The problem of Skyrim is that Bethesda did not pander to people holding this particular opinion, while they should have. That's why the game was a bland, repetitive, boring fuckfest of pointless travel skipping (or aimless travelling in case of people who botcott fast travel) and doing the same shit over and over again.

If you list world building and atmosphere among the good things in Skyrim (I admit it had good things, although little), you obviously haven't played an actually atmospheric open world game (Call of Pripyat, Gothic 1 and 2 and NotR, Morrowind [hey, a Bethesda game!

Then Skyrim should not be praised, mods should. What everyone is playing is not Skyrim. It's mods. There is nothing worth noting in vanilla Skyrim that contributes to positive experience from playing modded Skyrim. Bethesda literally added fucking nothing. If anything, vanilla Skyrim should be considered a "remove fun" mod to a game called "modded Skyrim".

That seems a little unnecessary. First it presumes the player isn't going to roleplay as a bigot and second it makes changes to the personality of NPCs in the game, e.g. Uthgerd wouldn't care that you are triggered by her "racism".

>>the frame-rate is still tied to the physics engine, so anything over 60fps completely breaks the game

The physics engine tick rate is ALWAYS tied to the framerate of every game. You cannot have a physics tick rate lower than the framerate, you can only have one higher than the framerate.

There's basically two ways you can implement your physics engine; you can implement a robust system that can deal with a variable tick rate, but that comes with enormous performance overhead, or you can implement a "consistency only" system that uses a fixed tick rate, it's much better performance but it breaks if you change the tick rate and it involves a frame cap.

There's nothing really wrong with going with the later and for games that involve multiplayer it's pretty much required because in that situation consistency between clients is far more important than you getting to run the game at an arbitrary framerate.

Nope, I remember anon. I member. It was autistic as fuck, but those threads were pure comfy.

Then the game came out and it was fucking horrible. I almost immediately uninstalled after I saw the UI - and then had to wait 6 months for SKSE and SkyUI.

I remember well.

FEAR was released in 2004 and looks better than Skyrim. Crysis was released in 2007 and looks better than Skyrim.
Skyrim looked like shit even on release day.

>>381312435
I remember them. I remember thinking they were massive faggots for doing that. However I also remember I was omega level hype for Skyrim when that first trailer came out. I remember racing to /v/ to see everyone else having pretty much exactly the same reaction. It was a hype few months.

This teaser is still pretty hype. They nailed the energy.

>>381306098
in the beginning, maybe - but now when vidya is closer and closer to being as good as you might hope with available technology, the old games don't get old as fast (like, there are 15 years old movies that do still look gorgeous due to more or less perfected special effects)

>This is complete nonsense.

No, it's true.

There's a difference in the way the physics is implemented. In order to support a variable tick rate your physics calculations have to be more accurate and to achieve that you have to do more operations. It's simply more work for the processor.

With a fixed tick rate you aren't really concerned about absolute accuracy, you are concerned with it being consistent. Get it looking good and consist for a particular tick rate and you are "done". Means a lot less operations for the CPU to perform but it's also why changing the tick rate means things get horribly broken or the game just starts running at double speed or something.

>>381314437

Physics tick rate is always tied to framerate, console game or not.

Just think about it, if you only calculate the physics at 30Hz and yet you are displaying at 60fps what do you think the actual on screen result will be? Anything involving physics stutters because it's not being calculated on every frame. For some things, e.g. ragdolls or other non-gameplay critical stuff, you can get away with calculating at a lower tick rate than the framerate and it will just look funny but for anything that actually matters to gameplay, e.g. collisions, it breaks shit. That's why, for example, in Dark Souls you can fall through the world when you removed the framecap.

Ideally all this shit would be independent from each other but in reality that's just not feasible most of the time.

>>381305453
Reason why Bethesda's games take so long is because they're still a relatively small team compared to how much money their games earn them. I mean, they're essentially remaking the same game over and over again each time with a shinier coat of paint and less content. To think that, for example, it took more time to develop Skyrim coming from Oblivion than it did for Witcher 3 coming from Witcher 2, especially when you compare how many changes latter made compared to former.

>mfw Thieves' Guild is actually hidden

>>381312902
You're talking nonsense. Time-independent physics just involves a variable window of integration of position with respect to velocity. That does not incur any overhead more than an arithmetic operation here or there.

>>381312667
I think it's because making memorable landscapes became a lost art. By the time you've played through Morrowind you pretty much know the lay of the land perfectly because you memorized while following instructions and looking for shit. In Oblivion and Skyrim it all blends together because you're not looking at the world but rather at POIs and compass.

I find it funny that Oblivion and Skyrim had more or less the same polygon counts and texture resolutions across the board. Bethesda simply went for a different art style.

>>381315128

Seriously, do you people think developers keep using fixed tick rates because it's fun?

No, you think they are inept, right? They aren't even developing these physics engines, they are all off the shelf shit that supports whatever you want it to do and they opt for better performance and consistency over MUH 144FPS MASTER RACE! crap.

