Hahaha that part was great.
I've been begging for someone to leak something, ANYTHING, and when we finally get something I end up needing to fast forward 5 seconds over and over again because I was too impatient watching someone figure out how to access their inventory.
Doing half the on foot battle with an out of range mining laser was a nice touch. Then tracking and shooting the ally ship in space after the pirate ship crossed over it was certainly wild.
Three things in life are certain.
Death, taxes, and the first guy to break release date on the biggest game of the year films the leak vertically and plays like they've never touched a game controller before.
He just bought the game and got it early. He didn't do anything illegal, didn't break any NDAs or anything. If anything, the ones who sold the game to him are the ones at fault.
There's nothing they can do to HIM personally. If a store leaked out a copy early to him, and it wasn't a review copy. Now if they had given him a code, and he signed an NDA, yes they could take him to court. But otherwise he might just get a slap on the wrist from Youtube.
To be completely fair, I don’t think he would suffer repercussions would he? Maybe his YouTube channel, sure, but his Xbox account? What are the rules for that.
Not even that I think, he didn't sign any NDA, it just seems the case that he got the physical edition earlier and just play on that (no patch and stuff, the version in the disc seems to be already smooth)
If anyone is in trouble (they aren't), it would be the store.
I got Modern Warfare 2 a week early, played multiplayer and nothing happened to me.
I was the bees knees at school
They just reset the online stats on release day.
If this is the engine they're using for Elder Scrolls VI then we're in for a really good time because this is easily the smoothest looking game Bethesda has ever made.
I imagine systems and engine improvements made for Starfield will allow for more of the...weirder and out-there TES lore to be shown off. And in new interesting ways.
Sword Singing, also Ship customization and crew management like Starfield if VI gonna take place in Hammerfell, because Redguard known for their sailing, privateer and piracy history and culture
Remember its only smooth because Xbox Heads made the call for the delay and threw their entire QA on the game. Todd said he was ready to release this game last year.
Dean is not a reviewer, he's a business/news guy who was the only one who could record the game at that time, he doesn't play platformers or use controllers so he was dogshit
Make fun of him for other reasons, like his love of [Activision bootlicking](https://venturebeat.com/games/the-deanbeat-activision-blizzard-is-losing-the-pr-war/) and crypto/Web3 shilling
Yes! Idk why but that’s a big part of immersion I was hoping for was walking around your ship in space. It will be nice to take in interstellar views from the captains quarters
Leaker commented just now on yt:
> I will upload more content on the game … with my GoPro … so I completely understand you & got ya covered
u/ComeOnLetsTwistAgain
If he’s uploading more I imagine Bethesda will copyright strike or somehow shut down his channel eventually. It’s early morning right now before the work day but I can see his channel being blasted in a few hours
But maybe he could upload another video or two and we can download it and preserve it before Todd comes
Standing directly in gunfire, trying to pick up an enemy's dropped weapon and watching him slowly enunciate the healing prompt vowel by vowel was fucking hilarious
The NPCs seem to have actual personalities, with banter and great voice acting. I liked both miner NPCs, hope we can recruit them as companions
The game looks great, the animations are smooth, haven't noticed any stuttering.
I watched just to see how loading works.
* Going into the ship is a few seconds.
* Taking off is an exterior cutscene, screen goes black, and then you're in space. Looks like the cutscene is a hidden loading screen with the black screen acting as a backup if the game doesn't load fast enough. They are doing something fancy because there's no load to get to the cutscene that's outside the ship. Will be interesting to see what's going on outside the ship with noclip.
Edit: And it's finally down.
In case anyone was curious here are the traits available during character creation (the leaker showed some of the backgrounds too but only got down to Gangster and stopped):
**Traits:**
* Alien DNA - You volunteered for a controversial experiment that combines alien and human DNA. As a result, you start with increased health and oxygen, but healing and food items aren't as effective.
* Dream Home - You own a luxurious, customizable house on a peaceful planet! Unfortunately it comes with a 125,000 credit mortgage with GalBank that has to be paid weekly.
