Starfield has a new animation system built from the scratch according to a senior programmer LinkedIn at Bethesda

Was gonna mention that. Todd kept talking about their new animation system for Skyrim like it was a big deal and still turned out to be serviceable at best.
Maybe this new one will finally be up to the standards of Assassins Creed 1.
I can already see todd bragging on stage about how you can now strafe while running.
I've heard this...
yeah, I was about to say... And also the AI... And the quest system... And the renderer...
"Rewrote", "Programmer
That means nothing regarding the animation quality. It means they changed the way game handles transitions and telling each object which animation to play at any moment depending on its state.

ITT people who take memes at face value act like they know anything about video game animation systems.
Drake dancing.Skyrim's animation system was pro.
I think he's dancing.
I mean, I would hope that they're rewritten at least part of an engine that is 10+ years and two generations old.
As much as we joke and take stabs at Bethesda, most of us would like nothing but a new game from them that stands should to shoulder with the rest of the AAA industry in terms of production value.
Man oh man, this is gonna be a massive killer app for Microsoft.
Elder Scrolls and Fallout are obviously massive exclusives not to mention Doom, Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Prey etc. but Starfield feels like it will be one of the defining games of this upcoming generation.
And we still know so little about it.

Ah, yes, because implying that Bethesda lies about upgrading their engine with every release obviously comes from a place of love.
Not sure about Starfield but I think Elder Scrolls 6 will turn some heads. It has to when it releases almost 15 years after the last game. They take their time and I think (hope?!) it will be worth it.
They may not lie about it but it's almost always underwhelming results.
Yeah, this is one of those things we'll have to see to believe.
Oblivion's engine was a big step up from Morrowind's, and Skyrim's engine was a big step up from Oblivion's. There's no lie there. Yes Fallouts' engine upgrades were very small, but Bethesda tends to put a lot of work into TES (their own IP) while the Fallout games get only minor improvements. Starfield, as an IP they created, is very likely to get significant upgrades.
