Elder Scrolls V to Use New Engine

[RhombusHatesYou]

This so much. And at the VERY least, they could've learned from Oblivion and tried to improve the engine the slightest bit before releasing Fallout 3/NV.

There's only so much tweaking you can do to an engine that you're licensing off of another company.

My wishlist for the new engine:
1) Facial/body animations that are less wooden

That has nothing to do with the engine.

Nor does a lot of the comments made here; as for this "new engine" they've already announced it's just an expansion of Gamebyro when claiming they started with the Fallout 3 tech.

Unless they've picked up the rights to the Gamebryo engine on the sly that would be a neat trick seeing as the company that licensed it out folded.

I'm just going by what they said in the Eurogamer interview.

I've watched the trailer 4 times and to quote some random guy on youtube:
I CAN'T STOP FAPPING! (not litterary)

 

[Skoldpadda]

By the time they get to Elder Scrolls 442915 (I dunno what that is in Roman numerals, and can't be bothered finding out) all the bugs should be gone.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

They didn't have anything above M.
Ils sont fous ces romains!

Imma build new PC for this!

Now, on topic. I've taken a look at the trailer, and it's disappointing. Epic in terms for what is to come though. I really hope this new engine carries it far, and doesn't utterly destroy the modding community. I've always been a fan of mods.

 

[Perturabo]

Whoops, double post.

 

[EHKOS]

Thank the Lord, please no more clunky....please?

 

[furry-ryuu-ken]

I wonder if there's going to be a "mages guild" sorta thing in this one. I remember have 100% chomil. It was fun. And dragons. Dragons. dragons. DRAGONS.[HEADING=1]DRAGONS[/HEADING] how awesome is that going to be.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

It has dragons in it too. Just thought I'd add that.

 

[Continuity]

Um, since when is it news for a TES game to be on a new engine... weren't they all? (excluding expansions etc)

 

[OManoghue]

Definitely the best thing I've heard in a while. While the engine never bothered me in the past, there's nothing wrong with it looking better.

 

[GameMaNiAC]

They can move on to putting in a diagonal walking/running animation.

Definitely! I think one of bigger flaws in Oblivion and Morrowind (and Fallout 3 & NV, since they use the same engine) is the lack of diagonal walking/running. I play in first person and try to ignore it but it REALLY ruins the immersion every time I realize my character is just sliding diagonally. Or when I get into the third-person mode to check him out.

OT: I'm really excited about Skyrim. I hope it turns out good.

 

[Liberaliter]

Definitely good news, I would have enjoyed the game regardless though. TES is Bethesda's flagship franchise, if anything deserves a new engine and lots of time and attention, it's this.

 

[Private Custard]

If it has a mental physics engine that still won't allow me to lay out all my stuff in a pleasing-to-the-eye manner without exploding in all directions when I dare to even look at them, then I'm not buying it. Exploring is all well and good, but I like to come back to my own personalised house.

I've had a perfect (extremely simple) idea to solve this problem since about a week after the release of Oblivion. But no-one listens, so they can keep being stubborn and producing crap!

On the plus side, I'm always a Nord, so Skyrim is brilliant. I may not be looked down upon, or feared, as much as previous installments!

that's what I was thinking. I recall in one of the Oblivion trailers that they have some kind of ethos that compells them to make a new engine between each Elder Scrolls title.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Fan-fucking-tastic.
I was getting pretty goddamn sick of the previous monstrosity.

Now we just have to wait and see all of the horrible, terrible things that will go wrong with this one.

My wishlist for the new engine:
1) Facial/body animations that are less wooden
2) The ability to have conversations without freezing the game.
3) LESS PROGRAM CRASHES.

4) more weapons in the game (like spears,crossbows and trowing weapons)
