okay, you clearly don't want to answer. I don't why, but thats fine. Just forget about it.

Studios tend to rename engines with updates to it. Slipspace was still Blam at its core. It’s just that 343 is trash.
And there’s nothing wrong with it but it’s kinda obvious Bethesda doesn’t put in the time to clean it up as they should. A new engine doesn’t mean what people assume it does nor is something like UE5 some industrywide panacea either; it’s more than likely just a resource hog.
It wouldn’t surprise me if TotK still uses The Wind Waker engine for instance.
I don’t have an issue with Creation Engine and I recognize BGS games to do a lot of things most games don’t bother to and that’s part of the magic to their games… but with how bugs always reappear game after game shows they don’t do the work they should cleaning it up.
Those early rumors were clearly true. About why land vehicles were cut and why space flight was giving them issues… Unfortunate.
Betting that Phil Spencer forced Todd to release it no matter what. Sad to see

Series sales are declining YoY while in its prime... heading for the holidays with a Sony that has a big ace in Spideman while Nintendo has what looks like the best 2D Mario game they've ever created.
No choice. And Xbox will get creamed anyway. At least MS/Bethesda were smart to give themselves the month of September and avoid October all together. Trying to gasp for air while Spider-man marketing goes full swing... on top of 100 million+ consumers hungry for everyone's favorite plumber ain't a good idea.
They gonna try to ride whatever this is for as much as they can.

Then there's no point in having this conversation since you don't actually understand any of the fundamentals.
And I believe them when they say it's vastly improved - That does not go against anything I said. I do disagree when they say it's a modern engine. If it were, it wouldn't bring modern PCs to their knees while not providing any groundbreaking mechanics, nor it would be cell-based around a POI and require a loading screen every time you move anywhere. That's not a modern engine, that's the characteristic of an engine that is incapable of proper modern data streaming methods and instead relies on loading a full cell in RAM / VRAM with minimal outbound and inbound data streaming.
Just look at VRAM occupancy barely budges when you're... anywhere, pretty much [18:50 and beyond]
Compared to a proper modern game, where VRAM occupancy is constantly changing [17:47 and beyond]
Correct
There's no point in cleaning it up though, for their needs, the engine is just too bloody old and with tacked on features. They need to figure out what makes their engine ticket based on their needs and re-write it from scratch. They can keep the baseline functionality, of course, but how all systems integrate needs to be completely re-written and re-imagined. This is pretty much what happened with UE4, and why that engine took a long time to be released. The time for Bethesda to do this is now so that Starfield 2 can take advantage of it.
It's not
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom uses the same engine as Splatoon
And Nintendo Switch Sports!
Those bugs only exist because the CE is garbage. The magic comes from parts of that engine, which I pointed out before, and that can be re-written for a new engine. Call it CE3 for all I care, naming doesn't matter.
Xbox Game Studios
Playstation Studios
Not really a fair comparsion because Horizon has an entire swimming mechanic build around,
But the water in Starfield looks very ugly.
15:10 - How these guys keep getting away with this shit is beyond me. This cannot happen in the game. This is a literal lie.
Even people who hated souls-like games loved Elden Ring, that tells me more than i need to know.
Graphics are definitely competitive with anything released this generation so far (i.e. there is no PS3/PS4 level of graphics here). But that's on the PC with MAX settings at 4k/60FPS. I'm not using any VRR or FSR2.0.
Enemies also aren't as dumb as people are saying.. I almost died with the encounter. And no, I'm not a bad player.. LOL
Textures in Bethesda Games are usually very high quality,
But human models leave a lot to be desired.

After showing the initial title and write up on Twitter saying it was boring, etc You can't make this shit up! LolJust catching up to everything now.....Gene Park gave it a perfect score?lord....
Game of generation
Generation of mediocrity, imagine hiding review scores, all the dirty bs and still didn't manage reach Sony level.
Once negative cunts like Eurogamer, EDGE amd Gamespor joins the fun to balance out the astroturfers, it gonna dip below 85 lol

Downgrading to the Standard Edition, game is great but not Red Dead 2, Elden Ring, Breath of The Wild levels of greatness for the $99 price point, Todd and Bethesda made it looks like it was going to be the new Skyrim but it just isn't on the same level, it also doesn't help that reviewers didnt had to pay for it, there is a reason why Skyri mwas re-released on every single platform.
The game is good, but about the same level of quality as FFXVI, Armored Core, great games but nothing groundbreaking. it's basically Fallout 4 in space which was what i was expecting, but the travel between planets and exploration is much more limited than what they advertised, even knowing there wouldn't be seamless exploration,
I could bet some stocks that once the game is released out of Early Access the reactions will extremely polarizing and the Metacritic score will drop even more (maybe to 79/80)
TESVI might be in serious issues, Bethesda really needs a new engine. There's no way they did not consider seamless transition and vehicles in development, something must have happend during the budgetary and technology assement process.
I'm 100% positive the game quality will skyrocket with updates and expansions, but it's not worth the price for the hype it got.

Medicore is your opinion, one the vast majority in the community would disagree with, myself included.
It’s amusing seeing the same people that spend weeks shitting on FFXVI now crying and getting defensive over Loadfield 
That’s been the best part of this review cycle.
