Bethesda releases 7-minute Starfield feature video




If, like me, you are excited about Bethesda's upcoming blockbuster game, you might want to check out this new video, a 7-minute long featurette. While the video doesn't contain actual game footage, you'll learn plenty of new things about the project and discover exclusive artwork from what appears to be a massive new franchise.

Join Game Director Todd Howard, Studio Director Angela Browder and Art Director Matt Carofano as they discuss how Bethesda Game Studios’ ambitions, passions and history have shaped the studio and how they are looking to the future with Starfield . Keep an eye out in the coming months for more episodes of ‘Into the Starfield.’

excited too, but still at least 1 year to go (release date was announced for November 2022)
and that's if the game isn't delayed, which it will probably be just like most major games of the past few years

Starfield? Bugfield.

Remember that scene from Empire Strikes Back, where Han flies through a (n unrealistically dense) asteroid field? Replace those rocks with programming bugs and unintended behaviours.

Wait. Did you just comment about unrealism in a Star Wars movie? I mean, do you know why it's so dense and/or have you personally visited the Hoth asteroid field to know how realistically (or not) it was portrayed in the movie?

Do I expect Bethesda (modern or old) to deliver on the promise of Elite? Can't say I do.
Fetch quests in space.

Will come back in 10 years when the modding scene has done its thing.

Good to see Todd reassuring us that he has nothing to show. This is one of the telltale signs that a game isn't going as planned but needs to be marketed somehow. You know, this whole video looks like a brainstorming session for a game that is set to release in less than a year.

Only way you get to play this or any upcoming Bethesda game is to either get a Series-X or on game pass because micro$oft obviously gonna make 'em xclusive to their platform.
Yeah, of course. And next you wanna tell us Santa isn't real, huh?

I think he means the un-realistic part is flying through such a dense asteroid field.

But then again its not so un-realistic coz Solo and all them pilots on smugglers moon regularly flew through those asteroids to evade imperial patrols.

Well, hearing about it is good and all, but I want to see actual gameplay before I getting on the hype train.

As for coming to other platforms, I doubt it, but Microsoft games have came to Nintendo before.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.

    I live maybe 3 minutes from a Dairy Queen, so I would just go there for ice cream anything anyways. I usually get the Oreo Blizzard, or a Peanut Buster Parfait.
