Howard...Same Engine to Be Used for ESO VI & Starfield

Hello All

Was glancing over several game sites for updates and news stuff when I came on this over at Pushsquare (PS4)…..

http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2018/11/bethesda_will_keep_the_same_fundamental_game_engine_for_the_elder_scrolls_vi_starfield

Bethesda's Todd Howard has confirmed that the developer is using its same old creaky engine to power Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI. God help us all.
For those out of the loop, Bethesda's Creation Engine came into being with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but the foundations of the engine have been in play for a lot longer than that, dating all the way back to The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Every Bethesda Game Studios title since then has been built using that same software on some level, although obviously, the developer has improved it over time.


"Fallout 76 uses a new renderer, a new lighting system and a new system for the landscape generation. For Starfield even more of it changes. And for The Elder Scrolls 6, out there on the horizon even more," Howard tells Forbes, confirming that future games will indeed utilise the Creation Engine.
"We like our editor. It allows us to create worlds really fast and the modders know it really well. There are some elementary ways we create our games and that will continue because that lets us be efficient and we think it works best," Howard explains.


I've been playing the Fallout 76 Beta and now I know why the game looks...Dated...compared to recent and newer titles especially Red Dead, AC: Origins and Odyssey, COD & Battllefield, Spiderman.....

    LOL yay! Creation ENGINE FOREVER! ESO should have been created on it too!

    also to be fair Red Dead kinda was a little wonky too. But yeah, every major release of their games have gotten better, and their reasons for using it are sound, it is easy for them and their modders know it well.

    JUST PLEASE ADD CAPE PHYSICS! I NEED CAPES IN MY RPG's

    There was already a thread about this, which was locked since it's not ESO related.

    Also graphically I'm fine with the current engine it's the bugs that come with it that annoys me.

    Moved onto BDO and GW2 Skyrim, ATS/ETS2, ACNH and the overall goodness of single player games

    At least with the creation engine some "Unofficial patch" mods will come out to fix them since Betheda won't do it.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Don't know what's with all the panic around it. It's gonna be at least another 20-25 years before ES VI is released, as Bethesda is too busy porting Skyrim Super Duper edition to toasters and vacuum cleaners :neutral:
