Those were the leaks: https://imgur.com/a/GSWTkHn
OG leaker suggested game is on schedule for next year:
They did overhaul it. This is supposedly from a very early 2018 build from a testing level, according to the leaker.
I'm sorry, will you accept "it's a buggy mess that runs like crap but it sure is interesting?"
(I like Bethesda games.)
It looks like a sad face clown to me so that's what it is now and for all eternity.
Before the acquisition,Interesting. I'm not holding my breath for a 2021 release though.
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.

lol...no crunch please. They need to take their time and get it right.

Haha, I'm just messing with ya.
They said since revealing it was going to be a more grounded approach to space travel/exploration.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.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.
Oh really? That sounds boringThey said since reveal it was going to be a more grounded approach to space travel/exploration.
Morrowind is their only game that had a spark of imagination to it. I will never understand the love for Skyrim or this studio.This kind of "realistic" sci-fi is a bit of a letdown for me...

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.

No, I don't remember them ever saying that outright. Most of the "grounded hard scifi" rumors are speculation based on Todd's vague comments. But he's also alluded to alien races, so that would definitely bring some fantastical elements.
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.
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.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.

I'm loving the near future setting they got going.Yeah, the more information we got, the more legit these leaks seemed. I believe them.

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.Interesting. I'm not holding my breath for a 2021 release though.
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.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.
The next FF and Starfield next year....2021, really..!?
I will eat my words if that does end up bein' the case, ya.
