It's going to be Gamebryo+ for sure, just like Skyrim.

Creation Engine.
Calling it anything else is just ignorance. Just like calling Cryengine 3 Cryengine 2 would be ignorance.
Yep, this is the biggest problem with their games by far.
They don't even need to do much to improve on it. Have a faction system. Have companions that actually have their own personalities and react positively/negatively to what you do. Those are really simple ways to make it feel like the people and world around you are actually acknowledging and reacting to what you do.
While they did some major changes in some areas (like creating the new scripting engine Papyrus), the core of the engine is still Gamebryo.
That's the skyrim engine right? That was a modified gamebryo engine that they slapped a new name on.

I would love a more lovecraftian fallout.
The difference being that CryEngine 2 and 3 are actually two different engines while the Creation Engine is essentially a v1.1 upgrade. It's like Valve calling the Episode One version of their engine Source 2 because they added one feature to it.

So ready for this. Hopefully the next-gen systems will allow for true open worlds without having to artificially break them into smaller areas through metro tunnels/town gates.
Boston during a heavy winter would be something. They could have a hardcore mode where freezing is an actual danger.
Most of it sounds okay. But who knows what'll happen with the character mechanics. I'm all for the lovecraftian vibes. But they need to recapture that campy Fallout charm and not go full blown serious-dark.

Um...
Are you really going to tell me that Cryengine 2.0-3.0 not 3.whatever we currently have with Crysis 3, but the original Cryengine 3 release, was a monumental leap compared to Gamebryo to Creation Engine? I mean, really?
Engines often keep the core intact, and "heavy modification" is not as trivial as it sounds.
Hell Bioshock is a Unreal Engine 2 game, if you want to over simplify everything.

I really hope they don't

God's had his chance.
Not sure if this is even something anyone here with some more dev experience in gaming might be able to answer this early (just learning solid specs on both next gen systems and all that) BUT...
Can anyone tell me how likely it is that we will see the types of "final battles" that we talk about here all the time? Where instead of going around and amassing an "army" of 10 guys to take on the big bad world eater at the end of an epic game you actually have a small army of 50 to 100+ guys on each side going at it? Will it simply take a newer engine designed around the capabilities of next gen consoles or are those type of concessions made in current day games based purely around memory/processing power being too low? Or are the dev tools themselves based around these limitations - meaning the limitation can only fade once they get a solid handle on the next gen architecture?

Sounds good to me! I love me some Boston. I hope Bethesda do make a good RPG this time. No excuse to do otherwise.
Also, so the rumor turned to be false?

i would go in every dorm room.
There are just so many great buildings and so much faction-potential at the Universities: Widener Library, the Science Center, the Great Dome, the Infinite Corridor, etc., etc. Would be a blast. Speaking of Lovecraftian-horror set in Boston - does any remember The Lurking Horror, or am I dating myself? Loved that game.
Eh, poop. Oh well, I hope it is set in Boston though.

Ok, so seeing as how this going to be a next gen game, they have NO excuse for terrible animation, right?
Yeah they really need to motion track the voice actors or at least make the characters seem less dead.

Looks like damage control to me. Why would he admit to lying?
