Shitey fake scottish accent!!

thought it was 9th June you americans are weird.

Maybe it's the Scottish ppl who have been faking the accent the whole time and Americans discovered the REAL Scottish accent just like they discovered FREEDOM!!!

 

[FoxMcChief]

Was hoping for summer, but hey whatever helps the dev team ship the game without having to kill themselves.

September is summer for us in California.

Based on what's in this video, third person definitely looks a lot more refined than previous Bethesda RPGs. Good, good.

 

[MOTM]

Who is shitting on the announcement?

People who are factually stating that this represents a futher delay and that we are still yet to see anything tangible beyond the trailer that we got last year?

People will be happy and excited when there is something to be happy and excited about. Let's see what June brings.

A few more months for you and your buddies to put in some extra prayer time so that this turns out bad.

 

[Spaceman292]

Here ya go ya filthy animals. Game play.

Is that the same sprinting animation as Skyrim?

 

[Magic Carpet]

Yay, A date.
See everyone at the Showcase.

Hope for their sake Spiderman 2 isn't releasing that same month, otherwise Starfield is gonna get Horizon'd (which all things considered, still did quite well). But I get a feeling Spiderman 2 is a November release.

Also hope the game lives up to my expectations. The last footage in June looked very rough; the footage in the new trailer looked a bit better in terms of frame-pacing, but since they did the same thing the Forza Motorsport team did in the last direct, we don't get any direct feed gameplay making it hard to actually identify how the gameplay looks now. Guess we'll have to wait until June for that.

I did like the cinematic presentation of the main part of the trailer itself; does well to sell the idea of space and exploring it. One of the planets showed the player running along some of the local animal life, so it will be cool if we can see how different organisms go about their business in their natural environments, and not just necessarily existing for bullet fodder. Being able to observe that type of stuff was fun in HFW and it'd be cool to see Starfield build on that with actual organic organisms.

Welp, looking forward to the Starfield Direct, only a few months to go.

 

[MOTM]

We have to scour B rolls for gameplay now?

Gameplay was revealed last year. Don't you have access to YouTube?

 

[Kacho]

Is that the same sprinting animation as Skyrim?

Yep. That's a creation ass creation engine game

 

[Topher]

Gameplay was revealed last year. Don't you have access to YouTube?

I was joking

 

[Windle Poons]

Chances when we get to August it will just require a teeny-tiny last minute delay of a couple of months therefore releasing in November for the Christmas rush?

 

[Sanepar]

Goty is coming!

 

[digoutyoursoul]

In terms of the bigger budget stuff, is it RedFall , Forza and Starfield for this year? Considering two of those got substantially delayed and last years lack of big releases, could there be one more?

 

[Robbinhood]

Graphics look disappointing based on the b-roll.

I really hope there's planets with lush vegetation and beautiful vistas.

 

[Elder Legend]

Excellent date. Too many anticipated titles in June. This is perfect.

 

[stn]

I haven't looked into this game at all apart from watching a short clip. Is this supposed to be Skyrim in space, basically?

 

[Kacho]

I think we'll get one more that they announce at the Xbox showcase. I'm guessing Gears 6 or Hellblade 2. Forza alone isn't enough to carry the holiday months.

 

[oji-san]

Would rather it came out sooner tbh, my GP is over on 1.10 iirc, i wasn't sure if i would resub again a few months ago but since then i played A Plague Tale: Requiem, High on Life and Atomic Heart, and Redfall on the way.. so i think that more then enough to resub for me. Anyway i hope it's final date and no more delays.

 

[Gaiff]

Most of Bethesda games are TES but in a different setting. Fallout is TES in a post-apocalyptic future and Starfield is TES in space.

 

[Topher]

Walking/running confirmed

 

[Umbasaborne]

A few more months for you and your buddies to put in some extra prayer time so that this turns out bad.

No one wants it to be bad, but im not sitting here cheering that the game was delayed AGAIN, and on top of that they wont show new on screen gameplay for another 3 months, you know, the deadline that the game was originally gonna release by. Glad it has a date, but the way microsoft handled this and forza motorsport were poor, and it was shortsighted of them to commit to launching these games in the first half of the year

 

[Riky]

As long as it's this year I'm happy, plenty of people were saying otherwise.

