As someone who grew up on snes RPGs this game looks sick. Glad it got good reviews.

Mandy, w Starfield Global Release Times and PC Specs Revealed

At this point companys really must be increasing requirements just because, aint no way something that looks like starfield needs that much ram

whiskers,

That’s not true. RAM usage in open world games depends on how much assets are being loaded. We’ll need an in-depth analysis to determine if it is bad optimization or not

Mandy,

i mean, its bethesda, yo you really expect any kind of optimization ? and at launch at that? its a sad state of affairs but alas, that is how tripl a is nowadays

16gb isn’t really a lot of RAM nowadays, though

Mandy,

it totally is, im not getting old, you’re getting old

Apeeksiht,

I was playing elden ring last year with ram usage around 9gb to 10gb that too on 1080p

entropicshart,

You should try booting up Icarus - 32gb get filled up as if you’re using a floppy disk

howsetheraven, w Microsoft has apparently eliminated the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial once again, just before the release of Starfield

What’s this “again” business? Do you actually feel you’re entitled to a $1 unlimited access pass to their entire library for 2 weeks just to play their biggest release? If not, do you think it’s unethical or illegal or some other gripe?

I played Outer Worlds, Wasteland 3 and Halo: Infinite with that shit in the past years. I felt like I was literally stealing the games.

I felt like I was literally stealing the games.

Surprisingly, you aren’t! There is no difference for them if you play, as all the data is a copy and labor has already been paid.

Corkyskog,

Oh neat I have been living under a rock and didn’t realize it was owned by Microsoft… so now there will never be a PS5 release. Does that mean all the old Bethesda games will be unavailable om PS5?

It doesn’t even look like you can get it on steam deck, this blows.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Yup, XBox GamePass is not available for Steam deck or Linux generally, so I have never used it. I would probably sign up if it was available though.

Corkyskog,

Well Steam says it will be in their library, I guess just not for Steamdeck? I was on the fence about getting one because I rarely use a non work computer, and won’t get a new one just for gaming.

sugar_in_your_tea, (edited )

I’m talking about GamePass, not Starfield. Gamepass only works on Microsoft OSes AFAIK, so you won’t be able to use it on anything it doesn’t control (i.e. macOS or Linux).

Corkyskog,

That’s fun. God I hate proprietary tech

Like it’s not enough to lock me into a service by making a good service that I forget how expensive it is, instead they got to strangle you on the device side.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Ikr? That’s one reason why I like Netflix. I don’t like the DRM, but they at least do a good job ensuring it works pretty much everywhere.

Hot take when dealing with trillion dollar monopolies there is nothing unethical of taking advantage of them. Also I say this as someone that got the $1 month once and then used it once and then never touched it.

Also on the 2070 boat :( I think I might sell it 2nd hand soon before it’s worthless hahah

Bethesda.net/workshop

Transcendant,

That link gives me a 404… do you know why it’s included internet connection in the recommended (but not required) specs?

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

It’s not a link; i was saying the Internet connection is only even mentioned because of the Bethesda.net service and access to the Steam Workshop; both are for getting mods, and Bethesda.net is also where you’d get paid cosmetics and whatnot if they have them. It’s not required to play, which is why it’s only in recommended.

Transcendant,

Ahh I see, thanks for the explanation.

ADHDefy,
@ADHDefy@kbin.social avatar

Same. I just bought the 2070S like... 3 years ago? 2 or 3. I thought it would let me max out games for closer to 5 years, but here we are. lol

Transcendant,

Some of my friends were laughing at me as the 30-series was about to release when I got the 2070s. I was the one laughing when none of them could even get a 30-series a year later, without paying scalper prices! It’s done me really well, feel like we got in just at the right time before prices went nuts and availbility dropped.

Seems to be better now, last time I checked the prices weren’t overly-insane and there were plenty of units available.

EyesEyesBaby, w Motorsport Games employees win unpaid wages lawsuit

Oh what a lovely country the US is. This is the second post I’m seeing today where an employer doesn’t pay their workers enough hours.

Meowoem, w Baldur's Gate 3 "feels so alive" because it used mo-cap and 248 actors to bring its characters to life

Funny, it all feels very dead to me - but then I guess that is what the fireball spell does…

Hope it runs well on Linux.

vaultdweller013,

Knowing bethesda games, it will either run great or your physics will be from a popeye cartoon.

Both magnificent options

stephen01king,

At least we know there will be mods to fix everything.

dandroid, w Starfield Global Release Times and PC Specs Revealed

We already knew all this info weeks ago.

!deleted6508 avatar

I thought Lae’zel looked like that because she is a githyanki, but after seeing the actual actress I’m not so sure. Her nose looks unreal. They mocapped her way too well.

5473MP4RRit,

If you’re talking about the TikTok video of her reading Twitter comments, it’s a filter that’s pinching her nose. She doesn’t actually look like that.

Skies5394, w The Darkness Remaster Might Happen, Says Nightdive CEO

One of my favourite games, along with its sequel.

Just great mechanics and atmosphere. Only complaint I had were there were a touch too short.

S_H_K, w Star Citizen Funding crosses $600 million mark

Holy fuck the opinions there are around. I haven’t played it, seems I saved myself from a bad experience.

kromem, w Baldur's Gate 3 "feels so alive" because it used mo-cap and 248 actors to bring its characters to life

And yet I can’t help thinking that a lot of the extreme side character content could have been aided significantly by AI.

The main 80% of the voice acting is outstanding.

But particularly in Act 3 there’s something disconcerting about every other pedestrian you can talk to who spouts a quip using roughly the same voice with mediocre delivery.

It’s a perfect use case for the AI voice tech available today. The main parts and actual side characters should still have been bespoke acting and mocap, but the random pedestrian in the city might have been notably improved with using generated voices to broaden the variety.

BG3 has been very strong evidence to me that hybrid approaches integrating AI for filling in background content are going to be the standard by the end of the current console generation.

arefx, w In its first week, Immortals of Aveum had a peak count of just 751 players on Steam.

I didn’t even hear about this game until today.

regalia, w Baldur's Gate 3 "feels so alive" because it used mo-cap and 248 actors to bring its characters to life

Would really be cool if the devs did a tech talk on some of the techniques they used. They’re definitely ahead of the industry in a lot of the areas.

sudoshakes, (edited )

I wonder if the devs are or rather the folks who set the vision that were skilled at keeping such a complex beast going since 2016.

The end product is wonderful, but the sum of something that long in the making had more than skilled devs. It had a chain of people with faith in them that what was being created in their creative process was worth trusting, for a long time.

regalia,

GDC is always exciting because it’s a big conference of devs, mostly AAA devs, telling the technical details of their algorithms and systems. It really helps the game industry as a whole.
