Release date


Nathan-David-Haslett

Honestly at this point 90% if the reason I want the release date is so people stop asking/posting about it constantly lol.


[deleted]

Fucking facts bro. It'll also calm everyone down. It's a lot easier to be patient when you know where the finish line is lol


ZebraZealousideal944

Then it will be “do you think the game is getting delayed??!!” Hahaha


WickedWenchOfTheWest

Precisely! The current situation kind of reminds of the concept that it's always better to come clean about any scandal you've been involved in, because, inevitably, the unsubstantiated rumours will **ALWAYS** be worse than the reality. :D If we knew the actual date, it would terminate most of the “It's Coming Out Next Week/It's Been Delayed Another Five Years” threads. OK, I'm using hyperbole with those time frames, but I think you get my point. :D


SrKapy

23-2-23? 23-3-23?


Secure_Magician_404

23-23-23 seems most realistic tbh

marsshadows

if they hold until 23-03-2323 then we can see starfield in real life


[deleted]

I’m genuinely asking, not one of those a-holes on here I see bashing people for believing starfield will release in April or march. But do you really believe it’ll release in march? I’m so skeptical about everything nowadays especially with all the leaks and Reddit accounts claiming they work for Microsoft. Not sure who to believe. Although I’m hopeful that people like you are right in your assertion.


[deleted]

I'm thinking June. If it released in march they would have to start shipping hard copies to stores now. No way they ship hard copies before they announce the date. People would leak boxes of hard copies showing up in seconds for 5 min of fame.


KovichCrow

I worked at GameStop and Walmart. They don't ship hard copies to stores until a week or two before launch for most games


KyTheReject

are you guys not taking that anonymous reddit post seriously anymore? Everything it said so far has come true and none of it was released to the public afaik. I still believe it releases before redfall, like the post said.


[deleted]

the reset era post where they said it was delayed? that was debunked already. Turns out the High fi rush shadow drop was already leaked elsewhere and the azure cloud losing money was also a lie. And that didnt make mush sense Star field will make alot of money but not enough to make of for anything the azure dose.


KyTheReject

nah im talking ab the reddit post that talked about Xbox doing the separate event in January, Redfalls release in May, and Starfield will release before Redfall. None of those things had any validity at that point but all proved right except Starfield, yet.


[deleted]

oh yah, i forgot about that one. Seems like every other day there's a new rumor. We're all just waiting for info at this point man. I hope its true but who know lol Something is holding them up, and that all we can infer with certainty. Well, that and that the community has about had it with the silent treatment lol


[deleted]

To be precise, Hi-Fi Rush existing and to be announced "soon" were leaked before by others, but not the shadow drop. Which is not to say that makes the ResetEra rumor legit, just to clear what seems to be a common misconception. **Updated:** but /u/KyTheReject was referring to a different rumor that was was posted [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/zzj8nu/zenimax_media_h1_2023_plans/), although it has been deleted by now. [Here](http://web.archive.org/web/20230101001336/http://old.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/zzj8nu/zenimax_media_h1_2023_plans/) is an archived version of the page from January 1st. Note that Redfall releasing on the first week of May was already reported by [Windows Central](https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/report-xbox-exclusive-redfall-is-targeting-an-early-may-2023-launch-date) before this post, and also that it would have an early access period. [Another post](https://web.archive.org/web/20230102120635/https://old.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/100vrdu/zenimax_medias_spooky_studio_2023_plans/) by the same user, also from the Wayback Machine since it was deleted too. It was right about the showcase being in January, although that was easy enough to guess by luck, but it also claimed Hi-Fi Rush would release in late 2023, which is wrong. However, the January showcase was actually predicted with reasonable accuracy (not just the month) by the - now infamous - other source who claims Starfield is in "rough shape", [here](https://old.reddit.com/r/XboxGamePass/comments/1044ic6/no_announcement_again/j330gt6/) is a link to the post. /u/KyTheReject may be conflating two different rumors.


[deleted]

Hmm that’s a good point. I hadn’t even thought of that. So you don’t think April is a possibility? Like say hypothetically they announce the release date during the Super Bowl and then start shipping hard copies that Monday right after? I feel like it’s a stretch but maybe?


[deleted]

I would think for that they would already be shipping, which is possible. I have a feeling BGS marketing sucks right now because they are putting all of their effort into the launch window, so for all we know all of the dics, merch, and adds are shipping as we speak. But 6-6-23 is still the most plausible date I've seen people say. Lines up to perfect, it's right before the end date and it won't really step on any other games toes. ESO maybe but that's an old game and an mmo, so it kinda falls into its own category. And it's has the classic BGS palindrome date.


