Starfield Gameplay with comments

In five, four, three, two, one

In every one of our games, we always put so much care into all those little details that breathe life into our worlds

But Starfield isn't just a Bethesda Game Studios world, it's a Bethesda Game Studios galaxy

So why go this big with Starfield? because we want to give you freedom on a galactic level

The freedom to experience both the exciting planets and the quiet ones

Scanning a planet before you land is a great way to get a sneak peek at the available resources

you can use for crafting, building, and customizing. I think what's cool about this whole system that we generate the planet itself as a procedural content

but the handcrafted content itself comes as the player explore. Our system builds a planet

as the player approaches it. We stitch together a block of terrain

After that we have the system that adds interest in locations for the player to explore, creatures

to encounter, ore and plants to pick up. It allows us to add that touch

of environmental storytelling that the best that is known for. Aggressive creatures

have been disrupting our experiments. Their habitat isn't far from here. If you could take care of them for us, we would be in your debt

So even if your friends were to visit the same planet that you had, you would have a different story to tell

It's going to keep this guy down

It going to be enough to watch It completely up to you how you want to interact with each planet

whether you want to explore and see what you can find, harvest resources and be on your way

or simply take in the views. With the help of your scanner, you'll chart the uncharted and discover exotic wildlife

If you have the skills, you can. even figure out that certain creatures and plants, you can build an outpost and produce resources

from those plants and animals. You can get experience and rewards for fully surveying planets

and fully surveying a whole system. When we were concepting these creatures, we really wanted to think of them as natural to

the environment. We didn't want alien monsters. We wanted native wildlife, something you've never

seen before. When it comes to our exteriors, when the sun moves, all that light is calculated in real

time through the atmosphere. Our biggest goal for lighting with Starfield was to make the game feel more filmic, to use

lighting and color to really make it feel more cinematic. After some exploring, you can find a spot to set up a base camp

Outposts can be built almost anywhere on any planet. And the habitat modules come in all shapes and sizes, filling all different purposes

You can even live in them. Assign crew and companions to work at your outposts for added bonuses and set up extractors to harvest resources while you away Something cool we have this time is we have a new fly cam where you can toggle between on building

or you can now use a top-down isometric camera, which helps plan out larger parts of the outpost

and placing those larger habs. That way you can really plan your structures and what the overall feel of your outpost is

And then when you're on your feet, you can really decorate and fine-tune things much easier

Add crafting and research stations in your outpost to utilize any resources you find or already have

Mod your weapons to adapt them to your playstyle. Different weapon sites and scopes

Larger magazines. A selection of grips and barrels. Different ammunition like explosive rounds

All you stealth players out there will surely need a suppressor. You can also choose to go hands-on with melee weapons

I think it's always a delicate balance between like what's realistic, what's Sim and what's Hollywood

And I think we sort of err on the side of like, what's fun for the player. With Starfield, we've completely overhauled our combat

It's more dynamic. The animations are more fluid. It just feels great

We probably have more mods and more weapons in this game than... I want to say any other game we've done before

There's a lot of variety. Upgraded gear is just one of the many factors to pay attention to when engaging in combat

You may need to switch things up based on your environment. Gravity is different for each planet and boost packs are excellent for getting around And for giving you an edge in combat Sometimes you even feel like you flying

Zero gravity environments pose a different challenge. Firing a ballistic weapon in ZeroG will actually push you backwards

Energy weapons, on the other hand, offer. for a more stable shooting experience

We also have mag weapons. These are high-powered electromagnetic induction ballistic arrays

Each barrel has its own targeting laser and can dish out some serious damage

Whether you want to get up close and personal with your own two fists, or you like more compact weapons like pistols and submachine guns

or maybe you prefer something, bigger. Starfield's got you covered
