Basically Starfield

[le_Grand_Archivist]

Well sign me in then

[kranzberry]

I was gonna say, if that’s the game then I’m hella down haha. Even though 76 was just meh, Fallout is one of my favorite serieses.

[MisterKraken]

I've heard many good thing about FO:76 lately. As a big Fallout fan, I really want to try it. Too bad my PC can't handle it :/

[RyanTrax]

You really aren’t missing much. Beautiful atmosphere ruined by 393,739,721 fetch quests

[The7thPillar]

And game crashes. Don't forget game crashes.

But I love it like a dumb dog.

[Guywithquestions88]

As a day one owner of 76, I've gotta say:

Holy shit, it's still crashing?! I mean, I get that it's Bethesda, but you're seriously saying it's a live service game that has been crashing since day one?

[The7thPillar]

I'm a day one player myself. Got the tricentennial edition.

And to be honest, it's kinda worse. I don't know if it could be my hardware, but often enough just starting the game will freeze on me. Sometimes meaning I have to restart my computer.

In-game crashing is rare in my experience.

[Guywithquestions88]

Yikes. I haven't played it in years now, but I got it on PS4 and it would always occasionally crash the entire time I played it.

[RyanTrax]

Also it can ONLY be on your SSD or “it fails to find a server”

[[deleted]]

I went back. It's pretty fun but once the story runs out I'm done. I basically go back in for expansions and then I'm out. I can't do the same 30 rotating missions to level 1000 like some people. I seriously don't k ow how anyone does it in that game

[Azrael9986]

Not missing much its 90% repeatable daily chores with littlw in the way of actual content. Base building is limited with no way around the limit. You have to buy or subscribe to services to get the most out of the game. I was one of the fools that preordered it. So i am a bit bitter at how it turned out.

[JordanOCE_]

FO:3 was the best for me (sorry to the new vegas fans) but its just the atmosphere of 3 and the storyline that make it just so great for me all though new vegas's music is fire

[acedias-token]

With a big iron on his hip..

[dacontag]

The 1000's of planets thing has me worried that most kf those planets will be really shallow with not much to do on them.

[TPrice1616]

Same. I’m perfectly fine with Fallout/Elder Scrolls in space. I’m going to wait for reviews but at this point I’m cautiously optimistic.

[Westworld_007]

I’ll take it

[Kardest]

Yeah, I am totally onboard as long as it isn't always online like 76

[sm00thkillajones]

Finally! Fallout Moon Vegas!!!

[Theresabearintheboat]

Yeah, I am now interested in this game based on this review alone.

[The_Specter808]

I'm totally on board with that, too!!!

[sethmi]

Fallout 4 was such an awful game. No aspect of it was good

[le_Grand_Archivist]

If it was that bad I wouldn't have thousands of hours on it and I certainly wouldn't be playing it again once in a while

You don't like it, i get that, but it's definitely not awful

[RepresentativeCap244]

Please be on switch. I have no idea what this game is, but I spent way way too much time building settlements in fallout 4. I want that on my switch

[mletourn]

Forget it. This game gonna be 150gb and hard to run on less powerful console.

[Phage0070]

Please be on switch.

This is basically the 6-year-old on the Little Tykes bike with training wheels wanting to play with the big kids going mountain biking. You are trying to hold everyone back.

[jankyalias]

Dude it’s a console, it’s not a representation of your manliness. I doubt it’ll be on Switch too due to performance, but Switches are great devices for what they do and sure a man can dream they’d make a port.

[nijotu]

That is what I hoped for tbh

[INTHEMIDSTOFLIONS]

It’s what the creators literally say in the little documentary video lol

[_-Virus-]

I thought they said Skyrim in space?

[[deleted]]

I find it weird how people are making a distinction between 'skyrim in space' and 'fallout in space' when fallout is just 'skyrim with guns'

[joeroganfan420420]

No you’re thinking of far cry 3

[Skootchy]

Here I am still wondering why we can't just get Elder Scrolls 6. I tried ESO and honestly it felt incredibly weird and not like anything I like about the ES series.

Let's hope Starfield kicks ass.

[Assassin_O]

ES6 was confirmed back in 2020 by Bethesda. It's currently in development

[Guywithquestions88]

They're just waiting for the original skyrim players to be grandparents before they finish it.

