So I just thought about somthing, are you telling me this is SP only? There was no mention of online, co op, etc. Or is this going to be a feature a year later so you can keep paying for a service you will only use for this game?

You can just buy the game normally instead of keep paying for said service you know

Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind didnt have MP.
No reason this game should have MP.

Seems like another Bethesda game that's going to be a much better experience on powerful PC than consoles.

Don't start that. We're all XBROS! Just think for a sec if MS didn't release this on PC!!!? I sure af would be crying today for weeks.

 

[Mephisto40]

I cant help but notice they never once showed you actually taking off or landing the ship on a planet yourself

 

[abacab driver]

Here's your game of 2023, easily.

 

[Sacred]

I'm talking about the game overall dumbass.

Yes, you are still a clown.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I really liked the compass navigation. I saw a gravity metric I don't think I saw the O2 meter move at all.

 

[Gudji]

Yes, you are still a clown.

That makes two of us.

 

[adamsapple]

Man, the amount of environmental diversity in the footage was AMAZING.

I can easily believe when Bethesda says this is their most ambitious game yet.

And a fully customizable space module with combat.

This game is going to be NUTS.

This is very hard to achieve actually. They either won't implement it or its still in a state that can't be showcased.

 

[MightySquirrel]

So you dont think your bias is blinding you to what you've actually seen now? Try to look at it objectively, as if bethesda didn't make this game, and it was some other dev you dont know.

Thing is 'other' studios aren't capable in recreating Bethesda's magic !

 

[Fredrik]

Yeah, the planetary part at the end got me good.

Massive Mass Effect 1 vibes.

Yup, it’s Mass Effect x No Man’s Sky, in all the best ways!
Is there a chance they show more on the extended show on 14th?

 

[strange headache]

Looks like Fallout 4 in space, with base/ship building, the same janky combat and slightly improved graphics.
It still looks very much like the same Fallout engine though and it will probably play the same.

Here's to hoping that exploration will be enjoyable and not just 990 empty planets for mining and a handful of handcrafted places to check out.
Didn't look very polished.

Would have been amazing if this were multiplayer though. Missed opportunity right there!

Jesus, sorry i was impressed by what i saw. I'm not the only one.
Like i said, i was honestly expecting Skyrim/Fallout gameply, in space with a graphics upgrade. What this deep dive showed was way more.

Trust me, he's here in spirit. As a lurker......

Explore 1,000s of completely barren planets to pick up something for someone living in a great looking outpost. Rinse, repeat. On the up side I thought the voice acting sounded pretty good and I like the art style to a degree.

I mean, they all but admitted most of them were going to be empty, and just there for "resource farming." Which is fine. They also noted that a subset are going to be "Goldilocks" worlds and then the more bespoke worlds like Jemison.

As long as the main worlds are interesting to explore (I doubt they are going to have dense planets like Earth) with an increase in content density from SKYRIM and FO4, I think it's fine to have some rinky dink planets that are just there for resource grinding - just like the hundreds of random caves, mines and whatnot from SKYRIM and FO4.

 

[FearlessBelgian]

This game looks sick, i need it !!!!

[SenjutsuSage]

One of the best videogame overviews I've ever seen. And those fucking graphics on a Bethesda game. HUUUUGE leap for them. Environments, interiors, characters. Lighting, it all just looks fantastic.

These two shots are my first true next gen moment from a MS or Sony first party game. Just wow. The draw distance, the lighitng, and the asset quality of those rocks are just phenomenal.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

all of my prophecies became true

whos laughing now

Nobody will be laughing, they'll instead be crying if that's gonna be the performance at launch cause oof.

 

[jshackles]

Looks like No Man's Skyrim, and I'm cool with that

I'm sure there will be odd settlemnts, or collectables to find on these planets. Maybe alien artifacts etc.
But yeah most of them will be used for resource gathering.

 

[Silent Viper]

Is this on xbox one as well? looks cross-gen

Watch 4k video. Stream was 1080p all blurry

 

[Starfield]

here are the results of my bingo:

 

[ZehDon]

Loved it. Game of the show, and easily my most anticipated title right now. Watch the 4k version of YouTube - game looks outstanding.