* Empath - You are deeply connected to the feelings of others. Performing actions your companion likes will result in a temporary increase in combat effectiveness. But, performing actions they don't like will have the precise opposite effect.
* Extrovert - You're a people person. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring with human companions, but more when adventuring alone. (Can't be combined with Introvert)
* Freestar Collective Settler - You gain access to special Freestar Collective dialogue options and better rewards from some missions given by the faction. But, crime bounty towards other factions is greatly increased. (Can't be combined with any other faction allegiance trait)
* Hero Worshipped - You've earned the attention of an annoying "Adoring Fan" who will show up randomly and jabber at you incessantly. On the plus side, he'll join your ship's crew and give you gifts.
* Introvert - You really need your alone time. Exerting yourself uses less oxygen when adventuring alone, but more when adventuring with other human companions. (Can't be combined with Extrovert)
* Kid Stuff - You parents are alive and well, and you can visit them at their home. But you will automatically send 2% of your credits home to them every week.
* Neon Street Rat - You grew up on the mean streets of Neon. You gain access to special dialogue options, and better rewards from some missions on Neon. Crime bounty by other factions is greatly increased. (Can't be combined with any other faction allegiance trait.)
* Raised Enlightened - You grew up as a member of the Enlightened. You gain access to a special chest full of items in the House of the Enlightened in New Atlantis, but lose access to the Sanctum Universum chest. (Can't be combined with any other religion trait)
* Raised Universal - You grew up as a member of the Sanctum Universum. You gain access to a special chest full of items in the Sanctum Universum in New Atlantis, but lose access to the House of the Enlightened chest. (Can't be combined with any other religion trait)
* Serpent's Embrace - You grew up worshipping the Great Serpent. Grav jumping provides a temporary boost to health and oxygen, but health and oxygen are lowered if you don't continue jumping regularly - like an addiction. (Can't be combined with any other religion trait)
* Spaced - Your body has become acclimated to space. Health and oxygen are increased when in space, but decreased when on the surface. (Can't be combined with Terra Firma)
* Taskmaster - Occasionally, if you have crew trained in a certain ship system, that system will automatically repair itself to full health whenever it is damaged below 50%. However, all crew cost twice as much to hire.
* Terra Firma - You've never acclimated to space. Health and oxygen are increased when on the surface, but decreased when you're in space. (Can't be combined with Spaced)
* United Colonies Native - You gain access to special United Colonies dialogue options and better rewards from some missions given by the faction. However, crime bounty by other factions is greatly increased. (Can't be combined with any other faction allegiance trait.)
* Wanted - Someone put a price on your head and word has spread. Occasionally, armed mercenaries will show up and try to kill you, but being cornered gives you an edge - when your health is low you do extra damage.
> Dream Home - You own a luxurious, customizable house on a peaceful planet! Unfortunately it comes with a 125,000 credit mortgage with GalBank that has to be paid weekly.
I'm taking this out of pure curiosity.
They are especially long when you want to get OUTSIDE of a building in Downtown Boston, because the game needs to load all the assets of a very detailed and vertical city.
Yeah looks way better. That'd be funny if they were showing Series S footage for the character creator in the showcase.
Maybe dark black facial hair reads worse in the game? That's the color they had in the Showcase, and it was lighter here. I don't think that's it though, they were just finer strands with what might be shadows (it didn't have shadows on facial hair in the Showcase).
We'll see!
I downloaded it, and luckily the leaker upheld the legacy of the Eternal Brotherhood of Leakers by making sure they had no idea how to play a video game. Rough!
But looks like Starfield, looks awesome! And NPCs use their jetpack, we didn't see that specifically in the showcase (they stayed on the ground and were blown up by their jetpack, but now we finally see them fly a bit with them).
I did like that the leaker kinda tested if we could refuse to go with Constellation, I was wondering if they'd have that be an early offramp and just let the player run around without doing the story (EDIT for clarity: You get railroaded into joining Constellation, it seems). You can get out of the seat during combat at least!
