September 6th isn't far away and I say take as much time as they need. It looks fantastic!

 

[Iceman]

So June 11th for a deep dive! Can’t wait for that.

The day after that will probably be the full Summer games Showcase.

If so that would be crazy back to back! People will go into the summer showcase already very happy in that case (assuming Starfield comes off as good as expected).

Starfield Rumored To Be Bigger & More Ambitious Than Play Testers' Expectations

I find that a mixed blessing. What I want to hear isn't "big and ambitious", its "polished, deep, and fun".

They've got until September to polish the game. Relax.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

This thing will a mess like all of BGS games. Modders will fix it eventually though.

Starfield controller is real and already out in the wild | Metro News

Pretty nice.

 

[Gothamsknight]

I typically don't use controllers on PC, but man that is a beauty.

 

[Iceman]

Deep dive time! Looking good so far.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

They've managed to impress my jaded ass. Those dead Bethesda eyes tho.

 

[Iceman]

The character creator looks decent.

 

[Iceman]

That was a ton better than I was expecting. Definitely one of my must-play games now, just won’t have the time to play it properly. I’m used to Bethesda games being buggy and looking pretty bad which I take with the scale (although I’d rather have a bit smaller and looking better), but this has better visuals than I thought it would.

PC for this one then. May as well get use out of this thing I paid up for and have been too busy to use (and with graphics cards suddenly seeing a big performance jump straight after I upgraded ).

 

[Gee]

Not surprising considering the footage we saw. Even on PC I'm not sure you can lock at 60FPS...

Game looks like everything I was hoping for and more as a life long Bethesda fan. Instantly pre-ordered the premium edition on Steam.

Given what we saw last year I'm very happy this got delayed. This game could actually last in the way they want it to, which I didn't take too seriously before. There aren't a whole lot of games out there as ambitious with scope and still looking half decent visually.

Man, this looks incredible. Can't believe it's only a few months away.

Agreed. That extra year really paid off!

 

[Iceman]

Also if they can do this with Starfield now I can only wonder what they will be able to do with Elder Scrolls that many years later. It's going to look unrecognisable from 360 Skyrim!

I can. My computer is already better than the recommended specs. Hell I can probably push the settings down to low and get 50-60 fps on my steam deck. It just depends on optimization first and foremost.
