I also wanna know if I can be a space trucker. One of the ships they showed off that you could design kind of looked like a cargo hauler. Edit: Specifically this one

Is Emil Pagliarulo writing this? If so...TresTristesTigres posted:So, one or both of us might not be 100% right on what Emil wrote for what. My understanding is that Rolston was the lead design on Oblivion. Emil, as a junior designer, probably touched a lot of things but the only big chunk he could take credit for specifically was the DB questline, which can be summed up as:

The alien artifacts are pieces of a large planet sized "halo" shaped object, and if this "halo" object is completed it will destroy all life in the galaxy I think it's based on a book called "the ring that shouldn't blow up"

ErrEff posted:I think it looks fine - just like a Bethesda game! The game's atmosphere feels reserved and 'generic/vanilla future stuff' but I think that's 100% on purpose, because on PC this will have lots of mods. As for console versions, the understated fantasy vanilla flavor on the surface didn't stop Skyrim from being very popular there as well. Skyrim and Fallout 4 both are mod supported on consoles too. Mostly the Xbox version which can use most PC mods, Playstation also has some mods. So I'm expecting Starfield to be fully supported on consoles as well.

if it was me, if it were me, i'd probably make it and have it so that what it is, is that you start the game on a space ship. the space ship at the beginning of the game is about to crash, and you have to make it to one of the escape pods if you want to survive or else you're dead meat. and once you make it into an escape pod, the game kind of swooshes over to a UI element with a series of options to make. each of the escape pods has a predefined character in it, and those characters are all fleshed out and you can interact with them later in the game. but the main thing here in this section of the game is that you could pick to roleplay as one of these characters here starting at the beginning of the game. but the last escape pod is a 'define your own character' escape pod that doesn't show who went into it until after you've defined your own character. and once you choose a character or make your character at the escape pods, you fully take over that character that you selected, hopping into the escape pod and then the escape pods all eject from the space ship right before it blows up. one of the escape pods was malfunctioning though and the person who was in that randomly assigned escape pod dies right then and there on the space ship where you start the game. it could be your favorite character, and you just have to live with that, or it could be you, the player. And it was written by your best game writer that you fancy

ErrEff posted:I don't think players will have control of spaceships when landing or taking off - it'll just be an automated process. The footage contains a hint that this might be the case - every lander module contains this description: "Spaceship landers come equipped with auto-deploying landing gear, to help pilots land on even the roughest of terrain." When in spaceflight it'll be a separate instance and if you try to crash down into a planet it'll just take over and transition you down to a landing to get around physics issues. That makes the most sense to me. NMS doesn't really have anti-aircraft fire/aeriel defences, so Starfield could just chuck those over a region if they don't want you landing directly on a mission objective. Thinking of the 1000 planets thing a bit more, what I assume they've done is run a NMS style infinite planets procgen - then weeded out anything that's not appropriate for their aesthetic. So while in No Man's Sky you might find a hot pink neon planet with boiling seas and big head dinosaurs right out of Caelid but are vegetarians and will be your friend, that would have ended up on the Not Hard Scifi pile here. Each of the 1000 planets that aren't directly related to story could have met enough criteria to be considered Different and Interesting in some way however.

With the space travel, can you fly all the way down to the planet surfaces from outer space in real time or is it seperated by a menu or loading screen? I'm out of the loop of modern space games, IDK if that kind of scale is possible yet.

They didn't explicitly show that so probably not. It'll likely be a cut scene. Some games do that like Elite and Star Citizen (lol)

Atmospheric distortion can hide a loading process - with that and SSDs it would be pretty pathetic if they needed a loading screen there.

Go to procgen outpost, generically shoot some dudes, gain resources to upgrade an interesting treadmill, repeat ad infinitum. Gameplay should be fun, not the chore you have to complete before getting an increment of ship/colony/house upgrade or whatever actually drew your interest.

Lexorin posted:I deeply hope that the reason the shooting sucks in Fallout is because of the V.A.T.S. system. Assuming starfield doesn't have that, then they don't have a reason to make the shooting suck on purpose. I realize this is extremely wishful thinking. In 99% of my fallout encounters I forgot vats even existed. The gunplay was a very solid meh at best.  Though I don't much like fps games and played it third person so maybe there was improvement if you did it in first person. I only did fps when I was in a dungeon because the camera didn't work well in them for tps. But on the surface it was all third person.

Au Revoir Shosanna posted:what are the chances they gently caress up the modding scene for this by going all in on their paid for creator club bullshit? I'd say 85-90% honestly. I'm kind of expecting them to somehow shut down free mods except for stuff they curated and you can buy with Bethesda tokens sold for real money. I figure they could do this by setting some kind of decryption in the exe file that has to be used to decode a mod, and every week they just push out a game "update" that alters that code. This would effectively kill modders because they can't keep up or don't care so mods would stop being supported at various versions of the game, but getting your favorite stuff working would be impossible over time. Unless of course... you buy them from Bethesda who updates their curated mods with the new decryption keys.

With guns their jank is noticeable because you sort of know what a gun should do, especially in video games. They don't do horribly, but it's also not fun or exciting gunplay. I also don't really think anybody really looked like they got hit until you crippled some limb, but I do the stealth sniper route (fallout version of stealth archer), so it was headshots whenever possible. I also only liked bullet guns and never really used the lasers because they felt even more hokey. That floaty feel of my character always made the combat not feel super fluid, and I never felt too powerful or exciting, the kill cams were neat enough but just blowing off limbs with guns and it was not as crazy as the swordplay stuff. Same thing in Skyrim except it was a sword, and I didn't care if my hits weren't exactly on target so the jank of my character moving wasn't as bad and never pulled me out of the game. I could feel like a sword swinging goddess of destruction all I wanted because it feels more like an rpg game where stats mattered and my changes were more visible and felt that way in the world. My magic was different colors, and had different effects. I honestly don't know if it's just the engine they can't ever escape from or if they never buy good programmers who know how to do those games because they only have as billions of dollars and Todd wants a new Ferrari color every year... I dunno.  But whatever it is, Bethesda can't make shooting anything more cool than a bow and arrow (even the crossbow in Skyrim was pretty lame), and they just shouldn't make those kinds of games.

So is there a cockNballs ship goon guild yet? Can you use bent antennae for pubes and expand the hulls length when prepping for light speed? 3 round burst plasma gun? This game is gonna be fun maybe. Just watched the presentation a 2nd time and the interface looks and sounds pretty good, definitely emulating Death Strandings UI which I am very much okay with. I'm afraid they're going to target 30fps min for launch and I hope I am wrong*! *XsX & PC should be capable of 60 or I will twitter cry

This game looks… cool… as long as it can be modded to hell I’m in.

The process can actually be a lot quicker, you can boost right to the edge of the atmosphere, then pull out of a death dive at 12feet up to land safely (physics!). But this is an old engine developed by a tiny team, so fly/land anywhere with no load screens should definitely be doable here.
