“Bethesda needs to update their Creation Engine“

Update? They need a brand new engine built from the ground up.

obviously you never saw any of the videos ..clearly showing a massive update to the engine with mo cap

Needs a new engine and completely overhauled combat system

I think it's at the point that they create a new engine or move on to a well established current engine.

Yes they do but they won’t

Yeah with a barrel of acid

I think this is something most of us have been wanting for a very long time. My first Bethesda game was Skyrim and I was totally in love with the world and experience. But Bethesda is no longer the heavyweight they used to be. The should put some effort in competing with what other companies are doing visually. They have the resources which is why I am always so confused with why they choose not to.

The are at an all time low in terms of brand recognition and loyalty. They need to do something drastic and soon. I love the elder scrolls series and I don't think my heart can take another Bethesda flop. Another title that forces me to make excuses for them due to the nostalgia I have for the games they used to make will really be a let down. And if they do not perform to what we expect as a baseline in terms of visuals, and performance, will really make me question them as a company.

I also never understood why they never went to studios under the bethesda company umbrella to borrow engines, mechanics, and other thing those games do so well.

Why did they never consult Machinegames or iD when trying to improve the gunplay of the fallout games? Or the Dishonored team when looking for inspiration concerning first person melee combat. They can learn alot to improve their games.

In all honestly their environmental story telling leaves me with a feeling that no games have matched for me since playing skyrim, Exploring on my own felt incredibly immersive but they cannot rely on this one aspect to cover their myriad of deficiencies.

Please Bethesda do not let TESVI or Starfield be more of the same. Recommit yourself to a level of quality that so many other companies seem to achieve with ease.

Master of understatement.

They need to throw it away and create a brand new engine or use the Engine Arkane created

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
