Current codemasters are a pale shade of their former rockstar dev selves. It's sad to see the end of an era, but honestly, it might be time to let EA let it go.

Nice! Very happy about their progress! I tried out the new fedora spin they have and while it seemed nice, it definitely has that "alpha beta" level of polish and features to it. Once it fully releases out of beta in a few years time I'll definitely try it out as a daily driver.

Having recently spent 120 hrs playing a ue5 game and absolutely loving every minute of it, and also at the same time having zero issues whatsoever, I can say that it 100% depends on the developer's skillset with the engine.

Obsidian must be the #1 unreal engine developer on earth right now.

... anyway ... I'm just saying that it being unreal engine itself isn't always a bad thing. Worthless pointless remakes/remasters/rewhateverthefucks is DEFINITELY a bad thing.

The game is great, remaking it a worthless waste of time. What a shame.

Revolt seems cool yes, but I still prefer Matrix.

Chains of Freedom looks pretty neat, and it has a demo!!

oh, and like with so many other big game launches these days, oblivion might SAY it's verified but it's a dirty lie. I don't know why they keep doing this but .... it's pretty ugly on the Deck. Far better off to play the original w/ mods on Deck.

^ for me, it's the sense of wonder, discovery, exploration, and randomly running around discovering who-knows-what. "hey what's that over there?"

Nobody does it better. There is a mountain worth of valid complaints that can be levied towards Bethesda, but they're the masters of the open world feel.

@grigi - there was an Everspace 1 that was a kickstarter from about a decade ago, maybe that's what you're thinking of? It was a VERY different game though. A roguelike at its core, whereas Everspace2 definitely is not (thank goodness).

Everspace 2 is not a remake nope, it's a totally original game from Rockfish, and it kicks ass! They even ported it from the original ue4 to ue5 and continue to support it with patches and dlc. Stunningly gorgeous space visuals.

@Kimyrielle their own creation engine may be old, but they keep updating it and they're using it for the elder scrolls 6 which launches next year or year after. So it's still actively developed.

I'd say they used UE5 for this because the core bethesda team didn't do it. They subcontracted it out and the subcontractors were probably most familiar with UE 4/5. Also, even though they SAY modding isn't supported, since it's a ue game, there will be mods, they just might have to hack them in.
