A different engine? Are you sure? They just buffed up their creation engine 2 for Starfield.

[–] ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Both and Neither.

It's the same as the GTA remasters, it's still Gamebryo running the game, but UE5 will be handling the rendering.

Yeah an ex Virtuos developer said they had been working on a remake in UE5 for Bethesda. Can’t find the reference but it was a big rumour a while ago.

not a huge fan of UE5* but it has to be better than the spaghetti that is CE2 at this point.

*-The engine itself isn't the problem developers just don't optimize shit because they aren't given the time/derective to.

The same can be said for CE2.

While the Creation Engine can be limited, the issue with Bethesda games is not the engine, but their development and direction

You're not wrong honestly. Some how they spend so long making games and they still seem like they need another 2 years in the oven.

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Have you seen what the recent UE5 games play like? Not even frame generation can make them run smoothly.

I honestly prefer creation.

I think Avowed is the smoothest (strictly comparative) game on UE5 I've played in a long time. I get 120fps locked on epic and no shader compilation stutters (1440p, 7900XTX and 7800X3D, FSR quality) outside of cities. As soon as I enter a city and move my camera/character, it dips to 50fps with my GPU barely being used and CPU spiking, which really doesn't make much sense to me considering the aren't a lot of NPCs in town and they don't move/have routines

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

My experience so far has been very different. I have a 6950 and can barely hit 60 fps on high settings with upscaled 4k.

[–] Virkkunen@fedia.io 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The issue there is 4K, even with upscalers it's a massive rendering job for GPUs. Realistically, only the 4090 and 5090 could run in high settings at 4K (with or without upscaling). I had a 4K monitor with my 7900 XTX and decided to dial back to 1440p (and got a n OLED screen too) so I could run my games at max on 120 or 144 FPS, because at 4K I would get anything between 50 and 100 fps with a mix of high and medium settings

[–] Renacles@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I mean, I get that, but I run all my other games at 4k with no issues.
