Nope, they have been around a long time.

I can't wrap my head around what you're trying to say with this reply. Did I say they haven't been around a long time? Can you find a game in that list with "Bethesda Game Studio" listed as the developer that isn't an Elder Scrolls or Fallout game?

Well, according to wiki, they did develop «IHRA Professional Drag Racing 2005» in 2004. But I'm nitpicking, here ;-)

Haha. Well, Wiki's two lists disagree with each other on that anyway. The bigger list Rune linked has Bethesda Softworks listed as the developer of that game.

Weird the link I put up didn't show the list of games ….hmmm here this is one…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o…ks_video_games

Bethesda softworks and game studios are the same thing.

they had games like bowling, terminator, skynet, wayne gretzky hockey…

They're not the same thing. Since 2001, Bethesda Softworks is the name of the publisher. Bethesda Game Studios is the name of the developer under that publishing arm. Bethesda Game Studios has only done one type of game for 20 years.

It's supposedly some new tool or tech with the creation engine 2.

That's a little bit different than what I'm thinking about - I was imagining something like No Man's Sky, where everything is procedurally generated at run time, but then having handmade blocks of content that could be procedurally placed. So, in a space game like this it would be particularly easy - you could warp to a new system, which would be procedurally generated, but then also spawn another planet with hand-placed content, or maybe a mining asteroid, or ghost ship, etc.

I think what they're talking about is procedural generation at design time, to create large areas more easily.
