this video feels like a conversation in Fallout when everyone is talking in settlement
Literally thought the same thing
Painful to watch for sure.
Speaking of which, there's a settlement that needs your help. I'll mark it on your map.
Needs an oblivion music edit. The camera zooming into their faces when they start talking. Dialogue options being chosen.
@@Salmagros😂😂
We've been playing early access all these months
That why you should no pre-order game or buy a game without reading or watching a review
@@Nyto242I agree but starfield is more than 6 months old so
Wait people are still playing starfield ?
Gamepass sorted that issue for me
@@anarchyanna yes its pretty Fun, Bethesda did a Nice work on Guns there
The starfield update sounded great until my eyes wandered onto the beautiful Power Armor behind them..
Fallout 76 is much better amirite?
Sigh... give us the next fallout singleplayer already
@@RohinBhaumik Sorry but we here at Bethesda cannot give our IP's to other developers due to quality reasons. As everyone knows New Vegas was a poor quality title that has stained the legacy of Fallout
@@RhubarbRehab no
@@odg1190 Ooof. Bro shot Bethesda in between the eyes. Bethesda never understood Fallout to begin with.
As someone who enjoyed city maps and markers in my games for the past 20 years or so, I'm really excited for the starfield players to finally get and enjoy this feature
underrated comment
Goated comment
disabled brain
Truly a revelation.
HAHAHA You're killing me.🤣
Well those changes are actually great and useful. The thing is those things should’ve been available since day 1.
Exactly that
But they waited for feedback instead so what. At least they are doing it now
@@rcash3625 like the guy said. The changes are great. They shouldn’t have needed to wait for feedback
Precisely. Especially maps. This is quality of life stuff.
Really feels like this game needed another year in the oven, lol. Especially with the 60fps mode on Xbox.
A map for the cities? This is groundbreaking.
This is the innovative bethesda we all know. Next year, basic AI for companions !
Give them some credit. It took all of their brain power to come up with this
🤣
An over opinionated toolbag with an anonymous account?? Groundbreaking....
Game of the decade right there!
...The year is 2330 we now travel the stars...and look we just invented maps
The year is 2077 and some how customising a car is somehow impossible
@@bloodrival2 what?
@@TheRoguePrince0You do not customize a car in most games, not even in most open world games with cars. People have been complaining about the map issue because it is usually a basic feature. So the 2 are not really comparable instances
@@TheRoguePrince0 1400hp car only does 200mph when a 2022 hellcat with 700hp can do 250mph. Cyberpunks cars are atrociously bad.
And land vehicles!!
Ah, cool to see Starfield is slowly leaving early access and getting close to a full release.
All you people have is hyperbole. Why not just talking about the game sincerely? If you think this game feels like an early access game… play more early access games.
@@dachshund_gaming well if you where actually smart, you’d realize they’re saying they don’t want a fully released game to feel like an early access game
@@noahsaboliauskas7753 and if you _were_ smart, you’d realize that I’m saying Starfield doesn’t feel like an early access game.
@@dachshund_gaming Dude they shipped a game with non functional city maps. Do you remember Skyrim? They're 12 years behind themselves when it comes to quality. That's one of several staggeringly poorly thought out systems in the game.
@@Sku11King77 they also shipped the game with a fully functional ship builder, multiple faction questlines, numerous side quests, robust ship combat and gunplay - there is a huge amount of content in Starfield. Starfield isn’t “early access” just because it lacks some small quality of life features like map icons for shops. Do you know what early access is?
Jokes aside, some of these changes are really welcome into the game, despite taking 7 months to release them and the fact that they should have come in 1.0
jokes aside, anyone who still cares about this game is a joke
@@shrek_yourself You should shrek yourself :)
This video reminds me of one those corny job training videos
She's "super excited"
The only thing that would bring me back to Starfield is if they added literally a hundred new random points of interest that could be spawned onto the planets when "exploring", rather than what feels like 4..... Abandoned Mining Facility, Abandoned Robotics Factory, Abandoned Research Lab, cave.
I'm hoping Shattered Space will be a new area/galaxy that's not procedural, if they do that I'm heading back in
@@benjamincrouch2852 Sure that'd be more than welcome, but it better be the size of at least Fallout 3 otherwise I'll be done exploring five minutes after installing lol
Okay. Okay. How about more enemies on more planets? Less literally completely empty caves?
