Elder Scrolls V to Use New Engine

[Tdc2182]

great, now if only they could confirm that the gameplay won't be garbage

It's gonna do well enough without your money. Don't buy it.

well excuse me for wanting it to be a good game.

You're excused.

Just in case anyone is interested, this is a quote from Bethesda's twitter account-

Seeing lots of speculation about #tesv game engine. It's brand new... and it's spectacular!

I was expecting them to use Id 5, but if they can do anything better than Gamebryo, it works for me.

This is good....I think they pushed it to the limit with new vegas

As long as:

Your guy/gal can no longer slide diagonally. This ruined 3rd person for me in both Fallout and Oblivion.

Combat is fixed. This beggar I am fighting should not take 3 or 4 hits of a sword to kill.

Your character's animation no longer is frozen when you're in mid-jump. This also ruined 3rd person for me.

I want the problems fixed before Oblviion. No, that was typed correctly, I did not make a typo. I wish for Bethesda to go back in time and fix these problems.

Regardless: Woo! Skyrim!

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.

It seems we need a little more clarification before we can be sure of the 'new' engine's exact origins. All the information we have received so far is vague and incomplete.

Given that im a console gamer and the "vanilla" experience is all im interested in then that wouldnt bother me at all. I would hope that mod support it an afterthought in almost all games developed these days.

So instead of them, say, bringing mod support to consoles you'd rather have them not implement a feature at all? Or; you'd rather them not implement a feature for PC because you're unable to use it on your console?


As for the thread itself: If they truly are changing to a different engine Skyrim may actually be worth buying. Had they stuck with the Gamebryo engine, and all it's issues, I more then likely would not purchase the game.

sex

the new engine has sex, im buying it!

Best first post ever.

OT: Gamebyro is really showing it's age. Glad their taking this step.

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.

They didn't have anything above M.

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.

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

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.
