What is everyone's speculation or prediction about the Fallout 4 engine? Will it be the same they are using for Skyrim (the new Elder Scrolls game, comes out 11-11-11)? Or will they make a whole new engine for the Fallout series? Or will the next game be on the same engine they used for the last 2 Fallout games?

I'm pretty sure FONV is the last game we'll see on that engine, I think it's quite likely that we'll see the upcoming Skyrim engine used for multiple games with FO4 being the most likely.

That's what I think too.

I am relatively young and have no understanding over different engined, but can someone sum up in a nutshell what exactly different engines do? Like what's the difference between the current one and this 'Skyrim' engine you mention, better graphics?

Hopefully better graphics and more stable game play, Lonewanderer.

I would hope that it would be the new engine they're using for Skyrim, but only time will tell if that's really the improvement we're all hoping it will be.

It's possible that the Skyrim engine will be outdated quickly, it just seems time for a new console generation in the next 2 years. I wouldn't be surprised if FO4 is one of the last games that comes out for the current generation of consoles.

Hmm, considering the cost of developing a new console, and the investment MS and Sony have put into Kinect and Move (partly to extend the life of their current consoles), I wouldn't expect to see any new consoles for a few years (expect maybe from Nintendo).

well, know we know skrim is not on gamebyro we can relax (hopefully) cause as much as i love Fo3 and NV i am sick of buggs playing it... and now we know skyrim is this year..we only have to wait 2-3 years for fo4...soooo it will be on the new engine...cause most of the forums and places like the vault..suggest it will
