The official Starfield Twitter account uploaded a developer diary today, providing an update on what we can expect out of Starfield. It seems like Bethesda is going for "more is better" here, which could be a cause for concern. This is more than twice the amount of dialogue seen in Skyrim. We don't know much about Starfield's story, but it's been recently revealed that the game has over 150,000 lines of dialogue. This number is overwhelming for many of us, but at least it's not as huge as No Man's Sky. Todd Howard ends the conference with a brief showcase of how exactly space travel works, and how every planet in over 100 solar systems have fully explorable planets. And of course, the player can fly their ships and will have to engage with space battles. You can even build your own space ships, select crew members, customizing the look and layout. Outposts will also be available, allowing the player to completely create their own little colony on a planet. Later in the demonstration, Starfield shows off how its character creation works, and not just aesthetically, but also how the different perks and stat boosts can impact your gameplay. The gunplay seemed underwhelming, but this isn't much of a surprise for a Bethesda developed title, as the company's combat systems never seemed to be a selling point. We also saw some footage of a bunch of NPCs the player can interact with, the factions that will be available, and many of the environments we can expect (especially the cities). Shortly afterwards, the player runs around a facility overwhelmed with pirates, using strange space-guns to defeat them. Players can swap between first and third-person as they explore and shoot some space rocks for minerals. At some point, we see a weird bug-like alien lifeform scurry past the player, which hopefully indicates each planet will feature unique lifeforms. Our setting is in the year 2330, which seems like more than enough time for humanity to get off its butt and advance this far technologically. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can play it on the launch date on both platforms.Todd Howard introduced the mysterious moon, Kreet, which takes place early in the game.
STARFIELD PC PC
Starfield will be available to play on Xbox Series S|X and PC sometime in 2023. There is a multitude of personality traits, stats and cosmetic assets one can choose from- essentially an amalgamation of elements found in previous Bethesda titles. Bethesda claims that it has one of the most elaborate character customization screens ever developed. One can also construct entire colonies on certain planets and use them as bases for further exploration.Īs a successor to the likes of Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, Starfield needs to fulfill some astronomically high expectations. Some high-octane space battles were showcased, too. The game lets players build ships up from scratch with a myriad of customization options. Starfield also takes cues from other space-themed titles, such as Eve Online and Star Citizen. Resource gathering appears to be a key gameplay element, as well. The open world's scope opens up further thanks to the fact that one can explore different areas on each individual planet. There are over 100 star systems with over 1,000 planets that players can visit on a whim. Right off the bat, it is clear that Starfield took more than just a few pages off No Man's Sky, starting with the massive scale of the game. None other than Todd Howard himself took the stage to walk players through the intricacies offered by Bethesda's most ambitious RPG to date, of which there seem to be many. While it is a tad disappointing that Starfield's launch date got pushed back to 2023, the newest gameplay trailer revealed at Summer Games Fest indicates that it will be well worth the wait.
