Goddamn everyone here is so dismissive or apathetic, it’s a little disappointing and sad to see.
I’m not 100% gung-ho about this or anything, but I’m pleasantly unsurprised and I’m gonna start building up a tiny bit of excitement for it.
Like why can’t we just be kind of happy or excited that we’re gonna get more of what we like? Does everything really have to have some kind of negative connotation these days?
For once I’m glad a game will be using Creation Engine. That’s how low Unreal has fallen.
So if this releases after TES 6 I guess I’ll play it with my friends in assisted living?
Right? Like I just turned 48. It’s been 15 years since the last elder scrolls. I don’t count online bc I don’t care about online.
I’ll most likely be pushing 65 by the time fallout 5 releases
See you in the home! Maybe there will be a wheelchair magic item in the game as a joke for fans. Like maybe wheelchair mounts?
Look at it this way: you could be the next “Skyrim Grandma”
I’m out of the loop - is that just another iteration of the engine Bethesda has been using forever or did someone finally punch whoever keeps making that call in the right body part to make it stop?
First off, you clearly haven’t played a Bethesda game since Skyrim. Bethesda has actually been making a ton of improvements to the engine over the years.
Second, rethink what you said. Do you really think every other engine isn’t continually updating the same engine over the past several decades?
Unreal Engine 6 is about to release. Do you seriously think that Epic is completely rewriting the engine from scratch for each version?
Do you really think that Unity is getting a ground-up rewrite every few years? Or GameMaker? Or Godot?
No developer is going to throw away a giant body of software and start over from scratch if they can help it. It’s absolutely insane. You take what you have, and upgrade it and adapt it for what you need.
They’re making it in Creation 3, which is almost certainly a new iteration of Gamebryo/Creation Engine.
They took so long to start that all the hype is gone. I’ve got anti-hype, I fully expect to be disappointed. It’s going to suck.
Just wait until the official reveal and you’ll be back onboard that hype train in seconds.
Pretty sure the only reason they’re doing it is as a token move for some court order or something. I’m really not interested either. No hype for me thanks. I’d rather have an actual game then the nebulous promise of a game that’s going to be disappointing.
Starfield was their last shot for me. They fumbled that.
Genuinely, like, I know where the money went obviously, but what about the shear amount of time they’ve had to make anything, like what the hell was actually happening in that studio honestly
that just means itll surpass expectations of sucking, instead of disappointing hype for not being perfect
But if it surpasses expectations does that mean it gets a raise for doing a good job??!
No. It just gets additional responsibilities with no pay raise.
“And the elder scrolls VI is built on the elder scrolls IV engine”
(Probably) Lol
You say that as if Unreal Engine gets a ground-up rewrite for every single version.
Code gets upgraded and adapted over time. And the Creation Engine is no different.

Cool, I’ll give this hype train a miss though.
I mean this should surprise no one after how well the TV show did. Probably not coming till like 2036 and two more rounds of mass layoffs from Xbox.
Is Fallout 5 the same game or a different game to the one allegedly being developed by Obsidian?
Assuming this was decided after microslop decided to mass produce the Fallout IP faster and faster, I’d say they’re different games.
Different games, Fallout 5 is developed by Bethesda after TES 6, Obsidian is working on another new Fallout
Mmm… I hoped the IP was transferred from one studio to another. Seems more like a borrowing.
Don’t know what Xbox would do if Obsidian ends making a better game and the Bethesda game is overshadowed by it.
Microsoft basically took it from Bethesda and cleared out a bunch of their core staff
The IP might not have been transferred, but Bethesda’s product ownership has been revoked. They didn’t even let outside teams touch their offshoot projects (like apps), and now the IP is probably going to be milked
Maybe obsidian will do something interesting with it before it inevitably is reduced to slop
What, like how Obsidian made a better Fallout 3 than Fallout 3 with New Vegas?
Yeah, the difference being Fallout 3 was well received and the studio had some pedigree. While Fallout 76 and Starfield were actively disliked.
I’m not sure what happened with 76 since I lost interest upon finding out it was multiplayer, but it’s really well received now when looking at Steam reviews
The steam reviews aren’t accurate. The review timeline of steam shows suspiciously low negative reviews during release, a disastrous release with game breaking bugs and a strong backlash against the horrible monetization systems, to say nothing of the shitstorm that bethesda caused outside of the game itself. Iirc that was also a point in time that steam made a big deal out of hiding negative reviews for corpos under the guise of fighting review bombing.
Also it’s still at 50 on metacritic.
Yeah, the game is in a better place now. The problem being they shouldn’t have released as it was.
Given the downward trend from 3 -> 4 (and from 2 -> 3 from what I hear) this is a game that will really need to impress before I consider picking it up.
I’d argue 4 is actually better than 3, just not in any way that actually makes it worth playing. 4 is a mediocre S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like, 3 is hot garbage.
3 and New Vegas are great games. 4 was okay, they just sold a lot of the soul in exchange for mass appeal, just like Skyrim did compared to Oblivion and Morrowind
2 to 3 isn’t really a genuine comparison though. They’re different genres.
I dont believe you