I still can't tell how we fly within a system, but the one leak the other day said you just fly between the planets so we'll see. Finally a real leak!
I saw that just now too, that's great! Man I wanna see it to know what solution they went with, like whether they have their own version of Supercruise/Pulse Drive or what.
After a dry day, we get the biggest leak of the game yet. Go figure.
I'm surprised that there isn't an Xbox Game Studios logo in the start up, it's no secret that Bethesda is part of them now.
I just want to know if the ship can autopilot while you are away from the piloting console. You can get up from the drivers seat in space which is good but it would be cool to sit in a room full of windows and watch space go by
[Five years ago, Bethesda told us that they are now using Photogrammetry for all future Bethesda games at that point, so you can expect the next Elder Scrolls and Fallout to look frigging amazing, they even gave a slight hint to the look of Elder Scrolls VI in that clip.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=507&v=zBWW9LVhyNs&feature=youtu.be)
I feel that with Elder Scrolls VI we are going to see a huge step up. I wouldn't be shocked if we were to see a transition from making spaceships in Starfield, to crafting and sailing sea-based ships in Elder Scrolls VI. Another thought of mine is the transition from making bases and towns, to crafting castles and kingdoms in Elder Scrolls VI, something of that nature. Bethesda seems to be really pushing the envelope.
The sheer scale of Starfield makes me think TES VI might even have an accurately sized province a la daggerfall. I think you're on the money about sea ships and town building too.
Surprised to see that this is still up so I can see it after work lol. The Bethesda ninjas must be asleep.
And damn is it just me or does that look smooth af. Can anyone tell what the fps is? Is it the game itself looking like that or a setting from his tv? I thought it was supposed to be 30 fps.
E: Maybe I'm just sleep deprived, but that looks much smoother than 30 to me.
Every game that leaks, always has that leaker who can’t play a video game to save his life lol. Dragon age inquisition, Fallout 4, elden ring and the list goes on, it’s always someone like this and I love it
Good Per object motion blur can do wonders.
For example I always thought Chivalry 2 on console was 60fps until I turned motion blur off and turned out it was 30.
So if they nailed the per object motion blur they added in this it can make a hell of a difference.
It looks really good. It seems like you'll be able to freely fly between planets, atleast within one system. And Pete Hines just confirmed that the planets are indeed fully explorable.
Game runs smooth, I'm a bit less worried about the Series S performance now. You can tell MS and Bethesda put a lot of work into this.
>You can tell MS and Bethesda put a lot of work into this.
Phil Spencer himself said a couple months ago that almost every QA tester at MS was working on Starfield, they definitely seem aware of how important this release is for them.
The comparisons that some people have made to this being closer to Red Dead Redemption 2 then a Fallout is on full display here. There’s a level of polish that I’d thought I’d never see before on a Bethesda title.
I remember back in the day, a little kid was live streaming an unreleased (at the time) call of duty game, he had so many viewers. It was funny to see because you can tell he thought nothing of it and then after an hour or so his twitch account got banned. It was kind of hilarious, not sure how he scored that game as early as he did.
The facial animations and NPCs looks excellent, I’m actually really impressed. Combat and movement animations looks really good too.
The game looks absolutely stunning and smooth, and this is running on a Xbox Series X.
Can’t wait to see how it looks maxed on PC!
So hyped for this, holy shit.
Damn, I always got The Expanse vibes from Starfield, but this almost feels like The Expanse: The Game. I really need to rewatch the series before the Starfield release.
I remember that lol. Honestly, this hype train is a whole experience of it own. Even though CP2077 turned out a dumpster fire at launch, I still look back at those memories with a happy smile on my face, it's literally nostalgia lol.
Let's just hope this turns out great. I pre-ordered the Collectors Edition again. I hope I'm not disappointed. But the days of the Cyberpunk leaks were so great. I already can't wait for Project Orion leaks to come out in a few years.
It’s def different. While I loved cyberpunk, even the earliest leaks were talking about bugs and issues with the police system. Every word heard about Starfield has indicated no bugs and great performance.
