Phil Spencer says Starfield is more like Oblivion than Skyrim

I have no idea how to interpret that statement.. especially coming from a normie boomer like Phil.

Is that good? Are we eating good starchuds.. or is that.... bad? Have we come full circle where Oblivion is now considered ????

The way he talks about it makes it seem like his personal assistant was actually doing the playing and occasionally he barged in demanding to see a savestate directly leading to "some epic badass stuff".

Oh god, what if he's referring to the character generator?

Well it can't be more like Oblivion by retconning an already-established game series' lore like TES since there is no lore in this one yet, so he must mean something else.

Maybe like these inter-dimensional gates open up everywhere?

No, those are totally different. They're Star Gates and they're blue, not red. Idiot.

Have no idea what he means by this, or what he could mean.

The only logical reason that a gamer would have played 1000+ hours of Starfield is due to the addition of sex mods into their game.

They're Fargates. From the makes of Findependence Day.

REMOVE MOTION BLUR!

Also, hard to draw a conclusion with FSR upscaling on, it's kinda meh. Dude should spill the beans without dynamic resolution and everything on Ultra.

This is just embarassing. Should be the motto of Bethesda.

 

[Moink]

Actually worse than I thought it would be. You'd think they would just plop you down in the area around the city/preset location if you tried to land in visual range.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

I love open worlds with empty spaces you need to journey through and navigate. Too bad this is not possible in this game.

 

[just]

so he says if he makes a new landing zone, this one is erased
which means infinite landing zones = infinite points of interest = potentially infinite quests
you will play forever and you will like it

Are you ready for the most Optimized AMD™ Sponsored Title of 2023?

Say: Thank You AMD™ for another FSR© Slop

2011: See that mountain? You can climb it.

2023: Don't see that city? You can't walk to it.

Just open the Oblivion gate and teleport there, grandpa.

I recommend this video to everyone who disables motion blur as a kneejerk reaction, without even knowing exactly what it is (not saying that's you, necessarily).



tl;dw
Motion blur has a bad reputation because it looked terrible in older games. Modern games usually employ more sophisticated per-object and per-pixel motion blur. Unless improperly implemented, this is a good thing and should be enabled for better smoothness and fluidity of movement.

Cyberpunk 2077, for example, has excellent motion blur. You're doing yourself a disservice if you turn it off.
Unfortunately it usually gets lumped together in the options menu with stuff like chromatic aberration and lens flare, which are indeed unnecessary visual artifacts/distortions, and should be disabled.

 

[mediocrepoet]

You can walk across planets a hectare at a time, but you can't actually arrive anywhere. Sounds like the Bethesda-iest title of all time.

 

[FugueLah]

I had low expectations for this game and somehow I am still disappointed.

Consoles ruin yet another great game idea
They didn't learn from Deus Ex Invisible War...

Todd Howard would be the Michelangelo of the medium if weren't for that darn XBox.
