In addition to the announcements of Xbox Games Showcase 2023we were entitled this Sunday to A Starfield Directa presentation entirely dedicated to the next game of Bethesda Game Studios. Its very first new license for a long time will take us on a journey into space and has very high ambitions, since the playground will offer more than 1,000 planets to explore, the studio having nevertheless used procedural generation to achieve this result. Before taking stock of the announcements of the day, rest assured, the release date is still set for September 6th. on Xbox Series X|S and PC, with launch day one in the Game Pass obviously. To begin with, it’s a brand new trailer for gameplay which was broadcast during the conference and which summarizes in three minutes the crazy possibilities of the game.
As to Starfield Directhang in there, since it lasts no less than 45 minutes and put stars in our eyes as the promises are so many. Playable in both first and third person, our space adventure will do just as well collect resources thatviolently eliminate any threat to us, whether humans or alien creatures, using an arsenal that promises to be varied. We were treated to an overview of the main menu which will serve as a hub by bringing together all the useful information. This love letter to space exploration has been described as ‘NASApunk’, the agency’s data having also been used during the design of the game, firmly rooted in realism while offering a good dose of fun. This will be seen from the stellar map once the display of the star being explored is zoomed out to reveal the local system, with space-time distortion effects.
The main frame will revolve around the search for mysterious artifacts across the galaxy on behalf of Constellationan organization led by former soldier Sarah Morgan and including a whole cast of various characters, even a businessman. With its thousand worlds to visit, variety will necessarily be in order and Bethesda created many cities and other inhabited places. So we can find the very first human colony New Atlantis and other cities under the aegis of United Colonies, Cydonia on Mars for mining, Akila City and his side space westernthe city of pleasures Neon to aesthetics cyberpunk, etc. Not all star systems will be inhabited, some more hostile than others, not to mention the factions that will not wish us well.
For the creation of our avatar, the team went so far as to scan real faces in order to offer maximum diversity. Our character will be able to have a very distinct appearance and appear young or old, many presets being there to give us a framework at the start. The system was used to design the NPCs, so we can reproduce any of them. Freedom will be required in many respects, which may lead us tobeing chased by bounty hunters or admired by overly intrusive fans. If this is the case, it will always be possible to take our groupie to a deserted moon to get rid of it discreetly… After all, in space, no one will hear it scream! Many challenges to complete and five distinct skill trees will provide role-playing game enthusiasts with the latitude they need to specialize. Whether you like to fight only with fists, you play the assassin while stealth or smooth talker, the typical options of the publisher’s games will be present.
Our curiosity will be rewarded, so do not hesitate to explore shipwrecks in addition to planets and other space stations. To reach these places, we will havea highly customizable, upgradeable ship with a crew whose members will each have their own skills. In the spaceports, it will be possible to add modules to them and design the ship of our dreams, the shape of which can even go so far as to look like a Megazord. Adding items to the ship will change its stats and the items that can be inside. Our recruits will either be important NPCs encountered during the adventure and randomly during our wanderings, or simply those whose services we will buy in a spaceport. And besides questlines, romance will be possible.
The ship will serve both to move us, to transport cargo and in combat against others, phases that will not only require shooting, but also managing various parameters. We can either destroy our opponent before loot what is left of it in the vacuum of space or approach it to eliminate its occupants and seize it in order to enlarge our fleet. Gigantic combat ships will also serve as a place to discover. And if the comfort of our boat is not enough for us, the creation of outposts will offer us a fixed home to decorate according to our tastes, with the possibility of extracting resources and carrying out research, especially with a view to creating more powerful weapons. Finally, here are some other details. The illumination of each star will be calculated in real time according to its atmosphere, with a desire to make the whole thing cinematic, while the creatures encountered will be native to each world and therefore adapted to the many environments. Weightless shots will push us back, a way Photo will be present to immortalize our discoveries and a mysterious power has been teasedwhich obviously recalls the Strength In Star Wars.
In 2330, humanity ventured beyond our solar system to settle on new planets and explore space. Players will join Constellation, the latest group of space explorers in search of rare artifacts across the galaxy, and set out to explore the vastness of space in Bethesda Game’s largest and most ambitious game ever. studios to date.
