#Obsidian on the gamebryo engine series#

There have been dramatic graphical improvements between TES Morrowind and Oblivion. Bethesda has done more with the Gamebryo engine than you can imagine. Texture detail, animation routines and enemy numbers have all been improved to a noticeable degree, even if they do come at the expense of subtle screen pop-up and the regrettably commonplace glitches and crashes that plague games of such scale. Obsidian made a sequel 2 years later that has seen few to no visual improvements and few to no technical improvements. I personally think Unreal would be the best because it's simple better in terms of looks (if you work hard). Since Obsidian is working on Alpha Protocol that is running on the Unreal Engine it's uncertain what kind of engine New Vegas will run on. The next Fallout game seriously needs an. Well, since Fallout: New Vegas is developed by Obsidian, the use of Gamebryo is not for certain. Plant life and generous sprinklings of foliage decorate the harsh desert, and when your first surprisingly well-animated mutant Gecko comes bounding across the horizon in all his Technicolor glory, you can’t fail to appreciate the newfound vibrancy of New Vegas’ world. That said, it would be wrong to discount the fact that Bethesda’s Gamebryo engine is an outdated, obsolete, crippled husk of misery and discontent.

In the series’ Great War, Las Vegas narrowly avoided direct atomic strikes, leaving the Mojave home to a far wider-ranging series of flora and fauna than DC. The “westward journey” video game bandwagon (or should that be stage coach) has gathered plenty of speed recently with everything from Enslaved to Dead Rising 2 trying to convince us that West is best, but the huge natural expanse that makes up the Mojave wasteland does wonders for Fallout 3’s brutally depressing concrete aesthetic. Virtually every genre the video game industry offers is represented, including: Sports. This is the name most closely associated. Gamebryo has been used to develop over 300 hit video game titles on all the major consoles and the PC, with more than 75 currently in development. It was rebranded as Gamebryo around 2003. It was originally created by Gamebase and was called NetImmerse. Anyway, played it for about 90 minutes at midnight then for another 45 minutes this morning. The game engine in question has a long lineage.

No way to prove this but what ishmael said on the petroglyph forums ages ago about about what they had planned for the next c&c game story sounded very cool, much better than the generic crap storyline thats been told in c&c3 & 4.Possibly the most useless tool in your inventory, they needn't have paid a designer to realise it. Nice engine, certainly better than the dated Gamebryo or whatever its called engine that Bethesda use for their (progressive poorer) RPGs. There would have been no generals or any other lousy game that came after it.

See a pattern Im sure theres other companies besides EA that do stuff like this but i cant think of any off the top of my head, its just nice to see devs and publishers working together like bethesda and obsidian as they share experience with the same petroglyph has been rather dissapointing but i think if westwood had continued c&c it wouldve been awesome. Naturally this only went on to show that otherwise legendary developers Obsidian had struggled considerably with Bethesdas godawful Gamebryo engine, and New Vegas barely held itself together from. Click to expand.I think its a great idea that they did it but im used to seeing companies doing stupid things like EA making simcity societies, casual gamers dont give a rats ass about city builders, or EA sitting on tons of potentially profitable IP that has gotten more and more worthless over time as people move on and forget about it or EA screwing up C&C so its a total joke now heh.
