we first heard about Starfield all theway back in 2018 and ever since thenthrough tiny little tidbits dropped hereand there through brief trailers behind the scenes videos and more we’ve beengiving a startlingly little amount ofinformation on what to expect fromBethesda game studios first new IP in 25years at the recent Xbox game showcasethough the studio closed the show withthe Starfield direct presentation whichwas a mammoth 45-minute showcase takinga ridiculously comprehensive Deep diveinto every aspect of the space-faringRPG a Cavalcade of new details haveemerged on Starfield as a result andhere we’re going to go over all of thekey talking points obviously there’s alot to get into so let’s just jumpstraight into itstory detailsSTORY DETAILSwhile the full extent of starfield’sstory obviously remains to be seen we’vebeen given a pretty good idea of howit’ll kick off and what the centralthrust will be your story will begin inthe city of New Atlantis you meet withthe members of a group calledconstellation by this point in timeconstellation is seen by the massesalmost as a sort of mythical group ofSpace Explorers though many aren’t evenaware of their existence anymore theycontinue to try and find the answers tosome of Humanity’s biggest and mostimportant questionsthat ties in with your story nicelybecause early on in the story you comeinto contact with a mysterious artifactthat gives you strange Visions uponmeeting with constellation you learnthat this artifact is part of a set withthe others of its kind scatteredthroughout the Galaxy and cruciallyenough these artifacts were made by anintelligence that existed outside of thesettled systems hunting down theseartifacts will be your main goal andyou’ll be doing so with an Eclectic castof characters including Sarah Morgan aformer Soldier and current leader ofconstellation Noel A Gifted scientistand saris Protege Walter a successfulbusinessman and the constellationsfinancier ex-pirate Vlad the formerSpace Cowboy Samco and many morestar map the star map in your ship willSTAR MAPserve as the Hub throughout which you’llbe charting all of your coursesthroughout the settled systems the starmap can show all relevant information onevery planet as well as all theresources that you can find on it whileusing the map you can either fast travelto known locations or choose a specificlanding spot on a more

thoughjumping to the systems that are reallyfar away will need you to make moreappropriate upgrades to your shipcities and factionsCITIES AND FACTIONSexploring varied and unique cities andsettlements is always the big part ofthe charm of Bethesda RPGs and it seemsStarfield is taking that to the nextlevel the game’s Flagship City so tospeak is new Atlantis which is thebiggest city Bethesda game studios hasever made for any game in terms of sizecustom art its crowds the quests andactivities at houses and moreof course different cities throughoutthe settled systems will also be alignedwith different factions which is alsoanother one of bgs’s Hallmarks newAtlantis for instance is the capitalcity of the United Colonies and as thefirst major human settlement in space itholds up the law discipline and thelegacy of the human race Above All Elsethe city of cydonia on Mars is anotherUnited Colony City and serves as amassive Mining facility Beyond UC spacethe settled systems are much much morewild and independent with one of themore prominent factions here being theFreestar Collective their capital isAquila city which is basically the WildWest in space while former fishingplatform neon is now widely known as apleasure City where almost anything goesplenty of other hostile factions havealso been briefly mentioned by Bethesdaincluding zeelots who are devoted tosomething they call the Great Serpent agroup of space pirates known as theCrimson Fleet and morePROCEDURAL CONTENTprocedural contentStarfield is going to have literallyover a thousand planets for players tovisit and explore and while the game isgoing to have a massive amount ofhandcrafted content plenty of what youfind in the subtle systems will be usingprocedural generation techniques so howexactly will that work well essentiallyas you approach a planet the game willprocedurally generate a wide variety ofelements it will stitch together blocksof terrain at various points of interestto populate the planet with a variety ofFlora and Fauna for players to find andstudy and interact with resources toharvest and more however this proceduralgeneration system will also populatethese planets with handcrafted contentso you’ll never know what you mightencounteroutpostsOUTPOSTSwhen you’re out exploring planets you’llalso have the option to establishoutposts where Starfield will be takinga page out of Fallout

servedifferent purposes assigning crew andcompanions more on this in a bit to youroutposts will help with their upkeep andyou’ll also be able to installextractors that Harvest resources whileyou’re

Interiors of youroutposts and their habitats in a varietyof ways you can also add crafting andresearch stations to spend yourresources on unlocks and on NewCreationsflora and faunaFLORA AND FAUNAa big part of the thrill in spaceexploration games on paper at least isbeing able to land on different planetsand seeing all of their wondrous andalien sights so what can we expect fromStarfield on that front plenty it seemsusing your scanner you’ll be able tolearn more about the native species ofplants and animals that you find onplanets and if you fully survey a planetor a whole system you’ll get specialrewards Bethesda says that whilecreating the native Flora and Fauna ofeach planet it’s set out to designsomething that would feel authentic butstill look like something you’ve neverseen before which can feel like they’retruly native to their surroundingswithout necessarily having to lookexplicitly alien bgs has taken a similarapproach to designing the planetsthemselves the development team

looking like it’s going to play ahost to an overwhelming amount ofgorgeous Vistas throughout its massivemap it seems ripe for many photo opshappily enough Bethesda has confirmedthat the game will indeed have a photomode at launch the developer hasn’tdropped any details on what features wecan expect from the mode but hopefullythose will come in the coming weeks andmonthstechnical detailsTECHNICAL DETAILShow will Bethesda game studios game willfare on a technical level is always abig question and unsurprisingly such isthe case with Starfield as well how muchof an improvement it’ll be over past bgstitles is something we’ll only really beable to determine after we’ve goneHands-On with the game ourselves but thedeveloper has spoken about plenty ofimprovements that have been made on thetechnical fronts the game uses a newlighting model that utilizes real-timeGlobal illumination and lights theworlds based on the type of thatparticular planet star and the makeup ofits atmosphere with a particularemphasis being put on cinematic lightingthere’s also a new animation systemthough how much the faces and facialanimations will be improved remains tobe seen30 FPSthis is perhaps the one detail that’sbeen revealed about Starfield by bgsthat’s bound to disappoint quite a fewpeople on both Xbox series X and S thegame will be locked at 30 FPS with a 4Kresolution on the former and 1440p onthe ladder the lack of a 60fps option issurely a disappointing one if notentirely surprising for a game of thesize and scope on the plus side Bethesdadoes say the frame rate will be lockedat 30 FPS and if that is indeed the casewe can at least look forward to stableperformance without any dips here’shoping that actually happenshey did you know that we had gamingbolts upload new
