Starfield’s latest tease shows that Bethesda is embracing its fantasy roots

On the one hand, their space bound epic depicts a realistic sci-fi future. On the other, it’s got a big swirly thing in it.

im so excited for this game, i just love the soundtracks and love it when games give you the freedom of exploring and costumization,also im a big nerd of having so many ways to build my character, it gives me feel like not everyone had my same experience and i can replay the game and have a different approach, you may laugh at me but i really dont like cinematic games where i have to do what devs want me to do they make me feel like i can just watch the game on youtube and finish the game watching because i can do the same thing (this is why games like unchearted always was a hard swallow for me)

EvertonFC789d ago

I like both cinematic and open world tbh. I have a mate who literally ONLY plays Skyrim as he says the other games are rinse and repeat.
I've said to him after so many years (7000 hrs) surely Skyrim is boring now too ?

onisama789d ago

bathesda games are nearly timeless thanks to the modding community i remembet spending lot of times adding spells AIs quests graphic improvement and experimenting with funny mods ...till date mods are dropping daily on Nexus which is crazy !!! i dont blame your friend for spending 7000 hrs as long as he enjoy the game, starfield will mostly get the same treatment and built to support modding community (over 1000 planets to explore its clearly them inviting modders to create their continents and contents)
this is why i will wait 4 months after release to start the game as i always like to add weapons that fit with the world and are balanced also anything that improve the exploration and some cosmetics that fit

and after finishing the game i can start adding mods with those sweet star war mass effect start trek..mods and go crazy

Lightning77789d ago

"I like both cinematic and open world tbh."

Isn't that what Suicide Squad and the Avengers games tried to achieve? Open world and cinematic?

The3faces789d ago

Exactly 💯. Starfield is gonna be epic can't wait!

onisama789d ago

all those blue fans downvoting you for being exited for a game is just pure N4G

isarai789d ago

@onisama

Pretty sure he's down voted because his take on linear games is dumb.

S2Killinit789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

@onisama
You mean fans who used to be able to play a game like this but now can’t because MS pulled a shit move? Yeah, those fans are not fans anymore. So don't expect them not to downvote.

That aside, I personally don't think what they’ve shown has been all that great. A lot of smoke and mirror so far.

Obscure_Observer789d ago

"Starfield is gonna be epic can't wait!"

Me and you both!

So many planets to explore, places to discover, stories to be told, many secrets and mysteries to uncover, ancient and future technology to find, enemies to fight, factions to join, "people" to met, friends to make, things to learn, places to live, beautiful vistas to behold... the possibilities are endless.

Hopefully Bethesda will deliver the ultimate Sci-Fi experience in videogames for us.

Pickledpepper789d ago

@S2Killinit
So was it a sh*t move when Sony brought out naught dog? And kept all games from other platforms.
No one is stopping anyone from playing any game but the fan boys themselves.
I prefer xbox over playstation but I own both because I like some of the games on playstation.

onisama789d ago

@s2killinit
Bro your comment is so..... Hypocrite... I know you know they know.. Sony took lot of studios that was 3rd party and takes lot of 3rd party games as exclsuives including iconic IPs (spiderman, FF, silent hill, SFV...)

This is a new IP and this is just a little of sony own medicines

Lightning77789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

"You mean fans who used to be able to play a game like this but now can’t because MS pulled a shit move? "

But everything is good in the neighborhood when Sony keeps games to themselves through 3rd party games that are said to be "Timed" but instead stay on PS? If MS never bought Bethesda the game would of been "timed" on PS because they wanted this game only on PS5. Trust me you and your fanboy friends would be happy and dancing in the streets if that happened. That or you'll fiercely justify why it's good to have it only on PS.

