Yeah these were real for sure, could tell from that first thread
Hoping the first trailer shows some sci fi elements, such as creatures etc.

Interesting. I'm not holding my breath for a 2021 release though.

2021 on the table.. Interesting. Wonder when we'll see more. I imagine they'll keep release date close to the chest. "Targeting 2021" might as well be a shrug emoji at this point. ╮( ̄ω ̄;)╭

Which is fine with me, glad to hear it's on track - but if they get more time that can generally only be good overall.

I love them too and I don't think they can get away with making another buggy game. They are out of get out of jail free cards.

I think if any major change really happens it will be Elder Scrolls, if Bethesda is ever going to change, maybe it's with the full weight of Microsoft support behind them.

I hope the Series X blades & iOS xCloud client come out beforehand - would be great to play Space Skyrim on the go

Yeah, the more information we got, the more legit these leaks seemed. I believe them.

Important to note that those screenshots are from a 2018 build, and quite obviously in a testing environment.

Another leak showed some armor, which looks quite good.

I believe the 2021 target date, too. I initially thought we may see something later this year (perhaps at TGAs), but now I think they'll wait until the Microsoft acquisition has finalized.

I wonder if it's a start of Starfield's guerilla marketing? There was Todd's interview the other day (and he rarely gives any interviews), now a prominent BGS director wears a Starfield shirt with that badge when he doesn't have to. They know about the leaks, and yet... The video was pre-recorded, so Cheng could have easily changed into something else, giving people nothing to speculate about. Interesting.

This kind of "realistic" sci-fi is a bit of a letdown for me... I was hoping for a more fantastic approach like Guardians of the Galaxy. By now, it seems a little bit bland.

Haven't seen that picture before. This looks great and is totally my jam.

They said since reveal it was going to be a more grounded approach to space travel/exploration.
Oh really? That sounds boring
To be totally fair, they didn't say it. All they said on the subject that space is still dangerous like in the 40s and that there will possibly be spaceships, because spaceship fuel was mentioned. Nothing more. Knowing Bethesda, there will be still fantasy shit too.

I really hope this game doesn't have some sort of tedious oxygen meter you have to manage while exploring.

Some added context, Todd Howard has said they want it to be grounded in the sense that their take on space travel (and other stuff) is something that could happen. This doesn't mean it's going to be a sim or totally grounded in tech we have today. In fact, they have even said they have to gamify things, and have alluded to things like other races.

Didnt say there werent going to be fantastical elements,
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Complete opposite for me. This feels like a really under-represented style in gaming. I can't wait to see more from this. The reveal trailer gave me such strong Interstellar feelings; a movie I greatly enjoyed.

I would be totally onboard with that kind of setting if Naughty Dog, Arkane, Santa Monica, Remedy or CD Projekt, to name a few, were behind. But the Bethesda storytelling skills are far from good and I don't see how they can use a grounded setting in a better way than they've done with TES or Fallout settings.

There is little reason to believe it will be grounded. Todd and Hines called Starfield "crazy", "the biggest, most epic sci-fi thing you can imagine." That doesn't really sound grounded to me at all.

It's hard for me to get hyped for probably the most boring leaked screenshot of all time for a game we know nothing about other than its in space.

I'm loving the near future setting they got going.

I dunno, between Starfield getting name dropped multiple times during the Zenimax acquisition and subsequent rumours that Sony was negotiating a timed exclusivity deal for the game suggested to me that it's probably coming out next year.

I'd love for that to be the case. I could do with a new Bethesda game about now, jank and all. I'm just remaining pessimistic about the release year given how many other games have been pushed back recently, mostly due to COVID.

Hmm. If 2021 is true, I wonder if it'll still come out on PS5 if no other reason than that version is close to completion and it would pointless to throw all that work away.

Great seeing 2021 is on the table. I need another Bethesda RPG after skipping Fallout 76.