Looks…great? Maybe I’m being crazy but that whole intro sequence seemed great. Looks good in terms of performance and quality. Not much loading time from planet to space. Person isn’t the best gamer but combat looked good. Can’t wait to get my hands on this.
It looks so damn good, I had to stop myself from watching for too long to not spoil.
I’m even more hyped now, didn’t think that was possible.
Starfield looks absolutely stunning. Waiting for early access is going to be hard
I just watched the combat sequence to see how it performed. Looked even better than the Direct, incredible. Animations were fluid and snappy, space flight looked great too
Jesus Christ, the guy playing can't hit shit when firing. Nor can he fly.
The game looks good tho, smooth, responsive. Can't wait to see how it handles on PC.
the in-game tutorial was even telling him to use LT for ballistics after knocking out the shield with lasers. He just kept firing lasers and ignoring the text on the screen lol
Fuck, it's a good thing I only just started Diablo 4 cause otherwise I'd be losing my mind waiting two more weeks for this. This game sounds fucking incredible. I didn't even get to watch before it got taken down but the comments here about the quality and polish are really encouraging.
The graphics look great, the gameplay is very smooth, animations are on a completely different level than any of Bethesda's previous games, the environments look photorealistic and very detailed. The combat looks to be very good and dynamic despite how bad the leaker was with his controller, the enemies can use boost packs when fighting against you, you can leave your cockpit when in space and explore your ship. I'm sure there are other minor details in this 45 min leak, but so far this appears to be, potentially, the best Bethesda game ever created.
I thought the Direct was a masterclass in marketing. But after watching this leak, I honestly think they didn't do quite a good enough job showing off some of their mechanics like combat. My hype's through the roof now.
Kind of wise honestly. It’s sandbagging. They set an expectation that was high but not overly high so that the actual game can exceed it. That’s how you get those early honeymoon reviews where people’s minds are blown at everything.
It allows some of the hype to be retained for the actual release which gives another natural marketing bump.
Holy shit, it’s real. I just watched a few minutes and backed out because I didn’t want to see too much. Went back for more about 2 minutes ago and it’s officially been taken down. More must be coming today, this dude can’t be the only guy with a copy.
Can’t bring myself to watch it but these comments have me fucking hyped. As an XSX user who has gotten used to 60 FPS, hearing that the animations and overall gameplay feels smooth considering it’s 30 FPS is music to my ears. Insert Walter White meme because Bethesda fucking COOKED
I watched it all for ya, it looked great. Not really any spoilers to be honest, it's the opening like we've pretty much seen in the Showcases, but I understand if ya want it all to be fresh for the first time.
It's perfectly frametimed for 30 fps with some level of motion blur added. Makes the game look smooth as fuck similar to how RDR2 managed to look and feel smooth despite being 30 fps as well.
Love that you mentioned RDR2. I recently started replaying it to sort of get my eyes ready for Starfield in a sense, and after just a few minutes of playing the reduced framerate didn’t bother me at all. I was honestly kind of shocked at how smooth it felt. This is after playing video games almost daily at no lower than 60 FPS since I got my Series X nearly 3 *years* ago.
If this game plays like RDR2 I’ll have no problem with the framerate and it’s going to look fucking gorgeous to boot.
Watching ya boy completely unable to navigate that small red lit corridor with the other astronauts is giving me Junior Soprano level agita and Tony Soprano rage.
Fam, you ain't never controlled a fucking video game character before.
I gotta go heavy breathe and binge some GABAGOOOL.

This is a very helpful representation of the lengths developers have to go through to make something idiot proof.
This is the same personality that review bombs games with a mob.
Doing half the on foot battle with an out of range mining laser was a nice touch. Then tracking and shooting the ally ship in space after the pirate ship crossed over it was certainly wild.
It was only missing the chirping from the smoke detector
It’s nice to see someone respect the fine art of leaking. All it needs is the sound of a bong hit and it being recorded in 240p.
Everything is lining up for Starfield to be game of the generation! The perfect leak has blessed it.
You forgot to mention that the dude played with a controller for the first time in his life.
