...but not enough to pay £250 for the Collector's Edition when the game is included on Game Pass (which I pay for).
 
Hi guys, it's been a while. I'm reallly hyped about this game. Already pre-ordered it. Also think the controller looks very cool. Watched the Starfield direct and it looks great. It's been a long time since i've been looking forard like this for a video game...
Thanks placebo for posting about the watch, because i was really interested about it, seems cool...but...

Yeah same! Not sure if it's a sign of me getting older or a sign that quality games just don't come around very often but this one has me very excited, trying to find a balance of reading articles to keep the excitement levels up without getting too many spoilers! :)

Pre-load is available from Wednesday 9th August apparently.

For those with the 5 day's early access it will apparently be playable at 1pm GMT August 31st if you have a New Zealand IP address...

Are you gonna play this on PC?

Im wondering if my system (5800x3d + 6800xt) will be able handle 4k. The specs are looking kinda hungry.

Cool. 😊
I really would like to dive in but I need to wait for reviews to see if it’s enjoyable on my medium system.

It feels like it should be doable, there's usually a Nexus mod to make it run on lower spec systems but it kinda comes down to how much lowering of the visuals you can stomach. Does No Man's Sky run on your system?

Besides my racing sims… I only have fifa23 and Metro last light installed. 🤷‍♂️
both run fine in 4k/60 but sure aren’t a real indicator, I guess.

Your PC should be fine for 1440 or 4k ish with FSR. Not sure if it is supporting FSR out of the box though.

I know Jay will be playing it from day 1 so ive asked him to stream it to me so i can see the game and its performance for real.

For me, almost every test scenario you read on the internet is too perfect and usually in real life you can take 10-20 fps off theirs for a real world score. But thats just my experience.

Metro Last Light is fairly demanding so if you can run that at 4k/60 then Starfield is definitely doable, it'll have FSR out of the door because it's an AMD backed game.

Yeah shouldn't be a problem, the official specs are:

Its gonna be interesting to see whats gonna happen with this game.

On paper it seems like a dream game for me. Open world, serious 'No Mans Sky', with a bit of 'Mass Effect'.

But there's just some feeling in my guts that it will not be a pleasant ride initially.

It will be interesting to watch, coz as it stands - this is basically the only thing that Xbox can wave in front of Playstation face.
But its Bethesda. It took them nearly a year for Skyrim to get rid of bugs (and that was back when games were coming out in solid shapes!!!)
And even that wasnt enough. Even now one of the first mods that people download for Skyrim is "Unofficial Patch", made by community, to fix Bethesdas bugs.

But regardless whether the launch will be successful, or not - I think this game, same as Skyrim, will be game for many, many years. It will have great mods support on both PC and Consoles and with the massive world - community will be able to create almost anything.

But I wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt a good game at the start.
Personally I probably wont touch it for a good while. Dont want to to spoil my experience.

Eugh you made me think now. I don’t think I’ll be able to resist playing on Sept 6 if I have the right hardware by then, but that’s a really good point about waiting so your experience isn’t spoilt.

Well the game only releases September 1st for the hard-core muppets like me who both pre-ordered and paid more for the deluxe/premium edition to get it 5 days earlier, the vast majority will be waiting until the "proper" release date of the 6th so they have plenty of time to read reviews and form an opinion in time to either not buy it or cancel their pre-order.

Though to be completely honest I haven't read a review of a game for a long time, I know by now if a game is for me or not by looking at videos :)