Skyrim pushes more polygons in flora and characters and has environment shadows. At a glance it looks like Oblivion has more polygons in buildings though.

Skyrim was an improvement but Oblivion ends up looking arguably better in some situations, because of the change in art direction. The lighting especially is better in Oblivion.

>>381315409

Skyrim has a much higher poly count than Oblivion but you are right the texture resolution is more or less the same. Want to know why? Because the 360 and PS3 did not magically gain more memory between the release of Oblivion and the release of Skyrim and there is no optimization that can be done to load more textures into memory. They are already compressed about as well as they can be and so the only option available is just loading fewer textures which is a shit solution.

because these games are made to be played on a big screen sitting far away from it so everything blends together more easily. same reason why some people can't stand the sharpening effect in witcher 3 because it looks "too busy" to them from a distance.

>>381315735
But the sharpening effect is PC only you fucking retard.

God damn you're stupid you don't even know what aliasing is.

>>381309358
Just thought I'd also chime in here and say that with 150+ mods Skyrim is an incrdible role-playing experience; it's too bad Bethesda can't make good games on their own though.

>>381315669
>The lighting especially is better in Oblivion.

I think that's because they had to cut out some lighting shit so their base must have been really good. Remember that whole "this chain is casting a dynamic shadow" presentation before release? Unrelated, but I still think lighting and dynamic shadows were what tanked Dragon's Dogma's performance on consoles.

>>381315838
did I say anything about consoles or pc?

>>381315958
You were talking about a PC only effect as if console users knew about them. You're shitposting and you don't even know it, you're that stupid.

Because like >>381315674 said PS3 and 360 had dog shit for hardware, particularly their available RAM. I'm still eager to see what a proper modern TES will look like now that they've had the time to cut their teeth on Fallout 4 and test shit out.

>>381315897

You can have chains cast shadows, the only problem is you can't have it cast shadows from more than 4 light sources at a time.

Personally, I strongly disagree with the notion that the Skyrim's lighting engine is worse than Oblivion's. Maybe they had better people doing the lighting passes in Oblivion but engine wise Skyrim can do everything Oblivion can do, a lot of it better, and it can do shit Oblivion can't. Their lighting engine is not great but it's not getting worse.

Bethesda's problem is their team apparently hasn't grown at all since Oblivion days. They just can't keep up.

>>381316460

Quake 3 physics is broken, you fucking idiot.

The physics inconsistency in Quake 3 that resulted from having an uncapped variable framerate is specifically why John Carmack elected to use the fixed tick rate and a framecap in Rage. To him, it was the best solution to the problem.

Let me guess, "John Carmack doesn't know anything anymore! He's shit useless these days!", right?

>>381316739
The physics is fine and linear, the problem is conversion between floats and ints causing bit aliasing.

Haven't you heard of my all-new Skyrim Special Edition? You can spend another 600 hours in Skyrim all over again!

>>381316739
P.S. never make a game you fucking cunt. There is NO excuse for capping games at 30 or 60 FPS, and even less for making games that cannot cope with varying framerate.

>>381316739
Carmack is awesome, but he's also the guy who tried to get rid of bunnyhopping from Quake because he thought it was "stupid". Even legends can be wrong sometimes.

>>381305453
I honestly can't wrap my head around why. Skyrim earned them a gazillion dollars. Why the fuck would they not push another TES game?

>>381316817

No, it's not just that. It's busted, higher framerate means jumping further, etc.

Everyone knew this, it's why the quest to get the highest possible framerate in Quake 3 was so important, and John Carmack was never happy about it and in his quest to come up with a reliable physics implementation he elected to use the apparently "lazy" solution because he could find nothing better that didn't come with an unacceptable performance cost.

>>381317067
>higher framerate means jumping further,
Because of the details of passing floats to the VM.

>>381316852
SKSE doesn't work well on it, so I can't play it even though you gave it to me for free.

>>381309716

What the fuck

>>381317067
Also it's not just "higher framerate", it's any frametime that is a power of two milliseconds.

>>381317064
It's been said a million fucking times now, but i guess i'll repeat it: they're focusing on their shitty Elder Scrolls MMO, and have said repeatedly that they're not doing anymore main-line TES, until the MMO has "run its course".

TESO is not made by Bethesda the Game Studio.

But we have, and while it's not even nearly as good as Gothic 2, it's still a pretty enjoyable experience.

>>381317116

That wasn't the only issue, just one of the issues.

There's a reason why the guy who wrote it still isn't using it anymore and it's not because "It works perfectly fine but I want to use a stupid system just to troll pc gamers".

Also get rid of that autistic need to have every single non-hostile NPC be a "unique" named person with their own lines.

>>381318552
I've always thought this is a good idea. If you went to a random city and tried to talk to people, a lot of them wouldn't give you the time of day, just have loads of nameless NPCs who tell you to shove off and suddenly Whiterun isn't a 5foot by 5foot box pretending to be a city.
