Starfield Announced - Bethesda's "Next Generation" RPG

New Starfield info from a Todd Howard interview.

TL;DR -

Single player game. No MP component planned.
Will be on Game Pass day 1.
But it's not coming out any time soon and may be subject to additional delays.



Interview Link:
(1 hour 5 min)
  • Starfield is a singleplayer, no multiplayer aspects.
    [*]A focus on procedural generation during level design confirmed for Starfield and TES:VI
    • This is a tool for developers to create massive landmass and does not mean the land will be randomly generated in real time like No Man's Sky, meaning your game will look the exact same as everyone else. This is simply an engine tool to create larger worlds, so expect Starfield (planets?) to be much larger than Fallout 76's map, which is already four times bigger than Skyrim. YOUR ELDER SCROLLS/STARFIELD MAP WILL LOOK THE EXACT SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE MAP WILL BE RANDOMLY GENERATED.
    [*][*]**Huge major overhaul to the Creation Engine - larger than the jump from Morrowind to Oblivion ("**when people see the results, hopefully they'd be as happy as we are.")
    • Rendering
    • Animation
    • Artificial Intelligence & Pathing
    • Procedural Generation
    • And more areas.
    [*][*]“It’s going to be a while” until we see Starfield, the release can be subject to delays etc. so he really doesn’t feel comfortable talking about it yet. EDIT: Todd said the same exact thing one year before the release of Fallout 4. 2021 gang! Thanks /u/fags343 for pointing that out.
    • He doesn't want to reveal Starfield earlier and just release teasers until the eventual release like Cyberpunk.
    [*][*]NPCs will play a large role in future games, cities will be expansive and large compared to past games, etc.
    [*]Will be on Game Pass from Day 1 alongside ES:VI.
    [*]Bethesda will continue to support mod support in the future.
    [*]Amount of developers are at least 4x - 5x larger than they were when they worked on Skyrim and Fallout 4. Starfield is going to be big.
    • Bethesda Games Studio Dallas, Maryland and Montreal are working on Starfield.
    • Bethesda Games Austin is in charge of Fallout 76's post-development with the Brotherhood of Steel expansion update coming this December.

Abhi bahut door hay, Nov 2022, that's like light years away!

Hopefully they finally fix their trademark peculiar animations & general bugs.

The very first time I executed FO 4, it glitched. The voices played only when I paused the game,

followed by the animations when I unpaused :l

I almost deleted it staright away but then decided to reload it & it worked fine. Stupid Bethesda Studios.

Bethesda Apologizes for Starfield Xbox Exclusivity: Can Be 'Frustrating' For PlayStation Owners - IGN

Starfield is confirmed as an Xbox and PC exclusive, and Bethesda's Pete Hines apologizes to frustrated PlayStation players.

After months of "will they, won't they" speculation, Microsoft and Bethesda have confirmed that upcoming RPG Starfield will be an Xbox Series X|S and PC exclusive. And though this may be frustrating for PlayStation owners, Bethesda's longtime marketing boss Pete Hines says he understands this is disappointing, and apologized.

"If you're a big fan of stuff we make and a game that we're making is no longer available on your platform I totally understand if you are unhappy or pissed. I get it, those are all real feelings and frustrations," Hines said in an interview with GameSpot.


"I don’t know how to allay the fears and concerns of PlayStation 5 fans other than to say, 'Well, I’m a PlayStation 5 player as well,' Hines added. "And I’ve played games on that console, and there’s games I’m gonna continue to play on it. But if you want to play Starfield? PC and Xbox."

"Sorry, all I can really say is, 'I apologize,' because I'm certain that's frustrating to folks, but there's not a whole lot I can do about it."

I created the lighting for the 2021 teaser trailer of Starfield. Using our own Creation Engine 2, we created this entirely in game without any cinematic tools. Working closely with director, Istvan Pely, I assisted in art direction for anything lighting and mood related.

Both FH5 and Starfield trailers call the footage in-game. 🤷‍♂️

So did the lighting artist who worked on the Starfield trailer 🤷‍♂️
