The new Wolfensteins were published by Bethesda and they were on idTech 4 IIRC.
But then again, the new Wolfenteins were good.

I came here to laugh at you.
I think Beth's hands were tied in regards to using all the BoS/Enclave/super-mutant stuff in F3. They bought that franchise and then had to turn around and make the third game. I'm super glad they didn't remake it, but at the same time you can see just how much they had to cheat to make the new setting appeal to fans of the old setting.

As for the engine, I am forever disappointed the Fox Engine isn't being licensed out.

The leaked voice cast documents that also revealed it was in boston/the commonwealth and you would be playing as somebody who was around before the bombs dropped and witnessed them were doing a casting call for a male and female voiced protaganist also, if you want something more concrete.

I really wouldn't be surprised if they try to rip off Bioware's voiced protagonist thing for Fallout.

Also the first mods after the nude and sex ones will be about removing said voices.

did you guys not see the trailer start with the dog and end with the dog? Dog got way more screentime than Guy. The dog was rummaging for supplies and stuff

The dog is us. We gonna play as a dog

You play as a Pre-War soldier whose brain was accidentally implanted into a dog. With your quick wits and the help of your trusted interpreter from Vault 111, you will have to explore the Wasteland, track down your descendents, and figure out how to shoot a laser cannon with your paws.

This looks like dog poo poo. In a world with no power infrastructure and very little electricity, there are still no DARK areas. Just generically overlit, even-contrast zones.
Every single thing about this makes it look like some Fullsail kid's sophomore year project.

I think they look good, but I care way more about the color palette and composition of the environment than I do aa and texture quality.

Very end of the trailer, guy in vault suit who is almost certainly supposed to be the PC appears to say "Let's go, pal". Unless that's actually the dog talking and we're all falling for a huge fake-out.

You recruit a genetically engineered dog that is hyper intelligent but still does stupid dog poo poo like chase his own tail.

I am not taking a MORAL STANCE at all. This just does not look like it's worth paying for. FO3 and NV were able to compensate for a lot of their massive shortcomings with nostalgia, but they've pretty much mined that out.

This turd is brown. But this turd over here is brown. Can't polish either of them.


Can your engine have a character walk up stairs without them just sort of pedaling int he air and sliding up a slope that kinda looks like stairs? No? Then gently caress off with that terrible poo poo.

They hid faces during the early Fallout 3 trailers because they still looked like Oblivion people before they turned them into potato people

I'm guessing they have a case of the same thing with regards to Skyrim and this game
