What's new in the Huge New ‘Starfield’ Patch
After months of complaining that Starfield has not had any truly major patches since its September launch, there is finally one that I would classify as suitably big.
Tldr
- Difficulty/Survival Options
- New Ship/Base Customization
- Maps
- Change Traits In The Unity
- Dialogue Camera
- Performance
None of this really sounds interesting enough for me to come back. I think I’ll just wait until the expansion comes out to come back
Same. The mind bending decision to jump into New Game+ and the game removes all of your settlements & ships makes the whole building aspect pointless to me.
Yeah it’s a weird design choice. I get the impression Bethesda has slowly lost a sense of why people love their games.
Price is still too high for me, the waiting game continue.
Got my copy for free with a GPU purchase, still don't play it though, it was very blah at first and my poor rig can only hit like 25 fps at minimum settings, I'm still running a GTX 1060
(The GPU purchase was not for me but I was allowed to keep the free copy of the game from it)
looked at ship/base customization but what I really want is an easy mode for bases. im just not into building them but I want them.
They need a Cyberpunk 2077/ No man's sky level overhaul and that simply won't happen.
In Cyberpunk's case, CDPR within months of the terrible launch, had a clear vision of what they want to fix and how they want their game to feel in 2.0. They gave us a roadmap and plenty of updates and they delivered on what they promised with an incredible 2.0 release and DLC, that honestly propelled the game into my top 10 of all time.
No man's sky basically released a new game in the decrepit shell of their initial release. Multiple decent DLC's later and it's one of the best success stories in gaming history.
With their Elden Ring title on the horizon, there's no way Bethesda is going to devote so many resources to fix a broken game. They also promised that Starfield will run in a new engine following backlash when they said it'll run on the same one. There's very little confidence now in Bethesda that their next game won't be a buggy mess. Fallout 4 sucked until mods fixed the game. Starfield sucks to this day and their next title probably already has significant development done to it that they likely can't scrap lol.
If they honestly thought this patch would bring people back, then they're as deluded as the diablo 4 devs are
They also promised that Starfield will run in a new engine following backlash when they said it'll run on the same one.
No they didn't.
So what am I remembering then? Was that fallout76?
They had a new game coming up and said they'll be using their engine and there was a huge backlash, and they then responded that they'll be working on a new one.
I could've sworn my worst enemy's right arm that that's how it happened... Internet's slow right now on the train but I'm keen to do some sleuthing on this now
if no mans sky can make a comback starfield can too. i think itd be a whole lot harder to make no mans sky good vs starfield
Improved performance?! Like actually?
They unlocked the frame rate on Xbox.
That's like "resisting arrest". They throw it in for free.
There probably are some improvements, but most likely due to programmers fixing up things they come across as they add features. Maybe a couple profiled hogs were worked on. But unlikely an actual "performance patch" kind of patch.
And the article only mentions Xbox.
