![]() We all saw what happened with Cyberpunk 2077. Starfield cannot release as anything less than its best. Basically, I wonder if Starfield, whatever it ends up being since we still really have no clue save for some odd behind-the-scenes looks, will offer anything unique or especially great that I’m not already getting elsewhere in a genre that's exploded over the last decade.Īll of this brings me to today’s delay and why I think it’s a critical step to BGS’s new-gen success. STARFIELD NEWS PCI’m not here to argue if any of these are better than Skyrim, but the open-world RPG space looks much more varied and different today than it did when Skyrim hit consoles and PC back in 2011. There’s Guerilla Games’ Horizon series, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series, Rockstar Game’s Red Dead Redemption II, and most recently, From Software’s Elden Ring. ![]() But since its release, dozens of studios have launched their own open-world RPGs that give BGS a run for its money. Sure, Skyrim was exemplary in the open-world space, and to an extent, it still is today. It’s not a make-or-break moment for the studio’s livelihood – Xbox’s acquisition of Bethesda secured that future – but it is a make-or-break moment for me in my excitement for this studio’s output. I don’t think I’m alone in my thoughts, either, and that’s why Starfield has always seemed like a bit of a proving point for the studio. In my opinion, none of those stack up to Skryim, with some I view as steps backward for the studio or at least sidesteps BGS should not have taken (looking at you, Fallout 76). The Elder Scrolls: Blades (that mobile game).Fallout 76 (an attempt to capture the popularity of live-service games like Destiny 2). ![]() The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR (another re-release, technically).The Elden Scrolls V: Skyrim – Special Edition (the PlayStation 4/Xbox One generation re-release).Since the release of Skyrim, BGS has released the following: Skyrim hit store shelves on November 11, 2011, and it’s clear BGS was harking back to that with Starfield’s original Novem(which is 11 years later) release date. Speaking to that, Starfield’s original release date was November 11, 2022. It’s the first new BGS game of its kind since Skyrim (and it's a new IP at that), and in the same vein as Skyrim, Starfield seems to be all about exploring a vast new world and creating your own stories within it, all while running through what’s hopefully a great main campaign. However, many have looked at Starfield as its spiritual successor. Depending on who you ask, BGS hasn’t found success as great as Skyrim's since its release, possibly evidenced by the studio’s multiple Skyrim re-releases. Since then, it’s kind of felt like BGS has been chasing that success and critical acclaim. It got a 9.5 out of 10 from us and it’s received plenty of other similar high scores, with some outlets giving the game a 10 out of 10. ![]() Bethesda Game Studios released Skyrim, easily its most popular game and arguably its best RPG, on November 11, 2011. Will this be something gamers are OK with, or have the time of silent, non-speaking protagonists have come ot pass? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments.Let’s head back to 2011. Starfield will also show all of its in-game conversations in first-person. What Bethesda is doing is they’re going back to the roots, with the silent protagonist as the norm, the only Bethesda game that strayed from this path is Fallout 4. Yes, dialogue in is first person and your character does not have a voice. Why? Because Starfield won’t feature a voiced protagonist, which Bethesda finally confirmed in a tweet today. But as most of us saw, there was no option for the type of voice or anything like that. Starfield has a complex character creation tool. Instead, what we saw its enormous open world, gameplay, and many other features. Starfield has a silent protagonist, which is something Bethesda didn’t mention during the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase where gameplay for the RPG debuted. ![]()