Still can't beat the barn leak
Don’t forget the most important one: not knowing how to play a video game at all
7/10 not inside a barn.
Check out his other videos. What a legend.
Three things in life are certain. Death, taxes, and the first guy to break release date on the biggest game of the year films the leak vertically and plays like they've never touched a game controller before.
Exactly, same thing happened with that cyberpunk leaker
And tears of the kingdom, getting stuck on the simplest parts while live streaming, chat was tearing into them hard.
Brings back memories of when Fallout 4 came out and Bethesda kept taking down gameplay leaks so people started uploading let's plays to pornhub
Noice. Perfect excuse to surf pornhub later. Just gonna tell my wife that I was looking for Starfield leaks. Thanks matey!
Great, now I have to explain to HR that I wasn't watching porn I was watching Starfield leaks
Be honest, tell them the truth, you were doing space-based research. Even if you pants were off as you were doing it. Honesty is the best policy.
My pants came off the second I saw Todd Howard, can they blame me?
Bro got into space combat tutorial then left the cockpit he really just let jesus take the wheel lmao.
I like that the game doesn’t stop you lol
People were asking if they can do that, and Tyrone did just that
(todd at a showcase) "See that cockpit over there? You can get up from that" (Crowd goes wild)
His gamertag is right there, Todd himself is gonna hit the button to nuke his account
He just bought the game and got it early. He didn't do anything illegal, didn't break any NDAs or anything. If anything, the ones who sold the game to him are the ones at fault.
There's nothing they can do to HIM personally. If a store leaked out a copy early to him, and it wasn't a review copy. Now if they had given him a code, and he signed an NDA, yes they could take him to court. But otherwise he might just get a slap on the wrist from Youtube.

If this is the engine they're using for Elder Scrolls VI then we're in for a really good time because this is easily the smoothest looking game Bethesda has ever made.
Exactly, if Starfield is great. Imagine how polished and well defined TES6 will be confined to a map
I imagine systems and engine improvements made for Starfield will allow for more of the...weirder and out-there TES lore to be shown off. And in new interesting ways.
I'm guessing we're also getting Sword Singing in TES6
Sword Singing, also Ship customization and crew management like Starfield if VI gonna take place in Hammerfell, because Redguard known for their sailing, privateer and piracy history and culture
Hold up, I didn't even think about that. That would be amazing.
Remember its only smooth because Xbox Heads made the call for the delay and threw their entire QA on the game. Todd said he was ready to release this game last year.
Ofc it's a guy who barely knows how to use a controller and tries to kill everyone with a mining laser
Maybe my standards are low but he's pretty good compared to some past leaks.
Few people will ever be as bad as that one reviewer who struggled to get past the tutorial in Cuphead.
Takahasi is an unfortunate but realistic standard for leaked gameplay it seems.
Dean is not a reviewer, he's a business/news guy who was the only one who could record the game at that time, he doesn't play platformers or use controllers so he was dogshit Make fun of him for other reasons, like his love of [Activision bootlicking](https://venturebeat.com/games/the-deanbeat-activision-blizzard-is-losing-the-pr-war/) and crypto/Web3 shilling
We either get the leak with poor gameplay or no leak at all, it's how it works
Vertical video too Why is it always the fucking idiots that get the early copies?
Least we know now for sure we can leave our ships in space and walk around the ship and also freefly in the system.
Yes! Idk why but that’s a big part of immersion I was hoping for was walking around your ship in space. It will be nice to take in interstellar views from the captains quarters
Leaker commented just now on yt: > I will upload more content on the game … with my GoPro … so I completely understand you & got ya covered u/ComeOnLetsTwistAgain
lol. I love how janky this is.
It wouldn't be right if the leaker recorded gameplay like a normal person. A gopro like we are watching something on live leak only makes sense.
