Starfield – upcoming RPG set in 2330

19th June 2022

Bethesda Game Studios, known for the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series, has revealed gameplay from Starfield – its first wholly-original franchise in over 20 years.

The sci-fi epic, scheduled for release in 2023, is described by its developers as "NASA meets Indiana Jones". Players will join Constellation, a group of explorers hunting for rare artifacts scattered throughout space. Alongside this, two factions in the game, the United Colonies and Freestar Collective, are engaged in a conflict called the Colony War.

The game offers detailed character customisations, which includes their personalities, backgrounds, and skills, in addition to physical appearances. It even allows the crafting of entire spaceships and planetary outposts. Your character is playable in either first- or third-person perspectives.

The story takes place in the year 2330, by which time humanity has spread across 100 star systems. Judging by the presentation below, these are likely to be scientifically accurate, with each star's real-life spectral class, mass, temperature, and so on. Alpha Centauri, for example, matches the information found on its Wikipedia page. More than 1,000 planets will be fully explorable – both in your ship and on foot. These will range from barren rocks, to burning desert worlds, frozen wastelands, and lush forest planets with a variety of alien flora and fauna.

For gamers who might be disappointed with how Elite: Dangerous turned out, Starfield promises to be an excellent alternative, with its huge and richly detailed open world, compelling storyline, and futuristic setting.

Don't expect too much. U will be lucky if it can even run for more than 10 minutes.

I get serious reluctance at cybertech like brain computer interfaces and becoming more of a cyborg. Later on as the tech is more in the public domain and heavily vetted I will definitely start incorporating it into my body after using life extension tech and other stuff to live longer so as to see amazing things like this become a reality. Sure now it may be "sci-fi" but if advances in society continue on it should be a universe of amazing wonders like these games show!

So, effectively it falls flat on its face in a matter of meaning.

GameSpot tend to be harsher critics than most other review sites.

So Fallout but in space.

Ah, that's maybe why then.

Really going to get into this right after Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk comes out. I'd figure this is kind of like a modern Mass Effect 1 more than anything else.

Any of you guys played this yet? I'm still playing through Resident Evil 4 remake, but Starfield is next on my list.
