Starfield gameplay revealed
- Thread starter Biosnake
- Start date
Got some Fallout 4 x Mass Effect vibes from the gameplay. Cautiously optimistic, but its still Fallout 4/Skyrim in space. Which I don't mind as long as mod support is there. Also, city scale seems a bit better this time (at first glance), but still not large enough.
Edit: Also, yeah, RPG systems seem to be super underwhelming. Really want to see how quests are handled at least. No stats is disappointing.
Also, f building crap again. I really wish there was no requirements around building outpost crap.

That's not good because Outer Worlds itself was pretty bland.
The more I think about this the less impressed I am. I have played elite dangerous, so Honestly, this is not that special unless there is content or story to be found on each one.
So, like Main Elder Scrolls and Fallout game in the last 18 years, the gameplay itself looked Ok.
BUT, like Main Elder Scrolls and Fallout game in the last 18 years, I'm very excited to play it and will likely destroy concept of the passage of time by the amount I will play it

Given the size and amount of worlds in this game I'm pretty surprised that people think it looked bad.
It's absolutely massive, a strong showing I'd just like to see a good narrative tie it together.

cool concept but it really did just remind me of no man's sky with different visuals really will be interesting to compare the two, I'll play it day 1 due to gamepass but it looked pretty rough here and there. Hoping for the best though there's a ton of hype around the game for sure
i think for your non-enthusiast gamer it's probably a huge selling point.
I know "No Man's Skyrim" was put in as a joke but honestly that's what this appears to be. Which is not really a bad thing. From the trailer this really is just Bethesda RPG with next-gen graphics (that look OK for how massive this will be). I wouldn't be surprised if there's some form of VATS on the game either.
I'm probably more exited about the mods than the game itself.

I have to assume people that say it looks like a last-gen game are watching a super compressed, small version of it. The draw distance, geometry detail, textures, lighting, etc. are all bumped up quite a bit compared to most last-gen games. Some of the indoor environments look really natural.
Framerate is whatever at this point for a Bethesda game. People on PC will just brute force it into running well like usual.
The scope of this, or at least the scope it promises, is massive and brutally intriguing, but -
goddamn do they need to POLISH. Too much stutter, extremely lackluster animations (the insectoid alien's legs didn't even really touch the ground). Gunplay looked awful, no impact whatsoever. Early 2023? Not without crunch I say. Looks too rough.

The frame rate was abysmal for sure and the shooting looked stiff. Honestly, those are my only criticisms and I hope that's the reason why they delayed...
...the rest however, was fucking incredible! The sheer number of systems at play seem absolutely ridiculous!
I am so here for the base building and the ship creation - this will keep me occupied for years to come. Nevermind all of the other customization options on show.
The game was janky, because there is genuinely so much going on.

yeah I imagine there some sort of protective barrier/ area that stops you going below a certain height in cites.
Flying looks very simplistic. Elite and Star Citizen this is not. From the way they showed it, I would guess it's more like Lego Star Wars. You can fly around in a limited area in space, and then button-click to land at a particular point on a planet or button-click to warp to another area/planet/whatever. Doesn't look like we'll actually have free reign to fly around the entire surface of the planets, or do things like assaulting enemy outposts from the air.
That said, it's just Skyrim/Fallout meets No Man's Sky otherwise. I've bought all the other games of theirs day one and I've always gotten more than my money's worth. I don't see why this one would be any different. Still excited. And the delay just gives me time to replay and finish their other games before this drops.

I can not possibly be the only one who read "1000 planets to explore" and instantly started hearing alarm bells go off.
Right?
Right?
The "looks like Fallout 4=bad" statements feel like fanboy dismissiveness.
Just from what we've seen so far, it really does look like they've taken a ton of feedback from Fallout 4 and have fixed faults found in that game.
-More control over your character's backstory
-No focus on a voiced protagonist
-Significantly improved base building (there's actually a separate top down camera for it now).
-Settlements that actually feel populated vs. 20-30 people living in a single "city".

I hope it does.
I want Starfield's gunplay to look and play the same way as Redfall did earlier in the presentation.
It's 1000 planets and no game has a single handcrafted planet sized world. Be it 1000 worlds or one billion they are both produced by an algorithm. It would be hard to imagine that Bethesda could produce even one unique point of interest per planet.
So far it looks like an improvement in every aspect from everything BGS have done before. Can't wait to play it.
Game looked incredible but I'm concerned about the exploration. I love Bethesda's open world because there's always something around every corner and for a vast majority of it to be generated without anyone touching it up is really not what I want. I hope there's still enough hand crafted areas that'll give me the same feeling.
Not sure what people are disappointed by here? Aside from the gunplay and choppy frame rate, the game looks pretty incredible to me so far. So many things for people to sink their teeth into from the looks of it.
I'm already feeling that diplomat background.
