How long is it since they first mentioned this and yet still bugger all is known about it?
Could really do with it being a proper departure from Elder Scrolls and their Fallout games, lol if it's using the same engine and is just the same sort of thing but SPACE.
It's a new engine, from what I read. I'm absolutely fine with Space Fallout/Skyrim though
Free on GamePass too I bet!
Skyrim managed an impressive feat in that I played about 110 hours of it and it's left very little real impression on me. One day I just stopped and I have no urge to go back or real desire for an Elder Scrolls 6.
If it comes out and it actually looks like a modern game and like an actual RPG then I may be interested but I won't hold my breath.
OW has smaller, much more contained environments from what I remember from when I played it. I'm not sure what they're going to do with this - I think each planet will be like a Far Harbour or Nuka World, rather than some procedurally generated No Man's Sky effort. But I don't see how that scales to any sort of space exploration idea.
Game delayed until next year
Whole load of stuff announced here:
So, No Man's Skyrim then, yeah?
It could be interesting to see them get out of the Fallout and Elder Scrolls universe. Assuming they don't just have ready made stand-ins for Brotherhood of Steel, Thieves Guild or whatever. And they don't start the game with, "FAMILY MEMBER MISSING! FIND YOUR DADWIFESONKING."
The story looks like some 'hunt the space mcguffin' and there are a bunch of factions, from what I see
I wet my pants with excitement when I saw the sort of grey, rocky planet you'd tire of driving the Mako around.
These boys know how to put a hype trailer together.
New release date confirmed: Sept 6th 2023
This is gonna be the most broken piece of shit ever.
I know that's often levelled at Bethesda (and I clearly love them so am probably biased), but just how many balancing patches have been released for Elden Ring, for example, and how much broken shit has been found in that game a mere year after release, without so much as a peep?
Or FIFA - same wonky bullshit every year, multiple patches and still many things borked
I often wonder how many FIFA patches are to do with security. As for Bethesda, just make something I would like. Fallout 4 just didn't click for me.
Security? Doesn't seem like a lot, considering the amount of filthy cheaters on PC right now with their 7ft tall teams of invisible Messi's
I never said the patches worked.
I avoided FIFA as people do complain about that a lot, but Elden Ring was lauded as one of the best games ever made (which it probably is in fairness) despite the end game being an absolute cake walk upon release if you happened to use one of the ludicrously over powered weapons.
I loved it, but one can say that while also citing that's it's ridiculous that they're still releasing balancing patches (not to mention all of the other game breaking glitches still in existence). Excluding Fallout 76 for the first year or so, it's as broken as any Bethesda game now, if not more.
By broken, Yev, I'm not talking balance. I'm talking the absolute clusterfuck of horrendous bugs, fucked animations and multitude of other things that are ever present in Bethesda games.
Elden Ring got away with it as unlike Fallout, Skyrim etc...its a great game.
But then I am the opposite in that I find Bethesda games to be the absolute worst and Todd Howard the walking definition of a cunt.
I remember the PS3 version of Skyrim having a bug where save file sizes grew exponentially.
There's also an element of Bethesda games looking janky and outdated (in terms of animations etc.) even when they're working as expected which has made them extra meme-able and adds to a reputation for this sort of thing.
Trailer
Gameplay deepdive
It looks decent but the true test of any Bethesda open world is how quickly it breaks outside of a controlled demo. I'm more annoyed Phil Spencer got on stage with a Hexen shirt. Pull that trigger, dickhead.
Looks pretty great! Excited to play, just a shame I won’t have time to play it
It still looks.... Fine.
At least they showed off some.planeys that aren't grey rocks this time, and the cities look pretty if a bit tropey.
I'll play it because it's on Game Pass, otherwise I'd be waiting for a sale
I'm all in. Got the early access version and gonna take the day off work to play
Been looking more and more at this and if Bethesda have got it right we could be looking at one hell of a game. The idea of seeing a planet in the distance and thinking "I'm going to fly to that", then doing so, landing, exploring and colonising it is so fapworthy it's untrue.
Have you played No Man's Sky? Seems like you'd love that. If it's basically that + Fallout 4 it's going to be le GOAT.
Some absolute bastard "friend" of mine has organised his wedding for the release weekend so my plan of spending four or so days balls deep in it have been curtailed somewhat
Played a bit of No Man's Sky but struggled to get into it through what I perceived to be shoddy in game mechanics. I would have given it another go, but this will probably stop that from ever happening.
Skyim, Fallout 4 were both fine on release. Fallout 76 was an absolute sack of shit, but was hopefully an outlier.
Look, I like backwards dragons like the rest of you but Skyrim was not fine on release. I had to stop playing because my PS3 save would not stop growing exponentially.
Ah yeah, it never worked on PS3, did it? No issue with that this time round though.
Bet Yev is fucking moist for this
I am, but with the caveat that I've never really enjoyed space games, so hopefully Bethesda can change that.
Will you be on it DS?
You should get that checked, if anything the Mass Effect series was a banger (yes even Andromeda, even if less so).
Bethesdas AI generated quests have proven themselves to be the worlds most boring thing so I can't wait for 120 planets worth of them.
What, the radiant ones? Just don't do them.
Download done. Only 100GB for the actual game, with another 20GB for the soundtrack and artwork.
For some reason it's taken me this long to realise this is a Microsoft exclusive. A bit annoying, but what can you do.
Do I go PC or Xbox… I’m thinking PC for mods and stuff.
Hold me.
I’ve just spotted it has cross save, so can always move over. Thinking of doing the GamePass upgrade thing so I can play Friday, as my wife is away
Oh ffs this is Xbox exclusive?
No get the fuck out, I might have to get an Xbox just for this. Are Xboxes any good compared to PS5?
If you just want it for this, get a Series S for £250, then get GamePass. You can get it cheaper if you sign up for Xbox Live Gold, then use the £1 conversion to GamePass. It’s not as good as it used to be, but still cheaper than paying for GamePass outright.
