"It never made any sense": Bethesda staff hit by Xbox cuts thought the Skyrim and Fallout link would protect them, and say the studio's future RPGs will suffer.
Also what, like, Bethesda is going to somehow make the Creation Engine not a giant pile of shit, with now 15 more years of acculumated technical debt from never doing a full ground up rebuild… ?
We’ve been saying this since Morrowind: Oblivion, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fallout NV, Fallout 4 - Gamebryo sucks, what are they going to do to this wheezing trash heap etc etc - and every time they do the same thing: update the graphics and gameplay marginally, introduce new elements (dual wielding magic, radiant quests, settlement building, whatever) release it as the “new” version (outrageously buggy ofc) and largely let the mod community fix it. I’ll go out on a limb here and say that’s probably what FO5 and ESVI will also do, it’s the path of least resistance and nobody will be bringing out their surprised Pikachu faces.
I don’t really care all that much because I like the games, none more than FONV, so I’d be happy for Obsidian to hot rod FO4 into something equally interesting.
Yeah I mean like… a full on conversion at the level of Fallout London or something like that, but with access to more ‘guts’ of the engine… done by pros?
Yeah, I’d bet Obsidian can do something like that, at the least, and it would be broadly better than FO4, again at the least.
Also my absolute random bet for FO5/ES6 will be radiant enemies along the line of Spore creatures, hahahah!
