Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[whydoibother]

Looks sooo much better than either f4 or skyrim!

Looks like a reskin of Fallout 4, what are you talking about? Other than the space combat, which we don't know much about, this entire game could be made as a Fallout 4 overhaul mod.

Bethesda doing procedural planet generation AND flying spaceships? Oh god, jank will be glorious.

Space flight and 1000 planets procedurally generated but still no ladders.

Here's your RPG, bro

 

[Sheepherder]

Is brown and bloom "in" again? The color palette looks like shit.

Here's your RPG, bro

From "Pick your class", to "Traits: 0/3".

 

[Just Locus]

Okay, that's it, i was WAY too generous with my past comment.
RANT INCOMING

What does character background customization have to do with "class"?
It's clearly a classless system.

I get it, you only play storybooks and are angry this isn't a visual novel.

There are always alternatives :-P.

"Over a hundred systems, with over a thousand planets"

We will be counting, Todd.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

so diplomat skill only affect skill success chance and barter price, no additional dialogue options??? FUCK YOU TODD

The first thing after picking diplomat they show in the video is an NPC commenting on you being a diplomat.

 

[Just Locus]

It looks massively better than Fallout 4 and Skyrim, which isn't a high bar to reach tbh.
and I have played an autistic amount of hours in Fallout 4 to know that they copied the same equip/un-equip animation from Fallout 4.
holy shit, it's truly NMS in space, but with a more modern coat of paint.

How many of you bet that the massive planet that's revealed at the beginning is just the skybox and you can't actually explore it?

 

[ADL]

Imagine the modlists trying to fill 1000 planets worth of content.

"Over a hundred systems, with over a thousand planets"

And what they mean by that is a thousand barren rocks with the same few dozen recycled assets vomited all over them.

I love how the shooting still looks janky as fuck, absolutely no feedback.

But I also have to take back what I said, the art direction is pretty sweet - too bad the game is being made by Bethesda and will be as shallow and predictable as every other turd they've shat out since Fallout 3.

Also, too many niggers.

Honestly? I prefer that colorful vomit over b&b. This game looks like that area in FNV that's near Cottonwood Cove.

If only all those modders would band toghether to try to improve games worth improving insteading of spending an hundred million man hours trying to put lipstick on a pig.

 

[CrunchyHemorrhoids]

Couldn't care less how Daggerfall with space marines performs as a shooter. The Achilles' heel is still going to be the writing. From the samples we got of the factions introducing themselves it sounds as dull and juvenile as anything they've put out since Oblivion.

 

[gerey]

I'm gonna be laughing my ass off if Bethesda steals Chris Roberts' thunder with Starfield, at the fraction of development cost, and make more bank in the process.

Imagine the modlists trying to fill 1000 planets worth of content.

At least they'll have plenty to keep themselves busy.

people insulting this right now are simultaneously jacking off to this garbage

"press and hold"
oh no no he didn't even design for PC first

 

[KVVRR]

How many "procedually generated space games" do there have to be released for people to stop falling for such a meme genre?
Starbound, No Man's Sky, Starfield... no wait that still hasn't released yet. But still. Surely you guys don't expect much from this aside from, maybe, a decently engaging gameplay loop?

Pentiment = soul
Starfield = soulless
The game is an ugly washed-out mess that lacks color grading and I can only imagine the technical state of it. Anyone who thought No Man's Sky: Gamebryo edition was gonna be any good needs to get their head examined. They haven't demonstrated the ability to deliver on a concept like this since Daggerfall and all those guys left Bethesda 25 years ago.

Literally 0 (zero) white people in the entire footage.

There are no white people in the future.
