Starfield Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[MadMaxHellfire]

None of the concept art released so far looks distinctive from any other space setting, except for how exceptionally lacking in character it is.

honestly, i'm perfectly fine with this. we already know the vanilla game is going to suck more than jenna jameson, having a clean slate on which to build something vaguely decent with a bunch of hundreds mods it's the best shot we have.

Diverse inside the walls. Homogenous outside?

Sounds like USA, except they got a wall.

Can't imagine how bad it will be inside when it is such a mess outside.

Go to your local gypsy camp and you have your answer.

Actually you will be surprised how clean it is in gypso houses. Poor people do have a lot of pride,also they beat their women if it is clean. But it is dirty outside the houses tho. Also gypsos are very conservative in many regards,don't care about muh freedom and liberalism lol. Also gypso ghettos are cleaner than most kwan cities.

The funny thing is that the lastest news from Star Citizen is that finally backers are slowly realizing that they were bamboozled and the game wont be released after Cloud Imperium developers removed pretty much 75% of the road map claiming people were making too much noise demanding a game that started development in 2011 should show consistent progress while Bethesda, that is one of the most technically incompetent developers of the entire gaming industry managed to release 3 games on that time frame and will release a space game with explorable planets before Chris Roberts.

That will be the best part of the game for sure.

I'm fine with this for completely different reasons. We don't need another game with zany "distinctive" new art direction. Sci-fi doesn't need flashy colors and wild ass architecture to be top tier.

Looks b-o-r-i-n-g. Is actually good.

That's not to say that Starfield will definitely be good because the art design is conservative BUT a conservative art design CAN be a solid backdrop to excellent sci-fi.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

depends on how lame they plan to be. if all they bring to the table are laser rifle, laser axe, laser knife, space dwarf and space elf, they should be beaten to death with a bag full of morrowind boxes but i'd be sort of glad if they can be easily and painlessly swapped out for something better made by modders who won't earn a dime and for this bethesda should be killed until it's dead.

The moral of the story is the ducklings were right from the start.

I wonder if creating Asian-looking characters will be finally possible. In Fallout they look like not!Caucasians (FO3 and NV) or tired Italians (FO4 and FO76). Maybe Starfield will finally break that curse.

Skyrim in Space should be easy. Alien space tombs. Bandit satellite shootouts in zero gravity (just swimming with the water made invisible). Green glass space armor. Space dragons. Space nude mods. It's like everything they're releasing is deliberating boring.

Wouldn't those be potentially the most interesting and original parts ? I mean, read it again: "space nude mods". How often you can say that phrase aloud about any computer game?

Spoiler

To think more about it, and knowing the average player, about more than a few games. Mass Effect probably had more than a few of those, right?

I'm just shitposting, I don't intend to play it at all. Not with "space nude mods" and not without them.

Don't be racist. Tired Italians (Homo fessus Italicus) are people too.

I just hope space chicks will be sexy unlike ass effect uggos.

Words like excellent and sci-fi probably shouldn't be said in a Starfield thread no matter the context. It will all be just a reskinned phantasy, i presume. But, hey, it just works.

Mods.

Yes. It will be glorious!

"Space nude mods", not just any nude mods.

Already looking forward to zero g tiddy physics mods.

I bet its same engine as in Oblivion/Skyrim/Fallout 4 so ugridstoload command will work along many others well known.

 

[jimster]

I'd much rather have a realisticish generic look than The Outer World's artstyle.. TOW was really difficult on the eyes, couldn't imagine it for 100s of hours.

 

[RNGsus]

couldn't imagine it for 100s of hours.

You think you'll have that much time for Starfield and Skyrim?

 

[Outlander]

I saw a spacecrab the other day, horrible creatures!

 

[Alphons]

They don't even have to change this one:

Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh, what am I saying?

 

[likash]

I'm curious if Bethesda stans have learned their lesson after F76 and did not preorder this time around.


PS:Every Bethesda game deserves to be pirated for what they did to the Fallout series.

 

[luj1]

that company died with Morrowind

which is ironic cause Morrowind saved them from bankrupcy

I think the aesthetic is on point.

Good heavens, no. Creativity is borne out of subtlety. Anyone can mash a bunch of crazy ideas together. That's how you get every mediocre anime, comic book, and video game. To make the fanciful seem plausible, one needs to keep things subdued.
