I have high expectations for Creation Engine 2. Bethesda got a lot out of the original. I have no doubt that they've taken their time with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 just to make sure this engine is ready for them.
As hyped as I am for Starfield, I can't help but think that it's basically a massive scale beta test for Elder Scrolls 6, just to make sure all the kinks are worked out before they release the successor to Skyrim.
I have high expectations for Creation Engine 2.
Why? Genuinely curious. Gamebryo and Creation are nothing but messy clusterfucks with horrible performance and tons of really bizzarre bugs
Because Bethesda made some of the my most enjoyed games ever on the first engine, and presumably the successor will be better.
"Better" is awfully genereous considering their games seem to get worse and buggier with every release, needing the entire community to do the QA job for them because they know clowns will still buy broken products if it has the right coat of paint
If I'm a clown for enjoying their full releases like Skyrim and Fallout 4, then show me where the makeup is. I'll wear that shit all day.
Why, it may even have 16 times the detail! I love that it just works too!
I do find it interesting to watch the hype cycle for this game kick off. It's gamer memory on display. The game may be good, but I sure as hell won't go near it at launch. When promoting FO 76 Todd used an interesting method of advertising called "lying". It would be good to see the community being very skeptical of this.
It's also hard to believe that it will have the kind of unrestricted modding that makes Bethesda titles into classics, they have been constantly trying to figure out how to push macro transactions. It's a tough sell to charge someone $20 for the colour blue on the armour if there's 6,000 mods that are more creative, and free.
I do hope I'm very wrong to doubt this game. I would love to mod the hell out of a vast space adventure. I just have no reason going in to trust anything Bethesda says.
Edit: corrected my autocorrect.
I'm in the same boat as you. I really want it to be good but I don't trust a thing Todd says anymore.
Can we now enter a cave (tiny one) without a loading screen?
To be honest, the trailer looks like fallout 4 in space. Same stiff animations and the graphics are already below the current gen.
I seriously doubt it's going to be very different from the previous engine but I don't really care as long as the game gives a proper 'bethesda' experience.
It's been nearly decades, and NPC dialogue animation potentially looks as bad as it did in Oblivion. Stiff and takes me out of it.
Other games can do better, why can't Bethesda?
