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.

And give Chris Roberts something to sweat about. Maybe Star Citizen will move past Pre-Alpha after this? ;-)

[@Magekind]

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. Look at the various versions of the Aurora toolset; old-school Neverwinter Nights. Then the second Aurora set and you end up with the original Witcher. 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.

I’m hoping modders can add seemless space to planet flight transition. The joy of just flying from solar system to solar system to then fly down manually to a planet is too immersive to not notice. One of the best things about NMS.

[@CanIHasThisName]

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.

I really want a space rpg with psionics, especially a bethesda take on how psionic powers would be used gamewise.

No number iteration engine is from the ground up, is more than likely that Unreal 5 still has a line of code or two of the first Unreal engine in it, hence the numbered part.

I just want this game to come out, man. I know patience and “release it when it’s finished” I just feel like I’ve been waiting foreverrrr 😩

[@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.

[@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

[@gns942]

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

[@Warribo]

@@gns942 Ah, so there are a few in the game then, I would have thought they'd put them to the forefront. Cheers

[@crobertplopper1444]

@@Warribo I bet its cause lore-wise laser tech is still fairly new

I so hope gameranx can do an entire show on what's happening with ff14 behind the billboard dj house party that won't be a thing. It's getting crazy. 🤗

[@ciaralizabeth]

I'm cautiously excited about this release. Also, I would have preferred 6-10 really fleshed out planets and/or space stations instead of 1000 resources planets. That's just my hot take. I could be wrong in the end.

[@expressrobkill]

It wasn’t one or the other. Creating hand crafted areas takes allot longer than the procedural stuff. Apparently their is more than previous games.

[@TheSoleDweller]

You can expect modders to turn a bunch of those procedurally-generated planets into fleshed out ones.

[@vibinjackals6711]

This really seems to be like no man’s sky but more combat focused I’m pretty excited

[@jojobizarre1067]

This might be like Blag Flag, the ship building and battle (assumed the battle performance will also depend on what you build) might be the real attraction.

[@omundododias9965]

I just need to play it. Thank you for the vid.

[@lytheus69]

I'm always skeptical of games that claim to be so huge in scale. the saying "as vast as an ocean, but as deep as a puddle" almost always rings true

[@lennaymaboyyy4848]

true, games that promise huge galaxies and worlds always feel empty

[@expressrobkill]

They already said their is more handcrafted content than other games, so thats the stuff you will play the extra planets are just for menial tasks, its not the main focus.

[@connor5160]

Yeah 1000 planets but 4 major cities. That's a massive red flag. Fallout was a good game but kind of underwhelming in a missions and replay aspect. Fallout 76 and everything around it just shows the greed of this company. I honestly think this game will suck. Sorry guys lol

[@needfood3052]

I hope it's good. I need a new world to get lost in.

[@kezleven8755]

so if you can rob ships and ship are just a group of part do think you will be able to just take parts to upgrade your ship ?

[@eltho7868]

Seeing that atlantis city I had Cyberbug Flashbacks II really hope its well polished when it comes out, especially Npc's

[@chippewaguy4193]

The fact you can’t seamlessly fly into a planet from space and vice versa ( because creation engine is poopy) does rub me wrong but I still have my hopes up the modding community can take this game to the next level.

[@JunkBondTrader]

yeah that's a huge disappointment. Seems like something that would be very difficult to mod... That'd be like an entire game function, and mods tend to just tinker with the mechanics that are already in place. Hopefully it wont detract from the overall experience.

[@andrewmartel916]

I imagine there will be things that try to do that in the modding scene. Look at open cities for Skyrim for example. But Idk what that would even look like considering they didn’t even start that process from the sound of it.

[@379AAA]

Would be cool if you could build a base on an orbiting astroid 🤔

I want a crew of all robots. Forget people/aliens.

[@Darh1407]

You may be able to,after all you can actually choose the crew

[@burntbacn]

13:55 I feel like that was a given honestly. Bethesda wouldn't dare make a single player game without mod support these days, it's the main thing keeping them going.

[@chainsaw8507]

Yeah, they really do put a lot of work to get their games to be able to be as modded as they can. I'd be shocked if they stopped doing it as they're the only company that I know of that does it to this extent.

[@GRY2048]

@@chainsaw8507 My biggest concern is if they use the same performance optimisation system as fallout 4 and fallout 76. That system really stifled worldspace and location modding for fallout 4 compared to Skyrim.

[@chainsaw8507]

@@GRY2048 True. I really hope this game is somehow more modder friendly than even Skyrim, but I doubt it. A man can dream though, right?

[@ottone2863]

As far as ship body design what always thought would be neat is an area that expands when there's cargo in it and uses matter manufacturing or element x style reinforcements for reentry of the planets like after it expands it gets a little shell and that shell doubling as a type of system is redundantly used as an anti boarding measure both in blockade and in diode detonation style proximity armament plus after you drop your load when you take off you'd only take place to discharge all of the element x or whatever would be in orbit because it'd be a massive explosion when you drop those secure pylons and outer shell

[@ottone2863]

Guys you do know you would upgrade the system from the diode detonator to where you could use it as a backup power circulators I would call it some kind of bypass bonus

[@ottone2863]

I could even see blockade Gates that have small electrical systems attached to them that would be like land mines cost you a smaller amount of resources to discard them better be handled in repair cycle just be like how many gates can you put up in your cargo bay where those are devices and they deplete it'd be the real reality of using this style of technology for structures because if you want to get rid of it it explodes that's the only way to get rid

This might be my next go to for a long term game since GTA+ is really putting me off to what may come in GTA 6. Guess its time to spend more than most people do on a car building another PC.

A fish with "drug-like" effects? That's a broad category. Will they treat my character's ADHD? Is there a Tylenol fish? Are doctors on this planet just fish scientists? Are pharmacists actually fisherman? I need more on these drug fish, Bethesda!

Well he didn't say pharmaceutical drug-like effects LOL it'll be more like mind altering drug-like effects I guess. But I too need to know more about the fish used to make drugs.
