What is pre-production? Did they already buy the snacks? Are they just thinking about starting?
Basically they've written the design document for the next game, which is why they can reveal the engine because that's been decided on. It doesn't mean they know the story yet, but they likely have a good general idea, because that would inform the design document.
For example if the game needed jetpacks, but that wasn't an existing engine feature, then they have a plan for jetpacks. And if you NEED jetpacks, you probably know roughly where they're going to be used, so you have some gameplay/story ideas mapped out.
But also a design plan and a finished product are very different things. You might plan for one thing, but create something very different.
So the game is probably still 4-5 years away.
if it's made my Bethesda, i'll pass. If it's made by obsidian count me in.
obsidian is doing a spin off before 5 comes out
So if this releases after TES 6 I guess I’ll play it with my friends in assisted living?
Right? Like I just turned 48. It's been 15 years since the last elder scrolls. I don't count online bc I don't care about online.
I'll most likely be pushing 65 by the time fallout 5 releases
Look at it this way: you could be the next "Skyrim Grandma"
I feel like there will be quite a competition once millennials hit that age
Man I wish Lemmy had a way to give awards to comments (like old Reddit did), cause this one absolutely deserve it! xD
Yeah yeah yeah half life 3 too.
God I hope Half Life 3 ain't being built on the Creation Engine. That would suck.
It'd be really weird if it was.
They took so long to start that all the hype is gone. I've got anti-hype, I fully expect to be disappointed. It's going to suck.
I thought fallout 4 was pretty mid, which killed any hype I might've had for 5. Did not like having a backstory forced on my character.
Gamer expectations are crazy high. Fall out 4 was objectively a decent game, and you could do nearly anything you wanted in the game and it had branching narratives. Some people will just never be happy.
I said it was mid not that it was bad, and I didn't assert my statement as if it was an objective fact. It's just my opinion.
I had some fun with the usual fallout gameplay but the dialogue and story were the typical Bethesda oversanitized stuff, which I find very boring now. The settlement mechanic was annoying. The backstory killed a lot of the immersion for me especially because it was predictable and kind of cheesy.
There's no need to get defensive, not everyone is going to like games that you like.
I'm not defensive. I just think gamers have unrealistic expectations these days. Everything needs to be brand new with novel mechanics, hyper realistic, the most interesting story ever or people aren't happy. It's boring.
So you didn't liked Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas either? Both games had characters with predefined backstories too.
Fallout 3 was pretty good. New Vegas was solid.
And let's not be disingenuous, the backstories for both were not taken anywhere close to the level of 4. I'm not playing this game where people try to argue with my opinion of something.
Pretty sure the only reason they're doing it is as a token move for some court order or something. I'm really not interested either. No hype for me thanks. I'd rather have an actual game then the nebulous promise of a game that's going to be disappointing.
Starfield was their last shot for me. They fumbled that.
that just means itll surpass expectations of sucking, instead of disappointing hype for not being perfect
Genuinely, like, I know where the money went obviously, but what about the shear amount of time they’ve had to make anything, like what the hell was actually happening in that studio honestly
Hooray!
but creation
I'm ecstatic, other engines just aren't moddable like creation, this is GREAT news.
It's a very very old engine though. As funny as it is to put a pot on someone's head I really hope the AI have a bit more brains in this one. It would also be nice if they could stall the interior of buildings inside the exterior so I don't have to look at a loading screen whenever I open a door.
unreal is older than gamebryo/creation is
and the AI in fo4 was actually pretty smart tho, hoping it gets improved even more
The engine suck donkey dick.
It has technical limitations that cannot be patched around.
other engines just aren't moddable like creation
Thank fuck for that.
"And the elder scrolls VI is built on the elder scrolls IV engine"
(Probably) Lol
For once I'm glad a game will be using Creation Engine. That's how low Unreal has fallen.
