I look forward to watching those dynamic head turns in 20fps whenever my steam deck turns up
yeah this is my biggest worry as well. I have a VRR TV so it "may" help but im hoping the performance is up to par with the visuals
I've been staying away a lot more from Era and some other sites because it's pretty toxic and I'm too old for that shit.
The game will do well. It's looks fantastic and is what I wanted.
They really upped their visuals compared to FO76/FO4.
This game is super ambitious when you consider how long they've been working on it and how many people are working on it compared to their previous projects.

Good news is that they've still got at least 9 months to a year to iron it out. Game is likely still in Alpha or early Beta, so l'm hopeful the game will have some sort of 60 fps mode (on Series X). Obviously 60fps+ can be brute forced or massaged with settings on PC, but the more optimization, the better.
I wonder how recruiting a crew will work. Are they all going to be major side characters, or just random NPCs? Would be interesting if the structure was more like Suikoden where there are 100s of minor characters that you can recruit if you try correctly. My worry is that they are just "generated" (like you add a crew slot to your ship and an NPC just shows up who you didn't previously meet).
This. As someone else said. The Expanse: The Next Generation
Fallout 4 was very playable in 3rd person. Hopefully Starfield improves upon that further.
Yeah, the crew stuff can be really cool. Do they level up? Do they add perks to your player/ship? Can we send members to collect stuff on a planet, leave, return and see what they collected?
Man, this game has endless potential.
Seems like it depends on how big your ship is. During the ship customization segment, one of the stats at the bottom was "crew".
Are there any interviews or quotes where Bethesda has mentioned stuff like this being planned for the game? Or is this inferred from how their past game worlds have been?
This will be my first Bethesda game so I don't have much knowledge on their past output. But I would fucking love to see all of that make it into Starfield.
And also so they aren't tempted to implement any type of crunch.
Edit: which someone already mentioned I see 😊
I pulled this from the excellent frame by frame breakdown linked earlier in the thread. Is it dumb to assume that May 7 may be the new release date in 2023?
Seeing as May 7 is a Sunday, probably yeah

I know not everything from concept art gets in the final game, but this thing better be there and pettable.
Probably will have. Fallout 4 was big on having doggo feature
Doubt it since May 7 is a Sunday... buttttt there are some theories in the Xbox OT that they'll release it on National Space Day (5/5/2023)

Has there been any talk on how water will work in the game? Like can there be ocean planets where you're mostly exploring underwater, or things along those lines?
This just made me realize how amazing the beautiful Bethesda ragdolls are going to be once you start messing with gravity.

If I were forced to put money down on it (I don't gamble) that would be my guess. Gives them lots of polishing and optimization time as well.
regarding the concept art- I wonder if the player can be a parent in the game? You have your kid along with you for the ride on the ship (but obviously not in gameplay out of the ship)
The animations have taken an overhaul since fallout 4 and look great
Some did, as in it was derivative of Starship Troopers. But that's forgetting that a lot of previous BGS games had big enemy bug like creatures in them anyway.
This snippet blew my mind. I did NOT expect a Bethesda game to have fights as dynamic as this haha
Well, one obvious troll was already banned based on their behaviour in this excellent Starfield thread…it's just a matter of all of us being determined to keep it that way.
Doesn't mean the game can't be critiqued - the frame rate needs some work - but the obvious trolling drive bys are easy enough to spot.
Don't just ignore, report if necessary.
One of my favorite parts. The planet in the background, the sound. Never expected full on space combat in a Bethesda RPG
We definitely need a Performance Mode - I'll gladly take that at 1080 or 1440p over a 4K Quality Mode
But now the bugs are in………
You missed a joke about BGS games always having bugs.
It's ok to be wrong, lol. Just kidding. I'd prefer 4k@30 than a lower resolution.
Sadly, I'm the one asshole that hasn't encountered a Bethesda bug/jank. And I've played all their games since Morrowind on Xbox.
Someone mentioned here that this looks like an official The Expanse game and good lord it couldn't have been more apt. Straight to my veins.
I'm just absolutely hyped for the modding potential in this game. Imagine an entire modded planet with its own set of stories and everything
I might have to have different profiles. One that can play vanilla Starfield, and one that can experience mods.
Makes sense since both things, Starfield and The Expanse, occur in a timeline just a few decades apart from one another. They have a similar technology vibe to me. Can't wait for the Rocinante to appear. 😊
60fps absolutely transforms the Starfield footage into god-tier levels. No issues at all with 4K 30. But I'll require a higher frame rate mode as well for my sanity…and the health of my eyes, lol.
I think gravity is going to be an interesting element in the game. The first time the demo player jumped as they were working their way down the hillside, they didn't use the jetpack and they jumped quite high. Also, you see the planets have different gravity in the galaxy view and some references to that in some skills here and there.
So would be interesting to have that effect the gameplay, too. I think it will, clearly.
I do hope we see more impressive space stations though. The ones we've seen have been decidedly too close to current reality. Especially compared to even the space ships and many of the buildings. I want to see an asteroid station like Eros, or a large, fancy station like Tycho. Maybe even a big colony ship like the Nauvoo. The planet stuff is whatever, I want them to really flesh out space.
