***The Official Starfield Thread*** (As endorsed by TNA)

Early opinion but that was pretty underwhelming for me, didn't grab me at all. As with a number of trailers/reveals these days I think a lot of that was very carefully worded and presented stuff to overstate features, they still couldn't hide the performance though which never bodes well for us.

I hope it's decent, but I think it's one I'll definitely have to see how it really is on release before getting excited.
 
Looks like a mixture of Fallout, Skyrim, COD etc etc probably quite epic & time consuming designed to fill the gap between the proper Fallout 5! At least its on Gamepass Day 1 on PC!!
 
I am excited for this tbh. The frame pacing looks off, hopefully nothing a PC will not be able to get through.

But overall like the tone. Then again loved all previous Bethesda games (though did not play FO76) so may be just enjoy there work. On one hand the 1000 planet thing I expect will be choc full of barren wastelands, on other hand, largely what I expect space to be anyways. Likely be some nice loot hidden away or something on them or resource gathering which will be meh.

But hopefully do see some more cities. Being on gamepass will be something I end up playing. Expect plenty of mods and patch's by the community will make it even better.
 
I'll no doubt give it a play with it being on Gamepass. I'm not quite sure what to make of it though to be honest. The first few minutes looked utterly dreadful but it looked much better once they showed off the city etc.
The scope of the game seems really insane; build your own ship, fly around and have space dogfights...being able to fully explore 1000 planets etc. No idea what that actually means though. Is it going to be 1000 mostly empty areas to just run around in aimlessly?? And to be honest I haven't really got on with any Bethesda games since Morrowind... so yeah.

I guess I'll just have to suck it and see as they say.

Same here - though I would probably get the standalone version if you want to mod. But at least on Gamepass you can first try the game out before committing!

Also those commenting on the performance not being great - that is the same with all Bethesda games. Even Fallout 4 in larger areas with more NPCs(especially user built settlements) could see performance issues.
 
I though the vegetation shown (in cities and landscapes) looked really poor.
Character models looked a bit better.
Most everything else looked to clean.
Anyway, this will hang on the Starfield Construction Kit.
Without it, it will be the usual empty Bethesda worlds. I feel that these large worlds really need summer very good AI features not just the normal thing the had before - you know where the uesp wiki says those NPC does X in the morning, then 8 hours of Y, and 4 hours of X, etc. I think this is too little these days.
And if they try to monetize the mod community it might kill modding altogether.
 
Doesn't look like you can freely land on planets manually or take off and fly around a atmosphere of a planet. It seems as though you select a poi marker on a planet and press travel and your ship automatically goes and lands there..

It's not like start citizen where you can freely land there.

Also, despite ships having interiors. Are they fully explorable once your flying? As in can you actually jump out of the pilot seat and just have a wonder and talk to your ai npc crew?
 
Looks great for me personally. I do feel gamers are a little spoiled these days.

It's a beautiful game in space that is actually being released unlike SC which i stupidly backed back in 2012.

This game is RIP to Star Citizen for me personally.

Looking at the video there looks to be at least 5-6 different environments, which is great.

I've always felt that free landing on planets got a bit boring and time consuming after the first few goes. I much prefer the mass effect style of landing on planets.

It depends what there is on the Planets. if it's barren wastelands with nothing of interest at all then yes it'll be boring as hell. They'll need to populate the planets with something. Crashed ships, remnants of ancient civilisations with amazing technology or something.
 
I also was underwhelmed. It looked nice but there no character or feeling to it.

You need a reason to go somewhere. It's fine being able to land anywhere / go anywhere but why? There needs to be something there for you to explore, a reason to go there. And not just a randomly generated cave system with some ore in it.

I did get strong Star Citizen vibes (it's that type of game) but without the sense of scale that SC has.
 
Looked underwhelming to me. Great music, environments look great, but boring intro, obvious reskinned fallout models, terrible performance, likely 1000 copy and paste planets and outposts. Hope I’m wrong, but I’m far less hyped than I was.
