not the most creative and invigorating human beings in the industry". Ok, that is... a bold statement. You mean, someone who is making copies of the same game for the past 20 years is THE most creative person in the world? Press X to doubt.
"He just doesn’t stop. He always has new ideas. He always knows what he wants. He is very persuasive and has a very strong character. He will also find ways to describe what he wants without really calling it a name". Sorry, but those words can be used to describe the captain of Titanic, being stubborn is not the same as being right.
"He knows how to allow freedom of creativity on one hand, but also how to steer it to his own vision. He is a visionary. He sees things that people will start to find out years later". Well, I can believe Todd Howard allows people freedom of creativity, I can believe he knows how to inspire people, but the visionary bit... Again, their first "new" project in 20 years, turns out to be another copy of the old formula, so...
Well, Inon Zur is an accomplished composer, with dozens of projects to prove his skills in that field, but perhaps he should keep the visionary detection as a backup career.

Starfield, one of the most anticipated games of the year, had an early access premiere yesterday and so far the impressions are not that great. Again. Not again, in the sense Starfield impressions, but this is again a big game set in space, which fails to deliver.
It is coming in about 12 to 15 years to be exact. After recent presentation of Starfield gameplay Todd Howard confirmed that Fallout is the basic DNA of Bethesda, so of course there will be next title.
Is Wargaming collapsing? Unfortunately no, but the situation in the company might not be as great as they want you to believe.
Elden Ring premiered recently to pretty much universal acclaim - critics and users seem to love the concept, the outlook, the formula, the experience. And someone should tell FromSoftware they’re doing it wrong! And someone has...
Wargaming, company behind World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes, is known for its predatory marketing approach towards customers, so article like this is nothing new or nothing surprising, but there might be people unfamiliar with the topic, so... Yeah, there are things that need to be said.
No, it’s not gonna be another "World of Warships is dead" or "WOWS is dying" article. Unfortunately, this completely broken game is alive, and it looks like with the community they have, it will be alive for a long, long time. But it is a final chapter - I’m done.
Wargaming, the infamous company behind titles like World of Tanks and World of Warships announced that they are about to shut down one of their titles. And not the one you think.
IGN, the corporate owner of Eurogamer for the past 2 years, in its wisdom decided to shut down part of the Eurogamer, the video department to be exact. To be fair, they did break it before they shut i...