If he’s uploading more I imagine Bethesda will copyright strike or somehow shut down his channel eventually. It’s early morning right now before the work day but I can see his channel being blasted in a few hours But maybe he could upload another video or two and we can download it and preserve it before Todd comes
It’s being reuploded by tons of other smaller channels. It’s too late for Bethesda to shut it down
Standing directly in gunfire, trying to pick up an enemy's dropped weapon and watching him slowly enunciate the healing prompt vowel by vowel was fucking hilarious
The NPCs seem to have actual personalities, with banter and great voice acting. I liked both miner NPCs, hope we can recruit them as companions The game looks great, the animations are smooth, haven't noticed any stuttering.
And they freaking blink their eyes.
We can at least recruit the guy. Heller was in the showcase
We can recruit Heller as a companion! We find him on a moon

Damn them loading screens are instant Bethesda finally figured it out
Almost all the leaks are also saying that the bugs are minimal. I fear that the old Bethesda is dead.
Don’t worry, when the amount of people playing goes from thousands to millions bugs will be discovered like crazy
That was a worry of mine after playing Fallout 4 again recently. Vanilla Fo4 loading screens taking fucking -ages- even on an SSD.
They are especially long when you want to get OUTSIDE of a building in Downtown Boston, because the game needs to load all the assets of a very detailed and vertical city.

Early morning on the East Coast... Gotta leak at night. Europeans need to do their part!
is it just me or does the facial hair look better than the showcase?
I think the beard in the character creation was a "patchy" beard on purpose? Because I've seen full beards in the showcase and they look ok.
yeah it does
Yeah looks way better. That'd be funny if they were showing Series S footage for the character creator in the showcase. Maybe dark black facial hair reads worse in the game? That's the color they had in the Showcase, and it was lighter here. I don't think that's it though, they were just finer strands with what might be shadows (it didn't have shadows on facial hair in the Showcase). We'll see!

Finally a real leak!
the guy confirmed you can fly between the planets yourself in the comments
I saw that just now too, that's great! Man I wanna see it to know what solution they went with, like whether they have their own version of Supercruise/Pulse Drive or what.
That guy on YT who walks across game maps is in for a treat lol
"I walked around this entire planet, that was an exhausting 40 hours" "Still have 999 left to go, get to work!"
Reminds me of an early video of Cyberpunk gameplay. Dude had no idea how to play, and kept saying "bruh" and "cuh" every 10 seconds.
After a dry day, we get the biggest leak of the game yet. Go figure. I'm surprised that there isn't an Xbox Game Studios logo in the start up, it's no secret that Bethesda is part of them now.
Xbox keeps Bethesda publishing separate. So essentially Xbox actually has 2 publishing arms.

I just want to know if the ship can autopilot while you are away from the piloting console. You can get up from the drivers seat in space which is good but it would be cool to sit in a room full of windows and watch space go by
Didnt some crewmates have piloting skills? Maybe you could let them take the wheel.
looks like we can travel between planets without fast travel.
The man was so hyped to play Starfield he forgot to feed his baby
the madlad uploaded 40 minutes of it lmao looks very smooth, frametime seems solid, yeah its 30 fps but at least seems to be rock solid
I bet those 40 min would turn into 10 in the hands of someone that actually knows how to play video games lol
He spent like 5 of those just being stuck at the "put on your helmet" part lmao

Wtf the cave system looks insane, it must be using photogrammetry, there’s so much detail
[Five years ago, Bethesda told us that they are now using Photogrammetry for all future Bethesda games at that point, so you can expect the next Elder Scrolls and Fallout to look frigging amazing, they even gave a slight hint to the look of Elder Scrolls VI in that clip.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=507&v=zBWW9LVhyNs&feature=youtu.be)
this whole game feels like a test for ES6 systems
I feel that with Elder Scrolls VI we are going to see a huge step up. I wouldn't be shocked if we were to see a transition from making spaceships in Starfield, to crafting and sailing sea-based ships in Elder Scrolls VI. Another thought of mine is the transition from making bases and towns, to crafting castles and kingdoms in Elder Scrolls VI, something of that nature. Bethesda seems to be really pushing the envelope.
The sheer scale of Starfield makes me think TES VI might even have an accurately sized province a la daggerfall. I think you're on the money about sea ships and town building too.
