New Starfield Screenshots Give Us Another Look At An Early Build

Starfield is one of the year's most anticipated games. It is exclusive to Xbox and PC and will be available on day one with Xbox Game Pass.

[Jin_Sakai]

This game is launching this holiday and we haven’t see a single ounce of gameplay. Hopefully soon.

[LOGICWINS]

Similar to Halo:Infinite MP, I think Microsoft plans to release the first few hours of Starfield at the end of their June show.

[Jin_Sakai]

Are they still having a show now the E3 is cancelled?

[LOGICWINS]

Just speculation on my end, but I see no reason why they wouldn't have a show sometime this summer. I wonder what MS is giving Geoff to reveal at Summer Games Fest.

[Fishy Fingers]

They said in Novemeber the gameplay reveal will be summer 2022.

This is just a few more shots from the 2018 build.

"This game is launching this holiday and we haven’t see a single ounce of gameplay."

Not surprising at all for Bethesda fans. That´s just Bethesda MO. Look no further than Fallout 4 which official gameplay was revealed less than 5 months before launch.

I like the way MS is now holding on reveal gameplay of their games too soon, after Halo Infinite´s first gameplay fiasco.

[BrainSyphoned]

Forget Fallout 4 not being shown. I'm looking with 16 times the detail at Fallout 76 not being shown.

[moriarty1889]

They said they were going to show gameplay in summer of 22…….I wonder if that is still going to happen and if they have an actual show of their own to replace E3 which has been officially cancelled.

[anubusgold]

Bethesda has always done this when the game is 6 months away they do a reveal .

[Palitera]

Do you really believe the fake release date is the real one?

[Profchaos]

In all fairness Bethesda managed to keep fallout 4 under wraps. It's first anything was at its announcement a few months prior to its launch which it managed to hit without a delay.

I actually thought this would become standard for Bethesda a game announcement at E3 with a release date of that year it was quite a pleasant surprise.

[MADGameR]

Not to sound like a negative Nancy, but it WILL be delayed guarenteed. 6 months away and still nothing relevant.

[Sayai jin]

Bethesda has been known for not showing game play for their new games until around that dates E3 usual dates. So hopefully soon.

[CrimsonWing69]

Why can’t you just show gameplay?

[rakentaja]

You should already know that Bethesda always shows the game 5-6 months before the release...not before.

[anubusgold]

Yep thats how they always do it.

[brewin]

Yeah I really like the way they handle it actually. There's not all this digesting drip feed bits of info for years. They release a couple of bits to build the hype and then blow the cover off 5 to 6 months before the game actually comes out. This is the way.

I am definitely looking forward to this one, one of my most anticipated games this year for sure, especially with Zelda out of the picture.

[Obscure_Observer]

"Why can’t you just show gameplay?"

Because they said back in november 2021 that gameplay will be revealed in summer 2022.

Why can´t you just wait?

[CrimsonWing69]

I know right!? How dare I ask to see some gameplay from a game announced in 2018? The nerve!

[BrainSyphoned]

I can just wait since I don't have to pay anything to play it. Just wondering if I need to schedule time off to play it or time off to burn everything I have Bethesda related.

[S2Killinit]

@BrainSyphoned
You DO know your credit card is being charged right? 😂

[TimmyTesticles]

Only reason would be that it's complete and total burning trash.

They'll just delay it for a decade or so. You don't release a game incapable of showing gameplay.

[Bathyj]

It's an information blowout.

[CaptainHenry916]

Might end up being the most overhyped game this generation

[lelo2play]

Cyberpunk takes the crown for that...

[KeyAppearance]

yep agree, don't think anything
will come close to that anytime soon, everyone I knew was trying to upgrade their PC years ago just to play that game.

[FlavorLav01]

For now…we’re still relatively early into this gen. Surely there will be other big flops.

[badz149]

Cyberpunk was last gen though...

[anubusgold]

No one is going to take that away from cyber punk

[Magog]

You call it an early build but from what I've seen of Fallout 76 these might be representative of the final product.

[MadLad]

Bethesda puts out a game of the year/RPG of the year contender every time they release a title. Sells millions and millions of copies even years after release.

