Starfield - futuristic space exploration sci-fi RPG from Bethesda

I wouldn't draw comparisons with how the Cyberpunk development unfolded. That was a fairly unique case. I don't think it's fair to now start labeling every delay as a being a move to prevent such and such game from being "another Cyberpunk" situation. Delays are nothing new and the reasons for them can vary greatly.

I do agree that they shouldn't have dated it before they were certain, but we all know developers/publishers do it anyway. The practice isn't going to change. All we can hope is they put the extra time to good use so the eventual release is even better. There was talk a while back that Starfield was already content complete, so they're just in the stages of tweaking, optimizing and bug fixing.

Unfortunately I've read several articles indicating the starfield devs fear it becoming the new cyberpunk 2077. Granted it mostly involved the original release date in november prior to the delay.
 
A few seconds of new dialogue footage in this video around 3:55 or so.

More dialogue is good for me, looks like they've expanded the fallout 4 system (which was fine for me). Not many questions in that vid though.

you understand this game was made by bethesda right? You will need to wait six months for them to patch out the 200 game breaking save destroying bugs before you can play.
 
Excellent showcase, really impressed me. This is almost my dream game I guess, combining the stuff in bethesda games with space exploration.

Interesting they say the planets are procedurally generated when you first arrive there, and the areas of interest are placed to suit. I'm guessing the story ones are more rigidly placed. So could mean better replay value than previous bethesda games if the points of interest are good

Spaceship stuff looks good. Outpost stuff they didn't show heaps about it. I was kinda expecting that the outpost thing would let you grow like colonies and then cities, maybe they will come in the expansion

Hint at the end of superpowers too, I'm guessing you get those from the artifacts.. very impressed anyway :up:
 
Looked rather impressive. But I'm not sure how well action and RPG elements mix in combat. The combat actually looks like decent FPS. But when you add RPG elements, the concern is enemies just become damage sponges so that the RPG numbers actually mean something.

And, despite the update in graphics, the faces still remind me of old Oblivion faces.
 
Ok new stuff made it look impressive. Gunplay seems to have improved as well. I just hope planets are not procedurally generated bullcrap and actually have some art design.
I also wish that you can curb stomp idiots in melee. I would be OK for Doom level gameplay when it comes to shooting.

Glad I got GP till 2025 or some such.
 
So whats the bets on which parts are lies this time? Im guessing the new animations for one. They still look the same as the old morrowind and oblivion animations and the character look so similar too.

At least they didnt claim it as a new engine this time. Also tod said the word!! Detail!

On an actual criticism note: God fucking damn it, fallout colour grading/piss filters again... So many colour filters in so many of the presentation. I really hope its easy enough to mod out of the game pretty early.

I loved what I saw in that deep dive video, it looked way less bethesda-janky than I expected.

I'm a bit worried how it will run though, it is capped to 30 on xbox, so I hope 60+ is doable on pc.

what kind of jank were you expecting them to show as a presentation? The deep dive was the same as all their games since oblivion. Just how low were your expectations :D
