2011- 2021....Doesn't look like odyssey made a big leap in its engine....fallout 4 already looks better than odyssey so i'm sure Starfield it will look more greatAs is my way, I'll pass my own judgement being of an age to do so with some measure of experience behind me. You of course are entitled to think otherwise on this.
In the meantime, lets hope a revamp is indeed going to change this engine.
Apparently a November 2022 release date also.

That's more to do with the fact Bethesda artists either produce by design textures etc aimed to run in potato PCs, or they're just not very good (or a combination of both) rather than the engine's fault.
Nice post, and yep, very accurate. Think he forgets that Bethesda tries to make their games available for many people, not just the uber-PC "elite"That's more to do with the fact Bethesda artists either produce by design textures etc aimed to run in potato PCs, or they're just not very good (or a combination of both) rather than the engine's fault.
Take a peek at some Skyrim modded characters:

My Skyrim install looks as good as any current top notch game, but it probably doesn't have a single vanilla texture in it and very few original meshes. It has also modded lighting, weather systems, water, grass, forests, etc etc which combined makes a gigantic difference in graphics, but the point is that in the end it's all running under the very same Creation engine as plain old vanilla skyrim.
Of course, my current skyrim build would most likely run at 2 frames per second back in 2011 when the game was released, and that if it would even run at all instead of CTDing immediately.
If you wish, take look at a couple of skyrim ultra-modded videos (youtube is full of them) to see what the engine is capable of doing.
TL;DR; It's really not the engine's fault why the vanilla graphics are poor, the engine can actually run with very impressive visuals as well.
Sorry for the lenghty OT.

What I read is that Starfield is PC and XBox exclusive, unfortunately. No PSx port.
And now with Microsoft basically have made XBox and PC gaming interchangeable, it's a double incentive to do either or both. Sony probably has to come up with some new solutions at some point.
I hope Bethesda doesn't do alpha or beta. Seems like any pre-release/early-access raises more angst, anger, false hopes, and bad reviews in the end. I think it only works for small projects and small studios, not AAA. But that's just my opinion though.
