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

[Robotigan]

The entire logic of the digital economy has suffered such a psychotic breakdown through its soulless pursuit of profits that *anything* feeling remotely touched by human authorship and quality has become purely accidental.

Edgy complaints about corporate greed has to be one of the most sophomoric ways to frame "stop doing things I don't like". Especially since when skilled artists do create pure passion projects, they're often really esoteric designs appreciated mostly by other auteurs and derided as pretentious by everybody else. Turns out you do like profit signals that compel artists to create things you'll buy. You just don't like that everyone else has the same leverage.

Ulysses, Eraserhead, Jackson Pollack's portfolio, any one-man stage act, etc. In the realm of gaming, Antichamber comes to mind.

Jackson Pollack's portfolio

They just have to figure out how to untie ship speed from refresh rate then they can release it.

hahahha what a funny joke, that totally wouldn't be a problem for them and their engine though! funny to joke about though! haha!

Let's kill biggest mystery of gaming industry: Why big budget games are incresingly buggy, frequently delayed and non-innovative? Zero senior programmers who can cleverly code on board. Bunch of low cost, diversity, woke and "all I know is Creation Engine" oldtimer devs. 5-6-7 year development cycles and 11+ years gaps between installments in major multi billion $ worth franchise like Elder Scrolls are result of complete failure by management to set good course for the ship and complete failure of crew to spot icebergs

Not having spin-off RTS, grand-strategy, city-builder, isometric cRPG, dungeon crawler, action-adventure or even point&click adventure set in Elder Scrolls universe in parallel by all the micro-transaction ridden mobile crap they put out has left BILLION+ $ laying on the floor in span of last 11 years since Skyrim's release. Not to mention that it proves lvl of dickpain for the franchise

Keep in mind: these people are rich af morons. That should be inspirational to morons and non-morons alike

 

[Ryzer]

Zero senior programmers who can cleverly code on board.

Most good old games had young programmers with little to no experience on board except their courses and their youth.

 

[The Wall]

Senior doesn't mean old. It means you know to code
Many senior programmers are in their late 20s
Julian LeFay while coding Daggerfall in 90s was Senior

Monomyth and ManorLords are made by single Senior programmers with 2-3 outsourcing associates. Monomyth Dev is 31. Almost all Colony Ship devs are Seniors, most in their 30s. Styg of Underrail is Senior

TLDR: They don't know how to code. Simple As

Are there really people here looking forward to shis thing?

 

[Late Bloomer]

Are there really people here looking forward to shis thing?

Yes, very much so. I have greatly enjoyed Daggerfall, Morrowind (not at first but grew to really like it), Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, and the amount of mods available for all their games. They are a company that has put out games that I have enjoyed for many years now. Fallout 76 recovered so I don't hold it against them overmuch.
The showcase they had for Starfield was quite worrisome. Not because of the unfinshed gameplay but because of this.

I dont want to spend time talking to or looking at npc's that resemble these abominations. The idea of mutts in space is very unappealing.

The most damning thing is this though

Not having spin-off RTS, grand-strategy, city-builder, isometric cRPG, dungeon crawler, action-adventure or even point&click adventure set in Elder Scrolls universe in parallel by all the micro-transaction ridden mobile crap they put out has left BILLION+ $ laying on the floor in span of last 11 years since Skyrim's release.

Their lack of interest in expanding upon their IP's speaks volumes on their confidence and ability.

But, I am still looking forward to it. With the amount of hours I have put into their games for 20 plus years I would be foolish not to. Although I anticipate them to chip away at that interest as they release more laughable showcases, trailers, and gameplay of it.

 

[Modron]

In space no one can hear you miscegenate.

 

[Red7]

in space no one can hear vagina rape. beside her and u ofc. and other all female crew thats next in rape line.

Hey, at least they look better than the faces in The Outer Worlds.

EDIT: I guess I should eat my words, I was wrong.

Starfield Composer Says the Game Is Huge and Will Give You Another Perspective on Your Whole Being​

Starfield was notably missing at both Bethesda's own QuakeCon and Cologne's Gamescom events, so fans have to scrounge up every tidbit of info they can.

Luckily, renowned Israeli-American composer Inon Zur appeared in a lengthy video interview on the YouTube channel Nikhil Hogan Show. Zur has done a lot of critically acclaimed work for videogames, ever since Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal and all the way down to more recent titles like Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Dragon Age II, Dragon's Dogma, Fallout 76, and of course Starfield itself.

When the interviewer questioned him about the upcoming Bethesda Game Studios title, Zur thoroughly explained why he believes Starfield will be a remarkable game.

Starfield is a deep game, it's a philosophical game. It's a game that will consume a lot of... if you want to play Starfield it'll consume a lot of your being. I believe that after Starfield, you will be a bit of... I wouldn't say changed person, but it will definitely give you another perspective. Maybe a deeper perspective to your whole being.

In terms of size, Starfield is a huge game, at least twice as big as the biggest game Bethesda ever did, really. So it's huge. But it's not only that. The premise of Starfield and the courage to ask questions and try to answer them is actually standing in the core of Starfield. It's more than just another shooter or another RPG game. Starfield really takes a very courageous step into a realm that is more philosophical.

It's not about how it looks, it's not about how the gameplay is, although they're also incredible, but it's not about that. It's about the story and the ability to write your own story within the story that Starfield really is. In your ability to ask questions, seek for their answers, and maybe get them.

Starfield, the first new IP conceived by Bethesda Game Studios in over 25 years, is targeting a launch on PC and Xbox Series S|X at some point in the first half of 2023. You can check out all of the known info in our roundup post.

[thesecret1]

twice as big as the biggest game Bethesda ever did,

Twice the size of Daggerfal? I assume it's gonna all be procgen shit then

 

[Child of Malkav]

25 years in the making? WTF? So it should be the contender for the best game ever? Like literally. These liars, philosophical...Bethesda writing is laughable at best. When's that karma thing coming to finally nuke them already?

 

[Caim]

No need to asssume, we already know that this is going to be procgen aside from the stuff for the main quest lines.

How to say nothing while pretending you say something.

Antichamber was awesome.

I never liked Inon Zur's works, they were mostly not distracting at least. Jeremy Soule blows this one out of the water. A pity we get a second grade composer, but what else to expect from modern Bethesda...

 

[Yosharian]

God that game broke my mind.