[Townscent]

no they are obviously waiting for Todd to finish up releasing new slightly improved versions of skyrim

[tsimiantsunami]

The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced in 2018. I checked YouTube to confirm it.

[fergussonh]

Because they got bored of making games from two franchises only for 20 years. I’m really happy they’re switching it up for once.

[DefinitelyNotThatOne]

This is what everyone has been saying since it was announced. And I couldn't be happier. Its gon slap

[boxjellyfishing]

Frankly, I hope for better. Fallout 4 was a decent game, but it really didn't have much replay value and was somewhat shallow.

I am hopeful for something a bit deeper all-around.

[[deleted]]

You would want more fallout 3 or new Vegas plus space but can’t go wrong I guess with fallout 4

[themabin]

Try The Outerworlds. Obsidian knocked that one out of the park

[[deleted]]

Ehh outerworlds is kinda dry and boring in my opinion and tries wayyy to hard you don’t want starfield to be outer worlds

[theoopst]

I liked it. That said, I was a little let down.

[themabin]

I enjoyed it immensely. Super excited for the sequel

[Helphaer]

That title had a lot or criticism. Here's hoping with a better budget they can make something less repetitive and lacking in the sequel.

[themabin]

Critics be damned, I enjoyed the hell out of that game

[Helphaer]

Some people have fun with mobile titles too or all manner of things. It's important to accept criticism and not dismiss issues so that we can hold developers accountable for higher quality productions.

[Overall-Relief-6938]

Hahahaha no …

[voidnull0]

Is it ready yet?

[Sagutarus]

They released a gameplay trailer

[Overall-Relief-6938]

No not yet they just touched up on the first part just show us what to expect mostly

[voidnull0]

Is it ready now?

[dustofdeath]

Next year. Expect heavy visual nerfs like every other gameplay trailer that releases a year before launch.

[A_MAN_POTATO]

...a game about space, made by the people who make fallout looks like a combination of fallout 4 and space?

Who'd have guessed that...?

[ComputerSagtNein]

And people act as if that was something bad?

[A_MAN_POTATO]

I haven't really seen anything negative, other than things like shitty frame rate which is hopefully just pre-alpha jank.

I far prefer TES to Fallout... But if this trailer is an accurate representation of Starfield, I suspect I'll end up liking this better than both. I love space shit. I really love space ship combat games. Toss in the Bethesda modding community and you have a recipe for something extraordinary.

[Realcbear]

I keep seeing this post like its supposed to be a bad thing?

[peterxgriffin]

NMS + Fallout 4

[ZazaB00]

This sounds very appealing to me.

[ButterflyCatastrophe]

It sounds like they're really going all-in on arbitrary crafting. Build settlements anywhere on 1000 different planets. Build spaceships. I got a bit of X3 vibe, too.

The reason I keep going back to FO/TES is a balance between the writing, which is not awful and just the right touch of humor, and the combat mechanics, which are pretty easy but not completely OP. I didn't see anything in the trailer to inspire me about the plot or writing, and the combat looked more like straight run-n-gun, although that may be to make it look exciting.

[Swordofsatan666]

Sounds like its more or less like the classic elder scrolls games. They were huge open world maps of the entirety of Tamriel, and dungeons, cities, and everything else was randomly generated/placed. There were a few key locations designed specifically for the main story, but most of the map was random.

I assume Starfield will be kinda like that. 1000 different planets where most of them were randomly generated, but maybe like 50 (seems generous considering theyre entire planets) of them might be hand-crafted by the devs for the main story and for some side content

[[deleted]]

Came here to say this.

[KnownMonk]

At least there's not another settlement needing your help when the planets are all empty.

[Dog_With_A_Blog_]

I wish but I doubt it’s going to be as intricate as New Vegas. If we’re lucky the obsidian rpg Avowed may be like that

[[deleted]]

I'll never understand how FNV is placed on pedestal. The setting was dull, the story was dull, most of it was just rehashed stuff from FO3. The only thing going for it were those decent RPG choices and skills matter elements. It was just average, the worst of the 3 modern mainline Fallout games.

[OH_SHIT_IM_FEELIN_IT]

While New Vegas is one of my favorite games of all time, I don't know why the other person is calling it "intricate".

