Yeah one example....

 

[Sosokrates]

But Starfield said it was.
How can you possibly doubt him at this point?


It was one of Starfield 's bullet points in a now-locked thread.

We taking one posters prediction as gospel now...

We taking one posters prediction as gospel now...

How could we not take a forum shill seriously?!

 

[Stuart360]

It seems like people are expecting a miracle with this game. I’ve seen comments like Skyrim in space whilst also suggesting each planet will be the size of Skyrim.

If Bethesda could make multiple planets with the density of Skyrim then shouldn’t the next Elder Scrolls title (being a single planet) only take around 6 months to a year to make?

Todd could probably even make TESVI in a single nights sleep with some of the expectations people have set for themselves for this game.

I dont think anyone is expecting every planet, moon, base, whatever you go to to be the size and complexity of Skyrim. And anyone that does is just trying to put unachievable expectations on the game.
When Todd said 'Skyrim in space', i'm pretty sure he was just letting people know what to expect gameplay wise.

 

[Haggard]

People just need something to look forward to, I guess.
If Starfield turns out to be a turd like FO76 there'll be other games to fill the hype-verse.

 

[Sosokrates]

Easily.

 

[RoboFu]

I mean Skyrim and fallout sale soooo much because they are soooo horrible .. right? Right?

 

[Ribi]

because who didnt like fallout 76

Yeah giving the track record of Bethesda that is unlikely. So much so that worrying about it is just concern trolling.

 

[Sosokrates]

Fallout 76 is actually pretty good now if you enjoy playing with others.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Your friendly reminder that Sony tried to buy Starfield's exclusively before the acquisition. They obviously saw something worth bringing out the checkbook for.

According to one guy on twitter.

LOL they never learn do they?

 

[begotten]

But this happens all the time. You really think The Medium had a must play and subscription selling factor to it, or maybe MS just needed a new horror game at the time for their catalogue, like Sony would have liked another RPG in Starfield.

 

[SteadyEvo]

Excitement from the possibility of Fallout 3 in space. If handled properly could be HUGE. We’ll have to wait and see

 

[zeorhymer]

Cause it's a BRAND NEW ENGINE (tm). It wouldn't surprise me if it's a modified Gambryo engine.

 

[kingfey]

Probably closer to No Man’s Sky, but my point was people are expecting Skyrim on multiple planets. That’s simply not possible.

They are thinking of exploration. No man sky type of exploration with Skyrim mixed together.

 

[Sosokrates]

According to one guy on twitter.

Well judging by the fact that sony moneyhatted 2 games from zenimax, it does not seem unlikely that they were gunning for the big one.

But... You 2 just happen to ignore this information

 

[elliot5]

of course it's a modified gambryo engine. No dev goes full scorched earth when they make a "new engine".

Many companies would love to have BETHESDA's track record. FO76 was a rare misfire from this company when it comes to mainline games. And as much as people like to shit on FO76, that was a game that could have had a more successful launch if they had done a bit more consumer testing to figure out the things that simply did not work (which they eventually did, with the game in peoples hands).

. . .as for STARFIELD I am definitely interested in what they can do outside of a fantasy setting and in a new IP. I'm honestly expecting the game to be structured like Outer Worlds, just with much larger areas; though if it is one large planet with smaller surrounding offworld designations that would be fine too.

I think it will be open world, or "open galaxy". Freedom has always been a big part Bethesda games.

I do think planets will only be partly explorable though. Otherwise it would be too big.

Yes but you missed that information which adds to the credibility of the rumour, you and the other guy are trying to make out like its an untrustworthy source , i mean "its only one guy on twitter"

Yeah this is what i meant in my earlier post about a narrative trying to be made by certain sections about Bethesda being not that good. Take away Fallout 76 (who want even made by Todds team) and you have an exemplory set of games probably unmatched by pretty much anyone -

Morowind
Oblivion
Fallout 3
Skyrim
Fallout 4.

 

[Darlingcognito]

Prob the same reason Sony tried to buy exclusivity for it.
Listen, if they managed to create enough money for the deal to happen you'd be pissing your pants about it instead of Abandoned and Forspoken.

Yeah its hilarious some folks are actually trying to form such a narrative

Yeah i mean we know for a fact they bought exclusivity for 2 Zenimax games, and no ones going to tell me they didnt also try and get Starfield, the 'first new IP in 20 years from the makers of Skyrim and Fallout'.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Skyrim in space. Bugs + Mods, who wouldn't hype it?
I'm looking forward to this.

 

[Topher]

Rumors are rumors. This twitter post is the single source for that rumor. It has not been corroborated by anyone else. I said nothing about the source being "untrustworthy". I said it was "one guy". And it, factually, was. If you have a problem with that then you have a problem with facts and I can't help you with that.

 

[EverydayBeast]

According to critics the game is supposed to be big and a continuation of previous works right now we know starfield is in game of the year conversation with elder stone and gran TURISMO 7.

 

[Hezekiah]

Hype. Very little interest based on anything of substance as so little is known of the game.

Its pretty obvious that you dont think the one guy saying is a credible source,

Otherwise you would not of gave the fire emoji to the "they will never learn" statement

Whether or not I think he is a credible source is irrelevant. He is the only source. If emojis are your only argument at this point then we really don't have anything to talk about.

Funny that you typed this, while there is 97 Metacritic game, which had the same thing.

The guy has more credible, than random twitter people.

Plus Sony got timed exclusive for deathloop and ghostwire tokyo. You think, they wouldnt get the exclusive rights for starfield?

Maybe. True. No idea.

Yeah we get it, you think Starfield will be the best-selling game of the last decade lol.

How did you jump in to that conclusion?

 

[Hezekiah]

How did you jump in to that conclusion?

I was exaggerating of course, but I have seen posts where you've spoken about how massive this game will, in even in comparison to other AAA tiles.

 

[kingfey]

Maybe. True. No idea.

A new bethesda IP, which is timed exclusive to your console would have boosted the Ps5. Especially with the games they have this year. If MS havent bought bethesda, this would have been 100% timed exclusive to Ps5.

 

[kingfey]

There is something charming about bethesda games. They nail the exploration part. Your character is nobody. You can make your own destiny. This is why Starfield is big deal. Space game, with skyrim+ no man sky flavor is recipe for a generational game. It wont hit 97 metacritic, but it will leave a mark in gaming, like skyrim did.

 

[Stuart360]

Its not going to sell as much as Skyrim (roughly 40mil) or Fallout 4 (roughly 30mil) as its a new IP, its only on PC and Xbox, and its on Gamepass day one.
I wouldnt be surprised if it matches Fallout 4, and possibly Skyrim long term in player numbers though.

Not much charming about the past two Fallout games though.

Hopefully this will bring something new to the formula, and without the bugs and lack of polish.

 

[Starfield]

Look. Starfield won't invent the wheel again (in terms of mechanics and some gameplay stuff it will be VERY different than TES/Fallout) but it probably will be a solid game.

It will also be an open world scifi rpg, we don't have many of those nowadays.

The bug is something that is out of their control. Their engine needs huge revamp, since old bugs from 1st version still follows them. Its why their games looks jaggy or buggy.

It can have fun with warp mechanics. Imagine warping through the universe. Its space game. There are endless mechanics which bethesda can make.

Will we get Skyrim, Morrowind or Fallout 76?
Will the real Todd Howard stand up!
