It's almost a game then, Dino! *chuckle* I'm excited about this one.

It also has a title screen!

That reveal was honestly very underwhelming.

I'll be following this. Maybe Bethesda can fill the hole BioWare has left for a space sci-fi adventure.

Er... the music is nice?

I like the idea of BethSoft moving beyond just the two franchise properties. My guesses were for either SF or spy genre settings. So no objection to Starfield, assuming it's designed to be playable as a single-player offline game (otherwise no sale).

But there are still plenty of fun questions we can ask.

What does "open-world" even mean for a space game? Is "Spacerim" planned to ve a Freelancer-like game, where you can fly from place to place to shoot things (ships), trade things for better gear (bigger ships, better weapons/engines/etc.), and in the Fallout 4/76 mode, build bases (colonies)? How would Starfield being open-world distinguish it from past space games?

Lore? Ship management? Crew management? 4X features?

And will it also support fan mods?

the first few seconds when theres actual trailer in the trailer it looks a whole lot like a freelancer nod

I do hope so, Flat.

A well written and exciting storyline would be most welcome, masseffect7.

Yes, it does, Cornflakes!

I can only hope that I finally get a game which gives me all the elements that made Freelancer such a standout game for me.

Todd Howard has finally dropped some info about Starfield: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comm ... interview/

One thing that surprises me a bit is that it may be planet-based, rather than space-oriented -- but it's hard to figure that out from the brief comment about procgen being used again to make a "bigger" map.

Howard also says "it'll be a while" yet for Starfield, and that there are like 4-5 times more staff working on it than on Skyrim. Soooooo... BIG, then.

I like big! I'm happy with big. Don't mind waiting for big, however long it may be, as long as it's good. There aren't enough good sci-fi RPGs, not by a long shot.

This does look like an interesting beastie

I *REALLY* hope they get in the proper AI system they pronounced for Oblivion.
Where each AI has tasks and goals that they try to achieve, where the AI has to eat, and so does their job and trades for food to be able to eat.

With modern hardware and the next gen consoles being so much better than the current ones, and with the world loading off the shoulders of atlas as they added with Fo76, they SHOULD be able to simulate all the NPCs going about their day during the course of gameplay.
Which would lead to living worlds and economies.


I absolutely doubt they will do that though...
