What on earth was new about Starfield compared to other Bethesda IP's par the spaceships and name?

The many, many loading screens? The worst parts of Mass Effect 1 (Bioware, I know, but the many soulless planets you could "explore" were hardly a high point) brought forward to present day?

It was shoddy formulaic Bethesda tripe from top to bottom.

While it was certainly Bethesda in feel, you didn't actually address my point : this was new IP. The video is talking (correctly) about the AAA studios playing incredibly safe. Yet here is Bethesda risking a lot of money on new IP. M$ would have been breathing down their necks to bring ES VI forward, but Bethesda did not. I don't care that don't like the game, because there's a whole thread for people who think they are clever by slagging it off. My point was: it is NOT an example of the issues brought up by the video. A rushed out ES VI would be.

I was addressing your point/claim that Starfield added new gameplay elements, I was legitimately wondering what exactly the game did that was new from a gameplay perspective?

From my experience with it there wasn't any.
