It's Twitter warrior bullshit that IGN is spreading for clicks.

Nothing wrong with comparing games that have similarities, but honestly apart from the fact they are both space games where you can land on different planets, the only real similarity i saw was the shooting a gun to collect resources.
Apart from that they are going to be quite different experiences.

Not really but it's fun to say "No Man's Skyrim."

Maybe people compare them for a reason, on paper we've got procedural generation, a space theme and rpg mechanics, etc.
I thought the same when seeing Starfield's gameplay honestly, NMS 2.0, we'll see.
Oh, the part when mining resources was what cemented my take on it actually.

This is the no man sky remake? It does not show a generational leap. Jesus this is the remake no one asked For!

Looking at the picture SF, copy some things from NMS, but which game does not do this? I mean, basing on who came first there are things that are copy from NMS, but those things are copy from whatever game it was NMS was inspired before. Each developer copy something that works on any game "NEWS at ELEVEN".
Ask yourself, what is SF doing that another game didn't do it before? Shooting? Killing? Exploring? Gathering? all games are a copy of one another, now what matters is the execution, the story, the art, and other things that will make this game a gem or a flop.

There’s clearly similarities. I will admit I’ve never played No Man’s Sky, but being pretty familiar with previous Bethesda games, I’d imagine Starfield will have No Man’s Sky beat when it comes to story, amount of dialogue, and combat.

At least Bethesda are capable of creating engaging worlds, content and gameplay loops. NMS is the worst game I’ve played in this generation, so I hope they don’t take any inspiration

It is basically, except they have a huge budget. Hello Games is a indie studio in comparison. It should be better.
You never know though, No Man Sky 2 could be in the works, two can play this game Sean.

No good for starfield great for No man's sky. Gamers are dumb.
Why are you immediately reading ill-intent in these comparisons? The first thing I thought of while watching the stream live was "I'm getting real NMS vibes here. . .and I love it!"
. . .like, I get it if you think the intent behind the comparison is to suggest creative laziness on the part of BETHESDA (which is insane), but I'm not getting that at all - at least from the IGN Tweet.

I didn't think No Man Sky until the multi-tool came out and started to mine for the minerals on the wall. I imagine that's how you'll collect crafting materials. Other than that, they look completely different. However, you won't really know until extended play sessions are released. For NMS, I really had no idea what the game was until getting into it. For early adopters, the game loop was quite repetitive. I have an idea of what SF gameplay loop will be. Whether it's too repeative or void we won't know until launch. By the looks and customization, I'd think people would be comparing to Elite Dangerous than No Mans Sky

If you watched that video where they get off the ship and start laser shooting the walls to "mine" for resources and didn't think of NMS, then you haven't played NMS.

people should stop being idiots, it's obviously fallout/skyrim in space.

NMS had another update?
In all seriousness though, it looks like an evolved version of NMS, at least from the trailers (hopefully Starfield delivers what the trailer promised lol). The only things that NMS do not have is the perks system, and the ship customization. The overarching narrative is to find these artifacts yes? Kind of similar to searching what Atlas is in NMS. The game looks great though. Nothing wrong with it looking similar to NMS. some people are so defensive about this haha.

honestly first thing I thought when I saw this was "oh damn someone gave no mans sky a realistic texture pack" but then realized this is going have better RPG elements honestly think this is a win-win for everyone

I mean Starfield is a Betrhesda rpg, which means tons of talking npc's a ridiculous amount of side quests and activities, a huge main story etc, everything that NMS isnt.
I mean this is like saying soccer reminds me of tennis because they both use balls. Both are space games, both has you landing on different planets, you can use your lazer gun to mine resources. Yes there are similarities, as there are in most games.
I dont really see the problem.

Basically means yes. So everyone is saying yes.

Whether one took inspiration from the other means nothing and should be nothing. This shouldn't generate any negative headlines or stoke any fanboy wars.
Both I'm sure are fantastic games in their own right and highlights the fact we need more of these types of space based exploration games.
I'd have both. I will have both.

There is no problem but we're dealing with gamers so everything is a problem.

I got both NMS and Star Citizen vibes from it. And that's a good thing.

Do you really not see the similarities in games where you space travel from planet to planet scanning and laser mining elements to craft/upgrade your gun/ship, create planet bases, fight space pirates using jetpacks on an immense number of proceduraly generated planets. With space battles too... That really doesnt remind you of nms ? I'm not saying that it is all that Starfield will be but the similarities are pretty obvious.

I mean as someone who watches a lot of Star Citizen, Starfield is much closer to SC than No Mans Sky.
Even SC doesnt have the rpg elemants or mission structure and depth of Starfield though (yet).
I would def 'get' this comparison if people were comparing it to SC.
