a game that looks better than a cross gen game like HFW.
the engine sucks comment and flying being a mess to me means more than graphics. i can handle a game with mediocre graphics, but i was expecting to see some true next gen gameplay features. the fact that they are tied to that crap engine is very disappointing.
You are so full of it when it comes to this cross gen thing. You don't even know what it really means, I think. This idea that we haven't had scalable visuals for
decades is ridiculous.
BTW there is absolutely nothing in the Starfield trailer that looks "cutting edge" and that's never been what their games are about anyway. The artist is straight up saying it doesn't look as good as HFW, which as you know looks absolutely amazing. Shame about the game HFW itself though, IMO.
As you stated about Horizon here ->

"Well, in 30 fps mode it looks like the best looking game out right now so clearly the talent is there." - SlimySnake.
Of course the rest of your post after that is complete nonsense acting as if you have insight into the workings of a world class studio like GG. My favorite part is where you make a guess that the "seniors are on vacation" so all the "juniors are around and only know how to downgrade settings." That is some sharp insight there man. Phew. What a dizzying intellect.
But like I posted above, you did call HFW the best looking game around just a few weeks back. And now it's a lowly "cross gen" game. Sure. That makes tons of sense.
BTW if you know what "true next gen gameplay features" are, why don't you expound on that a bit? Since clearly you are smarter than every person in the industry, since absolutely no one can apparently meet your standards, and everyone is incompetent and lazy based on your posts. I mean good grief, what are you doing on a message board, when you could be absolutely cleaning up by making the best games the world has ever seen since?
Sorry, this was a bit harsh, but people who act in a ridiculous fashion are not cool.
If it's true to a typical BGS game it will be massive in scope and have a ton of game effecting decisions, interesting side quests, random encounters and unique exploration opportunities. When you have such a game on such a massive scale and with so much content, I don't expect it to have ultra-high graphic quality and lighting.
I agree with you, based on what little we've seen, they'll do a fine job on the visuals especially for such a huge project. Besides with BGS games, at least for me, the art direction is far more important than the number of pixels; it's always so damn immersive. Crappy as the quality is, FO3 has some of my favorite graphics in a game and I love the world of Oblivion and even Morrowind.
I think this is universally true. Bringing up Horizon again, the game is just astounding looking a lot of the time. Just go look in the screenshot thread. But I think Elden Ring is 10 times more interesting to look at (and play), even though it's technically far below what Horizon is doing. There is, IMO, just so much more creativity on display that it just stirs up the imagination and the desire to explore
far more than I got from playing HFW. I think Starfield will be just fine technically, but will hopefully be just full of that imagination and creativity I mentioned, that you see in all the very best games. And that's what will elevate the whole package. Along with the music.
What exactly does Finding the Fun mean??
It means they are trying to bring the game together in a way where they can make it fun to play. That to me is worrisome (games should have 'found the fun' pre alpha, not months from release!) but we've seen enough nonsense on the internet to not get too worried over one dude's opinion. Bethesda knows what they are doing obviously, so we just gotta have patience and wait and see. I wouldn't stress it.

said was right on the money IMO. It's going to be the great art direction that will hopefully push the game over the top. It's just a much more important factor in terms of getting pulled into the game world. So it doesn't matter if it's the most technically advanced game or not.
