Starfield: 10 Things YOU NEED TO KNOW

[@paradsecar]

Ship building is the one thing I always felt No Man's Sky was missing and would benefit from greatly. Of course, they could always patch it in later, but being in Starfield from day one is intriguing to say the least.

[@deweyrice4440]

@@keinname1896 from what I understand, the reason fallout 76 tanked was because Tom Howard and the majority of Bethesda had almost nothing to do with it. Tom wanted the main focus to be finishing starfield so they placed the development of 76 entirely in the hands of a smaller team (I believe Bethesda Austin) which I assume was just to get a game released as filler between fallout 4 and now. Not saying it excuses anything. It was definitely a mistake thats tarnished their reputation for a lot of people. But if that explanation is true, then It makes it easier to believe that they might be able to fullfil these promises and make the next groundbreaking game, as they've done in the past when working as a whole on a project

Honestly, it would be really cool if they allow the players to really jump into allying themselves with one faction or another. Like allowing the player to choose whether they just want to climb the ranks of a faction as an enforcer that simply fights for the faction, a commander that helps in large scale conflict, or even a politician that assist in determining the faction's policy with other factions. Or even a combination of them. Like imagine joining the United Colonies and climbing up the ranks as an officer in their military, thus gaining the ability to guide their conflict with another faction as you launch attack on other faction bases. I think that would be awesome and would add practical functionality to pursuing siding with a specific faction, especially depending on *how* you want to pursue that relationship with them.

About the Creation Engine, these things will share some key elements, but a new version can be just... almost ninety degrees different from an old version.

Old-school Unreal Engine and Unreal Gold, vs. Unreal Engine 5 and whatever crazy-ass tech demo just released, there's a new one like every five minutes. All this to say I'm hopeful the old complaints will be largely addressed, and new ones will take their place.

They can't. The game has to be specifically designed around it and it's really nothing but smoke and mirrors to give the impression of that. There's a good reason why there's always a slight stutter when exiting a planet's atmosphere in NMS - there is a transition, it's not seamless. And you can't fly from one solar system to another, you have to jump. Hell, you can't even fly to the star of a solar system. Same thing for Elite Dangerous - while the star system is seamless, you can't fly from one solar system to another, you have to jump.

When people make space scifi, they tend to go somewhat realistic, even if there are wacky things in it... hence no magic and no powers of any kind... though maybe minor telepathy from some races. Yes, I'm aware that Mass Effect, Starwars, and Destiny exist, but I want something more class/rpg oriented... maybe more interactable. Anyway... just me being hopeful/grumbly.

[@Warribo]

Strange that they only showed off "old school" projectile type weapons rather than energy weapons. Fallout 4 had loads of energy and plasma based weapon which suit this game a lot more rather than a double barreled shot gun lol

You missed the laser rifle at the end of the gunplay section? Actually, the 3rd pirate had a laser rifle too.

[@rifathrealm990]

I want to drive around big futuristic cities like in watch dogs legion and also explore space at the same time!

[@CanIHasThisName]

Not viable to make. The amount of time it takes to create such cities is tremendous, the game would never leave development unless those cities were either completely devoid of any meaningful content or completely procedurally generated.

[@justinmalone9762]

I was actually incredibly excited when no man's sky was coming out, only to be disappointed. So it's cool to see another space exploration game coming out that May actually be fun and worth playing. I'm also a huge fan of Fallout 3 and Skyrim, so it's really cool to see Bethesda making another RPG in their style. I personally can't wait for this game!

Unfortunately for me as an individual, all I need to know is that it’s made by Bethesda and to steer clear of it until 2 years post-release

Im no expert but, instead of 1000 planets, just 1 would be enough if it was huge. My guess is as seen on 2:56 - there will be 1000 planets but only 5-10% of it will be exploreable the rest is just for show.

[@christianporter3638]

I’m reminded that they’ve been developing this game for OVER 6yrs and Bethesda has a gang of folks working on this - yes, it’ll have its initial bugs, but I’m cautiously optimistic this’ll live up to the hype

[@bruhder5854]

Almost 4 years of full development and 2-3 years of pre-production actually. Bethesda can only accommodate their full work on one project at a time and this is why elder scrolls 6 is so far away. Starfield went into full development after fallout 76 and elder scoll 6 will go into full development after starfield has been shipped.

[@GRY2048]

@@bruhder5854 I remember hearing that starfield was started around the same time as fallout 4's release?

[@bruhder5854]

@@GRY2048 that was just the brainstorming phase where they went like "what if we made a game in space with x, y and z". Pre-production is when they get a group of veterans and concept artists to picture things together. What's feasible, what's not, how the mechanics are going to reflect on those ideas, how to implement them, etc. Full protection is when they begin implementing those ideas and make it a cohesive game. An example here would be cyberpunk 2077. That game was in its conceptual stage way around 2010. Pre-production around the time Witcher 3 released and after the expansion, full production in late 2016 iirc. Although they later scrapped most of the original ideas when they managed to get Keanu in and wanted to capitalize off from him. Hence why the game was so bad on release. Conceptual and Pre-production phase were wasted in their case.

One thing I want to know is what sort of defences can you have for your base? There are characters you can meet to operate it so are there ones who can defend it or will there be things like turrets? Or is the only way you can keep it safe is to keep it hidden?

Exactly! Quality over quantity. They can always DLC other things later, but quality out of the gate is key.

Some of the environments, especially the more densely packed city environments... give off some Mass Effect vibes, mostly ME2 vibes with places like the Citadel Wards and Omega. I am so there for that. It could just be me pulling at straws

On the weapon the character is using when your showing the huds on each bottom corner, that gun shows it’s ammo count on the top of the gun flat on the gun. You can see it when your showing the bottom right if you look up at the top rail of the gun as he’s firing.

its not the second half of 2023, the gameplay showcase was part of an Xbox event where ALL games shown will release within the next year from the time of the event, meaning that unless a delay takes place Starfield is currently on schedule to release before June 12th 2023. now taking peak release golden zones into account one can safely predict that the target release month is April or May so fans will buy the game and play it during the summer break

I hope there will be alternative options or easy blueprints for base and ship building, those parts do not interest me and I just want to get on with the RPG side. I literally stopped playing Fallout 4 due to base building when I absolutely loved Fallout 3 and played it through multiple times.

[@chainsaw8507]

Really? In Fallout 4 you have to do almost no base building unless you follow the Minutemen questline. From what I remember there's only one mission you have to do, but it takes like 30 seconds to get done.

[@TheSoleDweller]

I literally kept on playing Fallout 4 only because of the base building so I guess 2 players are never the same. But when different players get hyped for the same game, it's gotta mean something... good about this game, tho.

[@RelativelyBest]

I usually just live in the Red Rocket station with minimum modifications, since I find it cozy and I like the idea of squatting in an abandoned building rather than constructing a shack out of junk. That said, I did find the base building surprisingly fun and useful. Once I figured out that stuff stay floating in the air when you remove the supports, I built and entire airship high above Abernathy Farm, with heavy laser turrets firing down on attackers. I also learned that I apparently like working with wires and figuring out how to get electrical stuff to work. I dunno, it's just satisfying.