A few things that really stood out to me:

• Sound design is really good. Everything sounds so tangible, so functional.
• Creation Engine still can't do hair and eyes right.
• The look of the world and combat reminds me of the early Destiny footage in all the right ways.
• Textures and materials are a huge step up from Fallout 4.

This looks crazy good.

It will be nothing short of a genuine miracle if they can pull this off on base XBO hardware.

The official page on Xbox.com just says Series S|X still.

 

[akimbo009]

Can't wait to go deep on this. Watching the 4K walkthrough now, looks fantastic. Fallout / Elder Scrolls / No man's sky all mashed together? Yes please.

Don't forget Epic.

Game looks amazing. Looks like the sum of it's parts may make this a classic.

 

[Crane]

Did no one hear the great Alien like Music? Love it

 

[Silent Viper]

Looks like No Man's Skyrim, and I'm cool with that

So just coz it has crafting and resources building its no mans sky and space travelling, doesn't mean its no mans sky lool

You never played Bethesda rpg? It has story, dialogues, quests. Full on campaign with characters n all.

 

[Husky]

Floating health bars and center-screen XP popups
Cities!
I hope there are tons of small physics objects. I wanna see the lush planets and wet planets!

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Gameplay/gunplay didn't seem to offer new ideas. Mhhh had imagined to be blown away more.

Hes Trolling. Anyone who says this looks bad is simply a Troll. It looks a good jump better than anything from last gen.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

1000 worlds is massiveeeeeeeee! This game easily gonna take my thousands of hours! And I don't complain!

Day oneeeee!

 

[Stuart360]

I cant help but notice they never once showed you actually taking off or landing the ship on a planet yourself

Well you must be able to land and take off when they said you can explore them 1000 planets.
I mean my expectations for this game that there wouldnt veen be flying in this, and that it would be a cutscene, Mass Effect style.

 

[Lokaum D+]

How can ppl blind believe on everything that Todd says amazes me

 

[jshackles]

From what I've played of No Man's Sky, there's a lot of "land on this planet, scan for and harvest raw materials, investigate mostly empty space" and this seems to tick all of those boxes.

I've played literally every Bethesda RPG. I know what I'm in for here.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

To be fair, that looks pretty good. The environments look stunning. Great job.
Here’s hoping they’ve polished up the animation systems and squashed the majority of the bugs.

 

[Orpheum]

Ooooof. They need to push this back. Looks extremely rough

 

[Silent Viper]

Jesus, sorry i was impressed by what i saw. I'm not the only one.

Bro listen. This being xbox exclusive will receive extreme scrutiny and also hate. So its ok. Pay no attention to it.

Fans of Bethesda RPG knows it's gonna be epic

 

[YukiOnna]

I'm still amazed I could identify gamebryo engine within seconds.

Memes aside, I can explore space so I'm in.

 

[kikkis]

I don't even mind the lack of feedback from guns, but I just don't think hit scan weapons work well without full heath regen.

 

[winjer]

Concern trolling.
I see.
You need to have this as your avatar v so people understand that you are just a whinger and shouldnt take your shit seriously.

Stop calling other people trolls, just because someone doesn't like a game you like.
I've seen you a few times complaining about games, around the forum. So you are no saint.

 

[Jadsey]

I think the game looks waaaay better than I expected. I am genuinely hyped to play it now.

However, it's also the sort of game that call ultimately fall flat with the weight of expectation. Todd said that it had 1000 fully exportable planets where you can land anywhere...better not be bullshitting about this.

I am keeping everything crossed that they really nail it....could be amazing.

ps anyone claiming already that Starfield is 'Game of the Generation', needs to take his clown shoes off, do their homework and go up stairs for sleepy bye-byes.

 

[adamsapple]

So, the little snippet of flight combat we saw in the footage looked pretty ok. Nothing super extra ordinary but it looked like any modern space combat game (eg that recent Star Wars one).

If that is the extent of the "bad" flight, then that's nothing at all ...

 

[Mephisto40]

Well you must be able to land and take off when they said you can explore them 1000 planets.
I mean my expectations for this game that there wouldnt veen be flying in this, and that it would be a cutscene, Mass Effect style.

It is going to be a cutscene for when the ship lands and takes off, I wouldn't expect being able to do this yourself tbh

 

[Black_Stride]

Ooooof. They need to push this back. Looks extremely rough

Push it back from when to where?
