I’m sorry but that was like next level disappointing…I can’t be alone in that right??? Graphics look awful, gameplay is janky as hell, NPC’s animation looks like Bethesda has made no effort to change, and parts of it straight up rip off No Man’s Sky…The main planet they show is so gray and plain looking and the game seems challenged even rendering that.
I’m willing to give it a chance and say in time it can be improved but wow I couldn’t be more underwhelmed.
As with most Bethesda titles, some *really* fucking interesting things on display combined with what looks like pretty dated gameplay mechanics/graphics.
Super worried about the Creation Engine though, because a lot of this stuff looks like re-skinned FO4. If I can’t run it above 60fps without major issues, I’m gonna be incredibly disappointed.
I’m looking forward to it, not many big budget space exploration games. I like the idea of setting up an outpost on some planet that you like out of the 1000, and customizing your ship. Flying and space combat looked dope.
The FPS combat itself looked pretty weak though. I don’t know what they have against VATs, I wish Bethesda leaned more into that direction with essentially turn based FPS combat. Could have made it a lot more cinematic. Instead we get crappy FPS mechanics where you don’t even need to ADS it looks like. I also saw zero skills or abilities so it’s just gonna be running around shooting and throwing grenades again (a la Fallout).
Didn’t have much hope for this game but this looks like it could be really good it’s going to depend on how they handle the whole 1000 exploration planets thing. If it feels artificial the game is going to suck, but Bethesda is great at making their games fun to explore so I have hope.
I was so hopeful when they showed just the one solar system with a few planets. I thought “yes, finally, a contained universe with CONTENT, not that stupid procedural crap.”
Ugh! Fuck its been so long since i have seen a game and really *wanted* to play it. Some of it looks pretty janky but it doesnt really matter to me. If they keep all the promises it will be a pretty sick game in 2025.
I’ll be honest and say it looks rough. Muzzle flashes showing after the firing animation, bullet trails coming from the eyes and not the muzzle of the gun.
I personally wouldn’t have presented it in this state. That’s not to say it probably won’t be good, but it feels more like a Vertical Slice rather than something you’d show to the public.
I might not exactly be in the target audience if the focus is more on the exploration and less on the RPG & Story. What made Mass Effect so great was that the galaxy wasn’t empty before you arrive there & the squad and crew. Garrus is still my favorite companion out of all the RPGs I’ve played.
Spaceship creation and exploration look intriguing, and quite beautiful. The soundtrack sounds REALLY good. The voice acting sounds better and the facial animations look better, than it ever has. Although they still have the weird fixing their faces straight onto you. The fps combat doesn’t look very impressive. Maybe fun jetpacks for a little bit, but I imagine in a game of this scale it will get very repetitive. For a game that demands so much time from you I expect them to make the combat more interesting, rather than point click at AI that are standing still and shouting angry things at you. Think mass effect 2 and it’s brilliant update to the combat from the first one. This game needs more variance in combat with abilities and skills that actually change the flow of combat.
It’s a Skyrim/Fallout hybrid set in space. Not particularly exciting for people who’ve been playing these games for decades. It’s the same structure. The same mechanics. You gather resources, there’s several factions you can join, multiple choice dialogue, a skill point system, standard gun combat… it’s not bad. It just feels like I’ve played this game before. It checks all the usual boxes… Oh and the engine is the same as well. And it shows. Plastic-looking humans, nothing has real weight in the game. The facial expressions got improved I guess.
I’m sure it’ll sell well.
Whatever. Maybe I’m getting old so this stuff just doesn’t do it for me anymore. Anyone around 30 feeling the same way?
Gameplay looked a little choppy, and visuals reminded me of slightly better Fallout/Skyrim. Gunplay seems basic. And ffs when will these companies have someone with tons of testing experience play the demo scenes. The way it looks is like they’re playing it for the first time
What really won me over is base customization, ship customization, space fights, and a massive universe to play in. I’ll hold off from any criticisms when it comes to the 1000 planets until we learn more about it. It could be super cool or very…bland. Bland planets mean nothing if there isnt anything to do there, outside of gathering minerals
I’ve been itching for a star citizen-ish game that actually has something interesting to do in it.
They didn’t show you controling takeoff and landing which is worrying. Would be disappointing if when you get close to a planet a window pops up asking you where you’d like to land.
Also 1000 planets? The big scale worries me as it screams “EMPTY”. I’d much prefer one solar system, 7-8 planets that are all have their own unique culture, people, factions, politics, multiple city’s/town within a planet as I fear that it’ll just be one big city per Goldilocks planet with the rest of it empty apart from mission locations.

This game feels ten years too late to me. It is at best an amalgam of games I’ve already played and got burnt out on. Nothing original or outside of the box. Sorry but not sorry.
Looks like a game from 2014 with half decent lighting. Can’t believe this is the standard of gaming that comes out in 2023, especially when we had a game like RDR2 come out in 2018. Totally regressive industry
Will they ever throw away that crusty game engine?
I’m sure it won’t release with 1000 bugs either…
I think it looks fun.
Folk get so negative so quickly these days.
Very very whelming.
40k mod! Here we come.
1000 planets is pretty interesting.
Knowing Bethesda that is 100 interesting planets – which is cool.
Okay, seeing some interesting stuff, going to tentatively say I’m interested.
So it’s Fallout/Elder Scrolls in space.
I’m cool with that.
I’m sorry but that was like next level disappointing…I can’t be alone in that right???

I’m willing to give it a chance and say in time it can be improved but wow I couldn’t be more underwhelmed.
So it looks dope, but I shall forever call this “No Man’s Skyrim”
I can’t wait to play 20 years of re-releases of this game. No that was not sarcasm.
A big old Meh from me.

Not gonna lie guys. This doesn’t look that great, unfortunately.

Then they zoomed out….
“Fuck”
Its really disappointing that space and the planets surface arent one continued area. Space is just a minigame to go from one planet to another

The gunplay and dogfighting look stiff af

I can’t believe they’re still going to be doing weekend at bernie’s with the gamebryo engine in the year 2023
I can’t wait for when this is 50% off!
“Tell me lies tell me sweet little lies”
Gonna get down voted by fan boys but man. The fighting looks awful I hate seeing enemies health bars as if I was playing league of legends.
Cool, they’re getting close to another Elder Scrolls game!

Naturally I’m ready to be proven incorrect

“Wow, this looks pretty cool. Now let’s check the comments to find out why I’m supposed to hate this”
-My inner monologue.
This game feels ten years too late to me. It is at best an amalgam of games I’ve already played and got burnt out on. Nothing original or outside of the box. Sorry but not sorry.
Ehhhh, not impressed
Yet another game overhyped that will never live up to it.
They annouce games wayyyyyy to early and people build up expectations in their heads over time and eventually disappointment comes with the product.
It happened to cyberpunk aswell
TES6 died for this
