Let's take a look at the trailers Starfield has released so far
At E2018 3, Bethesda teased Starfield for the first time with a very short trailer, giving the slightest glimpse of what it could be.
The trailer showed the sun shining over a planet and a space station with very modern technology. A second later, a space rift appeared that began to engulf everything. While it looks like a shiny Star Trek-like warp field, it could have been anything: a singularity, wormhole, space anomaly, or a cool special effect for the trailer's end.
After a long wait, Bethesda has finally released a new trailer for Starfield at the 2021 E3. This was again a brief glimpse, but it further cemented the game's look and feel, which Bethesda describes as "NASA-punk." The trailer followed an astronaut preparing to take off from an alien planet. Meanwhile, a monologue was playing discussing the infinite limits of space. Some fans think there is a hint of Elder Scrolls hidden in the trailer.
At Starfield Direct in June 2022, Bethesda gave fans a look at more game-playable content they've been waiting for, including more details on Starfield's size, skill tree, and space exploration.
Since then, Microsoft and Bethesda have regularly started revealing more about the game and even held a Starfield Direct presentation following the Xbox Games Showcase in June. As the game approaches its release date, more content has been released since then.
The mechanics of the game, gameplay and will be presented to the players
Bethesda is famous for its large open world RPGs such as The Elder Scrolls series and Fallout series. However, the huge worlds of both series are too small compared to the universe we will explore in Starfield.
At the Xbox-Bethesda Games Showcase in June 2022, Howard confirmed that players will be able to visit "1000+ planets" throughout the game. Some of these locations will be full-fledged cities. For example, the central city is New Atlantis. But many of them will be randomly generated to be suitable for exploration. Others will be somewhere in between, like the desert moon Kreet, a place treacherously invaded by space bandits.
According to Howard, Starfield will be a more "hardcore" RPG than Bethesda's previous works. It's very obvious when we first look at Starfield's character creator. The physical aspect of the game's character creation is pretty standard, but the wide range of backgrounds and features players can choose from is impressive. Based on your choices, your character will have their own unique abilities and flaws. And that will make your intergalactic adventure truly yours.
However, Starfield's emphasis on customization does not end there. The game allows players to customize the look and performance of their weapons and spaceships, as well as build their own bases. The mechanics for building these bases are much more complex than in Fallout 4, allowing for more customization and creativity when designing your base.
Base building isn't the only fun mechanic in Starfield. Besides the normal exploration and combat we expect from Bethesda games, players will be able to freely fly their own spaceships and engage in intergalactic combat. Recent in-game footage also showed off an Oblivion-inspired unlock and persuasion mechanic.
Bethesda showed off some of the worlds from The Settled Systems in three animated trailers. Supra Et Ultra tells the story of the space courier Kent traveling to New Atlantis (United Colonies), The Hand That Feeds explores the pleasure city Neon in Volii Alpha, and Where Hope Is Built the planet Akila, the capital of Freestar Collective. passes in.
However, don't expect to explore planets from the wheel of a rover-like vehicle, as game director Todd Howard has confirmed that no vehicles or wild mounts will be offered to players. But even if you don't have wheels, you'll have a jetpack, and that's arguably the better mode of transportation.
Howard: “Boost Pack is super fun! You can fly in the environment and then the low-gravity planets really add a very special feel to the game.” said.
