E3 2018: Bethesda Announces Starfield (+trailer)

Discover Starfield, the new space epic currently in development by Bethesda Game Studios. Starfield is the first new franchise in twenty-five years from the acclaimed developers of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series.

While Todd Howard introduced the game near the end of the conference, a great deal of mystery still surrounds this new title. Obviously, the game will take place in space and feature a sci-fi setting, as illustrated by the announcement teaser below. We also see imagery of what appears to be a pointed satellite or space station hovering above an arid planet. Aside from that, we know next to nothing officially about Starfield just yet, ranging from its release timeframe to even release platforms. There have been rumors swirling about a new IP from Bethesda, so it will be interesting to see where the powerhouse publisher and developer will take this new, original gaming experience as more is revealed. Bethesda describes the game as a “next-generation single-player epic” on their Twitter announcement for it.

let's just hope it doesn't use the same engine as Fallout 4.

let's just hope it doesn't use the same engine as Fallout 4.

there were much worse problems with this game:
- a lot of bugs
- poor dialog options
- did not use tactical version (action points) of precision shooting because slowing time a bit is not the same as it was in a proper fallout series which basically means game turns out more call of duty than fallout
- leave crafting rubbish to sims and survival games, fallout was always more about exploring and finding unique weapons - not standing in a shed of some sort making sofas

they fix this and I am not complaining about engine or poor graphics

hope its some cool 4X space strategy that also includes tactical battles and not some 90's cartoonist crap we have now.

I don't even understand what kind of game it is from the "trailer".
What kind of obscure marketing is this?
