To say that Starfield and Fallout 76 are using the “same engine” because they might share an editor and other common traits is like saying Indian and Chinese meals are identical because they both feature chicken and rice. "
It’s true that Bethesda’s games have long been criticized for their game-breaking bugs and inability to reach the beautiful graphical standards of other high-end games...
Bethesda finally hit the triple crown.i dont care if you call it an engine,smengine or mehzine.
at the end of the day the game looks dated and shit
Yup.Didn't Bethesda blacklist Kotaku a few years ago because they kept leaking Bethesda's upcoming games? I guess that means Jason is trying to get under Bethesda's pants for the special exclusive coverage and benefits...
The difference is that God of War 1 and 2 were only a few years old when God of War 3 came out.. 5 years to be exact... that is 2005-2010, that was still a fairly new engine.He isn't actually wrong though. If I recall correctly God of War 3 is using the same engine as the first 2. Engines can be heavily upgraded to the point of looking totally different.
Okay, that's great that he does investigation, but this opinion piece isn't an investigation.Schreier is one of the only game journalists around and it's funny how much shit everybody gives him here. I get the history of neo and him but he does do real investigative shit which is more that most video game personalities do at their sites.
Bethesda's models looks like shit, especially their facial animations. I dig the art direction they are going for but it's getting played out especially when things like the Witcher 3, uncharted 4, rdr2, etc come out and put it to shame. That doesn't even mention the modders who put in all that unpaid work and do a great job. It's buggy as hell and I'm not interested in fo 76.

...setting off a wave of outrage that’s become oh-so-common in the world of video games.
Explain in detail why he's wrong and you're not just shitposting. There's been plenty of posters in this thread that are trying to explain why he's correct, but you did a one off. Explain to me why I shouldn't dismiss you as a glue eating inbred mouth breather that types furiously with two fingers.lmao this guy is such a tool.
The game is mediocre shite and Jason is the epitome of bought "journalist".
You'd defend Bethesda too, if you had on the line:
- Bethesda early previews
- Gold review discs
- Ad revenue
- All kinds of free promotional gear websites get (my buddy had a small gaming site and even he got free games and trinkets from game companies. All he did was email them and they mailed him boxes of stuff for free)
I dunno about their site but we’re kept in the dark about ad stuff. It’s never something I take into account anyways and I don’t have a clue what will run on the site and certainly not YT. I think that’s the best way to do it - the ad team does their thing separately. It’s not like we could realistically post a positive assessment of FO76’s performance, after all. It’s in a bad state at the moment.But if your company's livelihood depends on advertising revenue from the businesses you are covering/reviewing, and generate traffic by having exclusive scoops... well... you toe the line and you toe it well. You are going to play ball or your editor will do it for you.

An engine isn't an engine. If you've been paying attention to the past 30 years, they aren't building these things from the ground up.Because an engine is an engine, the dude is arguing semantics just as a way to slam gamers again, I'm tired of this attitude coming from "gaming journalists" who want to talk down to their own audience.
Also "glue eating inbred mouth breather"? Why so sensitive over this? Are you secretly Jason Schreier himself?

To a small degree that, but mostly it's the ragebait. Ragebait is a consistent form of clicks/traffic and thus, revenue. Scoops only come once in a while if at all."and generate traffic by having exclusive scoops...
Wrong. An engine isn't just an engine and most of the times, an engine consists of other engines too, like the physics engine Havoc which is an engine that also changes all the time.
My view: the majority of people playing video games don' t know anything about game engines. They know perhaps there is an engine called CryENGINE, Unreal Engine and Unity and that's it.
He has a background in reee++Does this journalist have a background in C++ or something? Is he even qualified to tell us what game engines are and are not?
Maybe he should defend his readers as a so called game journalist. Disgusting guy, disgusting website. If I ever browse Kotaku again, may the Lord strike me with thunder from heaven. Amen.
Goddmb @Horns, it's like you read in my mind. Some serious MGS Psycho Mantis shit going on here
Oh you poor dear.
How dare that naughty man upset you with his factually correct statement.
