Starfield [XBSX|S, PC]

That's a last gen performance choice, not an engine limitation.

 

Sigh. DSoup is clearly taking about the cheese wheel meme from Skyrim. You know, the 100s of youtube videos out there of 1000s of cheese wheels being rendered at the same time. He obviously doesn't believe that every cheese wheel in the game is being rendered all the time.

 

It is just not about rendering a lot of stuff but keeping the state of the world and scripting everything. That is the hard part of the "Bethesda engine".

 

That has been implemented since Morrowind two generations ago.
Plenty of time to implement in a new and more modern engine.

 

Perhaps split out this conversation into its own thread?

 

A choice which carried over into current gen Fallout, though.

 

That Secret Sauce

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

I really wonder what will become of Starfield.

 

It'll be a Bethesda game. Launch late, sort of buggy, fans will love it and it will be essentially half a game with DLC that completes it.

 

Well id rather go with SC then, as it kinda resembles that, but with beyond-next gen graphics atleast, as i doubt bethesda will deliver that with starfield.

 

But they're updating their Gamebryo engine again! At least they should catch up to last gen now.

 

First tweet about this game in 2.5 years from Bethesda.

 

Who says they are not or haven’t? Just because they use a in-house engine whose name doesn’t change, it does not mean they aren’t developing more modern iterations.

It’s not like they have to market to their devs to convince them to adopt for engine use so they don’t have assign it a new moniker or affix a “shiny” integer at the end.

 

I was hoping Starfield would be further off.

 

Why?

 

That's the most likely outcome...
