Support NeoGAF

[Topher]

That looks like flight stick support to me.

 

[adamsapple]

Are they selling more consoles because of this game? I thought that's how that is supposed to work in the console world..

Amazon has Series X sales up more than 1000% right now, so looks like it's definitely having some effect.

I'm ready guys

Where do you see that?

Where do you see that?

This is from twitter, it doesn't show on my browser when I use amazon.com, not sure if its from the app or mobile browser.

 

[twilo99]

Means nothing without the actual numbers sold but yes that's a significant uptick... I'm surprised

Probably from some browser extension.

About what I expected it to look like.

No obvious load screens, hallelujah.

Planet to space transition

Looks just like you want. Star wars or Sci fi esc.

I'm watching interstellar this weekend.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Eh, not really, I just... see those 3 games combined and slightly retouched, with mandatory bland looking rock structures and flashy particle effects to make sure it has "2023" release stamp on it (hello again FF16). We are excited about procedural planets or what ?

Ok, I get it now. You’re just salty.

 

[Topher]

I wish I knew what this hype is all about, Vanilla No Man's Sky meets Fallout 4 meets Mass Effect Andromeda... which part of this recipe does not look mediocre ?

Guess it isn’t the game for you. Maybe pick another one.

 

[FunkMiller]

I’m sure BG3 is great, but I just can’t do tiny people CRPG stuff. It’s so unimmersive and fiddly. Even if it’s a better game than Starfield, I’m still going with Todd.

Fucking smooth.

Your mom

Hey! That’s the ship name I came up with! Because my crew and I love to be in her.

The whole thing's a loading screen

I thought bg3 is amazing, at least Act 1. But I put it down for now and will return later when im done with Starfield and the game has had some more patches.

We've known that for a long time tho

does not make it better, this transition is awful... I hope at least a few times it has a cinematic transition were you get to space and makes you feel that transition even if it is only a video... and does not look like changing the channel and just appear floating in space lol.

 

[MMaRsu]

Mass Effect doesnt have you flying around in space yet is the best scifi rpg so I dont really mind

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

choo choo Not long now boys and gouls!

 

[ManaByte]

Bought the premium edition today.

[NewYork214]

I haven't been following the game super close. Doubt my pc can run it. Plan on upgrading in the somewhat near future. Watched only few trailers.

What's the basis of the story? Have they announced much?

 

[Northeastmonk]

I will wait a week. If I see the same people still praising the game then I’ll look at getting a copy.

Planet to space transition

This is the option Elite Dangerous sorely needed and to a lesser extent, No Man's Sky. At least in NMS, everything in the system took less than 40 seconds to get to. Meanwhile in Elite, some far off planets and stations could take around 10 minutes. 15 at the most from the arrival point. Getting Atmos entries right was a pain in the fucking ass to where if you didn't get it right, it was a long way down from your emergency descent. Thank you for this, Bethesda.

 

[twilo99]

In case someone gets lost out there next week..

It would be badass if there was a super massive Black Hole in the center of the Galaxy.

 

[twilo99]

It would be badass if there was a super massive Black Hole in the center of the Galaxy.

You mean in the game? Maybe there is….

 

[adamsapple]

It would be badass if there was a super massive Black Hole in the center of the Galaxy.

The trailers have already hinted at some cosmic level shit, we're probably gonna get some of ancient space race stuff for sure, maybe black hole energy stuff as well.

 

[Arsic]

Waiting for those reviews to determine if I’m playing September 1st or waiting till gamepass version.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

In an interview at Gamescon yesterday, Phil said that Starfield felt more Oblivion than Skyrim.

I find it funny that he said that, as Starfield is the most hyped game for me, since Oblivion. And I’ve stated this numerous times.

What does that statement mean to you guys? More Oblivion than Skyrim.

Oblivion felt a little more....explaratory for me? Maybe that's what he means.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Oblivion felt a little more....explaratory for me? Maybe that's what he means.

That’s my thought as well. It being the first of its kind of that gen, you kind of just want to walk around and take it all in.

Me installing an auto landing module on every ship I ever owned in Elite Dangerous knowing it triggers the fuck out of the 'real ED gamers'.

I plan on running it on Ultra on my piece of shit PC until it’s a pile of molten copper then I’ll look at my wife and say welp, time for that upgrade!

 

[Krathoon]

CDKeys has a pretty good discount on the Steam standard and premium editions.

 

[twilo99]

You can get the premium upgrade on gamepass

 

[Krathoon]

I am hoping for some kind of Lovecraftian horror in this game.

 

[MarkMe2525]

Might be right about the words.

It’s a weird benchmark to be sure, a line can be a single word like: “Sure!”, or an entire monologue like that priest everyone hates from Skyrim does.

When you are comparing nearly apples for apples, in a sense of the type and style of dialog, you can gain context about the breadth and variety of interaction in the world.

 

[DopeyFish]

Oblivion felt a little more....explaratory for me? Maybe that's what he means.

it felt more exploratory until you accidentally went too far in the main quest and the damn oblivion gates started showing up

that was annoying, just taking in the beauty and a little shit spitting fireballs starts lighting you up out of nowhere

 

[poppabk]

Planet to space transition

Looks a little clunky, really needs a little zoom into cockpit animation rather than black screen then cockpit.

 

[SportsFan581]

They have really started to run a lot of YT adds now, at least on gaming related videos and things like that. At least in my geographic location.

 

[In Cold Blood]

Isn't it time someone did an awesome OT for Starfield?

 

[M.W.]

Fail
