Starfield is an upcoming action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It was announced during Bethesda's E3 presentation in 2018. The game takes place in a space-themed setting, and is the first new intellectual property developed by Bethesda in 29 years. It is set to release for Windows and Xbox Series X/S on September 6, 2023.
Starfield is an action role-playing video game. Players can switch between a first-person and third-person perspective any time in the game. Starfield features an open world in the form of an area within the Milky Way galaxy, containing both fictional and non-fictional planetary systems, with players being able to land on more than 1,000 planets and an unspecified number of moons and space stations. The majority of the landscapes within the game were procedurally generated; they were subsequently modified and handcrafted content was developed around them. The game will generate the terrain and the alien flora and fauna of a planet depending on the star of its system and its atmosphere, as well as locations of interest as the player approaches a planet. The largest city in the game, New Atlantis, is the largest fictional city Bethesda has developed. As the player explores the game world, they will encounter various non-playable characters (NPCs), some of whom may join the player's crew. Such NPCs may aid the player in combat, carry items, or during confrontations, speak to other NPCs on the player's behalf. Some may comment on choices the player makes. The player may station crew members at any of their constructed outposts. Each companion character has their own unique skills and abilities. Some recruitable NPCs are able to be romanced by the player.

I was never that excited about the whole “exploring 1000 planets” thing because unless you handcraft each individual planet, the procedurally generated stuff will eventually get incredibly repetitive very quickly.

@harrypike731
@harrypike731 Год назад
Agree, but BGS games never had, nor did they need, fantastic main narratives. They aren't Naughty Dog, and it isn't their games' primary focus. That primary focus is on exploration, and genuine 'roleplay' open world elements. Trouble is, you can't have a subpar narrative experience *and* a subpar open-world/exploratory experience, which seems to be the case here. Indeed, the explorational elements seem to be hampered in Starfield even compared to the likes of Skyrim (BGS' last genuinely great game IMO).

Sadly Bethesda stopped making RPG's long ago already, most of their games have just RPG elements slapped on, which come down to stats changing items at best, choices in dialogues with actual consequences tho, not to be found, rarely at best sadly but not a main thing that you know, makes an RPG. I like Elder Scrolls, Oblivion more than Skyrim to some degree even, but their games are always average, what keeps them going is the modding community, something Bethesda by now fully relies on. And that is what will break their back soon, because Modders might rather start making an own game then having to keep fixing their mess.

Yes but it somewhat makes sense in Starfield. IRL if you were landing on random (unexplored) planets all the time then you would likely land in a different spot everytime until you setup a base camp or something. It is a bit annoying tho when it’s even like that outside of inhabited cities. That’s probably my biggest complaint about the game, Much of the procedurally generated content and lack of maps even in explored cities like New Atlantis. Honestly I’m happy they did procedural generation because that’s probably the only reason this game is already out, Meaning they’ll have more time to make ES6. I really hope they don’t use procedural generation on ES6 tho, I’ll be so disappointed if this becomes their new go to lol

Procedural generation is often used as a substitute for good, honest, hard work. It's something that can be used to dazzle shareholders or higher-ups who don't understand game dev on a more technical level or from the player's perspective. It CAN be a great tool, but Starfield is a good example of it being used as a crutch. Procedural generation needs more effort than they put into it.

The goal for this genre should be "Semi-procedural baking". Extensive procedural generation with thousands of creatively premade modular assets is the way you populate a 10,000 Km^2 world and then manually chart a bunch of quests and biomes and objectives through it, before baking it into a finished world. You don't have to make it larger than Daggerfall, but you do have to make it a lot larger than Skyrim. A Starfield 'world' appears to be, if anything, much smaller than Skyrim and less handcrafted than Daggerfall. Maybe the fact that there are a thousand of them makes up for that? But not on the 'exploration' fetish that a lot of us Bethesda gamers possess.