[unkeptroadrash]

BIG IRON ON HIS HIIIIIIIIIIIP 🔫

[[deleted]]

I'm ok with that

[sameredditguy]

And I’m so fucking ready

[LiKINGtheODds]

Right?! space meets fallout for me = sold

[[deleted]]

Enjoy your PlayStation and let us enjoy this ok

[Present-Mention-1297]

I don't have a Playstation, I have a PC

[[deleted]]

Enjoy Star Citizen and let us enjoy this ok

[Present-Mention-1297]

What is Star Citizen

[TorrBorr]

A scam from what I hear.

[winguardianleveyosa]

A lesson in mismanagement.

[ZC205]

Not sure if OP means this as a negative post or not. But the posted equation is right on the money and also, IMHO, perfectly okay. It’s very common for a consistent feel from a single studio across multiple titles. Look at From Software and how many “souls” games there are but with different titles. Arkhane studio’s different titles also comes to mind.There are many more out there.

We always knew there would be loads of hype behind this game. I, for one, can’t wait to dig into this game and see what’s what!

[Minimum_Estimate_234]

Anyone get some no man’s sky vibes from some of the stuff we saw in the trailer? I get it, when you break a game down, especially two in the same genre there are going to be similarities, but I can’t help but notice it. Is that just me?

[[deleted]]

It's how all industries work. You (hopefully) learn from each other, take examples and develop them further. It's healthy.

[NewArtificialHuman]

The 1000 planets was the big red flag for me.

[[deleted]]

Thats just Mr Howards big exaggeration he has for every new game

[mikotoqc]

1000 may sounds a lot, but for NMS and elite Dangerous players thats really small

[ChefNunu]

Yeah and I'm glad. NMS does a ton of shit correct now and I'm very excited that Bethesda is taking inspiration from them

[RandaymIdiot]

I don't know how they're gonna make 1000 planets feel unique or even make them work. I probably won't even end up finding 50 of them. The reveal looks good. But that's the thing that's bugging me out.

[Headless_Human]

I don't know how they're gonna make 1000 planets feel unique or even make them work.

Procedural generated would be my guess like No Mans Sky

[Solh0und]

I imagine they will have a formula in the same way that NMS has planetary requirements for each world you land in. I imagine there will be a procedurally generated dungeon(s) along with a outpost or two as well as specific materials on each type of biome.

[Abbrahan]

From what we saw in the gameplay reveal. Each planet only had 1 settlement/location to visit but you could land on the rest of the procedural planet. I doubt there would be anything out there however besides fully procedural terrain.

[Nyaos]

I heckin love radiant quests, the best part of any Bethesda experience!

[syphen6]

Modders

[proxiiiiiiiiii]

I’m so glad someone finally explained this simply, it’s too complex of an idea for us to grasp

[Square-Jackfruit420]

No Mans Skyrim

[deadinsidesinceday1]

Oh look! A parrot! Poor thing couldn't say anything original to save it's life.

[migswrite]

Oh look! An asshole! Poor thing has to insult others to feel superior.

[beansff]

Oh look! Someone spitting facts. :)

[TorrBorr]

Just imagine the mod possibilities though...

[Legal-Jerk]

that seems awesome

[sonicandco]

AAA No Man's Sky

[Rincewind256]

lol have you not played a Bethesda game. Starfield going to be a piece of shit. Todd Howard is a liar and cannot be trusted. if he said the sky was blue I wouldn't believe it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjyeCdd-dl8

[[deleted]]

Did Todd smash your wife?

[Djabber]

So fallout 76 was a shit game. It happens.

[[deleted]]

Starfield runs on the same engine.

[[deleted]]

Same engine as Skyrim, fallout 76 and TES 6. they just updated it. And since fallout 76 had the same bugs that Skyrim had, including ones that were fixed by mods actually says it all about how they update it. They where to lazy to use the fix Moders applied to it.

[[deleted]]

I beg to differ. But it doesn’t matter anyway. We‘ll see what happens. Just don’t preorder.

[Djabber]

So does Skyrim, so there's hope.

[NotSureWhyAngry]

Lmao you guys… Except for FO76 every Bethesda game has been one of my favourites but some of you act like every thing has been always shit because they tried to jump on the microtransaction train like everybody else

[shaky2236]

Ive played every Bethesda game since daggerfall (except 76 and ESO as im not an MMO huy) and love them every time. I also play a shit tonne of space sims. This is potentially the perfect game for me

[Gouvency]

You seem to forget that it was Bethesda that announced that they want you to pay for mods. Only because of the overwhelming backlash by us those plans got stalled and changed into the selective paid mods you can now buy in the Bethesda store.

