Refund is an option, but that isn't the entire planet. Just that single landing zone.

Driver updates are common for most notable new releases, doesn't necessarily mean DLSS.

A planet is made out of tiles. I saw a video where someone walked in a straight line til the edge of a tile and then speed up the video to not make it boring. That last bit is kinda the point most seem to miss with this concern. It’s a long walk. You’re not really going to want to walk that far, take your ship if you want to traverse further away to another point of interest, see it like using fast travel in any other open world game.
As always it would’ve been better to outright explain it in detail. Most games have these types of borders. It’s no big deal. Skyrim is just a tiny part of the planet Nirn too, with borders keeping the player inside one tile, can’t walk to Morrowind. You can take a boat to the Morrowind island Solstheim though, with a short load. Similar to what we have here but we use the spaceship.
This is not going to be a problem unless you want it to be a problem.
For me it just solves the mystery why there are no surface vehicles and why you can’t fly the spaceship over the planet surface. They want to keep the player inside these tiles, probably adding points of interests near the center to not have the player reaching the edges, then making the traversal slow and the tiles big enough that most, but obviously not all, will rather take the spaceship to another location when stuff is further away.
Anyway, can’t wait, 4 more days!

I hit my first very little hype cockblocker. Apparently there are A LOT of loading screens. I hated that in Fallout 4. Let’s hope these are quick…

So what graphics can i expect with a 1070 running at 2GHz?

GeForce 1070 Ti is listed in minimum requirements on Steam. It won't be pretty.

Sure, but my 1070 has more bandwidth than a stock RX 7600
Same amount of RAM
Less compute power for sure.
I hate those requirements that just list stuff and don't even tell you what setting you get.

Streaming is always an option. Or just get a Series console.

My plan on Friday is to play the start on my Series S just for the lulz. I expect nothing less than total hilarity. Then I'm gonna go into town and buy an X. The S is a neat little machine but it's limitations are getting more noticeable.

I have a Series S. But that console will probably perform worse.
Half the pixel fill rate.
Half the texture fill rate.
Half the compute power.

If you're subbed to GP, no harm in downloading on both your PC and console, they will be cross-save compatible as well.

Yeah for sure.
People just need to figure out what PC setting are to be turned down and what setting better keep up for best performance and image quality.
But I believe native 1440p will be hard. Full HD with High setting I'm not worried at all. But I want more.

1440p maxxxxxed out on my PC. Make it sweat baby!

16 less times the detail
Whats your specs?
And how do you reckon a 5700x. 3070 and 32gb ram will hold up?

The Outer Worlds had these kind of "cells". On a planet, there might be 2 or 3 landing spots, but you would need to hop between them by getting into your ship again.
(or maybe you could fast travel between them - at any rate, you couldn't walk from one to the other)

31 dollars for paying it early? And the game is still a rental then?

We’re so close. I can almost taste it. My ghetto office temporary TV setup is ready. I’ll lock myself in that room.

Yeah the hype is growing.

And for the first time in a very, very long time, Xbox is about to launch the biggest console exclusive of the year—bigger than Sony’s Spider-Man 2, bigger than Nintendo’s The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom.
In a year full of massive game releases—Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, Baldur’s Gate 3, etc. etc.—none are as hotly-anticipated as Starfield, Bethesda’s answer to the question: “What if Skyrim, but in space?”

Will Xbox Leave PlayStation In Starfield’s Glittering Space Dust?
It’s been a long time coming, but Starfield is almost here and Microsoft is poised to fire its first major shot at Sony's rival PlayStation.

Damn.....it was so nice celebrating this exciting game without any console warrior nonsense. Oh well. You can always count on Forbes.