I've gone back and forth on this game a few times. I started out excited, the opening sequenced looked good, the facial animations were believable, the dialogue seemed promising and New Atlantis looked pretty cool. But that turned into deep disappointment when I realized how the space traversal and planet generation works. Eventually I accepted that it is what it is and started to approach the game on it's own terms and wow, I began having a pretty good time. The writing, the choices and roleplay options, the way side quests are integrated believably into the world, the combat, it's all the best that Bethesda's ever done. I was really impressed. But then I played more and that initial impression wore off and I realized that even IF this is Bethesda's best work, they're still lagging behind their peers substantially. A lot of that excitement was around the idea of what I thought Starfield would be able to accomplish, but it didn't live up to that. The cracks started showing and I don't mean bugs, I just mean that, well... for example, New Atlantis is the biggest and (imo) the best designed city Bethesda has ever made. And it's impressive, but it's also immediately apparent how the scale of New Atlantis is mostly an illusion and an unconvincing one at that. It takes like, manual suspension of disbelief, way too much I think, to buy into the idea that New Atlantis or Akila City and especially Neon are really cities. This apparently massive, jewel of humanity is just three towers. The capitol of the Freestar Collective can be walked across in half a minute. The bustling cyberpunk metropolis of Neon is almost literally just one short street. And the game is filled with stuff like that, from location design to quest design and the way relationships and stories progress with both companions and quest givers. When you go to join the vanguard you're immediately accepted and put through orientation, and when you're in orientation there's just... no one there but you. It's empty. Quest giving strangers just immediately trust you with very important information and tasks and you almost instantly become pivotal to their goals. For the most part, nothing you do has any real consequence outside of quest completion. You kill people, you take down conspiracies, you do this and that and the world doesn't feel like it progresses. It's just the same as it was before the quest began. It all takes a little too much suspension of disbelief. A lot of it's just not believable. And what initially feels like deep gameplay systems is revealed to be very shallow. Ship building is almost entirely cosmetic. Crafting things to sell is not a good way to make money and the system itself is clunky and cumbersome. Piracy is not a good way to make money, even if it is cool. Smuggling is not a good way to make money nor is it very in depth. The activity is just a dice roll and one that can be completely avoided by just going to the buyer in the Den. Mission boards and bounties don't offer much reward. The game throws credits at you for completing quests and so all of these already bare bones systems are made mostly useless. And worst of all that iconic Bethesda exploration has been gutted. The game is mostly centered around sort of mid for modern standards quests and building cool looking stuff. That's cool but I guess I just expect more nowadays. That's my problem with Bethesda and Starfield in general. The times have changed and what was impressive and revolutionary back when Fo3, Oblivion, and Skyrim came out is mundane now but Bethesda won't ever progress. They just do bigger versions of what they've done in the past and that doesn't compel me anymore. When they try and do something new it mostly falls flat. Part of the charm to earlier Bethesda games was the vision or ideals that they reached for. That "being who you wanna be and living in a breathing world." They never really captured that perfectly but fuck, it was really nice to at least play a game that tried. But after years and years of them making these attempts and falling short I think I'm just done. I'll probably swing back around in a few days and appreciate the game for what it is but I don't think I'll ever expect Bethesda to release something boundary pushing or innovative. Every game they've made since (and to a smaller extent including) Skyrim has been frustratingly flawed and fallen short of the marketing promises.

Very well written. I lost my interest in the first 2-3 hours - 1. The mission designed seemed dated. Like spending way too long during missions to search for useless loot, carrying 10 guns and 3 suits and not showing it on your body - playing the overencumbered game. Ultimately going from point A to B in the longest time possible with no immersion. 2. The NPCs in the first 'city' were so dead and boring. Like Skyrim villages were alive with 10-15 people, and all of them had unique dialogues, though repeated to a pulp. But they felt alive. They were doing tasks or sitting in the bar. The 500 NPCs here just stare blankly at you. The AI is zero. This is not a 2023 game. 3. The space and map exploration was shoddy. Freedom of exploration is looking at that mountain in the distance and making that journey for it, expecting dangerous creatures on the way. Skyrim made me immersed. RDR2 made me too. But this is not an interesting exploration game.