They might give you two extra enemies at Max 😂
needs more combat for sure. the combat on this game is pretty lame. just clunky feeling.
@@whysoserious4464Max is tripping. Wait, who’s Max?
hoping shattered space dlc has some large areas to explore
How about adding the ability to ACTUALLY FLY SHIPS INSTEAD OF FAST TRAVELING
This honestly looks like a conversation in a quiet bar at 3 o'clock in the afternoon when the barmaid decides to talk to her only two customers because there's nothing else to do and feigns interest for tips
This was oddly specific David. 🤔
And if she were emoting anymore than that y'all would have been like "bethesda over hyped as usual" Nothing they can do will win you over, just give up already.
@@Sho_Ishto Speaking from experience i'd say😂
@@nfals6134he’s talking about you buddy lol
That dialogue camera OFF option is what got my attention!
Yes it’s so cool !! And the ground vehicle teaser
It sounds like a small change, but could really change the feel of the game.
Wish bg3 had it
@@zaneomega2 Ermm what? BG3 is a top-down game. Why'd you want the camera off??
How bout not having entire planets with one city. No loading screens. More diverse caves and outposts.
Remake the entire engine ? Lol, Just wait for star Citizen to launch, It's going to do that, but It will take a lot of time
youre asking them to recreate the game at that point
CIG will make it happen
@@LuizJambok be waiting forever on that one
@@donniebentley6813 yeah, People have to understand that having this and that, that and this, costs time and time is money, it will take time...however, you can now try the Star Citizen alpha, spending 45 dollars and suffering a wipe with each major update
yes space cars to drive around no more 30 min walks
My dude sipping coffee
Sipping on the tears of gamers everywhere
@@lfdrumming7804 it only negatively impacts them as a company when they do poorly, so he's probably sipping his own tears.
come on whats the big deal? It helps make the whole thing seem fun and casual and spontaneous! And Definitely not a scripted interview!
Probably said women in his head then sips coffee 😂
Hahahahahajjajaaaa
Land vehicles YES please!
Wow 60 fps mode is big!
For console? It wasn’t 60?
@elchancho8432 No it wasn't unfortunately Glad it will be now
Really? Love it
@@elchancho8432 Nope, kinda embarrassing to expect people to play a 'next gen' first person shooter at 30 fps.
@@dislexicpotatoespecially on the console generation that advertised 4k 60 fps
Bethesdevs: Sir, so how much Loading Screens do we cram in this? Tod: ABSOLUTELY.
Bethesda needs to create two teams to work on two projects. Maybe it's time to hand over the reigns to someone other than Todd.
Cry about it
More loading = more immersion! Bethesda logic. Rockstar and other devs seem to have no issues with minimizing loading for massively detailed open worlds.
It's not that bad if you have an SSD, it is still annoying sometimes obv.
16 TIMES THE LOADING SCREENS
She got a nice community behind her
Don't even try she probably into girls
....... I'd eat it
Yes she does!! 😏
ahaha...you!
Men of culture, UNITE.
Came for the update stayed for the cake
Lol was looking for this
Lol Yesss
😂 factsss
Cake? What cake?
makes sense why shes really there. boosting male morale.
7 months for city map 😂
And markers
dont forget the markers😂
give them some slack they're a small group of indie devs 🙄
@@REGGIENOX Actually a small group of indie devs can make a bigger, better game in less time and budget. They are just a bunch of incompetent fuc*s
They added 60 fps for consoles which was needed because it was only at 30fps
Biggest gripe for the game was either how goody goody the main characters all are and how they shame you every time you do something they don't like, and the lack of decent clothing options for characters.
Oh wow you finally managed to make the map work like a map
"60 FPS isn't possible." they said.
It's possible on any console except they don't want to lower the consoles graphics
Todd Howard said that in some areas it would've been 60 fps without an fps cap in some areas, but they capped for consistency. Digital Foundry tested the PC equivalent of a Series X and was able to hit 60 fps in various areas.
Wasn't possible at that time, they've since had 7 months to optimize and bugfix.
