It's not just the engine. Their artists just plain suck. The quality of the art, animations, and lighting are terrible by 2018 standards. Bethesda needs to train up their artists or hire new ones.

414gamer2025d ago

Agreed. It’s all outdated as hell. Wish they would start from scratch

anonymousfan2024d ago

I am discouraged by the news that TES VI and Starfield will share the same freakin' engine... I understand it'll help the modding community but why can't we see graphics like Rage 2, Wolfenstein 2, Doom?!?

UltraNova2024d ago

anonymousfan,

Seeing as F76 is headed full speed for the flop bin, I have a hunch that Bethesda will either make or license a new engine for both ES6 and Starfield. If not, then to hell with them.

Training employees costs money and these are the kind of companies that have top management and owners who'd count every penny and want monetary result as soon as possible.

Kumakai2024d ago (Edited 2024d ago )

Kind of. I’m a 3D artist. I do c4d, maya and have experience in Unreal engine, Unity and Cry-engine. There’s truth to what you are saying but most pro game designers/artists have a base level of pro skill (not to say some aren’t amazing and some less so but the skilled ones take on lead positions to oversee). The tools and abilities of the engines are what let them flourish or hold them back. In the case of Bethesda’s engine, it’s so old that it has to be hacked and you do a lot of fakes to get the graphics to look better. This is part of why performance takes a hit. Newer engines run cleaner systems with better tools that are more efficient, less frankensteined and offer better tool sets to help the artist use their skills. You get better visuals AND better performance from a modern engine.

The whole game is a drag down. I am glad it bombed

excaliburps2025d ago

The graphics look very dated. I mean, I'm not a graphics whore or anything, but goddamn! It looks PS3-era, no? Textures look muddy, the FOV being super tight might make people sick even.

Baza2025d ago

It’s the same engine as fallout 3. That game is 10 year old. Rediculous.

JCOLE131952024d ago

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Gamebryo and the Creation engine aren’t the same. I thought they built creation engine from the ground up for Skyrim. That’s besides the point though and it’s still quite dated as we all can see.

obz2024d ago

No JCole you’re completely wrong. Watch no clip f76 documentary. It’s the same engine with code from morrowind. Skyrim was just an upgrade of the engine.

JCOLE131952024d ago

Ahh I see. Thanks for the correction. With all the time they have between games you’d think they’d have a new engine by now 😒

UCForce2024d ago (Edited 2024d ago )

That’s the laziness of Bethesda. I really hate it.

DrumBeat2024d ago

New engine time, Todd. Chop Chop.

To think I used to hold these guys in such high regard. How they have fallen.

pleasuretokill2024d ago

This game looks terrible. Not so much the dated graphics/engine, I can deal with that.... The animations and stuttering are just unbearable. This engine needs to be retired. Even when Skyrim was released over 7 years ago, the graphics were decent, but, the animations were atrocious. Bethesda is falling behind the pack. R* and CDPR are the kings right now in AAA open world.

As Fallout76 Crosses 20Million Gamers Amid Success of TVSeries, Todd Howard Talks Franchise’s Future

“Fallout 76″ has found a whole new world of players thanks to the popularity of Amazon’s “Fallout” TV series. The Bethesda Game Studios title, which first launched in October 2018, crossed 20 million downloads and plays as of Wednesday.

Obscure_Observer1d 17h ago

Impressive!

Hopefully Fallout 5 will be among next gen Xbox´s launching games.

-Foxtrot1d 15h ago

Yeah will be great. Can’t wait for it on the PS6.

Notellin1d 1h ago

What's the point of mentioning the platform you plan to play on? Tribalism.

Zeref1d ago

Can't wait to not have to pay 70 dollars for it lol

ocelot0722h ago

Will probably be decent on the HP Omen Xbox but not so sure about the Dell Alienware Xbox though. But I have high hopes for the Asus ROG Ally Xbox Edition running this game at a stable 60.

thesoftware73021h ago

Fox,
I'm sure MS can't wait either; all that money they will make.