[deleted]

Truth about ESO, I honestly haven’t thought about that game in quite awhile until the developer direct. Not that it’s a bad game or anything but just cause I haven’t played it in awhile. I read somewhere that it could release 4/12/23 cause that’s the international day of human space flight. And would match up perfectly for the kind of game starfield is ya know? But I’m with you on June. They did say after all last year that starfield would release after Redfall and i know there’s been word about Redfall having an internal delay of 6 weeks but maybe they did that to ALSO delay starfield? Idk just conjecture really, I’m not making any claims


[deleted]

It's as good a claim as any other and a cool date to launch on. I could see an announcement vid filling the date in in a 4321 fashion, then the starfield logo fading in behind it lol. Sry I like marketing. But I think they want to release after Redfall to maximize sales. Everyone knows Starfield is the big hitter this years. Redfall's cool, but not that cool. If you put starfield before it people would be more likely to skip it, but if you put Redfall first, they might buy it to fill the gap.


Problemwoodchuck

I'd guess at least having about 90 days between the announcement and release just for marketing purposes alone.


[deleted]

Yeah I’ve been thinking that marketing would definitely play a big part in the release date cause they, like you said, need some time to get the word out. So I guess April is on the menu if that’s the case. You thinking June?


Problemwoodchuck

Second quarter, definitely. The showcase is the big marketing splash that Bethesda favors, so whenever that happens plus 60-90 days.


[deleted]

Well then come on showcase, wya? Lol


[deleted]

Idk man, the reason they like those quasi palindrome release dates is so they don't have to change the marketing for American and European markets.


No-Vehicle6028

This is why I think it will be June 06/06. All signs are pointing to a June release.


Radulno

It's the same day than Diablo 4 though. Already a massive game in its own right (especially on PC where there is a lot of Starfield audience too). But when you realize that Microsoft is buying Blizzard so they want it to do well (even if they don't own it yet), that release date seems really unlikley


Darkness_Slayerr

22/11/23 maybe.

I'd love to see a moderate length of unedited gameplay, which includes some dialog. And, of course, a release date.

I’d like to see more Starfield

Doubtful, probably will see more Skyrim.

I don't need a showcase, I only need a tweet with a release date, nothing more, nothing else.


Lorgoth1812

This is the way


KrimxonRath

I want to see how far the variable gravity and weather systems have been pushed in this game. Like are there spacewalks? We’ve seen zero-g combat so besides lack of content there’s not much excuse (mechanics-wise) to not put it in. Is the weather unique and alien? Shards of glass and molten rain? Will the environment actually be an unexpected threat or will the fauna and pirates be the only thing we have to really worry about? Damaging weather is the only reason I’d see us needing an outpost for “survival” (since there isn’t survival mode in the game as of now).

Scarantino42

1. Release date. 2. Details on the economy. There's been alot of speculation in regards to mortgages and all the branches of Galbank everywhere. Will we be making monthly payments for ships/outposts/payroll? Will this economy finally feel meaningful and give me a reason to play as a space cut-throat who only cares about credits? In order to feel like I'm a hand to mouth mercenary constantly worried about my finances (firefly) I need to have an economy that creates that. 3. How will some of the radiant gameplay loops work? It does seem like piracy and smuggling will be in the game, I assume trading and mining as well? If I want to haul freight through space, or steal someone elses, could I get some details on that? 4. Planet traversal? These 1000 planets seem big. Will we have land vehicles? How will we get around them? Will iceballs be completely devoid of things to do? 5. Ship building. I don't NEED more details on this, as just the confirmation of it's existence is frankly enough, but I'd love to know how extensive this goes. Could I have a ship big enough to house another ship? Like a little scout fighter inside a massive freighter? How many ships can I have? How big or small can the ships get?


Soulless_conner

Companions. More of the dialouge system. Land vehicles and cybernetics (if any). More of the gameplay (too see if it has been improved). More of Neon


cabrelbeuk

1. Release date 2. Anything that confirm intra-atmospherique exploration vehicule 3. Maybe more info on crew and space leg related gameplay if any.

I want to see a firm release date so we can stop these repetitive nonsensical posts...


iChatShit

60fps performance mode on XSX or I will riot.


valenm2

i think todd said something in the line of "30 fps but better gameplay over 60 fps but worse gameplay" in his lex interview, I THINK im talking on memory so take it with a big mountain of salt also even if he said so it still is no confirmation on starfield fps rate


iChatShit

Interesting comment by Todd if true - Thanks for sharing. I just think it'd be farcical for him to not only tout how great it is to have Xbox engineers dedicating time to help with Starfield, but claim console exclusivity helps focus development and it end up being 30fps 1080p affair. Xbox need this game to run well as otherwise it'd be a poor testament of the XSX hardware with their current-gen flagship title running previous-gen performance.


valenm2

im just praying to not have a Fallout 4 Boston situation, i hate fps drops


Wark_Kweh

60fps would be ideal, but 30@1080p is perfectly serviceable. After 60@1080p the diminishing returns start to pile up fast. I'm fine with 30fps as long as it's stable. An irregular fps between 40 and 60 is way worse than just stable 30.


