This morning, news headlines and YouTube videos across the internet declared that Bethesda will not change engines for the upcoming games Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI, setting off a wave of outrage that’s become oh-so-common in the world of video games. This story, however, is misleading, based mostly on speculation and widespread lack understanding of what a “game engine” actually is.
One might assume that, after finishing up Fallout 4 and all of its downloadable content, Bethesda Game Studios will move to the next big thing, whether that be The Elder Scrolls VI or something else. After all, they have been a single-game studio since 2002. But it sounds like they have far grander plans.
Fallout 4 is out today, and with it comes a few big questions. One of those questions: Just how buggy will it be?
Fallout 4 is finally official, but the fake rumours won't stop popping up. As Ron Perlman might say: Bullshit. Bullshit never changes.
Few games drive as much breathless fever as Fallout 4, the game that everyone assumes Bethesda Game Studios is currently making. And few games have driven people so crazy.