The ship and base building mechanics are essentially the same as the settlement building feature in FO4. It's for the joy of building your player home and seeing what you can build with it.

Bethesda sends out free/review copies or gives media access selectively, they decide who gets it. That's why pre-release reviews are always much more positive than actual player feedback, they are just artificially skewed towards being positive. Do a negative preview for Bethesda, and you don't get access next time. And it's not just Bethesda of course.

Very honest review. I have not played this game yet. I know, based on Skyrim and Fallout 4, that this game will take a lot of time to get from good to very good or even excellent ... when will that happen ? When MODS starts kicking in. When does MODS will be available ? I estimate between 3-12 months before we can get console commands and good mods. Up to date, there are not a single game that is completely polished out of the box. All of them are bugged, all of them require to be patched up and Bethesda's games are very bugged out of the box. 1000 planets ? When I saw that, I could not comprehend how would they do that. Something was telling me that was a lie. Can you imagine ( from programming standpoint ) to fill out 1000 different planets that you can explore from A to Z ? Impossible. IMHO, it would have been better to only give us access to 20 well made planets that we could explore from A to Z rather than 1000 unfinished planets. So far this game is coming down to : build your own ship, build your own house, do some side quests, do the main quest to a certain point and unfortunately, explore those planets and look for resources. Again, too much marketing from Bethesda left me with a serious doubt about how polished this game would be from the very beginning. Simply, we should not believe them and period. And once more, this game will be very good once the modding community start creating those mods that will enhance and make this game much better than it is now. Same thing happened with Skyrim and Fallout 4. Without mods, they are dead. Bethesda created too much expectations about this game that obviously we will frustrated with the amount of bugs and the the "free exploration" they sold to us in too many interviews. I hope that sooner than later, those absolutely necessary MODS start to kick in so we can have a better experience with this game.

Frankly, him saying that Starfield is the best BGS game they’ve made is a pretty good reason to play it imo. I enjoyed many of their other games so that’s a good sign. I’m not necessarily a fanboy, just someone who doesn’t mind it when a game isn’t absolutely perfect. I still love Skyrim but I acknowledge that it has its problems. I’m imagining the same will be true for Starfield. P.s not an attack in any way, just offering my perspective :)

The problem is that Bethesda gives you the ship, the customization of it, the combat in space and the trailers of a ship traveling through space as if exploration were a fundamental element in Starfield.

@mangaas
@mangaas Год назад
The problem with No mans Sky is the inverse of this game.... NMS actually gives you all the planets, true planets, and exploration... its just that there's nothing to actually enjoy or immerse yourself in, there is just 1 space station copy and pasted in No Mans Sky until you reach a pirate system, and talking to NPC's in NMS is pointless, the main "Story line" is just s drawn out tutorial. Now, if you had characters, dialogue, missions and story from Starfield / Bethesda game, thrown into the fundementals of No Mans Sky, you'd have a much more complete and full-filling game. If Todd Howard wanted to do some actual space exploration, and not just make The Outer Worlds 2.0, he needed to look at games like Rebel Galaxy 2 for how to implement space combat and traveling. You have lots of fast traveling sure, but your ship can actually boost around star systems, without needing hard lock load screens. As is, Star Fields "space combat" is a mini game you're forced into a few times as you jump between loads screens in your fast traveling across the star systems and planets.