Yet the game ran fine for console on release and had the least amount of bugs for any Bethesda game ever. Digital Foundry concluded it was possible 6 months ago.
I'm actually excited for this "land vehicle", get that working, get them to release Creation Kit and we're golden!
60fps on xbox, land vehicles, and so much more.. Starfield will keep getting better and better.
3:50 no joke, the biggest one for me
How about no loading screens and allow us to explore 200x more?
"You have reached the edge of the map"
That would be Star Citizen
@@BlackFisssh_ Star Citizen's engine is much heavier on the CPU. That's why it will never be available on consoles.
@@meko264 OK? That's why you will have Squadron 42.
Baby steps my friend. This is Bethesda after all.
Community manager got a dump truck
Cameraman knew wassup
All of this should have been there from the beginning
then stop pre ordering your games you ghoul
Is starfield ver 1.0 yet?
How about planets being less empty. It would be nice for planets to have more things to on them or things to discover. I'm glad to hear land vehicles are coming.
Did you watch the video? They are working on ground vehicles
Stop going to empty planets? You literally pick where you wanna go
@@lionvstuna4015 A lot of people on the internet reply or comment on things they don't actually engage with Some legit just like to complain
Ahhhh classic “comment before watching” response. KZhead comments you’ve done it again
@@lionvstuna4015 You're right, ground vehicles are going to fill out the entire planets that only have one habitable city on them
Let's make an exploration game that has terrible exploration, it just works.
If they give creators the tools and means to create their own planets from the ground up the possibilities are limitless to what can be possible with this game.
No one is going to do it because the modders are not interested in the game. It's Boooring
seems they already provided the tools for some CCs as a beta, so that is definitely soon
These are all great updates but it's genuinely baffling how all of these things weren't in the game already. No one thought to put respecing options in an RPG? Or a functional map? Or a land vehicle on a giant space exploration game? Huh?
This is awesome but they definitely should think about adding new settlements and factions!!!!!
Спасибо разработчикам за то, что продолжают радовать нас крутыми играми. Не обращайте внимания на хейт вокруг вашей игры, ваш продукт, без преувеличения, великолепен!!! FRWL
Them:Its an update. Her:Thats amazing.
Why do they have to pretend to be interviewed by someone, it's so disingenuous. Obviously it's all scripted, even the hellos and goodbyes, it's all acted. Its so sterilized and impersonal, just be natural why fake an interview, it's like watching a TV commercial for a new pain relief cream. "Can you hold this coffee so it looks more natural" This is what happens when Developers turn into Coca-Cola.
I’m sure you’ve noticed that everyone is a little strange that works at Bethesda hahaha
THIS! We're on our way to a game that will be MASSIVELY replayable. Hoping for ridiculous mods when the kit is out!
we're finally getting the Mako.
Amazing creation engine can do vehicles. 😃
That ship decorate is hot. Can wait till September to give this game a second pass.
How do you get to decoration menu on the guardian?
Christ, I've been looking for a ship decorate mode for so long. Nothing was more infuriating than placing all props manually, only for them to fall through the geometry because of how janky it was.
Bethesda really delayed ES6 for this game
Why you think es6 going to be any better when it's the same studio making it
It’s probably best that they DON’T make an ES6 at this point. Bethesda isn’t getting any better
@@larsroarh6285 They know how to make certain games well. Multiplayer ones? No. Space games? No. Singleplayer fantasy rpg games? Yes. Stay in your lane and you're fine. Try to go beyond that and... thats when bethesda gets dicey. Doing new things doesn't seem to be their strong suit sadly.
@@skylerfreeman1173 A normal brained comment??????????????????
@@skylerfreeman1173starfield should have been just sci-fi rpg game. No space elements.
Can’t wait to drive to my first loading screen
So is the vehicle coming in this as well it was that teased with the later expansion?
Damn even the interviewer looks like a Stafield NPC...
Her hair looked generated on ps2
She's cute?
Where the HECK are those Official Mod Tools.
end of the video
@@sucateirodawasteland2228That was the joke.
@@zay2902 /wosh
was just staring at that power armor lol
Nice to see Tim still rocking the visor from 2006 "Making of Oblivion" when he was a QA Lead.
Finally, shops are marked.
