One thing I would love to see is a diversity of biomes within one planet.
Out of a 3 minute trailer, I saw 15 seconds of gameplay. But let’s be real. This is Bethesda. We know what to expect. Tons of bugs and an already prepared statement to release after people realize their $70-$300 game isn’t released in a playable state. The best thing to do is wait for release. Check out reviews from your favorite source and also User reviews. Then wait a year for the community mod that fixes all the bugs that Bethesda was not able to fix. Then you might as well wait another year for DLC and for Starfield to be on sale.
There’s like a 50 minute gameplay walkthrough.

Yeah, I was confused too. Then I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMOPoAq5vIA - I haven’t watched it yet, but it seems to be a new video going through gameplay.
The Starfield Direct showing really sold me on this. It looks like it comes the closest to my dream space game of anything released so far. Elite Dangerous nailed the feel of piloting your own spacecraft, but I didn’t get on with the actual structure of the game. No Man’s Sky continues to do amazing things, but its spaceflight feels a bit too stripped back for me and it still feels a little too aimless for my tastes.
This looks like a perfect middle ground, all backed up with a full blown Bethesda RPG too keep me engaged. :D
My only criticisms based on the Direct are that characters, and indeed character interactions still look a bit dated compared to more recent games, especially Cyberpunk 2077, and that the combat still looks a little janky. Don’t get me wrong, it looks a lot better than Bethesda’s older games, but still seems to be showcasing some rather basic AI and spongey enemies. Hopefully the RPG elements will make this side of the game feel more rewarding.
The characters seem to still being doing that Bethesda thing where they just stand in attention at you and stare you down lol.
Really curious to see how the combat actually feels and if there will be a V.A.T.S. like system, I know that’s something that a lot of people like and the combat is this game looks a lot faster than any combat in a Bethesda game before. So it could turn some people off who aren’t a big fan of fast paced combat but really enjoy Bethesda stories and worlds.
I think it’s very funny that everyone familiar with Bethesda games saw those NPC interactions and was like “oh yeah that’s a Bethesda rpg.”
Still, I’m cautiously optimistic. Wait for full release and reviews before purchasing, etc.
I want to be able to play this in vr. Modded Skyrimvr is probably the best gaming experience I’ve ever had.
Me too buddy me too
After that 45 minute breakdown I’m very excited for No Man’s Skyrim. I can definitely understand the hesitation, it’s almost definitely gonna be riddled with bugs on release, but I’ve got gamepass, so I’ll happily beta test for y’all!
A space exploration game with a “scan everything” mechanic, what a surprise… Really sick of this feature that replaces actual game design
Yeah, people are talking about the hesitation with the bugs, but I’m just hesitant on the gameplay. Procedural worlds, scanning, “barren but resource rich planets” don’t sound like riveting gameplay to me. The actual gameplay that was shown looked alright, but parts of it felt really weak. Worried they want the wrong way on Ambition vs. Fun
I really like what I’m seeing, ranging from the depth of things to do, to how granular the systems are, to how much I love the art direction Bethesda has taken. That said, it still won’t be a day-1 buy for me when it launches, I simply don’t trust big AAA releases anymore and will wait at least a little while to see if it’s simply unpolished, or flat-out broken.
Starfield players on day one: “This game is incredible and life-changing! I’m so glad I pre-ordered!”
Starfield players on day 2: “PSA to new players, be careful not to go into space or else your save will get corrupted!”
As always, try to keep your hype in check and wait for the release. It sure looks good now but we’ll never know until someone has played it.
Let’s hope it will work out excellent!
Maybe I am just incredibly contrarian, but the art direction really inspires no emotions in me. I understand the idea of “NASApunk” but it looks like every DeviantArt near future art page. Blocky construction with a lot of triangle shaped cutouts and scalloping.
There is the cowboy sector and the cyberpunk sector, and on their own they look more interesting, but it seems like a kitchen sink approach to a tone instead of something with a more coherent identity.
I hope the game has more heart and identity, and I end up being one of those haters shown in a retrospective video on how great it is.
Going to be interesting once the modding come about on Starfield. I would still wait for the reviews to come out before buying the game though.
This looks very cool and like it’ll hit a lot of things I like in games. But, woof, the “will I buy it?” decision tree will be nuts: Will it run well on my 1060? Do I want to play it enough to upgrade? How much will I need to spend? Will I use my PC enough to justify spending?
It does look cool, though.
Great trailer! Reminds me how I wish No Man’s Sky could keep its hooks in me for longer. I like so much about it, but think I need a little more of a thread to pull me along to stick with it.
Are we gonna have 16 times the detail again?
actually 1000x the detail considering you get 1000 times the planets. I cant wait for the Todd Howard Lies compilation a few months from now haha
I’m excited! It looks to have combined the universe of No Man’s Sky, the main storyline of Interstellar & Contact, and the diversity of factions and cities of Skyrim. I’m a Patient Gamer so I won’t be preordering (this game or any other), but I’m optimistic we will (eventually) have a winner.
I’m excited. It’s Bethesda so of course it’ll be full of bugs. In some ways it’s become part of the Bethesda charm. The on planet gameplay looks like a very polished No Man’s Sky and that’s a good thing.
