People figured out the performance issues with Starfield when it was first announced: the Bethesda logo
Creation Engine 2.0.
AKA Creation Engine 1.0 with more patches than a 1sqmi quilt.
Evolution isn't wrong. It's not like Unreal Engine gets rewritten from scratch for each major version.
Except unreal engine literally was rewritten from 3 to 4.
Which is, literally, not every major version. I didn't say "all Unreal Engine versions are evolutionary steps over their predecessors", I said "they don't get rewritten from scratch for each major version".
Someone else also brought up the Quake engine, which has even more evolutionary steps; even with forks like the Source engine.
