    Why, it may even have 16 times the detail! I love that it just works too!

    I do find it interesting to watch the hype cycle for this game kick off. It’s gamer memory on display. The game may be good, but I sure as hell won’t go near it at launch. When promoting FO 76 Todd used an interesting method of advertising called “lying”. It would be good to see the community being very skeptical of this.

    It’s also hard to believe that it will have the kind of unrestricted modding that makes Bethesda titles into classics, they have been constantly trying to figure out how to push macro transactions. It’s a tough sell to charge someone $20 for the colour blue on the armour if there’s 6,000 mods that are more creative, and free.

    I do hope I’m very wrong to doubt this game. I would love to mod the hell out of a vast space adventure. I just have no reason going in to trust anything Bethesda says.

    Edit: corrected my autocorrect.

    I have high expectations for Creation Engine 2. Bethesda got a lot out of the original. I have no doubt that they’ve taken their time with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 just to make sure this engine is ready for them.

    As hyped as I am for Starfield, I can’t help but think that it’s basically a massive scale beta test for Elder Scrolls 6, just to make sure all the kinks are worked out before they release the successor to Skyrim.

      I have high expectations for Creation Engine 2.

      Why? Genuinely curious. Gamebryo and Creation are nothing but messy clusterfucks with horrible performance and tons of really bizzarre bugs

        Because Bethesda made some of the my most enjoyed games ever on the first engine, and presumably the successor will be better.

          “Better” is awfully genereous considering their games seem to get worse and buggier with every release, needing the entire community to do the QA job for them because they know clowns will still buy broken products if it has the right coat of paint

            If I’m a clown for enjoying their full releases like Skyrim and Fallout 4, then show me where the makeup is. I’ll wear that shit all day.

    To be honest, the trailer looks like fallout 4 in space. Same stiff animations and the graphics are already below the current gen.

    I seriously doubt it’s going to be very different from the previous engine but I don’t really care as long as the game gives a proper ‘bethesda’ experience.

      I mean, I would definitely get Fallout 4 in space.

      Frankly, I would buy more Fallout 4 expansion packs if Bethesda would make them.

      My limiting factor isn’t the engine, but rather than Bethesda decided to go off and do other things that were neither Fallout 4 nor Fallout 5.

      It’s been nearly decades, and NPC dialogue animation potentially looks as bad as it did in Oblivion. Stiff and takes me out of it.

      Other games can do better, why can’t Bethesda?

      The level of graphics to me are acceptable given the scope, I just hope that it will perform well and the spec requirements aren’t as grim as they seem.

    This game is probably going to be a buggy mess in the beginning, but I’m going to play anyway. It’s on Game Pass and so am I, so why not?

    My favorite thing about Todd Howard is his ability to lie to thousands of eager fans with a straight face.

    Can’t wait to play Starfield: Ultra Special Deluxe BattleBox Edition on my Samsung Motorola GAMERXTREME VR Headset with turbosuck 2000 haptic feedback.

      Turbosuck 2000 is already outdated. Turbosuck 3000 added a microtransaction store upgrade that sells fondle your balls with super-turbo suck DLC now.

    Yeah this is one I’m waiting a bit on, don’t trust big game releases. It looks great but we all know that doesn’t always mean much lol.

    I’m a sword and magic type of guy and love Elder Scrolls. I had no interest in Starfield but after seeing the videos of the game, I am very interested. It really does look like something special is coming. Will there be bugs at launch…YES. I know they said it will be the least amount of bugs–or something like that. As long as they fix them and they game isn’t an unplayable mess, I may hang up my sword to take a look at the stars.