Customization for land vehicles? 🤔
Will they ever implement invert x option?
How about you guys fix the bugs that prevent me from progressing in the main story quests, cuz im not gunna restart my character at over 100hrs plus
Ok this is actually a legit update
The team was hard at work 😂
So excited for this May update. Can't wait till October when they patch it enough for it to work properly 🤞🎉
can someone tell me what month is it and when this game was released? just curious....
Well it's May 3 2024 and Starfield released last Year in September 6 I believe.
The dialogue camera option is the highlight for me. Always disliked the old school zoomed in camera.
Yeah, and the NPCs are constantly looking up, like they are looking at your character model or the actors are reading their lines, can't figure out which.
(After 9 months of Starfield being out) Bethesda: "Hey guys we added a working map"
Does the game still have all those hard to navigate menus?
when will the vehicle update release?
This alll sounds like stuff that should have been in the game last august when it came out lol
Never buy games on release. Buy them one year later with all bugs fixed and latests patches installed and at a discount
So basically all the standard stuff all their other games had from day 1, but not this one. I'm blown away.
It's like they are at gunpoint while reading from a billboard in the background. lol
Hope this game makes a comeback like cyberpunk.
Y’all hate but it had potential. I’m a PlayStation fan and I’m rooting for it. More great games are a plus for everyone. Its not great yet but it could be
Let me guess, it's gonna be amazing when it goes to Playstation?
shut up console peasant
Why is everything fake nowadays, the whole conversation seems like a bunch of bad actors.
Coz they're not actors and they're going off a script to not forget or leave off a topic or point they wish to point out
Well some of these things are not bad. But it's like still small improvements
It took till now to get maps or improved maps? Mind blowing.
Thanks for the efforts in this game.
Why Bethesda can't just hire top10% modders to make their game actually playable? Is it better for them to keep torturing their playerbase with this crap?
They literally do this lol , why cant youtube commentators keep up with news
Because the game is already playable. You people are living in a completely different reality, no wonder you literally can’t be happy with anything
@@Crocthunder oh really? They "literally" hired top10% modders to fix their game? Maybe the issue is not with youtube commentators not "keeping up with the news" but with them not being able to define what "literally" means?
What will the difference be between VRR 40 and VRR 60?
Awesome, the game is actually done now?
Early access for another couple of years
Isn't that how it works now first you get it running with duct tape and Elmer's and then fix it while it's out
Looking forward to starfield 2🪐
being able to disable dialog camera is really great
Remember when todd said the game was optimized and you just needed a better pc to play it? Pepperidge farm remembers
There's no patching the bad writing, not to mention the aggravating loading screens.
writing is fine
@@blackwolf4766no it is not XD
@@Anzyn it absolutely is, especially the factions quests lol
4:43 no way Bethesda is putting actual drivable vehicles in their games, truly Howardian times
Enjoying the news/update. Feels like it's almost there. Still waiting for the mods to get rolling to jump back in.
Kb/m support on Xbox? 60fps for Series X?
Finally Vehicles! well a vehicle. I'm sure modders will have fun making tons more.
must say, feels like bethedsa actually listened to community feedback
Wow so we are finally getting the full release...
Literally just give us mods. The modders will make this game what it should be trust
60fps… seems like the creative decision is not creative anymore
They said that the game can hit 60fps in certain areas, but they opted for 30 on the Series X because it was more stable. Not to mention that the "creative decision" can still be experienced by players who don't care about 60fps.
Yes 60fps on series x yes yes….definitely starting new game
For ships, how about a doorway/stairs blocker? Like a way to let us choose where doorways and stairs spawn.
what happend to the mods ect coming yo console in early 2024
Extremely dull game did Bethesda use their C team to create this and 76? We want Elder Scrolls and Fallout 5!
Who's we? You got a turd in your pocket?
60FPS target, cool. Just crushed my interest to play 30FPS on the fastest console hardware available.
Would be cool to have a vehicle dock you can expand on your ship, so you can drive directly into the ship and store different vehicles
Cant you guys wait for my dude finish his coffee before the interview ?
The 200 guys that still play this game will be very happy!
yeah right, go to gamepass and you will see, besides, it's a single player game buddy, people already beat it, when creation tool is released MANY will come back