Tired of the hypocrisy of Sony fans every single second of the day.

onisama789d ago

@lightning77

Count me in! Actually its not sony that pi** me off, neither reasonable fans
But some fanboys are just from another multiverse, if sony screwed other platforms they say how good for gamers is this and for devs but if other does it its HARAM and bad, but even more is defending anticonsumer acts! This were i beleive ps fans are under some illusion? You say like what (making 70$ a standard + 70$ remasters + increase console prices+ no backeard compatibility which is funny as xbox series s runs emulators of ps1 and 2... Charging for ps4 games to be working on ps5 as next gen upgrade.....) corporation does what they need to do and thats investing, higher profit, lower costs
I swear im willing to sale my xbox right now if PS give me better deal on ps plus (not 20$/month for old games)

Charlieboy333789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

@Pickledpepper Ummmmm so what games were Naughty Dog making for Xbox that you all lost when Sony bought them? Oh that's right, NONE.

Xbox lost sweet fuckall. Did you hear Playstation gamers bitch when Microsoft bought Playground Games? NO....do you know why? Because Playstation players also lost sweet fuckall because they were making Xbox only games anyway.

What games were Bethesda making before Microsoft bought them, that are now lost to Playstation when they would have been on Playstation before? ALL OF THEM.

Do you see the difference? Are you able to? Can you try really really hard to think about it for one second?

shinoff2183789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

Pickledpepper

One naughty dog was a studio. I'm also sure they never ever made a game for another system before Sony even bought them. Nice try though. Ms bought multiplatform publishers. Sony buying naughty dog didn't take any games off ms table. Where's the bethsada deal definitely did

Onisama u ou must be extremely young.

There's a place for linear and open world games. I like both. JusT depends on what im in the mood for. Your close minded well simply cause ms can't touch Sony on really the game side of things hence the reason to buy multiplatform publihers.

Despite all that closer to starfields release I'll get an x and be enjoying starfield right there with ya.

Gamer75789d ago

In your comment where you said that you don't think that ND made any games for other systems before they were brought by Sony you are incorrect as they were known as JAM Software and made games for Apple II, DOS, Amiga, Atari ST, Sega Mega Drive & Genesis.
Their first game for PS was 1996 .

onisama788d ago

Yeah extremely young in my 30s, actually the young folks are attached to linear games more and cinematic games with lot of cutscene and minimum gameplay freedom...
Actually only grow ups are into RPG and RTS genre

seanpitt23789d ago

It's a shame it's not coming to playstation but it's not enough for me to buy an Xbox if Microsoft had 3 or 4 games of this stature I might be tempted or even get an PC

ZeroX9876789d ago

Cheapest option would be to play it via xcloud if you have a great internet speed. I've been able to enjoy some of MS titles for an extremely low price without the need for an xbox since they added the Xcloud option.

jznrpg789d ago

Maybe at the end of the gen there will be . Maybe . Redfall looks very passable . Indiana Jones maybe ? Not much else I can think of that they are offering that’s noteworthy . You could say ES6 in however many years that might be next gen and maybe Hellblade 2 but they have a long way to go from the first one especially combat wise . The first one Looked pretty story was interesting combat was below average .

Snookies12789d ago

There's Fable 4 and Perfect Dark as well, although we haven't seen anything on those... I really hope they turn out well... Always loved the concept of Fable, and found them to be fun games. Despite the fact that they never really lived up to their potential. Perfect Dark was one of the greatest FPS ever made. Fingers crossed they don't screw it up!

shinoff2183789d ago

Starfield is it for me. Fallout if it makes this Gen which I feel it has to. Some sci fi rpg from obsidian or inxile but yea mostly starfield at this point. State of decay 3 would be dope. That's about it. Kind of a wait and see on the 3rd party exclusives deals they got cause I prefer physical I'd just buy them on my ps.

Fallout 4 on Switch 2 seems inevitable, but what about Starfield?

A Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 port seems like an inevitability, but what about other Bethesda RPGs like Starfield.

I think all games will end up on switch from Xbox. MS has embraced going to other platforms now if games aren't doing well on Nintendo MS may be more selective in the future

On playstation they have been quite successful

anast30d ago

I'm not sure too many people want to play Starfield.