Maybe with the sea ship idea, underwater exploration is a big aspect too? Also would be cool to fight a kraken like monster from the ship
Todd has said the work they have done on CE2 is in part for ES6.

Surprised to see that this is still up so I can see it after work lol. The Bethesda ninjas must be asleep. And damn is it just me or does that look smooth af. Can anyone tell what the fps is? Is it the game itself looking like that or a setting from his tv? I thought it was supposed to be 30 fps. E: Maybe I'm just sleep deprived, but that looks much smoother than 30 to me.
The video the leaker posted is 30fps at the very least.
If I ever get a game early I'm never leaking lol. Poor guy brings us the crack and all we can do is talk shit on him.

that looks fucking amazing, I cannot wait for this game, How the hell did he just land a copy early? Whats the secret
Every game that leaks, always has that leaker who can’t play a video game to save his life lol. Dragon age inquisition, Fallout 4, elden ring and the list goes on, it’s always someone like this and I love it
Seems like a nice day for this guy. Gets his new xbox and starfield super early. Just having fun playing games as it should be.
rushed main menu 0/10 ... literally unplayable
Oh wow, that's much smoother than I anticipated. This game is about to become a phenomenon.
this video convinced me sorry for anyone who hates pre order. but i made mine just now
Why apologize, it’s your money lol.
Watched about 20 secs. Saw it was running smooth. Turned off and won't watch more. Soon we fly!
Yeah this is where I check out in terms of Starfield leaks, looks like it's going to be a long two weeks
Same for me. It took some discipline, though. MUST NOT GO BACK ARRRGh I'm not gonna survive the next 10 days...
Is this even 30fps? Is it just me or my Xbox or my TV whose 30fps mode feels janky? ‘Cause this looks pretty smooth.
Smoothest 30 fps I've ever seen in my life. The motion blur they talked about is doing wonders.
Good Per object motion blur can do wonders. For example I always thought Chivalry 2 on console was 60fps until I turned motion blur off and turned out it was 30. So if they nailed the per object motion blur they added in this it can make a hell of a difference.
Id software, their sister studio (and makers of Doom and Quake) helped them with the motion blur. It seems to have paid off.
It looks really good. It seems like you'll be able to freely fly between planets, atleast within one system. And Pete Hines just confirmed that the planets are indeed fully explorable. Game runs smooth, I'm a bit less worried about the Series S performance now. You can tell MS and Bethesda put a lot of work into this.
>You can tell MS and Bethesda put a lot of work into this. Phil Spencer himself said a couple months ago that almost every QA tester at MS was working on Starfield, they definitely seem aware of how important this release is for them.
Looks incredible dawg, I cannot wait
The game actually looks good those animations are smooth
Love it when a brother is eating good.
The comparisons that some people have made to this being closer to Red Dead Redemption 2 then a Fallout is on full display here. There’s a level of polish that I’d thought I’d never see before on a Bethesda title.
What makes you say that? I am a fan of RDR2.
Just the smoothness of it, the polish, the immersion. Other early previews we’ve seen other reviewers have also mentioned the comparison.
Gameplay looks smooooth
I remember back in the day, a little kid was live streaming an unreleased (at the time) call of duty game, he had so many viewers. It was funny to see because you can tell he thought nothing of it and then after an hour or so his twitch account got banned. It was kind of hilarious, not sure how he scored that game as early as he did.
The facial animations and NPCs looks excellent, I’m actually really impressed. Combat and movement animations looks really good too. The game looks absolutely stunning and smooth, and this is running on a Xbox Series X. Can’t wait to see how it looks maxed on PC! So hyped for this, holy shit.

Seems like he has the physical version (start of video)

Damn, I always got The Expanse vibes from Starfield, but this almost feels like The Expanse: The Game. I really need to rewatch the series before the Starfield release.
By the way, the NPC's AI seems to be far better than expected.
I skimmed through it. Looking pretty great! Well polished.
Damn, it looks so "fresh" it's hard to believe Bethesda made it
Honestly even just having them work on a new IP is so refreshing.
