From details on the epic story packed with rich characters to glimpses at the hundreds of planets available to explore, there was a ton of new information in the showcase. So, what did we learn about Starfield?

A NEW WORLD

25 years in the making, Starfield introduces an entirely new frontier to explore—space. In 2330, you join Constellation, the last group of space explorers seeking rare artifacts throughout the galaxy. Venture through the stars and get to know a memorable cast of characters on a quest to answer humanity’s greatest question—what is out there?

BUILD YOUR HERO

True to Bethesda Game Studios’ immersive RPG DNA, customization is key in Starfield. A look at the character creation menu shows off the depth of choice you have when customizing your hero. Who you will be and who you will become is up to you.

GET CRAFTY

Stake your claim among the stars by building outposts on discovered planets to conduct research and gather resources. Resources that can be used to upgrade your gear, modify your weapons and ensure you’re ready to take on any danger you might encounter.

SPACE FLIGHT AND COMBAT

Outfit your unique spaceship with upgradeable parts and customize its interior and exterior. Then, pilot your ship and engage in space combat in real-time.

EXPLORE WITH UNPARALLELED FREEDOM

The showcase also gave us a glimpse into some of the planetary environments in Starfield. On the rocky moon of Kreet, you will encounter strange local wildlife and the hostile pirates of the Crimson Fleet. But this is only one of many locations to explore. As Howard says, “It’s not just this planet, it’s all the planets in the system… and not just this system, but over a hundred systems, over 1,000 planets, all open for you to visit.”
Bethesda Game Studios “can’t wait for all of you to experience the game,” Howard says. “It’s been an incredible journey for us making it, but we know that’s only the beginning, for it’s when all of you play it that the journey begins.”

Very interested to play it, but could they have anymore blatently ripped off No Man's Sky resource gathering and Outer World's character/town aesthetic?

There is a lot of influences in there. Saw some Cyberpunk 2077 in the level design, Destiny & CoD in the weapons.

The seamless flying comment is in reference to landing on a planet. While you can land anywhere, you cannot control the flightpath.

I'm still eager for this game despite some of the negatives people have talked about. I'm hoping it won't be as big of a bust as some other recent Zenimax/Bethesda releases.

I sat thru the whole Starfield presentation and yes it seems wonderful but I worry it’s overly ambitious and soooooo many systems plus Bethesda (and the Redfall debacle) leads me to believe it’s going to be a total mess on launch. I’ll be happy to wrong though.

[Prothescar]

Bethesda didn't develop Redfall, but anyway. Bethesda game so expecting the usual, charming level of game breaking bugs and jank that will be fixed by modders in the years to come.

[carlweathers]

I'm not sure if I will like it as an RPG but it seems to really be a perfect game for like, space exploration /ship combat. The ship stuff reminded me of a space trading/shooting game called Freelancer, but modern and with features from FTL.

Bethesda did develop Fallout 76.

I expect this game to be a complete fucking mess until 6 months in, when modders fix it like they fix every Bethesda game.

[Karbuncle]

I’ll just wait for the half assed VR edition and subsequent massive god tier mods that make it an actual game

p much, just hoping the gameplay systems have a little more depth to them than Skyrim/Fallout 4 had. Bethesda has been surpassed p badly both mechanically and narratively from the age when they were one of the only open world games in town. def looks like Starfield is aiming high tho, we'll see.

In GB's interview with Phil Spencer, Phil states that Todd & crew wanted to release the game much sooner, but it was Xbox's decision to delay it for bug fixes and polish.
