Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Starfield xbox series Gameplay leaked

They really could do it in more creative way by giving some in-universe explanations like "your oxygen reserves are getting low," or "this area is highly irradiated" or hundred other sci-fi reasons. Instead they went for this basic "boundary reached" shit.

Hasn't it been confirmed to be the tutorial area, so it has boundary limits?

Meh, the boundary is a small matter. Apparently you need to walk in a straight line for like 40 mins to trigger the boundary for the planet. Most people who play aren't doing that shit lol
Pete Hines full of shit again

1000 planets
with only a tiny spot to be explored on each
Actually 40 minutes of walking in a straight line, and if you want you can land on other spots and do the same if you so please.
Skyrim takes about 20 minutes to walk from one end of the map to the other.
I agree, it's not that big of a deal, but if I'm spending 40 minutes walking and you randomly stopping me from walking further then give me better reason other than "you can't go further because we say so". Just give me something to suspend my disbelief.

Is this from gamescom?
Am still hoping that the above is just a build thing to stop players going to places they ain't ment to in there 10 mins play through.
As that's some PR shenanigans if we can't explore the whole planet as was implied. (As he was clearly asked if we could land an explore)
Edit:
Seems we can't
that explains why there are no land vehicles.Just released, that means space will have a limit also
(not counting the solar system boundary)

I agree, it's a lazy solution. Just give a warning that your oxygen supply is running low or something that's grounded.

Oooh, concerned members of GAF are going hard now. Probably haven't walked longer than 5 minutes IRL in their lives

15:18-15:30
Player sets his own destination to land...but then decides to chose a predetermined one.
As for the walking across the planet. I don't have proof, only the knowledge that it is technically possible in other games and the hope that Bethesda did it and are not lying about it
So anyways... what did we learn today?
this was so obvious from the gameplay they showed and knowing the limits of the engine. It was always going to be a bunch of predetermined spaces. Come on guys, you seriously didn't believe the PR speak fuck, you have too look thrown thier BS sometimes.

You can still explore the entire planet if you land in a different zone. You CAN land anywhere on a planet.
You can technically 'walk' the entire planet, just not seamlessly.
Dont forget there are multiple biomes on a planet and multiple zones with different resources. So it would make sense you would reland on a different spot.
Nevermind the fact that it takes 40 minutes to walk in one direction before you get that message, and Skyrim takes 20 minutes to walk from one edge of the map to the other.
That video you posted is evidence of the fact you can land anywhere on the planet you want.

So it seems that when user lands his aircraft on planet it marks this landing spot as middle of player's playable area. That means this technological problems boils down to coordinates precision. Get too far from the middle and things start to get wonky.

so you admit that it was PR speak. Especially when you phrase it as "Technically"

You can walk the entire planet in Starfield too. No man Sky is not a rpg.
Just saying.

Well like I said you have a space of twice the size of Skyrim to walk around in. You can land in a different spot/biome on the same planet.
Sure, but like I said you CAN land where you want, and you CAN explore twice the size of Skyrim in that one cell.
If you want you can land in every cell on the planet. Different biomes etc.
No Man Sky doesnt have actual quests, factions, character creator, companions, romancable npc's, the agency to tackle every mission every way you want, hundreds of different interesting POI's, loads of weapons, items, armors, skilltrees, dialogue trees, explorable cities..
This isnt a space simulator, its a full fledged single player rpg.

Does No Man Sky even let you stop in the atmosphere of a planett when entering? I can't remember, it's been way too long since I played. Plus NMS doesn't even have decent combat mechanics, again from what I recall.

I havent played NMS since launch window, but I dont think you can 'stop' the ship while going through the clouds in the atmosphere.
Either way, I think its disengenous to compare the game to NMS either way as they focus on totally different things and offer a vastly different experience.

Creation Engine showing its limitations here, but still fine as they're huge areas.
It's not like your hopping back into your ship ever 5 minutes.

Just for clarity, yes you can. You could even build a base in the air and land on it in the clouds.

But can you swim?
With all the reports of the final game not being the bugfest the some folks have been heralding for months, some have to find creative ways to show concern.
So basically you can explore every inch of the planet if you want.

can the 30 min limit for exploration be extended?

The 1st half of that sounds fucking terrible. Wtf.
Video shows freely flying from planet to planet in a system and not just fast travelling like some concerned "leakers" are saying.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
There has to be some zone boundary right ? Like how most worlds have mountains etc

It would of benefited of having the option for designing ground vehicles imo . Walking around could get tedious .

As far as Im aware there isnt any time limit whatsoever. You must have read the post wrong, he says its about 30 minutes (but we've heard 40) in one direction

I mean even walking for 30 minutes straight that's a huge circle to explore before having to move your ship and do it again
It may sound a little tedious but some concerned people seem to think it's the end of the game.
Its a nothingburger for me personally

Completely agree. I was wondering why we haven't seen the player using vehicles on planet. I'm still excited, but if this is true, my hype is deflated quite a bit.
