that’s like saying The Last of Us is an Uncharted clone. it’s stupid.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Nothing is wrong with being inspired by NMS. It'll be space exploration and Bethesda RPG mechanics.

 

[March Climber]

that’s like saying Tomb Raider 2013 is an Uncharted clone. it’s stupid.

Fixed.

 

[Quixz]

People freaking out like taking inspiration from NMS is somehow bad.

 

[adamsapple]

Are we supposed to take this as a negative or .. ?

 

[SlimySnake]

Just goes to show how gamers no longer fully understand video games. Comparing No Mans Sky to Bethesda games is insulting and moronic.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

No Man's Sky looks more interesting tbh

 

[BennyBlanco]

No Mans Sky is awesome but it has no real narrative and very basic combat. Just a fun sandbox to screw around in.

 

[Three]

This is the no man sky remake? It does not show a generational leap. Jesus this is the remake no one asked For!

No Mans Sky Rimake

 

[Little Chicken]

How embarrassing is the video in that tweet.

Who gives a fuck what some fat cunts on twitter think, wake me up when No Man's Sky has half the narrative content Skyrim, 2011, does.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

I mean no one is taking this serious right…right

 

[Chronicle]

I can't see how space fallout is anything like pansyland no man's sky.

Well, Starfield started the development earlier though.

But in 4K it looks much better than in that stream (I miss Mixer now lol)

I think some WOW effect lost due to NMS. If NMS did not exist, we would be shocked by some of the stuff.

But still - it is Bethesda's game. So it is gonna be great RPG journey with a lot of mods.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Well, Starfield started the development earlier though.

I'm not sure - but I know gameplay from NMS were shown in 2013. When did the development on Starfield begin?

 

[Raonak]

Looks a lot like it.

 

[Kev Kev]

Are we supposed to take this as a negative or .. ?

im wondering the same. it seems an obvious comparison, but i dont know why people are making a big deal out of it

 

[RainblowDash]

I admit it looked pretty similar lol

 

[Lognor]

If you watched that video where they get off the ship and start laser shooting the walls to "mine" for resources and didn't think of NMS, then you haven't played NMS.

Gotta admit I did think of nms at that point, but I only got 15 minutes into nms because it was boring as hell. Starfield seems A LOT better than that bore fest nms.

 

[Sanepar]

There is no plot, quests or proper dialogs in NMS. It is just a world to waste time.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I'm not sure - but I know gameplay from NMS were shown in 2013. When did the development on Starfield begin?

The original idea appeared in 1997

 

[ReBurn]

Saying Breath of the Wild ripped off other open world games with grass in the could work, though. Gamers were arguing about grass back when Red Dead Redemption released on PS360. Maybe BOTW is a RDR ripoff.

 

[saintjules]

It is basically, except they have a huge budget. Hello Games is a indie studio in comparison. It should be better.

You never know though, No Man Sky 2 could be in the works, two can play this game Sean.

They should just keep updating the game as they have been. I don't think there's any need for a sequel if you go that route.

 

[balls of snow]

Nitpick gameplay. Show me the cities in no mans sky.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

The original idea appeared in 1997

Sure, but ideas change over time. We saw NMS in 2013 and Starfield in 2022.

 

[bitbydeath]

NMS is a great game that lacks in the narrative space, if a smaller scoped version leads to a better narrative then I can’t see how that could be considered as a negative.

Hopefully Bethesda pulls it off.

 

[adamsapple]

I agree with the message on a fundamental level.

But there were countless other open world grassy games before BoTW came out lol.

 

[EDMIX]

Whether one took inspiration from the other means nothing and should be nothing. This shouldn't generate any negative headlines or stoke any fanboy wars.

Both I'm sure are fantastic games in their own right and highlights the fact we need more of these types of space based exploration games.

I'd have both. I will have both.

Same.

 

[Warnen]

Skyrim fucked no man sky and Starfield was born. Fine with me, story was the main thing missing from no man sky when I played it.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Yes a game with zero story is just like the game which heavily relies on story

 

[saintjules]

I admit it looked pretty similar lol

I'm surprised people are doubting the similarity.

