The fact that we got a presentation of 45 minutes that never reuses footages gives me a lot of confidence for this game.
It looks awesome.

Yeah, when they announced "Elder Scrolls in space" I was immediately imagining all the different races we could play as, each with their own abilities.
Kinda disappointed it's only humans, but seems like it's the direction they're going for. Humans are seemingly alone in this universe, and desesperatly search for someone else.
Maybe for the sequel. I imagine the main quest will end with us finding a highly intelligent alien life form. Maybe the sequel could take place some hundred of years in the future, mankind has found alien civilizations and are starting to join the cool alien club.

Well, the promise of the generation is 4K 60FPS. If people are finding 30fps below standard, it's logical that this game might not have everyone on board.
Either way, capping it to 30 on Series X is... certainly a choice when a framerate mode that's 60fps 1440p could be more than feasible (I think?) considering Series S will run at 1440p/30fps.
Also, I'm just here for the inevitable "Is the Series X holding the generation back?" memes
EDIT: I read it's apparently the console CPU that "caps" it. Disregard my comments.

also, I'm really disappointed the watch is just a dumb watch. even if it costed more, a proper themed Android Wear watch would have been the most bitchin piece. well someone will make a proper hardware mod and software skin

That controller looks sick, but I have no need for it lol. I do need a headset for my Xbox, $125 is too rich for my blood.

I already know I'm going to spend an unholy amount of time in the character creation screen.
Probably my biggest issue with Starfield (or even, looking ahead a bit, Elder Scrolls VI eventually): I simply can't spend that much time in front of a monitor or TV anymore. ;-(
Really need a way to quickly pick up and play these things on portable hardware...
Well, maybe on Steam Deck 2 or something like that.

This is one of the rare occasions that I want to play a game not in Nintendo hardware (the first one since 2003).
I can not believe that I am looking the prices of the Xbox X because this game.
How much these games cost on a Xbox? US$ 60 or US$ 70? The HD space that comes in the console is enough for this one?

Starfield is running $70 for the standard edition. If Starfield will be your first game on the system then you will have more than enough room. Right now the PC version is ~125GB.

By the videos, I thought this would easily surpass 500Gb. But I am totally clueless about PC gaming and other consoles, so for me, this size seems not bad at all.
- Pronouns
- He/Him
I get that. I have a Series S and while the size will be a little smaller give the lower resolution and specs, I am still expecting 100GB plus.
Streaming is a big no-no, sadly, within my circumstances and use cases. Looks pretty neat otherwise!

Fortunately no game anytime soon will be getting close to 500GB
Also this game has been in my head ever since the dedicated showcase. That's one of the best single game direct type streams ever.
I gotta look into upgrading my CPU cause I know it'll bottleneck my rig like hell.

I really hope this game delivers.
I was not interested in it after the last time we saw it.
Now I am pretty hyped.
Does a lot of what No man's sky does but hopefully more coherent (and beautiful).

I would be okay with/maybe even prefer no intelligent aliens in the game, it’s a style of science fiction that I tend to gel with where humans expand into space and differentiate over time. Aliens tend to stand in for allegory in these kinds of stories, and I’d rather it be a game about humanity discovering its place in space on its own terms rather than contending with a metaphorical aspect of itself to find the answer.

I'm hoping for Drake, but I doubt Microsoft will let me know beforehand.
p. s. i don't like streaming either

Personally I wanted it to be space elves/cats/lizards because I wanted it to be Space Elder Scrolls lol
But I'm fine with the direction they went. I'm just not a fan of the armors, being NASA space suits inspired for the most part.

Yep. Also, perhaps I'm misunderstanding here but it feels like some people are responding to this with a "damn what an oversight, you forgot the humanoid aliens Bethesda!" kind of approach, when it's really a deliberate and legitimate world-building choice
If only we can get Children of Time as a video game

The game looks absolutely fantastic. I don't feel up for that sort of experience right now but will definitely keep an eye on this. Crossing my finger for yall that this will turn out as fantastic as it looks so far!
just the fact that this sentence exists is a dub for microsoft as they been lacking contenders for a while

I didn't watch the whole conference or follow previous news and besides I'm out of the Microsoft world since x360.
So I wanted to know if they had announced any more details, about the game on the series S and if the latter is a worthwhile purchase.
I ask because the last time I bought a console (ps4pro) I bitterly regretted it.

it's "native" 1440p on Series S, which is a high watermark
*I put native in quotes because it can either be dynamic, upscaled, or both

I see, I would have been fine with 1080p as well, so great.
I can definitely consider buying a Series S then, I just hope storage space doesn't prove to be an issue.
Thanks
well they did just announce a 1TB version and memory cards are coming out from other makersI see, I would have been fine with 1080p as well, so great.

Xbox Series S : 1440p / 30 FPS
Xbox Series X : 4k / 30 FPS
At this very moment, there's no talk of a future 60 FPS update.
I'm not very surprised with this to be honest ; no a single trailer / teaser of the game ran at 60 FPS before.
I'll give it a test on my PC with the Game Pass to see how it run (i5 12500k, 3060 Ti, 16 Gb of DD5).

I hope they have much lower prices than Microsoft memory expansions, it seems to see the psvita situation.
I did some calculations and a 512GB Series S (priced at 230€) + 512GB memory expansion costs more than the 1TB version.
I hope these third-party expansions arrive soon.
I read some comments talking about MODs. They said Starfield on series S and X will support them?

Not yet but that wouldn't surprised me ; Bethesda pushed to get mods on Xbox One & PS4 for both Skyrim & Fallout 4 and while it had some limitations, it still allowed for quite a lot to come, like the amazing "The Forbidden City" (yes, the game is based on a mod they made before for Skyrim).I hope they have much lower prices than Microsoft memory expansions, it seems to see the psvita situation.

I guess we'll have to wait a bit more to hear about this.

Finally got around to watching the entire preview. Really enjoyed Fallout 4 and love space shit...so was already looking forward to the game.
As soon as they said you'll get rewards for scanning entire planets and systems I was like "shit...I'm going to have to do all that and love every second of it". I hope anyway. I dug the whole Planet Scanning system in Mass Effect 2.
And then staffing your ship/outposts to bring in resources...like a 3D Fallout Shelter (which I really enjoyed).
And the spaceflight/combat has some strong FTL vibes (which I absolutely love).
And the regular old ground combat looks decent too. And there's powers too I guess (was that what they hinted at the end?)...I mean, I did already say I liked Mass Effect.
So yeah, I'm sold.
Edit: I will add that as much as I appreciate good graphics and realistic environments, having super-duper accurate atmospheric lighting/planetary orbits/whatever else is cool and impressive...but doesn't add much to the gameplay/fun considering how much time/effort/processing it takes to achieve them.
But I'm old...this was my first space game.

Sony had a lot of things that restrained what PS4 owners could get for mods.
Xbox owners had much more freedom.
The only "big" restrain was every PC mod that needed external softwares or DLLs like Skyrim Script Extender or FNIS and stuff like that.

Considering the size they did not lose their touch with file optimization Skyrim was huge for its time and was barely above ten gigs.
Maaan, 835p...
