Out of a 3 minute trailer, I saw 15 seconds of gameplay. But let’s be real. This is Bethesda. We know what to expect. Tons of bugs and an already prepared statement to release after people realize their $70-$300 game isn’t released in a playable state. The best thing to do is wait for release. Check out reviews from your favorite source and also User reviews. Then wait a year for the community mod that fixes all the bugs that Bethesda was not able to fix. Then you might as well wait another year for DLC and for Starfield to be on sale.

Yeah, I was confused too. Then I found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMOPoAq5vIA - I haven’t watched it yet, but it seems to be a new video going through gameplay.
I really like what I’m seeing, ranging from the depth of things to do, to how granular the systems are, to how much I love the art direction Bethesda has taken. That said, it still won’t be a day-1 buy for me when it launches, I simply don’t trust big AAA releases anymore and will wait at least a little while to see if it’s simply unpolished, or flat-out broken.
As always, try to keep your hype in check and wait for the release. It sure looks good now but we’ll never know until someone has played it.
Let’s hope it will work out excellent!
Maybe I am just incredibly contrarian, but the art direction really inspires no emotions in me. I understand the idea of “NASApunk” but it looks like every DeviantArt near future art page. Blocky construction with a lot of triangle shaped cutouts and scalloping.
There is the cowboy sector and the cyberpunk sector, and on their own they look more interesting, but it sink of seems like a kitchen sink approach to a tone instead of something with a more coherent identity.
I hope the game has more heart and identity, and I end up being one of those haters shown in a retrospective video on how great it is.
I completely agree with this take, including the “I hope I’m wrong” bit. It just looks… bland? Like it’s relying on the idea of space being expansive and vast and full of… well, everything that exists - but in the end will it just feel like a Bethesda game with space assets subbed in?
Then again I still play No Mans Sky so my desperation to be a space-man is obviously without limit.
Agree mainly for me it’s the npcs. They really look like assassins creed npcs. No real character in them just the bare human minimum lol.
Don’t know why but I’m skeptical. AAA releases have been quite often a disappointment for me the past few years. Hope it’s going to keep the promise…
It’s Bethesda so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s bugs at launch. But still looks pretty cool!
