  Not content to look outdated in 2015 or 2023, now they’re going to look outdated in 2030.

    2015? that codebase started in morrowind. and say what you want about that game but it is not a looker. it launched the same year as metroid prime.

      I didn’t think Skyrim was too outclassed compared to its peers in 2011, given that it was so much larger and doing so much more than a lot of them under the hood. But Fallout 4 came out alongside The Witcher 3, and the difference between the two was night and day. Then of course Baldur’s Gate 3 next to Starfield, and I have to scratch my head wondering what the hell Bethesda is doing still running this tech stack.

        Todd Howard doesn’t know how to make games any other way.

        It’s not entirely out of question that they’ll use Unreal for graphics while retaining Gamebryo for gameplay. That’s kinda how the Oblivion remaster works. And might be best of both worlds if they manage to make Unreal not suck in terms of performance

      Morrowind? Gamebryo is the continuation of the NetImmerse engine. Development started in 1997 with the first game released in 1999.

        yeah morrowind used netimmerse, first time bethesda used it.

      I think Gamebryo (neé NetImmerse) is even a bit older than Morrowind.

        yeah it’s not bethesda’s engine. but my point was about where the codebase for the creation engine comes from, and that’s the morrowind code.

  I love how the Gamebryo site is still up. I thought it was funny it was still up like 10 years ago when I looked last, and it’s still up now without any changes.