Profchaos30d ago

Phils all but confirmed they are going in hard with the switch 2

TheColbertinator30d ago

All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.

i believe that 100%

but not cause its difficult to work the ps5, its cause the game itself is fundamentally broken asf

RaidenBlack39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Yea they need to fix it and I think they teased some major updates and patches this year. And as the norm we know even those won't be perfect and it'll take another year or two to reach a better state.
What Starfield also need is few more DLCs to fix the barrenness. .... and especially a substantial banger one with story and exploration to coincide with the PS5 launch and renew some interest.

dveio39d ago

"its cause the game itself is fundamentally broken asf"

Thanks.

I hate the rambling around pretty obvious things.

Such as, like you said, Starfield is just a big pile of broken code.

The latest news about Starfield's developmental environment just proved it.

badz14939d ago

If they release a PS5 version and it's still a loading screen simulator, they will just embarrass themselves.

Abear2139d ago

Corporate greed is the sole reason it’s coming to PS5. Expect the same game. This is M$ and Bethesda trying to recoup losses and capitalize on huge PS5 player base in an attempt to fund their next lame project.

neutralgamer199239d ago

Hopefully there is a huge major patch that gives the game a fresh chance

rudero39d ago

I believe it 100% because it was already being developed for PlayStation before they were acquired.

Not a rumor or a magical Microsoft push…
It was already in development.

-Foxtrot39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

They are going to have to do something to make you want the PS5 version

They can't escape all the negative coverage it's received since launch so they will need something to draw people in and honestly I can't think of anything.

It will sell, it just won't sell as well as they would have hoped for a Bethesda open world game now that they are launching late when opinions have already been made.

Hope it does pretty good, big fan of Bethesda.
But not gonna lie this game was fucking ass.

Probably my least favorite Bethesda style rpg ever.
Regretted paying to play it early.

moomoo31939d ago

It was so disappointing.. its not horrible but its a solid 7/10

UnbreakableAlex39d ago

Have fun with this ginormous bore fest!

Just announce it already.

lukasmain55d ago

They should try to remove the stupid overabundance of ridiculous loading screens for the PS5 version. But I assume it's not possible because of their crap engine and/or their laziness to do anything about it. But it is possible in some instances as some modders have done so a few times for PC from what I have seen.

It will be super jarring and weird for PS5 players to see so many loading screens, I worry it will destroy any potential immersion. I don't think I could handle it honestly lol. Combining that with the uninspired gameplay, I expect it would tank my motivation to play and finish the game.

Profchaos55d ago

Yeah I feel like it was also the creation engine it was core to why I gave up on the game the forced tutorials I was still getting 4 hours in just annoyed me it did t help I had just played through tears of the kingdom st the time which had zero tutorials and being forced to stop for a guided tutorial every 20 minutes killed me I have up at 6 hours despite being a huge fallout fan

Armaggedon54d ago

If one doesnt like the screens, just dint olay the game. Just like if one doesnt not like being handcuffed, dont play a fromsoft souls game. They are integral to the games design.

BISHOP-BRASIL54d ago

Are you seriously trying to push loading screens as a voluntary design choice rather than a technical limitation in 2025? Good luck with that...

Armaggedon54d ago

I dont know… is me having input delay when I try to roll in elden ring a technical limitation?

Bathyj55d ago

Meh.
I just started Death stranding. I don't have time for that.

LoveSpuds54d ago

I am trying to wrap up my Elden Ring playthrough so I can get a replay of Death Stranding in ahead of the sequel. That new video last week has be really excited, I loved the first game, one of my fave platinum trophies.

Bathyj54d ago

This is my first playthrough.
I didn't really get it when it released.
But after that trailer I decided to give it another look.

After 5 hours, I've built my first bridge. While ïts to early to be 100% sure I think I'm hooked. I'll see how I go. It feels like a game that hard to sell to someone but if you know you know

There's just so much Kojima in the game.

LoveSpuds53d ago

Just wait until later in the game when you start building a network of zip lines. Journeys that used to take 20 mins are done on a couple of minutes, it feels so satisfying 😀

Hope it continues to resonate with you dude, enjoy!

Profchaos55d ago

If what never a matter of if but when

MaximusPrime_55d ago

I have zero interest in this game but there are people who like it. People have their personal preference.
