Starfield was undoubtedly the star of the Xbox Showcase last night and Bethesda Softworks was particularly generous in revealing these 15 minutes of gameplay. It must be said that the game had been very discreet and that its delayed release to 2023 was starting to seriously worry the players. In Messiah, Todd Howard came to show what his famous Skyrim looks like in space, and the least we can say is that Starfield is a very ambitious game. We realized that in this Action-RPG, the game will take place both on land and in space, alternating subjective view and camera behind the character depending on the situation. It will also be possible to pilot his ship and go to the confines of the galaxies to discover new planets, which it will be possible to explore. The promises are huge and they are reminiscent of other games such as Starfield, No Man's Sky and the late Beyond Good & Evil 2 which seems to have stalled in production.
Precisely, if Starfield seems to take the same path as these three titles, it is because it combines all these gameplay elements and this libertarian game structure which some studios have already broken their teeth. The difference for Starfield is that it is a Bethesda game, with significant basic financial means, to which is added the arrival of Microsoft in the capital. Suffice to say that money is no longer a problem. But for the rest ? According to some Internet users, Starfield takes a lot from Hello Games' No Man's Ky, both in its gameplay mechanics, in the choice of weapons and even in some situations. Is it really justified? Just take a look at some comparative videos (including that of IGN) to realize that there are indeed a lot of similarities, to the point that some even see a copy and paste. Is it really justified? Was Bethesda inspired by the work done by Hello Games? We let you be the judge...
Starfield gameplay has finally been released, and fans quickly began making comparisons to another epic space travel game: No Man’s Sky. Check them out running side-by-side! #IGNSummerOfGaming | #XboxBethesda pic.twitter.com/HoVHPXnk6z
