“The desire to be whoever you want and explore a new world.” The promise of Todd Howard, the creator of Starfield, is about to take shape. The back-to-school game, available for Xbox and PC, was available overnight from Thursday, August 31 to Friday, September 1 in France.
At two in the morning, French players who opted for the deluxe version of the title were able to participate in the new Bethesda adventure. For the rest, we will have to wait a few more days before the big start, on September 6. Already recognized for his work in the series. fall EITHER old documentsthe studio is among the industry experts when it comes to creating role-playing games.
But this time, the wait took on a special flavor. Because the game seems to have an ambition never equaled. In recent years, Rockstar has definitely felt the need to make Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018) one of the most immersive open worlds out there. Earlier still, in August 2016, Hello Games proposed with No Man’s Sky to evolve in an infinite space with countless planets.
great freedom
With Starfield, Bethesda wants to do it twice. The developers intend to provide the realism of the first and the immensity of the second. But always respecting the DNA of the studio: giving players the greatest possible freedom.
Thus, it will be possible to explore a thousand planets. Each player will be able to create their own base there, to be able to settle there and extract resources. These possibilities should encourage players to constantly explore the corners of space, each time discovering the local fauna and flora.
The exploration part also goes through a real decoration. This means that a visible element in the sky will always be a visitable place. For the most dreamy, they will only have to look up to choose the place for their next expedition.
But that won’t happen without a spaceship. Once again, the studio has chosen to push the customization sliders to the limit. Some will prefer a fast and maneuverable vehicle for their fight in space, others will be content with an imposing freighter to transport their goods from one point of the universe to another.
Like most Bethesda titles, the adventure begins with character creation. A task that gives players the opportunity to prepare a bespoke adventure that will belong solely to them. Beyond the physical aspect, fully configurable, the personality traits and specificities of each character will be taken into account.
Shape your own story
Which influences the lived experience. For example, a diplomat will not have the same interactions as a mobster or scout. Similarly, different social categories can spark animosities between characters.
Above all, this creation tool was used to model the entirety of the game’s protagonists: from the main characters to the mere bystanders. Everyone thus benefits from equal treatment: promise of a detailed face, but also diversity, since the panel made available is wide.
Finally, as to skyrim EITHER fall 76, star field will challenge players to shape their own story. If a setting characterizes the emblematic title of the start of the school year, it is above all its giant sandbox environment that could turn it into a game to be done and redone, without ever getting tired.
At least that’s what Microsoft hopes. Because by itself, the title motivated the acquisition in 2021 of Zenimax Media for 7,500 million dollars, depriving its competitor Sony of a new exclusivity. It remains to be seen if star field It will live up to the company’s investment, but above all the expectations of the players.
