I'm also hoping they will be using a different engine for this, or at least significantly improved. In my opinion, Bethesda's games in terms of gameplay and story are great but their engine just kills the immersion and atmosphere that could be there. Imagine the Fallout/Oblivion world with the graphics engine of Metro 2033 or even Crysis. :woot: THAT would be an amazing game. But no, we'll probably see gamebyro once more with hardly any changes. :cry:

Todd Howard was quoted as saying it uses the Fallout 3 engine just highly modified.

:( I was hoping it uses iD's Tech 5 engine and not the buggy Gamebryo engine... imagine TES 5 using the Tech 5 engine...

I'd like to see a hybrid of Oblivion and Morrowind...

The open HUUUUUUUGE world of Morrowind, but the environmental detail and way that leveling worked in Oblivion. I have over something like 800 hours in my Oblivion copy.. I love that game.

Yeah well, Bethesda are known to love Gamebryo.. and never fixing it.. so expect a buggy game.

Part of the problem is that it's hard to replicate the bugs in such huge games, they tend to be very random, so it's hard to fix what you can replicate, or never actually come across in testing.

I just don't think they test it very thoroughly. There is 1 game breaking bug in Fallout New Vegas that i've heard of, and i've heard nothing but complains about the bugs in that game, plus any other GameBryo engine game.

What they should do, is get rid of that ancient POS engine, and make one or get one that works.

i think you got that backwards

oblivion was bigger than morrow wind, if it felt small you were quick travelling by POIs too much and not riding a horse or running around enough.

oblivion looked prettier overall, but had less detail imho than morrowwind, in that morrow wind had no copy pasta locations, where as oblivion was full of copy pasta.

leveling was awful in oblivion and you could easily make the game to hard to do anything if you didn't power game plan out your leveling path in advance and take the time to track down all the skill trainers and make sure you got 5 points in specific core skills each specific level and made sure to only level up certain skills each level and so on. otherwise your best bet to do anything and every thing was to simply never sleep so you wouldn't level up.

fo3 was better in some regards iirc, except that you started out so weak, and then ended up super powered. i have to base that on trusted opinion of gamer friends though, as i got bored of dying frequently and running out of ammo beforei could clear the pharmacy just outside of the starting vault, and put in god mode and gave myself exp to hit level 20. i guess it depends on which platform you played it on two from what i hear, and how much you used that terrible queue combat system that was a legacy feature from the old FO games(it was great in the older ones but i never used it in fo3 except to try it out)

not sure why people would want mtero2033 or crysis 's engine for a game like TES, to get the large open environments in these games you'd have to scale back the graphics dramatically on those engines just to get them to run on ultra high end computers. while both engines have the ultra high end graphics, and do give the illusion of wide open go anywhere levels, that's really just an illusion.

the engine that oblivion used and has been modded for fo3 was pretty nice to look at overall in technical terms, and runs pretty damn decently considering the graphics overall. it could definitely be improved and everything i'm hearing about FO:NV (which wasn't bethesda devved) they could stand to step up QA and tweak and mod the engine a bit more.

what i'd really love to see is some kind of coop/mp mode in tes5. if i could p2p or lan up with just one friend it would be wicked awesome, even if one of us got hero status and the other got minion status or something. that was the one thing missing from oblivion for me.

Speculation about The Elders Scroll V: Skyrim has been running rampant since the teaser traileras shown at the Spike VGAs and the teaser site went live soon after. We know one thing for certain though, the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 game from Bethesda Softworks won't be built on the same game engine as any previous games.

While there be dragons in the game, Skyrim will also sport a brand new shiny engine according to the Bethblog twitter. "Seeing lots of speculation about #tesv game engine. It's brand new... and it's spectacular!" it said.

Good news as the game engines from Oblivion, Fallout3 and Fallout: New Vegas are beginning to show their age.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is due out on November 11, 2011.

Its not Oblivion engine.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.

      I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.

      I'm not sure how old the school is, but they've been doing this since GTA 3. Back in those days we'd be lucky for game companies to release on the PC at all. And with the current state of Sony (or Microsoft) their gaming wing won't be getting a penny from me.
