Topic	Kotaku: "The Controversy Over Bethesda's 'Game Engine' Is Misguided"
Darmik 11/15/18 8:42:48 PM #22:	Smashingpmkns posted... Regardless it is a shit engine. But is there another engine out there that is designed for Bethesda games? Probably not. Turtlemayor333 posted... Yes. One famous example is that he reported in order to move a single rock, Destiny developers had to let the rendering run overnight due to how slow and outdated their development tools are. People are using "engine" as shorthand, I don't see the big deal. Do they still have this problem today though? Like he reported the Bioware team had a lot of issues implementing RPG systems into the Frostbite engine because they simply did not exist. But years later those systems are in place. They impacted the development of Dragon Age and Mass Effect but they've gone through those growing pains and are in a better place despite the issues. That's the point of the article. That an engine isn't some catch all thing that can simply solve all of their development issues. It's something that's constantly and updated throughout the years as they work on games. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:912478538] in Kotaku: &q...
