What I don't get is why don't they milk their engines a bit more.
I would expect it to make sense to pump out a few more games after GTA 5 based on the same engine. New maps, new stories, same mechanics. I know GTA Online exists but that's something else entirely.
The same goes for Bethesda. The last Elder Scrolls game we've had was Skyrim. Why haven't they taken that game and re-released it in a few years on a new map and with a new story? It seems wasteful to not do so.
- braebo 1y agoPlease god no. Bethesdas engine has been trash by modern standards for like 15 years. It should have been sent to the recycle bin after Skyrim. Their games are almost as crippled as Nintendo’s have been by the ~~switch~~ potato. Even the Skyrim remaster they just released feels like PS2 tech.
- yreg 1y agoYou don't have to like the game, but Creation Engine was definitely not "trash" by 2010 standards, lol.
- spacemadness 1y agoOnce you've played a version of it heavily modded, you realize that if they were to do this, they'd need to improve it up to the level the modding community has already. The mod community has added a ton of free content to the game and added a lot of graphical and quality of life improvements. They need to compete with that as well. Instead they chose not to compete and have paid mods which didn't go over too well.
- yreg 1y agoI've played heavily modded versions of both of those games, but let's not kid ourselves that the available mods are anything like another first party game would be. (I'm alluding to the scale and richness of the world, story playtime, cast and such.)
