The Elder Scrolls 5 New Engine Confirmed For Skyrim

[cheezMcNASTY]

In what is perhaps the best news about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim so far, Bethesda confirmed via a tweet that the game's engine is "brand new ... and it's spectacular!"

That's meaningless info to most, but for those of us who follow games a little too closely, "brand new engine" is more significantly "not Gamebryo," the troubled, notoriously glitchy skeleton inside Bethesda products like Fallout 3 and a few other titles, including the recent Epic Mickey. Bethesda community man Nick Breckon later tweeted that the new engine was built internally by the company.


Will it still feel like a Bethesda game if faces don't occasionally turn inside out, dislodge from their bodies and fly around the room? We'll find out when Skyrim launches on Xbox 360, PC and PS3 on November 11.

Well, I'm glad they've decided to listen to the most dedicated fans and fix this problem. This can only make the game sweeter.

The Gamebryo engine was starting to show its age and it was known for its glitches and performance issues so im really happy about this. If Bethesda can fit in everything that was good from previous Elder Scrolls games with some of the new things they learned from creating Fallout 3 as well as having a brand new so called 'brilliant' engine this game could be an instant classic. They could really be onto a winner and I for one am excited about its possibilities.

Gamebryo was pretty robotic. Hopefully they can at least make it a little more natural.