Your experience with that bandit-mine made me realize... If I was designing a game with procedural elements like this, I would've put in place a system that tracks which dungeons you've already seen, and stops them from generating again. Then I'd take the assets used to make those dungeons and create 20 different dungeons. Give each of these a single unique asset like the alien dinosaur skull, and use classic Bathesda-style logs and environmental storytelling to tell a small story based on that asset. Basically, do what Bathesda ALREADY did for the many interchangeable dungeons of Skyrim and Fallout, only now they're LITERALLY interchangeable because no two players will find them on the same planet. Yes, it would mean everything would have to be smaller because you couldn't pad things out by reusing the same bandit-mine, but it would ALSO mean that SINGLE bandit-mine would be a more memorable and fun experience then fighting through the same meaningless location 3 times over.

My main issue is space flight is basically all fast travel :/ I would have loved to at least fly between planets manually in a system using an FTL drive, akin to elite. So many loading screens as well, that could have been avoided using transitional animations to load assets while keeping immersion

It’s a space rpg game where space is made up of loading screens and you can’t even fly your ships in the planet atmosphere… Then why tf is the game even about space if the main thing you do in space isn’t an actual feature??? (I mean traveling between planets) This is one of the biggest disappointments in Starfield for me
@rasmag8899

A lot of this actually hits onto my feelings right now. I am playing thrtouhg the game and I have experienced a lot of the same fustrations. It's definitely a bethesda game. It's defintely really painful. It's 'fun' in the sense to do some minor exploring but it feels like, sadly, a lesser version of Skyrim. Where in skyrim i could literally pick a direction and walk and trip over somethign. THis is just "Menu menu load screen. Menu menu dialogue menu load screen walk. shoot. back to menu loadscreen." :/ and it gets really tedious

Combat is fun. Ship building is excellent even if it's BURIED under skills, making outpost and ship progression heinously slow. I keep hearing people sat Mods will fix this, mods will fix that.

Late game bugs exist because QA functionality testers are simply not able to reach the late game before being handed a new version of the game to start from scratch again. I know that when I worked in QA that I'd constantly be handed new versions, sometimes every shift, and I'd simply never reach the late game because it's physically impossible to sink that much time into a game in a single shift at work.

@dealloc Год назад
Any game should have the tooling to reproduce and go to specific points in the game for QA, otherwise you're wasting too much time on development and you're missing a lot of potential issues. If not also having a testbed to automate end-to-end tests that are written either by QA testers, or alike when bugs and requirements are found. What you're describing isn't QA, it's more alike play testing.
@npcknuckles5887
@npcknuckles5887 Год назад
​@@dealloc I've done tests where you have to organically unlock certain things, just to verify that the end user can and will unlock them. Sure, you can just run a command to unlock it, or automate something to unlock it, but it's only really a valid test if you can do it organically as if you're an end user yourself. You can do something non-organically (eg. teleport yourself to the end, or run some command that auto-completes quests), but it'll never be a substitute for doing it organically yourself, from scratch. You might unlock something just fine via command, but then you go to unlock it organically and it doesn't unlock for some reason.

@@npcknuckles5887 "Organic" gameplay is mostly caught during play testing. QA is specifically looking for regressions, making sure that things don't break between changes for each rollout. This is often helped with automation, but the point is that the same things are tested for each new release. QA may do play testing in between QA sessions, but they're different things with different processes and goals.

As a 50 Yr old gamer, you could fly real time into a space station in the original wire frame vector 'elite' from 1984 on my 'bbc model b' home computer. That file size was about 50 kilobytes. Remember a 1000kb is 1mb and 1000mb is 1gb. So they could have done it.

2:15 - Nah, this is just a classic style of RPG dialogue camera. It goes back to 90s RPGs like the clay heads in the original Fallout. Troika also used it in their first 3D RPG, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. It isn't broken, so there's no reason to fix it. The "cinematic" camera was possible for FO4 because you had a voiced protagonist, which is something that can f*** right off from modern RPGs as far as I'm concerned. Not everything has to be a movie. Save that for action-adventure games. The silent protagonist is the best way to handle player dialogue in an RPG, and I will fight people over that.