I'm more curious about the 1000+ planets. No way you can make storyline out of all of that. Generating random events on all of them or something?

Be careful nms is not 18 yet

[sainraja]

Why are you immediately reading ill-intent in these comparisons? The first thing I thought of while watching the stream live was "I'm getting real NMS vibes here. . .and I love it!"

. . .like, I get it if you think the intent behind the comparison is to suggest creative laziness on the part of BETHESDA (which is insane), but I'm not getting that at all - at least from the IGN Tweet.

Some people can be very insecure about things they like so they automatically do that.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Maybe one of the crewmembers mentioned that you can hire will be someone that goes out and mines all the minerals and stuff. That way I don't have to do it myself.
I have no idea if NMS does that or not.

 

[MarkMe2525]

This is what I wanted NMS to be. Games aren't created in a vacuum, of course Bethesda is going to take inspiration from NMS, Elite Dangerous, Mass Effect, etc...

Maybe one of the crewmembers mentioned that you can hire will be someone that goes out and mines all the minerals and stuff. That way I don't have to do it myself.
I have no idea if NMS does that or not.

You can hire a few people but they just stand at their posts and are really there to open up upgrade trees.

 

[jroc74]

Its understandable. It did cross my mind watching the stream.

Agree.

Like that indie game that was giving ppl Portal vibes.

Everything isnt immediately console wars.

No Man's Sky has come a long way since launch.

This is more important thing. It really has.

 

[RPSleon]

If i was them id be lining up nms for a release on ps plus or just good discounts to use this starfield hype.

 

[March Climber]

There is no plot, quests or proper dialogs in NMS. It is just a world to waste time.

Still playing that Offline day 1 edition huh.

 

[MightySquirrel]

One looks and likely plays like a modern AAA megahit with an amazing compeling story and awesome characters and the other well, if I'm being nice like an ancient ps3 game with below garbage tier ps2 gameplay and even worse on the rails flight mechanics.

If you put full size 4K images side by side it gets obvious that only certain individs would compare them to feel better for a second trying to convince that they're even remotely similar quality games.

 

[Magic Carpet]

There is no plot, quests or proper dialogs in NMS. It is just a world to waste time.

Ah so now we are comparing it to Elden Ring.

 

[MightySquirrel]

There’s clearly similarities. I will admit I’ve never played No Man’s Sky, but being pretty familiar with previous Bethesda games, I’d imagine Starfield will have No Man’s Sky beat when it comes to story, amount of dialogue, and combat.

Honestly you're very lucky to not experience that garbage. Just imagine a ps2 game in '22 with terrible robotic animations, on rails flight, clipping everywhere, patheticaly low pollies everywhere even for ps2 game, add terrible art style and bam 2/10 game.

 

[lughnasadh123]

No Man's Sky-like? lite? Definitely gave me that initial vibe for a moment. It's not a bad thing.

 

[MightySquirrel]

The identical comparison would be Tomb Raider 1996 and Uncharted 4.

 

[March Climber]

So you have also not played the game. Awesome.

 

[Captain Toad]

You should write a full review of your 15 minutes with the game.

 

[Max_Po]

not really impressed with Starfeild... and my interest level is even lower..


don't or never cared for No Man's Sky either....and also I tried No Man's Sky numberous time after the hyped up upgrades.

 

[MightySquirrel]

So you have also not played the game. Awesome.

I most definitely tried it sadly and not many years ago either. It's literaly like comparing Tomb Raider 96' with Uncharted 4. In tiny still images where you can't see or feel the trash tier gameplay it doesn't look that bad.

 

[bitbydeath]

Which game are you saying has on-rails flight?

 

[Rivet]

But who gets the "Molyneux Game Overhyping Award" ? Sean Murray or Todd Howard ?

Jokes aside, that's a dumb comparison. It's really apples and oranges. Starfield looks far closer to Fallout or Skyrim in space. It has the space exploration and base building similar to NMS, but really it's not the same kind of games at all.

 

[MightySquirrel]

Which game are you saying has on-rails flight?

Not My Sky . Worst controls I came across in a flight game yet, by far.
