Microsoft has been noticeably collaborative with both Sony and Nintendo when it comes to cross-platform titles and enabling cross-play between bigger games. Realistically, Bethesda games already in production like Starfield or The Elder Scrolls VI will probably see some sort of timed exclusivity, but titles further down the timeline may incorporate more features for Microsoft's hardware and/or come with Xbox Game Pass support on lau
Howard elaborated that Bethesda is thinking very far into the future with Starfield , envisioning something that will run on next-generation hardware. But he doesn't count out the possibility that current systems will be able to run it in some f
" Yeah, I think they're gonna have an event for this. Leading up to E3, I think this is one of the milestones for Microsoft. Once the deal closes they will talk about it in a in a big way. I don't know if it'll be like a full direct style event, but they will make note of it and they will talk about it extensively and explain what it means to everybody and kind of talk about the immediate future for both companie
The spacesuit of the playable character has a couple of visual logos in high fidelity, offering the briefest of glimpses into the game's world. Those brief glimpses are all players may get for a long while, with holiday 2021 being the earliest rumored release date for the game. This date could be even later with the recent Microsoft buyout of Bethesda , as an infusion of new cash and a new direction could allow Bethesda more leeway to create the best game possible, even if it takes more time. On the flip side, Microsoft could want Starfield out as soon as possible to shore up the Xbox Series X's first-party lineup, which its massive pools of resources could make trivial if used effectiv
The most likely reason for this is because, like The Elder Scrolls VI , Starfield is still a long, long way from being ready for release. Most fans knew that there was zero chance that the game would see the light of day in 2019, and most are estimating that Q4 of 2020 will be the absolute earliest we could see this game release. However, it could go beyond that, and it’s not unthinkable to assume that Bethesda will wait until the next console generation begins to officially debut their new
To refresh your memory, Starfield was given a brief teaser trailer. It showed space, a planet, and a satellite before revealing the logo. Todd Howard, the Bethesda director who delivered the announcement, said "We have also been working on a brand new, next-generation, single-player game, but this one is in an all-new epic franchi
Speculation aside, players will likely see Bethesda present a huge gameplay portion before going into launch details on Starfield . Even if these leaked images are legitimate, they really only confirm the most base rumors about the game, serving the generate more hype for something that is almost completely unknown. That's the problem with showing logos at press conferences, they build undue hype for games before the real work is done. There's a huge risk in releasing a let down in the eyes of the public if a game with such buildup isn't the next big thing. For Starfield , the cat is out of the bag, and one can only imagine the pressure on the team to craft a whole new world that also serves as the next Skyr
To close out the interview, Howard confirmed that a playable version of Starfield does exist. Bethesda's people have narrowed down what Starfield "is" and Https://Starfieldgalaxy.com can play it now. This is the reason the team felt confident in announcing the game at E3 even when it's still so far off. Gamers, however, probably won't be seeing it for a while. At the very least not until we know what the next generation is, or when it's com
There's no doubt in my mind that Bethesda Game Studios will deliver good, if not incredible games with Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI , whenever they actually end up releasing . If they want to keep their status in a genre that's always looking to raise the bar though, they need to create a world that gives a role-playing experience unlike anything we've seen before. They've definitely got plenty of time to flesh out tons of old and new ideas...so no pressure ri
Several images first posted to the infamous 4Chan message boards have been shared across social media (thanks, Okami13_ ), purported to be screenshots from a 2018 build of Starfield . The first image shows a third-person perspective on an futuristic-looking astronaut wielding a shotgun according to the game's HUD, although the weapon is not seen on the player model. In addition to a health and stamina meter, there also appears to be a meter for oxygen, which would be a key component in any game that wants to realistically depict space exploration. The second image appears to be concept art of one of the game's spaceships, and it certainly matches the space station briefly seen in the game's official teaser trailer back in 2