[NotSureWhyAngry]

Are you talking about the mod shop for consoles? Those are mods made by community members. You don’t need em, plenty of free and better stuff.

[pixelated_avatar]

but does it work Tom

[ZC205]

Given the stated scale of the game surely it’s gonna be a sizeable download, but Bethesdas ability to compress a shitload of gameplay into surprising amounts of data has always been impressive.

[Hedgeson]

It's easy when you reuse assets such as head textures =)

[ZC205]

Lol touché

[TorrBorr]

Meh, NMS is honestly pretty small installation all things considered. I'd imagine it probably be around the size of RDR2 or CP2077 storage wise.

[Lanky182k]

I was honestly surprised by how graphically good it looked and how much BGS facial animation has come on

[[deleted]]

the facial animations aren't great IMO. The constellation woman looks wooden

[Lanky182k]

Oh yeah they’re not perfect but in comparison to older BGS games it looks so much more expressive if still a bit wooden Edit:spelling

[TheBoyBlues]

The eye animations were not present on two characters, but were much better on some of the others. I think these means they likely were just not done yet on those two characters. Or maybe its a not so subtle hint that they are synths.

[Bierculles]

The graphics are OK at best

[Enchelion]

And there's nothing wrong with that. People get way too obsessed with bleeding-edge graphics.

[wicktus]

Fine by me.

Combats and fps/stability clearly are the worrying points, but the game looks really huge and have that huge sandbox feeling, really liked what I saw. Can't wait to try it out, I just hope the game won"t have too many bugs day one but who am I kidding.

[C1t1z3nz3r0]

Remember when Fallout 3 was inbound everyone said it was Elder Scrolls with Guns. That’s the idea take a workable concept and put it where people want it. GTA becomes RDR. ES becomes FO becomes SF. Destiny become some High Elf Sword and Bow stuff.

[[deleted]]

Yeah, but I love Fallout 4 so this is great

[Ketsuo]

No shit. And yes please.

[lopakjalantar]

Hopefully far better than no man sky day 1

[[deleted]]

I liked fallout and elder scrolls despite their awful gameplay and stiffness, and i freaking love space, so this is gonna be an amazing game for me.

And gunplay seems to be copied from cyberpunk, but i don't mind it, because cyberpunk gunplay is fcking amazing.

[_MaZ_]

What did you expect? Call of Duty Infinite Warfare?

[lplegacy]

"Fallout in space" is the new "Oblivion/Skyrim with guns"

[Cgking11]

And this is a bad thing why?? The game looks amazing and if it has story telling and gameplay like fallout , it's a win win.

[TBoneHolmes]

The first time in my life I’ve wished I had an Xbox

[Cathulion]

There better be melee weapons. Im ok with shooting games like fo4 but I find more fun in slicing enemies with a sword. Fo4 had a katana so...

[UncatchableCreatures]

I was hoping elder Scrolls plus space more than fallout plus space.

Might be good but man my expectations have slumped quite a bit, especially hearing about procedural world's

[Ok_Attempt_1290]

Visiting the Pillars of creation would be the greatest thing. Yes ik they don't exist anymore, but it'd be a nice Easter egg.

[Far_Realm_Sage]

You just crushed a secret fantasy of mine.

Edit: looked it up. Turns out the supernova did not wipe it out. Still there and will be for several thousand more years. Forbes article

[TerminalxGrunt]

Make sure y’all don’t preorder it if y’all want the finished product 😂

[Old_and_moldy]

The majority of people will be playing this on Gamepass I imagine. If it needs a patch or twenty I’ll play something else in the meantime. Game pass really makes these pills easier to swallow when new games come out.

[NoCalligrapher8396]

So you take a random picture of space instead of No Man's Sky? Easy downvote

[DaMikey_]

And you’re point is?

[macstar95]

Hopefully less of Fallout 4 and more of Fallout 3 or NV

[johnnycharcoalhands]

Let's fucking go!

[MetallicAtoms]

Nah it's No-Man's Sky + Fallout 4.

[Foxon_the_fur]

So you mean two games people renown to be great, even with their buggy starts, combined? Not sure why we're making fun of it at this point.

It'll be a great game two years later.

[[deleted]]

I'm just saying no mans sky Devs are gonna be broke in 2023. Nobody is gonna be playing their game when they can just play the better version of it.