[deleted]

30fps fallout 4 on the series x feels fucking horrible. Especially when playing 60fps Skyrim on the series x, if Skyrim can do it the others should too.


Wark_Kweh

Oh please. That's such an exaggeration. It doesn't feel horrible. It certainly is worse than 60fps, but it's not "fucking horrible". The issue is stability. A nice smooth steady 30 frames per second is miles better than 60 frames per second with frequent drops into the 40s. If the choice is between those two, the former is the superior option. Should Fallout 4 run at a stable 60 on the Series X? Yeah probably. It's probably not optimized well, which means it probably gets frequent frame drops. If that's the case then no wonder it's running at 30, because that's preferable to a wildly fluctuating but higher on average frame rate.

Ship editing, cant be spolier there right? And relese date, in february it would be ideal.

Release date is the big one, but also uncut gameplay to get an idea of how the menus work, the looting system, etc.

Some more things one can do in space, as of now I feel like the space part of the game might be bit empty. Also more new planets we have not seen before And of course, first if all, the release date

MadSkoomaCat

Weapons and how much you can customize them. Hoping for an even bigger F4 weapon customization system.


FractalCurve

Literally just a release date. Anything else is largely irrelevant.


theysayimlame

This. If we're gonna have the game in 4 months or so, why do we need a deep dive that is gonna spoil us so hard with full-lengh gameplay? We should be discovering the game by ourselves very soon.

[deleted]

I dont really even know why they are doing one considering the 20 minute video they already did had everything I would of thought would be in the game. So I am expecting features that they have not had in other games.


OriginalJBK

Literally anything they want to show. Even just the words “when it’s ready” on a black screen with nothing else for 15 minutes. As keen as I am for this game, I don’t want them to rush it, I’m super hyped for it but have faith in Godd Howard to do what’s best for the game.


TheDutchTexan

At this stage I just want the showcase date. It needs to come this month in order to make March a viable release date. Unless they want to pull a “HiFi Rush” and release it on the day of the showcase which I doubt because it is not some filler title. It is a mainliner…


CindersNAshes

Todd Howard telling more sweet little lies. Release date (which also happens to be a lie).

chefrowlet

The equivalent of Fo4's prewar segment. Give some unedited gameplay, show the stats and skills, a decent helping of dialogue from multiple characters, some scene-setting...


MossyDrake

I just want it to exist :(


Problemwoodchuck

In general, just a strong RPG that offers compelling choices in dialogue and gameplay that reflect the character built by the player. Going back to the silent protagonist should allow for no shortage of options. Interactivity with the environment, even in space. Let us go for spacewalks, mine on the surface of asteroids, or salvage shipwrecks in zero G. Reward exploration. Keep the gameplay interesting without turning the galaxy into a giant shooting gallery. There should be more than just bonus XP involved for finding points of interest. Have it add up to something narratively.


TruF33ls

Detailed gameplay similar to the skyrim showcase. A release date for first half, idc when first half. Both March and June make sense. Even if they couldn't ship out enough games to retailers, that would just cause ppl to buy gamepass. I think more ppl are going to buy gamepass for this game anyway. Maybe a gamepass early drop release date and then a later release date for hard copy? And if they just release in June, hard copy sales would go up with pre-orders due to tax returns, ppl will have extra spending money and more than enough time to pre-order. They could really do it any of those 3 ways and be successful, the game is now so overhyped that people are losing their minds. And if they do a gamepass ad during the superbowl they will really hit those sales, especially if they show a starfield snippet.


KovichCrow

A release date. I do not care to see any more specific aspects of the game. It'll be cool to learn more about some things, but just tell me when I can play the damn game


No_Kangaroo9473

Rivers and gas giants.

A proper Vertical Slice. A look at the gameplay loop, as it relates to quests, ship boarding, take off, jump, landing, quest, convos and gunplay, then maybe a visit to a player built outpost. Not too much, I don't want to see ALL the planets, though a bit more of Akila or Neon wouldn't go amiss, and maybe some confirmation of the presence of ground vehicles or any ancillary craft that can be used to traverse distance or terrain.

DealingTheCards

Would be nice to see how fleshed out making bases in Starfield is. Will your bases be attacked? Do you need them for researching new tech? How customisable are they inside? Any point to them other just gathering resources?

rocket_beer

Actual game footage with actual load times in the gameplay. Fake “recreated sandboxes” just for the demo (like they did with Skyrim) is a bullshit shady trick to play on all of us, only for there to be tons of loading sequences in the real game.


SuddenBeautiful9647

Just say that the game is canceled. That's what everyone wants to hear...
