Starfield Needs to Avoid No Man’s Sky’s Woes
At the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase, Bethesda finally revealed the first look at gameplay of its highly anticipated Starfield. The game is the next large single-player RPG from Bethesda after Fallout 4 in 2015, and it is the first brand-new IP from the studio in a long time. It will be taking the Bethesda video game model into the stars for a space faring adventure that promises to be one of the most ambitious titles that the studio has ever made. While the Starfield gameplay looks fun and the concept sounds cool, what fans have seen feels very much like another space faring game that promised too much.
After the gameplay of Starfield was revealed, many gamers began to draw parallels to Hello Games' No Man's Sky. Both games shot for the stars and promised a galaxy spanning adventure. No Man's Sky failed to live up to the hype at launch, but it has since received countless large scale updates that have significantly improved the game. If Bethesda is not careful then Starfield may follow that same path and have to play catch-up with numerous post-launch updates.
Starfield Definitely Seems Like Skyrim, Fallout in Space
The anticipation for the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase was high as it was going to be the first time that Bethesda shed some light on Starfield. The gameplay that was shown off looks to be a pretty fun Bethesda game set in space, but a lot of the elements seem very similar to No Man's Sky. The game will have players exploring a grand galaxy of more than a thousand different planets. Players will be able to land on these planets, traverse their landscapes, and mine resources, which is a concept that sounds just like No Man's Sky.
Starfield will also let players construct their own outposts on these various planets.
