Todd Howard on ‘Starfield’ game engine: “It’s a significant overhaul”
Todd Howard has revealed more information regarding two upcoming Bethesda games, ‘Starfield’ and ‘The Elder Scrolls VI’.www.nme.com
Quote me when you find a RPG with the same world interaction of Elder Scrolls.
I disagree. I think something as simple as being able to put a pot on someone's head to block their vision and steal stuff is way more impactful than some higher quality textures.
"Refuse to talk about ladders"? Todd already said they aren't any. They already stated that it's the biggest jump in their engine, possibly bigger than Morrowind to Oblivion. They even say that they have more people working on the engine than ever before, by a factor of 5. What are you talking about lmao.
Every engine is based on a previous engine these days. And no, the jump according to Todd will be bigger than Oblivion to Skyrim.
Source?
The quote was 'Morrowind to Oblivion', and I'm old enough to remember when they were describing Skyrim as an entirely new engine.
Yeah I hate asking for sources but I would like to see where they said that. It's hard to find online without knowing where it came from.
I read the text and where did they say it's the biggest jump?
I posted the link. It was a central feature of their marketing for Skyrim, because for every new Bethsoft game people make the same complaints about their tech and have been doing so for over a decade.
They said it was an entirely new engine. That was obviously not true.
That doesn't say biggest jump, and yes skyrim was on a new engine which was Creation Engine. No one actually means a new engine from scrap when they say "new engine", it's usually always derived from something else.
I played every single player Bethsoft since Morrowind on release. Oblivion to Skyrim was a big graphical upgrade, and it had nice QoL features like conversations you could walk away from. It was not a fundamental shift though. It was just an upgraded version of the same technology they have always been using.
Who said it was a fundamental shift? You completely pivoted from them saying "biggest engine upgrade" for Skyrim to them saying their "new engine" was not "a fundamental shift" which I don't think they ever said that either????
Maybe because their last tentpole release was Fallout 4 in 2015. That was 7 years ago.
Could always do something like REVIII on PS5, on other platforms it has a full on loading screen with art and stuff, on PS5 it just fades to black 99% of the time

They described it as an "entirely new engine". I don't get why you're playing this weird semantic game over Bethesda's tech stack.
They didn't say "entirely new" they said "all new". Which is true, it was the Creation Engine. I'm not playing semantics. You just made a claim that they said the same thing they said for Starfield "The overhaul on our engine is probably the largest we've ever had, maybe even larger than Morrowind to Oblivion," for Skyrim. I asked for evidence and all you could muster up was "they said it was an all new engine" these are not remotely the same and trying to claim they are is disingenuous.
Yeah this is a huge one. Being able to kill an NPC and take their gear is great and something that isn't really common in other games outside of them having a separate loot pool that might drop their gear. These kinds of systems are much more meaningful to me than other open world games where you're just meant to walk around and not interact with anything.
I was about to write a post, but you said it better than I ever could in english.
Gothic is a good shout actually in terms of interactivity. In terms of loading I am torn actually, because Gothic had much less to load and was released at a time where the IO was still sufficient, whereas Skyrim, Fallout 4, ... released on completely unbalanced hardware with awful IO. Loading games did get worse and not just for Bethesda games for many years. Thus I doubt a newer Gothic on PS3-4 gen hardware (PS, Xbox, PC) would get away with what Gothic 3 did get away with.
It seems like a game's technical advancements aren't really appreciated unless its visuals.

All the systems and the way they interact are exactly the reason that I play Bethesda games. I am there for those simulations, encumbrance and all!
Yeah it's wild. I guess for many engine = graphics and that's it.

Stuff like this just doesn't seem common in other games where NPCs are programmed to be as rigid as possible and have no decision making of their own. But surely their games are outdated!
Just a reminder even new RPG like The Outer Worlds or Horizon don't simulate that and this was oblivion. Wild.Reddit - Dive into anything

But it's outdated because it didn't look as good as Horizon :)
Yeah so seamless that it was unplayable at release, it was abandoned by the developers and took the community half a decade to fix it and even if you play it today you will still see just how seamless it is.