Everyone wins.
Play it on Xbox, play it on PS, play it on your cell phone, play it on PC, shit, maybe even on Nintendo.
ALL=$$$$ for Microsoft corp, literally all these companies care about.

You new here?

It's Obscure_Observer...and I like to wind him up by saying what he would say to others

I'm not even that bothered, I just find it fun.

Can’t wait to play this, on my Samsung tv Xbox app,

I'm sure Sony can't wait to be part in 30% of Microsofts profit, without spending $7,5 billion + development cost.

All free money for Sony 👍

You think it's a positive but it's funny how much of a negative it actually is...lol

Though it would be nice i think tod with his team should stay away from it let someone else take the helm like fallout new vegas.

I also hope after all these success they do not make fallout 76 number 2 sense 76 is the most profitable game they made in the series thanks to monthly subs. Then you got the billion + they made on elder scrolls online.

First thing first is the new elder scrolls title they been working on and we got more updates for starfield to come out but one has recently added a new feature called interactive maps you can see icons along with paths now true next gen.....

So yeah with starfield being there "years" of dev time biggest budget/team size do you trust them with the next fallout title?

MrDead1d 2h ago

The next fallout will be on all systems as Xbox is their smallest market. You don't restrict your flagship games to one of the worlds smallest and shrinking platform.
Bethesda still needs PC and PS as we've learnt from recent layoffs thanks to Microsoft's greed in trying to ban multiplatform publisher's from their biggest console platform.

Obscure_Observer16h ago

Whatever happened to your claims that MS should be boycotted and ultimately destroyed due its greed and monopolistic goals?

You said that the only reason MS released Starfield on PC is because its a new IP, otherwise it would an Xbox exclusive game, as MS ultimate goal is to remove games from players, right?

Now you come to realize that all of your smearing campaign along with all of your doom and gloom prophecies was for nothing!

You don´t really care about MS being destroyed as long Playstation gets some Xbox games.

The moment you find out that neither TES VI and Fallout 5 will be making it´s way to Playstation anything soon, you will be right back where you were a few months ago, shoehorning how MS must (again) be destroyed. Smh.

"Bethesda still needs PC and PS as we've learnt from recent layoffs thanks to Microsoft's greed in trying to ban multiplatform publisher's from their biggest console platform."

Last time I checked, Tango, which released Hi-Fi Rush on both PC and PS5 got shut down while Bethesda (Starfield) do not.

Yes, MS is greed. Yes they do care about the money above most things like every company does.

But just like Sony, they´ll not put their flagship titles on Playstation while damaging their own consoles in the process. I though both Phil and Sarah were clear about that subject when they confirmed that a next gen Xbox console is in development.

That said, the thing that most people don´t realize with all that port begging nonsense, is that Xbox releasing all of its flagships games on Playstation will do nothing but hurt the Playstation brand in the end.

Let me explain:

First - If all games from Xbox land on Playstation, what real interest Sony will have to continue and invest in innovative and multi hundred million dollar single player games that they´re known for? None! I mean, why would Sony take risks when the competitor is doing it in their place?

In the end, Sony will just rest on their laurels by allowing Playstation to be carried by third party publishers and ultimately, Playstation´s premiere first party games will be no more.

Second - After the recent events, you know now how far Sony is willing to go to get that MAU from Steam gamers, they literally banned Steam gamers from 120 countries and regions for it. In Microsoft´s case, you also know they will demand Playstation players to connect to a MS account to play Xbox games, which favors no other but MS itself, because they´ll be "stealing" gamers from the Playstation´s player base, via the ultimate "Trojan Horse".

As a wise man said: "Be careful what you wish for"

Oh Obscure, the irony in what you're saying is crazy.

Fallout 5 will most likely be 80% generated by AI.

It's a good show. They are really good at live action trailers.

Huey_My_D_Long21h ago

Yall have alot to prove after starfield. Personally I think they will squander the potential for the game, but hey, I look forward to being proven wrong when its released.

Yeah the TV Series was better than I expected.
