Games been in development for how long, and we can't get some in-game screenshots? Idk seems odd. Just worried it will be delayed into 2023 or beyond.

Bethesda Game Studios: "Join us- Into the Starfield" (UPDATE: Bethesda compares it to Han Solo / "NASA meets Indiana Jones", a bit more hardcore RPG)
- Thread starter FarSight XR-20
- Start date
- News
I think at this point no one knows, at least not until gameplay is shown or Bethesda holds some extensive interviews. It seems like you'll have a ship at least, and manage a crew, but outside of that, who knows? Could be like Mass Effect or No Man's Sky.
It's hard to be certain yet, but from early interviews I'm leaning towards Mass Effect style planetary exploration (lots to land on, but snapshots of each one with hand-tailored locations). From today's Telegraph interview for example:
That said, I really feel the need to point out that No Man's Sky isn't the only way to handle near-infinite proc-gen space exploration. Just because that didn't land for you, doesn't mean another studio's attempt at something similar won't either. The Witcher 3 already demonstrated that a free-form open world environment doesn't have to come at the expense of a well structured narrative (as many people previously believed) and I think the same is true for space exploration and proc-gen in general. Just got to wait on a dev to nail the balance, and the power of next gen consoles will certainly help with that. I'm very excited to see what Hello Games can achieve with a NMS2 given everything they've learned from the first game, and all the potential a SSD and Ryzen CPU affords them in terms of asset density and variety.
Yes!
if there won't be many new delays, 2022 will be really really good for gamers.
at Moment, I just hope horizon is able to still make a 2021 release.
Bethesda always save their gameplay reveal for the year of release, usually about six months out. If they've given a date AND released an in-engine look at the game this far out they will be feeling very confident.
Based on what we've seen there's no need to worry about this game. They've done more to show it off at this stage than they did for the likes of Skyrim.
Yes, so much we have yet to learn! Here's a snippet I found interesting from the Telegraph's interview today though, that I think demonstrates they understand their core audience wants something much deeper than vanilla Skyrim and Fallout 4 offered:
Was looking forward to this just because it's Bethesda immersion, in space. But after that video I'm even more excited now.
Their humans look human now, their assets seem to be of great quality (plus they seem to be using a lot of photogrammetry so nature stuff will look stunning, and the trailer hardsurface stuff also looked great too).
It sucks that I won't be able to play it on the PS5, but I'll be there on PC for sure.

Hopefully there are space bows
The gameplay is probably going to be similar to skyrim/fallout in that it's a first person RPG where there is combat, loot, exploration, and you can go around and do quests and talk to people (aliens?), with one huge addition: Your own personal space ship. The interview from today hints at them making the RPG elements deeper too (example choosing a background for your character that will impact your game). The big difference is instead of one large landmass it will probably feature multiple planets. I can only assume this based on what I've seen so far.
My guess would be a handful of larger hand crafted worlds that have cities and whatnot, along with some smaller uncharted worlds a la Mass Effect 1. But that is 100% a guess. Outer Worlds also might be a good comparison in terms of having multiple planets/space stations to visit (albeit at a larger scope and scale).
Honestly I would much prefer if it were smaller uncharted world's like ME1.
we'll see 🤷🏻♂️
My buddy just had a great idea.
How funny would it be if they included a fully playable version of Skyrim within the game as an easter egg. Some random house in a city with a "working" 360

This game is gonna be incredibly massive. And it will be easier to tell new stories all the time. Because the universe is endless. Just add a new planet.
One of my big questions now is companions. On the poster I assume the one in the space suit represents the player, who are the other two? The robot was in the teaser and is on the poster too... the fact that it feaures on the poster makes me think its more than a mindless robot, but who knows.
I really bummed myself out by mis-reading the release date for this as being THIS Fall instead of Fall 2022. :(
For fucks sake, the hype is hitting hard right now lmao. Told myself I wouldn't do this shit again after Cyberpunk...
The concept art for this game is really amazing, and with BGS' style of game design, this could be something really special for me. Definitely looking forward to this!
I'll have to see more of this game closer to launch before I'll feel anything like excitement. After a year and a half of lockdown I've burnt out on massive open world exploration. I just don't want to hoof it across large desert landscapes to pick up a thing for someone or build a base to store my space cheese wheels.
Lmao. I feel the same way. I figured that I would have learned my lesson after Cyberpunk but nope. Setting + beautiful concept art once again is more than enough to get my hype hitting madness levels.
Nice art. I'm very curious how traversal will be handled in this game.. will it be like a star citizen/no man sky?
Whenever I think Era is too much, I go on Twitter and run back to Era
I think MS is nowadays going in with the weeks worth of news rather than just one event.
Day 1: Gamepass
Day 2: Halo and Starfield and Forza
Day 4: Dev sitdown
I fully expect Xcloud demo and/or acquisition news this week tbh
If they can pull off even 80% of my hopes and dreams with this game it's gonna be mad lit
fuck yes. It looks just fantastical enough that I'm hype af. I did NOT want it super grounded and sterile. Give me wild ass aliens and tech and environments

The concept art is getting me a little too excited. Need to keep hype in check, but damn just imagining playing in some of those locations, especially the domed city on water and the second city. This will be one of the things that forces my hand in getting a Series X.
It is what it is, maybe in the future if I have extra cash I'll be able to buy a Xbox Series X or PC.
Looks good, I'll likely pick it up day one just like every other BGS release (sans F76) for the past 20ish years.
