Starfield Direct 2023 - Angry Reaction & Impressions!

AngryJoe, OtherJoe & Alex React and give their Impressions to the Excellent Starfield Direct Showcase 2023! We were REALLY Impressed! Here's to hoping it turns out great!

[DragonFireStrike]

I love that most of the reactions I see to this showcase begin with "Alright Todd what're you gonna try and sell me this time?" And end with "I want this game now."

[Iffy]

I can’t wait for someone to mod this into the Star Wars game we’ve deserved for the past twenty years.

"I used to be a space explorer, like you, then I took a laser bolt in the knee." - some security guard somewhere in Starfield, probably.

From what I hear the 'random generation system' is more of a hybrid system; Each planet has a set seed that its terrain is generated from (Mostly based on environmental factors such as distance from the sun, etc), they have tweaked worldspaces that get created and put together by this generation, and then handmade content such as structures and caves is added on top of the generation, creating an experience not unlike running across a cave full of bandits in Skyrim. At least that's my take on it.

This game is coming out before Star Citizen, that's insane.

[skjaldulfr]

I am glad the aesthetic is Nasa-punk instead of space high fantasy (Star Wars, Mass Effect.) I think it will be great to have a fantasy space game that feels a bit closer to reality.

[MrBambiGaming]

The thing is, even if 80 or 90% of the 1000 planets are empty that is a MASSIVE sandbox for modders to basically run wild with. I am so incredibly hyped to see this game, simply because I love Bethesda RPGs and I love how moddable they are.

[xCNDNBCNx]

I love the style of the game. Even the name 'NASA Punk' fits perfectly.
It has an advanced look while remaining something clearly made by humans, they nailed it.

[FalseShepherd]

This presentation was by far the Craziest i've seen this year the amount of people being involved and having them talk about the game and what they like and actually presentating it too makes me feel hype but imma try to control my expectations.

[caesarbarwary]

Holy shit imagine if they actually deliver this, like actually deliver it with all these systems/details intact without a monumental fuckup of a launch

[pillowburger]

I've gotta admit that the aspect of npcs thinking they're the only ones roaming space is super cool. Means that their planet has just barely achived space travel and you can say you're coming from a completely different universe that has already achieved space travel. Potentially helping that planet in its progress and what not

[TracksKellofMixtapes]

This almost feels like scifi grounded in reality. Seeing people relaxing on a beach. And the built up city. Feels like seeing the civilian side of mass effect.

[Vauhnn]

my favorite part is when joe doesnt pay attention a minute and then later on asks about the feature he just missed

[Braydzz]

This is the one reaction video that I am willing to rewatch the whole Starfield presentation to see.

[ShankYouKindly]

With the 1000 Planets as a foundation, the potential for this game is unprecedented. with both mods and DLC, I believe this game will last Decades.

[Mellypepper]

The fact they left open planets specifically for modders is both awesome and genius. The longevity of this game will increase ten fold with the modding community and I can not wait to mod my own planet! Please don’t let me down Bethesda!!

[voidox]

Todd has outright said that barren planets are also there for modders to do w.e they want with, so the modding scene is going to be amazing for this game with so much freedom and real estate to do things in.

[LucntiX]

If they can deliver half of what they want to implement, I'll be all over this one

[jamieharper]

I like joes take on this. You can tell he understands why the game is more reserved hopefully we can get a bit crazy in expansions

[tucci]

The models and texture resolution are a BIG step up. Really beautiful game. As long as they have a ton of content that pops up as you explore all the planets and it doesn't feel super repetitive or totally empty like so many other space games do, it'll be a huge success.
