Starfield: Official Gameplay Reveal - Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022

Gunplay is ok not terrible & how should the gunplay be? Bethesda are never known for their gun play they are known for their RPG mechanics & Open World game design

if you want the best Gunplay you should play COD or Apex lol

I don’t need top of the line gunplay mechanics, just something that feels good. FO4 didn’t feel good at all to me, maybe Starfield will improve on that. We’ll see.

Gunplay looks a little inconsistent, where at some parts in the video enemies react to being hit and other parts not at all. Hope they improve that. I expect it to be at least better than real-time shooting in Fallout 4. I would not have minded something similar to VATS in Starfield.

I think we can expect more updates more often on the game now, like marketing really starting now that it has been fully revealed. It’s different to Fallout 4 now, that game came out five months after gameplay debut, but still had a couple more videos I believe. Starfield is at least a year out very likely. We’ll probably get a lot more.

Trust me i agree with you but all these people complaining about combat have either never played a bethesda game or are just being negative because its not coming to playstation. Both fallout and elder scrolls have janky combat but that doesnt stop these games from being amazing

Yeah, I don’t need to see more though. I don’t want too much to be spoiled, I want to find things out when I play myself. I never understood the need some people have of hours of gameplay beforehand, I don’t have people read me several chapters from a book before I decide to read it myself either. People are weird.

I wholeheartedly agree with you and I will try my best to avoid more videos too, but can’t guarantee that I will succeed.

For example, we didn’t see much of the RPG elements, if they were to cover that I’d probably like to see that. But I definitely agree with you about finding stuff out by yourself. Things like just exploring. Remember the concept arts where one of the guys is inside a cave of some sort? The unknown, those kinds of things I hope Starfield will be full of. The beauty of handcrafted game worlds.

And I’m sure plenty of those “1000 planets” will be more like NMS, barren, or like those empty Mass Effect planets, procedurally generated stuff. But I have no doubt there will be tons of handcrafted beauty by the team waiting to be explored.

Especially the city locations, so much attention to detail in those locations from what we’ve seen.

I will spend soo much time with this game. I think I will stop watching things from it now, they showed almost too much allready.

With that said, combat and especially space combat looked like expected lol. But that’s not why I play these games so as long as it is servicable at release it’ll be fine.

People are gonna mod the shit out of the 1000 planets, people are so gonna try mod something like Skyrim on one of the planets

Ok but see this is a RPG mainly not a FPS game so it has so many more things in it that it has to account for if Starfield were just purely a FPS than yeah the gunplay would be better but from what i see it is fine it even improve from FO4 already from what i see

Yep, what I’ve seen has allready sold me 100% on the game. I want that sense of mystery when I launch it myself, just like you described. No need to see anything else for me now.

This game will be fantastic.

I know it’s an RPG, i just hope that it feels good to ME. It’s not going to break or make the game for everyone else, it’s just simply my opinion.

Yeah, it’s pretty obvious lol.

Lots of people seems to be confused about proper RPG’s

Exactly. I want that rush and feeling that Tunic gave me, a sense of discovery and amazement.

IGN wrong for this one lol

@Vivir

AI looks terrible and so does the gunplay.

I’m hoping everything else is amazing to mask those issues because I don’t see them being fixed lol.

The AI was more than fine in Fallout 4, those gun battles often were a nice challenge with human enemies. I expect at least as good AI here. Gunplay is hard to say, it’s fine in Fallout 4 but not ideal and most of the time I went for VATS anyway because it fucking rocks, haha.

@Vivir

Especially the city locations, so much attention to detail in those locations from what we’ve seen.

Very nice detail in there. But I expect we won’t be doing much questing there, but I hope we do. One area looked like Cyberpunk a little, we had concept art of that too. Would be nice to do some quests there. But I expect the non city planets to be interesting too. Like how Skyrim has all these caves and dungeons and what not. Locations that just beg to be explored.

It’s easy to look at this footage, see some creatures walking around and at first glance thinking it’s like NMS, but knowing BGS they’ll have some special stuff here. And the 1000 planets bit is just Todd being Todd, seemed a bit similar to the radiant quest thingy in Skyrim. Didn’t he call it Infinite quests back then? In a comment section on YouTube I saw that Todd apparently is being called the “bigger is better” man around BGS, lol.

Bethesda have made several attempts at combat before that at least showed that they realize they need to do more, they attempted some with Skyrim, and they did do more with FO4 which was actually their first game with decent combat they had. It’s safe to assume they’ll try do even more with the engine upgrade, while it might not be DOOM or Halo Infinite, it should be on the enjoyable enough RPG side (Cyberpunk level maybe).

IGN wrong for this one lol

I should probably give No Man’s Sky a shot. Wonder if it’s still on Game Pass

Edit: looks like it is

It definitely seems they have a few things to still iron out. Framerate, the shooting, AI, the flying + combat.

Which is fine, they have many months to work on it left.

Looking more forward to the AI improvements. AI technology is what I want to see improve the most when it comes to next gen games.
