I think most people that cared about the game could hand over $30 more for “early access”, will full release push the needle that much? I don’t know, don’t think so.
Copies of the Premium edition were included with a lot of graphics card sales, and there’s been a lot of upgrading going in with some card prices coming down. It could be a significant factor.
That’s exactly how I got my copy. The highest tier AMD GPU (7900 XTX, 24 GB) dropped to $800 on Amazon sometime in July, performing about 95% as fast as an RTX 4090 in most titles, which cost $1600-1900 (10% sales tax), and outperforms or matches the 4090’s performance in Starfield.
I’m getting 108 FPS on 4K Ultra outdoors, and 128 FPS indoors, with Resolution Scale at 100% and FSR disabled.
As long as there’s a shared skeleton, you can make any model work with any animation that has the same skeleton.
So all that was needed to be done was to figure out what skeleton the animations were looking for and then set up an equivalent skeleton for the modded race. Then you can just reuse the same animations the game does.
I’ve played it now for about 3 hours and it feels very much like Skyrim/Fallout in space - not more, but also not less. There is nothing revolutionary about anything, but this was also not my expectation. The NASA-Punk aesthetic works well enough and gunplay was surprisingsly good so far - but your enemies are quite spongy.
NPCs and dialogues are a bit wooden, but this is nothing new for Bethesda games as well.
The worst thing is the engine. It really shows how old this engine is. There are things which simply look terrible in my book, this becomes obvious during the first visit in New Atlantis (which is pretty early in the game).
There are people who have hungered for a new Bethesda Game^TM for almost a decade, and Starfield will ladle out another big helping, and I’m happy for them that they have many hours of enjoyment coming.
I’m just, kind of full, when it comes to that dish.
No, you can fly it. The thing is, manually piloting your ship sounds like it’s not used for transportation, only for combat and docking/boarding other ships and space stations. But those things are apparently pretty fun.
60$, or regional equivalent, for 6 games is not a bad discount. If you own even one of them already the price is halved. I’d say that qualifies as cheap.
Not all that surprising honestly. Starfield is going to be Bethesda's focus and main talking point for a few years at least. And who knows how many games are scheduled between it and ES6, whenever it comes out. Given that Bethesda generally likes a short window between reveal and release I'm wondering just how much they regret teasing a game that might not release for another three or four years.