Also it looks incredible,

 

[NonPhixion]

The real question here is can we climb ladders?

 

[adamsapple]

Walking/running confirmed

A few more things also TBF

- There's a sprint meter on the bottom left.
- At the start of a video, when the camera swings back to the ship, you can see a companion following you.

 

[Robb]

Hopefully they manage to stick to it this time.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I think we'll get one more that they announce at the Xbox showcase. I'm guessing Gears 6 or Hellblade 2. Forza alone isn't enough to carry the holiday months.

Gears 6 this year??

 

[Jigsaah]

September!?

PAIIIINNNNNN. I was hoping june.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Does this mean that Forza comes first? Perfect.

I think it means forza will come out when they think they can release it, the vibe i got from last months delay to a nebulous 2023 is that they dont know yet. Could be before, could be after. Id place my bet for after

 

[Days like these...]

I guess it's finally time for me to get on board with this gen. Now if I can only find an Xbox.

 

[Kacho]

Gears 6 this year??

I'm just guessing. Gears 5 came out 100 years ago. We're due for a new game from Coalition.

 

[Shifty1897]

Even if Todd has burned me before, it's impossible not to get excited when he starts talking about his next game. I want to believe this is going to blow minds and push gaming forward in some way.

 

[Tomi]

Cgi?

 

[Thedtrain]

weapon attachments handled like BF2042. I kinda liked that system

A big seminal Bethesda RPG is an exciting thing, can't blame you at all.

Ah yeah.....I didn't see that guy running after you. Interesting.

 

[Raven77]

Kinda lameass video and dissapointed at not showing gameplay, but at least they got a date finally.

They literally showed gameplay... When Todd was rambling.

 

[Bragr]

Here we go motherfuckers, this is the big boi.

Bend over and take it like a man. Todd Howard is on the prowl, and he's coming for that ass.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Yes its getting shoved out the door

It kind of has to at this point. A game like this simply cannot be polished to perfection, and microsof cant keep kicking the can down the road. Eventually they just need to get it as best they can, brace themselves for backlash, and go into patching mode. Thats what cdpr had to with cyberpunk, that game needed another two years but that was not financially feasible for them

 

[adamsapple]

Rambling ? excuse you.

 

[Strider Highwind]

I got close lol. Oh well this date is two days before my birthday

 

[Balducci30]

Seems like there's lush vegetation at least

 

[Adam_802]

Lets gooo

 

[Saber]

They literally showed gameplay... When Todd was rambling.

I see like a camera on people playtesting or something?
Would be better if it was actual fullscreen gameplay. I think people even notice it was 60 fps I guess.

 

[StueyDuck]

Here ya go ya filthy animals. Game play.

Gameplay isn't necessarily what I'm interested in. More level/mission structure design.

We've seen "gameplay" before.

I'm very excited to see how they marry space/exploration/missions together.

My concerns are skyrim loading screens...

But we got those SSDs maaaan

 

[Roufianos]

Bet it gets delayed to November.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I'm just guessing. Gears 5 came out 100 years ago. We're due for a new game from Coalition.

I'm hoping it's Hellblade but my gut feeling is it will be last years delayed games along with Forza and the new Minecraft for the year.

 

[gothmog]

Well there we go. We can now all start betting about how much jank we should expect. I really hope it feels polished with the extra time and not like it is still coming in hot.

 

[pasterpl]

Anyway i hope it's final date and no more delays.

Ghost wire Tokyo, skylines 2, stalker 2 to name few additional games coming to gamepass this year. Then you have got redfall, starfield and forza motorsport. Starfield being Bethesda game is GOTY contender already.

 

[Saber]

I aways said that because its really expected from them, but you know what...I'm more concerned about the planet visit thing. I bet this will be the bread and butter of this game, as I think it will increase the longevity of this game. But that talk about using AI procedure leave me quite unease.
