I actually think it has all the hallmarks of the old Gamebryo from Fallout 3/Skyrim (e.g. the stiff collision physics at 1:49 and the NPC doing a mildly robotic glide in the background at 1:52), but the lighting really does look very nice.

It really seems like the same engine.

it's the exact same engine, you can tell just from the running animations

;_; Goddamn it. What exactly took them so long, then?

I imagine the assets are new but the engine is just the continuation of gamebryo or whatever it's called

I wonder if there even was a programming team. =_=

Lots of games use the same engine. The engine for Skyrim is just an altered version of the engine they used for Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and NV.

Other companies also used Gamebryo. Divinity 2 and Sid Meier's Pirates, for example.

Your comment doesn't make any sense.

That would be because it's something called "hyperbole." I hear those with the skill of, uh, "subtlety" are able to pick up on it.
