Bethesda unveils a wealth of delights at the Starfield Direct presentation, including the Starfield Photo Mode to capture all of the gorgeous Starfield Planets.
Digital Foundry : Bethesda's Starfield was generally a well-regarded RPG, but the game's 30fps target on consoles was the subject of some controversy. The game's massive scope arguably justified that 30fps refresh rate, with only high-end PCs capable of hitting 60fps and higher, but now Bethesda has changed course and opened the floodgates on Xbox Series X consoles following significant optimisation work. Players can now independently select performance and visuals modes at arbitrary frame-rates. How exactly do these new combinations fare, and is 60fps really a possibility after it was explicitly ruled out before?
900p in performance mode for SX.... I'd assume a 5pro would at least hit 1080p if not more.
It’s a point, click and load game. Stop with all the massive scale bullshit. Only thing massive is the number of junk items they decided to throw in the game.
Its not BS. This games running more systems than virtually any AAA game. Why else do you think it has loading screens? Besides, the clutter has been apart of their DNA for decades at this point. There are other games out there for people that dont care about that kind of stuff.
Probably because it's been created on a very outdated engine that isn't designed to fully utilise current gen abilities.
You've only got to look at what rockstar games achieve with their releases.
@Mr_Cheese People keep saying the engine is outdated, even though other engines have built upon past iterations. I think it would be more accurate to say that the engine does not do what you expect to see from a “current gen” game. Red Dead 2 was cool, but its not packing as many systems and permutations as Starfield. People make flimsy comparisons too often: “Look what this open world game can do with its visuals and presentation. Whats Bethesdas excuse?”
Yes, look at what this open world game can do that has no skills or attributes, no building potential and minimal crafting potential, coupled with all of the other variables packed in a Bethesda game. Not mentioning all of the other systems in place, you already have an unbelievable amount of potential variables to calculate. No wonder starfield has loading screens.lol
Heck, I would say that even Fallout 4 in 2015 had more systemic depth than Red Dead 2. It amazes me how much people underestimate Bethesda. Keep sleeping on them.
Starfield’s latest update is here and it’s bringing several new features with it!
Bethesda has just released the latest update for Starfield and players have discovered that the game is still incredibly broken.
It will never be running as expected, because these fixes are mostly for the compensation of the series s lol. The games legit compromised Already.
There will probably be a PS5 version announced within the next year, but don't expect it to magically fix all the games underlying problems.
Gotta hand it to Bethesda.
One way to avoid laying off QA staff is to just not have any at all!
I really tried to get into this game as I love Bethesda games. Put 40 hours into and even bought the 100$ edition...but this game just isn't good. It's an ok title at best. Dosnt have any of the charm that elder scrolls or fallout has. It's incredible how bland this game is despite having the opportunity to create a whole new universe..literally, and they give us this mostly human universe with the same things to do over n over just on a different named planet.
They had such a huge opportunity to give us this incredible universe akin to star wars and instead made it bland af. It saddens me a bit cuz I truly tried, and i love Bethesda open worlds. Maybe shattered sky's helps? Idk. To me the core of the game is just not good. The only thing I truly liked was the ship building.
This is about where I'm at. They never built onto it within the game. The lore sucked. Where as elder scrolls and fallout you find notes, books, and computers to read and what not. It adds to the game tremendously as far as lore. It couldn't immerse me like the the other 2 series. Maps and exploration lacked. Those are my only issues with the game. Unfortunately I don't think they will ever give a fk about the lore.
Credit to you I couldn't stomach any more forced tutorials and menus 4 hours in.
I hit another guided tutorial after 4 hours playing Its simply bad game design
I put in 110 hours, it had some addictive Bethesda qualities that kept me chipping away... even though, you're absolutely correct. It is a really bland title and in my opinion completely lacked that sense of discovery and exploration by taking the hub world route.
I can never understand somebody saying I put 100 hours into something and I thought it was bland and didn’t like it lol 100 hours. Some people haven’t even spent 100 hours in the gym in their life.
"Go to the gym because you spent 100 hrs doing something you kind of enjoy."
This is a bizarre take.
