That's a great point actually. Just imagine flying through space to find a derelict space station just sitting there where you can land and slowly uncover what actually happened there.

The scale of it is amazing and seeing people reduce it down to NMS has been pretty annoying. No offense to NMS, it's a great game but Starfield is just doing so much more.
Im probably going to spend more time alone making outposts and making my ship look cool than I've played most games haha
Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see they are VERY different games…but it suited certain folks with an agenda to engage in that nonsense.
This thread looks like it will be devoid of all that. In fact, I think this should become the de facto Starfield OT.
Quoting again because I just finished part 2 and it's an amazing analysis.
There is so much jam packed into this game, holy shit.
The comparison here ignore most aspects of what makes SF different. It's alright to criticize and critique, but some of the takes here seem weird and unfortunate.
I'd say the gun feedback could use some work but beyond that looks stellar so far with what is shown and still have a long ways to release.
Only read if you want a little spoiler
Supposedly there is a pirate city on an asteroid, came from a leak that has basically been proven accurate
Kinda expected, and that's good to hear. Location makes sense as well, very on brand.
I could see that as a part of one of the DLCs if it's not in the main game. They could use a similar interface to the ship construction for it. Basically a marriage of the outpost and ship building systems.
I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes an option eventually. I mean even one of Skyrim's add-ons, Hearthfire was focused on building your own home so for Starfield having buildable space station might be a larger scope of the same concept.
Build Your Own Space Station feels like prime modding content if Bethesda doesn't add it officially
Everyone gonna be flying around with giant dick shaped spaceships
Concerned if it has something like VATS or it doesn't have it?
Doesn't have. It kinda carried the combat in fallout for me
It'd be cool if you could buy an implant that enabled a VATS-equivalent feature. Maybe one of the character creator backgrounds can start with it included
VATS would also be great for space combat, let me target different parts of the ship with homing missiles to disable weaponry
Selling, but only after taking the best parts from their ship to upgrade yours.
ACG just dropped a really informative video deconstructing the 1K planets, procedural gen, and NMS comparisons. He pulls a lot of info in from game devs and game theorists on the topic. Also talks game pacing, BGS brand of open-world design and how that features in the mix.
It's a great watch.
Spoiler: It's gonna be just fine.
I'm not sure what people are imagining when they say Beth makes bad gunplay, I haven't played anything that blows it away. However their gun design was the weakest thing in base FO4, like generic looking guns that fill up half your screen.
Something easily "fixed" by modders and I'm sure the same thing will happen in Starfield with proper Star Wars, Warhammer, Alien, and Starship Trooper smart guns, blasters, pulse rifles...
More DAKKA!
Thank you! I really enjoyed part 1, will def dive into this haha.
It looks like a game that Sony would have showed off at E3 2005 claiming it was running in real time on PS3, anyway
I was thinking close to NMS on ultra low settings. Maybe on ultra low, you are able to fully customize your character since both games have so much in common.
Basically.
Modders can use the same parts as the outposts for a starter, but I'm guessing there will be much more custom parts too from the community. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If Bethesda is providing official assets from DLC, that would be much better.
Whenever I see this concept art it makes me wonder if we will get some kind of rover like the Mako. I mean, it's concept art and concepts get changed or cut all the time.
Or maybe this is just set dressing on one of the hand crafted worlds. 🤷
I have a theory that Starfield will connect with Halo in some ways.
Looks no better than Skyrim on max settings /s
To be fair, there are better done characters in Fallout 76. That one is horrible even for 76.
(not saying it looks no better than Skyrim cause it definitely does, not even sure how people say that. But you managed to pick the one char in 76 that even I notice how bad she looks and I tend to cringe when I have to interact with her).
Systems with multiple stars? 🤔
I know alpha centauri has 3 stars in real life, and they even toyed with the idea of having them ingame as you can see on this concept art
So even if they dropped the concept for that system, maybe we'll still get it on others
