I liked almost everything about the show. Minus that every single protagonist was black female they had a good showcase.

I didn't realize Michelle Obama was the main character of THAT many games

I like the visual style. They did a good job with it.
Not enough to get me to buy an Xbox or build another PC. Bethesda would need a new Fallout with the look of Starfield to get me on board.
I like how their NPCs still have the same stiff standing straight feeling and their wooden faces. Rest looks pretty nice.

Amazing how male and female options have literally been erased/1984ed.
Starfield still looks absolutely amazing though.
I'm sure Starfield is really fun when you're playing it and invested in it, but it doesn't really look all that good on footage. Still that Gamebryo junk and simple lighting.
- Platforms
But they did though. There's an hour long trailer about the game.
This game is incredible. I love space and the universe so I"m going to be in this game for a long time!
Graphics look really good for the environments. Much more "beautiful" worlds than HFW. The only weakness I see in the graphics is the lame GI probe lighting. Maybe they will have RTGI and RTAO for the PC.

How can you say this when all the games look like that except Cyberpunk OD? Even the famed Horizon game has flat lighting.

Yeah Starfield is definitely extremely ambitious and looks more and more like a generational tier game.
Xbox showcase was decent, best part was the Persona 3 Remake for me, but the boy and his grub rock climbing game looked pretty good too.
Starfield looks fantastic quite honestly. I still hate that MS bought Bethesda just to take it off PS5, but it was still the best part of the show.
7/10 overall.
If these were all actually XSS/X exclusives, I'd honestly be tempted to buy one.
But they're not, so I won't.

I disagree. All characters look robotic and weird (which is okay for for a Bethesda game). Clouds are basically skyboxes. A lot of flat surfaces. This game is built for scale. In details it looks janky.

Me too.. seems like they incorporated a nice photorealistic color palette to it. The environments look amazing!

Nice, Starfield has warships and battleship tier starships.
It looks like it will actually be giving Tears of the Kingdom serious competition for that GOTY award. I don't say that lightly either.

You probably think the characters in CP look the same way? Or Spiderman? The game is 3-4x the size of a regular open world game. Why would they spend all those resources on photoreal characters on a console?
It's not a flight simulator. That's OK.
It doesn't. Sorry - you have a bad argument. Inventory items that are junk look better than most games' objects on the ground. There is so much to this game it isn't even worth arguing over. The environments are the best of any game I've seen so far simply because they vary so well.

This comment is from SlimySnake - one of the most controversial gamers on gaming forums who has a hardon for Sony..
Even he admits that Starfield is next-gen and he hated the Sony showcase of Spiderman 2 because it looked weak.

Yep, that's a good
The visuals of Starfield do nothing for me.
Whatever story elements they've shown are uncompelling. Same with the enemies.
The eyes glaze over.

So much negativity here for what I thought was an outstanding showcase and Starfield is simply amazing. I ended up over at GAF since after about the first 20-30 minutes the worst of the Sony fanboys gave up trying to downplay everything and it was mostly extremely positive after that.
- Platforms
Yup. With the depth and scope of the game, it should by default win GOTY. Zelda was more of the first one while Starfield is a totally new franchise. I wish other big AAA studios would take more risk and make something new. I'm sick and tired of rehashed sequels to games.

Yeah I dont get it, this show was great, so many things I'm now looking forward to. Its polar opposite of the Sony show which made me worry that I was disconnected completely with the future of gaming.
Some cool stuff overall in the showcase, though I was a bit thrown by the Starfield Trailer drop halfway through the Xbox part. Anyway pretty pumped about Starfield...got my work cut out for me in terms of going over all that new footage for the OT though. I expect all my Starfield bros are feeling a bit damp in their pants after that.

I guess it was a good showcase if you like playing gay shit with woman leads and forced diversity up the wazoo.

Wow! Starfield absolutely blew me the fuck away. This game is going to take me months if not years to beat, over a 1000 planets, plus we know the game will probably have countless expansions and story packs as well. I also hope mods will be available for Xbox just like in Skyrim.
I already told my girl that I want the Constellation edition for my birthday, she shrugged, said yes and didn't even flinched at the price. She's getting extra loving tonight lol. Damn I can't wait for this, I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time. Todd just saved Xbox.

Yeah. I've been contemplating that for a while. Page is up now, but no pre-order on that version yet.
