So after watching the Star-field trailer and Gameplay i must say it was a bit of a roller coaster. (Full Trailer below)
Lets start off with the visuals and performance.
The Bad: The first thing we notice is the subpar 30fps and dips. Draw distance is good for this type of game but noticeable. The animation frames dropping in the distance etc. The lack of character animations when being shot.
The Good: Visual detail and atmosphere are top notch. Character designs, environment, Building and Ship designs are all fantastic.
Its a good thing they delayed this game to get it better optimized.
Now taking a look at the Gameplay.
After viewing the trailer, it felt a little underwhelming with the combat being a little generic and the exploring didn't seem like much to do except mine a few things and go towards one of the outposts, nothing we haven't seen before, however where this game shines is with its Hub worlds, lore and interactions. Everything you would expect from a Elder Scrolls/Fallout game.
Now the real games bread and butter, Features/Customization
Past the half way mark of the trailer, we start seeing where this game blows up and becomes one of the most technically advance games ever made.
Base building, being able to create a planet base anywhere in Star-field and actually looks like it will add benefits to a player rather than just act as a healing station and storage base. You are able to create resource type buildings and even hire NPC's to monitor and run the base while you are out exploring.
Character customization, offering the player many types of options to create a character, nothing we haven't seen before however Star-Field does it on a huge scale.
Ship Customization, this is one the feature that impressed alot of people. Being able to create and design your very own ship, from modelers to upgrades and paint. You can even free fly around on the ground or in space with actual space combat and exploring.
The Overall impressions
Now that we have seen the actual trailer, i walked in a little unimpressive and walked out the complete opposite and my hype for this game is still high. This is the game i wanted to see and this is what they are delivering on. If they can optimize the frame rate and improve more on the gun play, Star-Field is going to be an absolute blast.
This is not a No Man Sky game, this is a Star Citizen game.
