Bethesda Now Hiring ‘Future Generation Console Programmers’, IT’S COMING
Ain’t no purpose denying it no more. The next generation is slowly walking into gaming’s party. Sauntering in through the side door. The signs are everywhere! The latest one is none other than Bethesda hiring programmers for the next cadre of gaming consoles.
Joystiq:
Bethesda Game Studios is looking toward the future, hiring for “Future Generation Console Programmer” positions. We should be clear: these jobs are for working on “an unannounced game on future-generation consoles.” They’re not for future generations of people. In fact, you need 5 years of development experience, so not being born yet is actually a big disadvantage.
The listing doesn’t give much of a clue as to the technology Bethesda is targeting with its future Elder Scrolls or Fallout or whatever — applicants need experience programming for PS3 and Xbox, and DirectX 11 experience is “a plus.”
Fallout 3. Skyrim. Goodness me if those aren’t two of my favorite games this generation. Lord only knows what Bethesda is going to be capable of trotting out on the next-gen consoles, but I can’t fucking wait to see. Fallout 4? I beg.
