I have been flooded with comments from my subscribers about me being in Starfield. They have all seemed to have gotten that conclusion from the tiny incident in space where someone asks the main ship pilot if they want to come over ... I think.. for lunch? and it says "grandma" beside their ship. I have been telling everyone "NO I am not in this game!!" I finally am telling them it may be just a "nod" . I don't know what else to do or say to my commenters!!! It is taking up a LOT of time!!! Is there anything else I should say to them to make them STOP?

Sandwich-stealing Bethesda lady knows what we as a community are about. She gets it.

Starfield feels like Mass effect meet Elite dangerous meet Fallout and TES games, if everything we see here is actualy in the game and functional, that's gonna be crazy

[murasaki]

Man, Starfield looks a lot more polished than what we saw last year. I'M HYPED!

[Ben__David]

Everyone who played Oblivion knows why 1:51:55 is such a nice addition to Starfield

[Dr.Strangelewd]

Well Starfield actually looks like what I wanted from such a game. Hope there's a lot of radio chatter in space, just like in Freelancer.

Imagine blowing up Grandma's ship ☠

Starfield looks amazing, I love the deep RPG mechanics, I love that it has the traditional Bethesda feel whether you want to relax or go out and create chaos

I'm 40, been waiting my entire life for a game like this.

[Polluticorn]

Starfield looks beautiful and fun. It sounds like the team has a lot of passion for the game. I can't wait to play it!

[NintendoMania]

Okay, I wasn't expecting anything from starfield but this looks insane

[lokeleenP]

I am overwhelmed after the starfield showcase can't sink in everything I need the game asap. The combat looks so much better after the ID Software coming in for help great step

[Campr]

If Starfield look this good, I can't wait for Elder Scrolls 6.

[tomvankouwen]

Simply amazing. I thought that my gaming era would be over as games were not able to amaze me anymore, but this looks impressive. I am glad that there's still passionate game designers out there

[nickc]

What the freak did I just watch? Mind blown. Just straight up blown. Amazing show and WOW. I'm straight-up hyped.

02:10:24 The most important bit in whole amazing and deep showcase. They finally reveal the most relevant technical details about world generation. If I understand it correctly, all the systems, stars, planets and terrain are pregenerated. However everything "interesting" on each planet is generated as the player explores. Here is why this bit is important. 1) As a core technology for all upcoming games: it enables greater replayability and some interesting storytelling on a massive scale. 2) Depending on implementation this can be a blessing or a complete ruin for modding 3) Depending on how rigorous is this system it might be a bugfest and could be very hard to fix. 4) They said nothing about generation of creatures, vegetation and locations, which might be a concern, hopefully will be revealed later.

I'm looking back at this showcase to see why people are saying Todd lied and can't find anywhere that they said/demonstrated that you could seamlessly go into planets. It seems that they showed everyone what it was going to be like, and people just assumed it would be like other games. Since that is the case then that's on the person themselves for thinking that.

[wrathoftheflyingspaghettim]

I'm so ready for starfield it really looks like THE definitive space game. I always found it hard to get into stuff like no man's sky or elite dangerous and a lot of other stuff is like well it's set in space I guess but it's whatever but this is just triple A space exploration complete with story and full rpg elements. And I'm so excited to see how much of the real world stuff there will be. They showed Mars and alpha centauri and for space nerds this is huge that you have stuff like that. Are we gonna be able to go to our own moon? Or Jupiter's moons? I don't expect much from earth itself I'm honestly not sure what to expect from size of planets in the first place but maybe we can get earth in ruins or something. And to see where their imagination goes with what might be at alpha centauri will be awesome. And then outside of just those 2 star systems there's a whole universe of a game to see. I'm so excited. I'm also very interested to see this supernatural power stuff we are getting small glimpses of. Which I'm fine with them including I don't think it takes too much away from any realism the game is going for and if anything I prefer to have it in.

Can't wait for modders to start turning Starfield in to halo or 40k warhammer

It feels like everything I love about Bethesda games, married with loves from Elite Dangerous, No Man’s Sky, and I freaking love the art direction. I could not be more amped up for this game — I am booking 3-4 days PTO starting with September 6th, and setting up a food delivery budget. I gotta get ahead of my exercise plan pronto.
