      Calling Creation 2 a “new engine” is a little too generous.

      It’s an upgrade of their previous engine, which was an upgrade to gamebryo.

      Taking a Model T, and dropping the engine into a Porsche doesn’t mean you have a Porsche.

        valves new games are still running off code from gold source

        ‘engine old’ means extremely little and i wish people would stop parroting it

      Bethesda really needs to tweak their subsurface scattering for the skin and eyeballs (maybe have a separate render method of eye scatter)

      New engine? Do you mean the “Creation Engine 2”, which is still gamebryo at its core? I’m not complaining though because the engine is very mod friendly, it’s just realism is not its strong suit.

        RDR2 was built on RAGE, an engine originally used for a table tennis game. Things get upgraded and evolve.
