Bethesda always advertises their “new engine”, but really it’s exactly the same engine they’ve been using since Morrowind, with minor logic improvements and updates to the graphical assets. It’s to the point where a lot of bugs have ancestry trees.

Yep. Call it Gamebryo, Call it Creation Engine, Call it what the fuck ever.

Its still NetImmerse.

They can keep slapping fresh makeup on it, and keep wraping new ducttape around it when the old stuff wears out and fails, but it'll always be the same engine, regardless of the name changes.

They dont want to invest in making a whole new engine (which, given Bethesda, would be just as bad or worse than what they use now), and they don't seem to want to license anyone elses engine. Which is weird, cause subsidiary studios don't seem to have the same issue.. Like, Ghostwire Tokyo is built on Unreal Engine 4.