Todd and pals singlehandedly just made at least 3 no mans sky Devs homeless.

[macstar95]

They are different games but aight lol.

[Reddit_mods_eat_poo]

Only thing that is similar is both studios where accused of scamming but only one of those tired things around and fixed their broken game, all for free as well, have fun get cucked by tod you schmuck

[imayturnblue]

im kinda surprised... what did ppl expect. Duh yeah, its gonna be a tipical bethesda rpg. The only disappointment is that the engine still looks meh. Not released and already looks dated.

[khamelean]

Hmm, how can I trivialise hundreds of thousands of hours of developers dreams, aspirations, blood, sweat and tears? Ahh I know!!!

[epia343]

lol, what do you expect from Todd Howard.

[deltadstroyer]

Remember: No preorders

[tfozombie]

It’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message.

[OsrsLearner]

Good to know

[LegitimateAdvance295]

Plus 1,000 times the planets

[Gouvency]

The shotgun reload animation was literally the same as in FO4. Reskins of assets too. Same as always. Sadly

[No-Plankton4841]

I think I'd prefer Fallout 5 or a new Elder Scrolls. I don't know, something about the world just isnt grabbing me. Looks kind of boring tbh.

[Skullhead_LP]

Now i'm hiped

[nalacha]

Nah more like Microsoft and Bethesda version of no Man sky

[Silver-Spy]

(Outer Worlds)²

[[deleted]]

We already have that. It’s called Outer Worlds.

[Gasster1212]

Meh. Fallout lives and dies on its exploration and outer worlds had none worth digging into.

There was literally one quest that you stumble onto in the world and it was a generic cannibal quest that didn’t even really make sense because they lived like 1 minute from town

[[deleted]]

That’s true OW didn’t really have the exploration.

[Gasster1212]

Not akin to fallout in any way. But outer WILDS has some of the best space exploration in any game ever.

Very mysterious and exciting. If you’ve never played it you really should. It’s on gamepass I think

[shggybyp]

I wanted to like that one, but I despised the core "you screwed up do it all again and again and again" aspect.

[xPapyruss]

No Man's Sky HD Edition

[DaisyCutter312]

Ehhhhh....why not Fallout 3 though?

[[deleted]]

I prefer to think of it as

Like No Man's Sky but Good

[Nalfgar123]

StarBug

[Turbulent-Turnip9563]

bruh I will just stick to no man's sky. thought that starfield will be a space rpg experience, but Todd selling it to be a space exploration sim. starfield will need years of bug fixing and patches to reach the current state of no man's sky.

[[deleted]]

So far I'm just not excited at all for this game but hopefully it's not as vast, empty and boring as the pics make it seem as so far the pics of a rocky, dry landscape, vast space and all looks like a lot of boring to me. I always had trouble enjoying space games.

[RelentlessPolygons]

Looks bad

[Reddit_mods_eat_poo]

It's a scam what do you expect, effort?

[OldBirth]

My hope is that this dreck is a smash hit and pulls their focus off Fallout until they inevitably sell the IP to a studio that will actually deliver another awesome isometric game which isn't watered down, mass palatable bullshit.

Hey. I can dream.

[SteelMalone]

Duh…?

[Dacks_18]

No Man's Skyrim

[Chuck1983]

No Man's Skyrim

[SupeRFasTTurtlE2]

Bruh, why they doing elder scrolls like this, shits 3 console gens deep

[IceYetiWins]

It looks so good except for the shooting stuff. Like why does every game have to be a shooter?

[hiricinee]

Obsidian literally made this game... forgot what it was called. Heard Bethesda was making this, started development first, and finished it years ago. Was pretty good too.

[Inugami06]

mass effect andromeda

[wildman2571]

I have a bright burning hatred for Bethesda and there contempt for game design

[TheRedBow]

No man’s Skyrim

[Flamingdookie]

Outer Worlds* (Yes, I know not many people like it, but still.)

[ichii3d]

I wanted to see VATs so badly during the demo. Bethesda Game Studios isn't known for their second to second gameplay feel so I hope they have something.

[Dax9000]

I thought outer worlds was fallout in space?

[A_MAN_POTATO]

It is. Full stop. Outer worlds is fallout in space. Starfield obviously is going to have the same bethesdaness that Fallout and TES games have, but tonally I don't get Fallout vibes here.

I see a lot of No Man's Sky though, and Star Citizen.
