Starfield next gen only - that's the good news.

Maybe another reason for 2022, simply not enough XSX out in the marketplace yet for the game to make the multi-million splash that a Bethesda RPG is used to making.

11.11.22 is not that far back.
Just another holiday season to go!

I wonder what kind of game this will be? More exploration than shooting aliens it seems?

I mean, if you believed this thing was actually gonna come out in 2021, that's on you. Nobody should be remotely surprised.
I believed that we would see more than an in engine cgi fest for a game that's coming out next year that's for sure.

Very interesting that they gave an exact date even though it's still so far from now. Usually for announcements that are 12+ months studios would only say "2022" or "late 2022".

The cynical part of me thinks it's because today Microsoft won't have all that much other stuff to announce with an exact date, but it might also be just an unrelated choice of communication strategy.

Pretty big leak so close to the show.

Cannot form any kind of opinion as no actual gameplay, but it seemed like a nice tease for something that’s sadly very far off.

it looks good, at least for the little we see.
but announcing a precise release date more than a year in advance? are they going to stick to it or move it?

AAA game development takes time plus covid affected dev cycle. People working are humans and they also care about their lives as well
COVID is always the excuse for these egregious release windows. Funny how it isn't an issue for the competition that's poised to release a total of 4 next-gen exclusive titles throughout all of 2021. Phil has been at the helm for 7 years and still hasn't put out a quality title. What's the next excuse going to be? A stubbed toe?

"No games"

Miles Morales
Returnal (PS5 only)
Ratchet and Clank (PS5 only)
Horizon (if not delayed)

That's the first 12 months, and I'm certainly missing some games. We'll know more in the next couple of weeks, when Sony has their show.

You have to understand that denial is the key to coping. Let them believe whatever they want, logic won't help.

PAUSE AT 8SECS FROM START

READ - EARLY ALPHA -INGAME FOOTAGE

BETHESDA STUDIOS NEVER DO CGI

It's an in-engine cinematic, there's nothing in-game about it. We might have to wait a while longer to see what the game looks like and what the gameplay entails.

Excited to get a release date but I was hoping for a bit more than what we got. I at least wanted a bit more info on what gameplay is going to be. Maybe we will get more than just that trailer in the show.

Kinda unusual to give out a date that is that far out. Can see it slipping into early 2023.

MS releases games on both Xbox and pc. Not like Sony where they release it years later on PC.

Good to know I don’t need a series X. Can use my PS5 for Sony’s exclusives and my PC for anything Microsoft puts out.

Is this going to be the case for all games or will their be a few exclusive Series X games?

Xbox console exclusive at least for the warriors still fighting that good fight 🤓. Coming out in over a year though. Damn.

It's probably not going to happen since this game was in development from before the acquisition, but I hope this game uses the full suite of Velocity Architecture features. The Series X really needs a technical showcase.
