The Engine?

Post » Tue Sep 20, 2011 2:41 pm

Was wondering where some concrete information about the engine is. I know all the interviews say built from the ground up..but people say it is just the same engine from OB reworked.

I searched but can't find any good information. This is NOT a complaining thread, I genuinely am curious about the engine. Thanks in advance.

The Creation engine is built from the Oblivion engine (please don't call it "the Gamebryo engine," strictly speaking it's not an engine). They completely rewrote the renderer, AI, pathing, thread handling, the way it loads data, basically everything that makes an engine an engine. They also replaced a number of middleware programs like SpeedTree with their own stuff. It's new in the same sense that Source was a new engine, despite being built from GoldSrc.

The engine should be called "Pure Unadvlterated Joy".