But Fallout 76 sucked, at least at launch, so obviously this will just be the same quality as the one odd man out.

At least I know that's what some people want now they they are only showing up on one console.

[Magog]

Fallout 4 was also hot garbage. Skyrim was decent but not as engrossing as Oblivion. They were a company on decline. Same as Activision. I'm seeing a pattern here.

[HardKnockKid24]

@Magog, you’re definitely lying to yourself or to everyone else about that. It’s funny how many “Bethesda has always been trash” comments are posted these days. Wonder if it has anything to do with MS owning them now. I’m seeing a pattern here.

[SurgicalMenace]

Skyrim was truly their only great success, being that they've been giving it the old GTA treatment since 2011. I personally enjoyed Morrowind over anything after it. Oblivion was popular since it was released on 360 during its initial run, while Skyrim showed how aged the engine was with stale combat, ugly graphics, and limited animations. Fallout 3 has been the only game I've been willing to play until completion and I've given Skyrim a try on everything besides the Switch to win me over, to no avail.

That said, it doesn't bode well that the most successful outing that Bethesda's had was released in 2011. I'm actually hoping Starfield can produce something worth paying for on my SX. At this point I've got absolutely no reason to justify owning one. I can't play features nor is GP remotely appealing.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. XD

What does that show? Why is early footage even remotely acceptable after 4 years of development. I guess one can arrive at the notion that they're teasing players, but early renders do little to satisfy expectations. MS needs to start creating excitement over hype, I really don't want another console to a waste of money.

[Aloymetal]

They're called Bugthesda for a reason.

[John_McClane]

You should really charge Xbox something, instead of letting them live in your mind rent free.

[Aloymetal]

@John
I have lord Phil aka "The Messiah" on speed dial.

[brewin]

76 was an experiment to put a multiplayer spin on Fallout. I never cared for MMO type of games so I didn't buy into that one at all from the start. This is nothing like that this is a straight up single player RPG. That right there is Bethesda's bread and butter and they've been putting a ton of money time and effort into this game. It's been a development for a long time too, where is they made 76 in what like a year and a half 2 years after Fallout 4?! Don't be dramatic.

[SinisterKieran]

these screens aren't really worth anything, too early to get any sense from them.
i think we'll see gameplay soon tbh

[HardKnockKid24]

Excited to see what’s shown here having been a BGS fan since the original Morrowind. I AM worried about how combat and ‘space’ will be approached but let’s see! I knew I would love Skyrim at its unveiling and new I would hate 76, waiting patiently on that gp reveal.

[Urrakia34]

Looking forward to seeing more of this game soon but I'm starting to get a sense that there's no way this game will ship in an acceptable state if launched as scheduled later this year. Call it a "gut feeling" but recent big release debacles don't inspire confidence and are part of a seemingly growing pattern.

[moriarty1889]

So is MS going to have a show of their own in place of E3? I am guessing if they do that is when they would show this. Anyone know?

[jonivtec]

I dont want to be pessimist.....i cant remember a game that have been so long hidden from public before launch, havent been delayed or completly been broken on launch....I want the game to be good but it smell cyberpunk ....

[Thegr81]

You could be right but if you’ve followed Bethesda games they’ve done it exactly like this for Skyrim, fallout 4, and the crappy fallout 76. So it’s not like it’s never been done before. Like it or not this is their style.

[anast]

Old screenshots...this is how you hype a game...

[S2Killinit]

That looks kind of bland.

[SpineSaw]

Starfield has a Nov 2022 release date so why not so a more polished this game is about ready to release build? And I still don't get why this is the only Xbox First Party game that they won't to show or talk about now surely Microsoft has at least 2 or 3 First Party games BTW that will "available on day one with Xbox Game Pass" releasing over this Summer or early Fall it makes no since.

[derek]

This is going to be an epic disaster mark my words. Think halo infinite, a game that took forever to make and is still woefully incomplete several months after its release. They'll fit in with the Microsoft perfectly being that Microsoft is the worse publisher in gaming by far in moving from concept to an actual quality game to play.

[unjust75]

This game will not live up to the hype. I said it!
