Several images first posted to the infamous 4Chan message boards have been shared across social media (thanks, Okami13_ ), purported to be screenshots from a 2018 build of Starfield . The first image shows a third-person perspective on an futuristic-looking astronaut wielding a shotgun according to the game's HUD, although the weapon is not seen on the player model. In addition to a health and stamina meter, there also appears to be a meter for oxygen, which would be a key component in any game that wants to realistically depict space exploration. The second image appears to be concept art of one of the game's spaceships, and it certainly matches the space station briefly seen in the game's official teaser trailer back in 2


A pair of screenshots purportedly from Bethesda's long-in-development Starfield has surfaced online. It is the next game from Bethesda Game Studios, the internal studio behind such games as Fallout 3 and 4 and every entry in The Elder Scrolls series. Announced with little more than a logo during their E3 2018 showcase, Starfield is purported to be Skyrim in space, taking Bethesda's open-world formula to the sci-fi realm in ways not satisfied by their entries in the Fallout ser


Despite the increased amount of Starfield -related leaks, the game continues to remain a mystery. This disappointing situation, however, might change quite soon as Microsoft is reportedly planning to hold a Bethesda-related gaming event somewhere in the middle of March. It could be an excellent opportunity to reveal some enticing information about Bethesda’s future and its upcoming projects - including, of course, Starfield . The event is yet to be officially confirmed as it is just another insider statement at the mom


Howard also said the finished game would have "a lot of new systems we've been thinking about for a while that fit that kind of game really well ." After once again confirming that Starfield will not be a multiplayer game , Howard went on to talk about the game's technical specificati


In the years that followed Starfield 's announcement, the company has not greatly expanded fan’s knowledge of what to expect for the title. After the news hit last month that Bethesda had been tapped to work on the new Indiana Jones game, many worried that games like Starfield would be pushed back . Bethesda’s Pete Hines was quick to assure players after the announcement that the publisher and developer was still focused on its other new IP. This sentiment has recently been backed by one industry insider who claims to have reason to believe Starfield could be coming out during the latter half of this ye


And not just the cinematics or models, but the entire environmental fidelity is easily the greatest that the industry has to offer. RDR2 maintains a cohesive sense of immersion by letting you take your time to explore everything it has to show you, from random NPC world events, each NPC's own routine in towns, to the Van Der Linde gang's ever-growing individual stories, and that's just scratching the surf


Starfield likely offers more complexity in RPG elements, narrative branching, and sheer size. But if we're talking emergent exploration, world interaction, and player-driven discovery, Breath of the Wild checks all of that with zero effort, unlike Bethesda's modern RPG. There is a consistent sense of discovery here that I'll even go as far as to say that Elden Ring doesn't hit with its vast array of cont


Plus, with the dynamic gameplay and physics engine, there's an endless layer of creativity present here, from manipulating the game's environmental physics for cheating puzzles to using Link's abilities in unimaginable ways for resolving enemy encounters, one that evolves further with Tears of the King


Another industry insider, Skullzi , who is known for gaming investigations and reports, has shared a leaked screenshot allegedly taken from an in-development build of Starfield . Although the screenshot had poor quality, it nonetheless represented a huge leap forward in terms of improved visuals compared to other Bethesda’s RPGs. Realistic lighting, reflections, shadows, and detailed environments implied that Starfield could be a true next-gen title. In the bottom-left corner, the picture included the same piece of HUD that was present on previously leaked Starfield screenshots, which added a bit of credibility. But as the story was rapidly developing, Skullzi had to take down the post on Twitter since some users claimed the leak was fake. They pointed out a visible similarity between the alleged screenshot and environmental walking simulator Mýrdalssandur, Iceland . Skullzi's source (presumably from Bethesda) later confirmed that the leak was 100% f
