Bethesda Will Keep the Same Fundamental Game Engine for The Elder Scrolls VI, Starfield

tusharngf · Nov 14, 2018

Bethesda's Todd Howard has confirmed that the developer is using its same old creaky engine to power Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI.

The issue here is that the engine has never been very good, at least on a technical level. Last-gen titles such as Fallout 3 and the original version of Skyrim ran badly on the PlayStation 3, and Bethesda's now infamous for its buggy, glitch-ridden games. There was some hope that the studio would finally ditch its engine for its supposedly next-gen titles, but again, according to Howard, that ain't happening.

I said it once and will say it again, Todd is an absolute madman.

Oh for Pete's sake! Why can't they just let it go already, no one likes it outside of the devs because they know it and are used to it. They need to make a generational leap to a new engine, yes it will take time to work on it and figure out, and then there's the issue of modding and getting the tools out for modders, but it's all possible to do, just takes time.

The graphics engine/renderer aren't the issue anyway. It's the simulation and its memory management that's problematic.

It's been debunked.

Anyway, AC Odyssey is also on the same engine as the first AC game, so is the next AC game apparently. Devs don't make a new engine every generation.
