![]() ![]() Last week, an official post in the studio’s Discord server confirmed that they are “still sorting stuff out for it.” ![]() When it was left out of the Developer Direct lineup, the studio promised a standalone showcase at a later date. But, as the expected release window closes in, Bethesda has been decidedly mum about the project. Originally set to release November 11, 2022, the game was delayed until the first half of 2023. Starfield will be Bethesda Game Studios’ first new intellectual property in 25 years, and their first game to release since Fallout 76 in 2018, so fans are eager to get their hands on it. Starfield is currently the second most wishlisted game on Steam, surpassed only by a game that is set to release today ( Sons of the Forest at the time of writing). Hopefully, subsequent showings in the lead-up to the game's release will do better at hyping things up for what's believed to be the only game standing in between Bethesda and The Elder Scrolls 6.Since Starfield was left out of Bethesda’s Developer Direct showcase last month, fans have been chomping at the bit for more information about the game, especially its release date. Starfield's initial footage didn't impress those who were expecting a bit more. Starfield was originally slated to come out this November before Bethesda delayed it to next year. Inon Zur also mentioned that Starfield is a "deep and philosophical game that will consume a lot of your existence." He also notes that the game is centered around the story and how players write their own stories within its narrative.ĭoes size matter? We'll know soon enough. As we know, Skyrim has a well-crafted story to match its beautiful setting. The story is set two decades after two major factions in the universe have ended a war and the player joins the last remaining group of space explorers.įans have already commented that Starfield feels like Skyrim in space. Starfield is more of a story-driven RPG which is typical of Bethesda titles. No Man’s Sky sandbox adventure has several short questline to explain the lore of the game and introduce the main mechanics. Where the two games vastly differ is the story. It is reported that while there is an algorithm to populate planets in Starfield with creatures and landscapes, the developers still had to finely tune each one to make them feel unique and alive. Bethesda’s approach to procedural generation is different from Hello Games’ implementation in No Man’s Sky. Starfield has one thousand planets scattered around a collection of one hundred stars that players can visit. Both have procedurally generated planets and assets to make them feel more or less alive. ![]() Comparison to No Man’s Sky Starfield has always been compared to No Man's Sky.Įver since Starfield was announced, it has always been compared to No Man’s Sky in terms of size and content. What we have yet to find out is how many of these unique locations are out there in the entire game. ![]() We have seen previews of unique locations within Starfield and they are well designed and feel alive. The big question is how much of the planet can be explored. Starfield will have a lot more area to explore as it has planets. It does seem as large as Skyrim and feels more populated, incorporating real-life locations around the Boston area. Random events also seem to pop up everywhere to keep players occupied.Īs for Fallout 4, there is still an ongoing debate as to how large the map is. Skyrim is beloved by fans not just because of the sheer size of the map but because of how much you can see and explore. The size of the map is around 15 square miles and most of it can be explored by players. The eleven-year-old Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is still one of the biggest open-world games ever. Open world maps Players get to explore the vastness of space in Starfield. How much exploration can be done in Starfield is yet to be known. It is not that hard to imagine that the game would be very large, as it has one hundred star systems and one thousand planets that players can explore.įor fans of Bethesda, the allure of games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 come from the things you can encounter when exploring the vast wilderness. Starfield will have a game that is twice the size of the largest games to ever come out of Bethesda Studios.Īccording to the game’s composer Inon Zur, Starfield is "at least twice as big as the biggest game" from the studio. However, it looks like Skyrim and Fallout 4 will be tiny in comparison to Bethesda’s new IP. ![]()