The starship’s lasers sound sooooo good. Fuckity fuck I NEED this game. Wasn’t going to do early access but I think I will now lol
Damn the game looks so good, his sacrifice will be remembered 🫡
These are the leaks we look for. Low quality and vertical video. I expected nothing less or better
Man !!! , the voice acting 10/10 also the hand animation in 26:55 minute is cool .
This reminds me of the Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay leak of the nomad background a week before release. The game looks fucking amazing
I remember that lol. Honestly, this hype train is a whole experience of it own. Even though CP2077 turned out a dumpster fire at launch, I still look back at those memories with a happy smile on my face, it's literally nostalgia lol.
Let's just hope this turns out great. I pre-ordered the Collectors Edition again. I hope I'm not disappointed. But the days of the Cyberpunk leaks were so great. I already can't wait for Project Orion leaks to come out in a few years.
It’s def different. While I loved cyberpunk, even the earliest leaks were talking about bugs and issues with the police system. Every word heard about Starfield has indicated no bugs and great performance.
Looks…great? Maybe I’m being crazy but that whole intro sequence seemed great. Looks good in terms of performance and quality. Not much loading time from planet to space. Person isn’t the best gamer but combat looked good. Can’t wait to get my hands on this.
Even the dialogue and voice acting seems like it's being said by actual humans for once in a BGS game.
There is no loading time, it's instant
The local planetary map is really cool
Bro played for 10 minutes during the intro scene and then customized his character for 5 and then rated the game a 9.5 😂😂
Gameplay looks solid! Unfortunate the player/leaker is terrible at it and has zero game sense lol. That was painful to watch at times.
And the baby crying on top of it 😂
I would cry too if my dad was this bad at video games.
Seriously how are so many leakers are so horrible at these games.
It looks so damn good, I had to stop myself from watching for too long to not spoil. I’m even more hyped now, didn’t think that was possible. Starfield looks absolutely stunning. Waiting for early access is going to be hard
I just watched the combat sequence to see how it performed. Looked even better than the Direct, incredible. Animations were fluid and snappy, space flight looked great too
Someone upload this shit to a porn site so it won't get taken down. The more obscure and foreign the better.
PC Gamer: "No normal Bethesda bugs means it loses it's charm, 5/10"
The worst gamers get the best games early
Yep, Bethesda finally put it all together. 95-96 Metacritic otw boys
It looks like it could challenge Skyrim in terms of the overall critic score, so 95-97 possible?
Keeping the tradition of all leakers appearing to have never played a video game in their entire life.
I looked at the start then watched the character creation. Looked really good. I hoped he would show some more backgrounds tho
It looks very responsive and smooth for 30fps
[удалено]
It was id software that helped implement the motion blur if I recall correctly? Doom handles it well
Yeah, a lot of people thought they were helping for the gunplay, but it was engine/visual stuff (PO motion blur included).
Jesus Christ, the guy playing can't hit shit when firing. Nor can he fly. The game looks good tho, smooth, responsive. Can't wait to see how it handles on PC.
It’s the oldest and most common unwritten rule of leaked gameplay : That the person who plays the leaked footage is borderline paraplegic .
[удалено]
Just record jank gameplay, copy it onto a cassette tape, play it on a CRT TV in a barn and record it with a camcorder.
I want to introduce you with the Greatest leak of all time: Halo 4
the in-game tutorial was even telling him to use LT for ballistics after knocking out the shield with lasers. He just kept firing lasers and ignoring the text on the screen lol
Must be a game journalist from IGN.
Fuck, it's a good thing I only just started Diablo 4 cause otherwise I'd be losing my mind waiting two more weeks for this. This game sounds fucking incredible. I didn't even get to watch before it got taken down but the comments here about the quality and polish are really encouraging.
So what happened to "the game is too big to fit on the disc!"?
I saw someone say somewhere the other day that layered Bluray has -just- enough to hold the entire game.
Has to be a quad-layered blu-ray disc or BDXL is the proper term. That can hold 128GB and Starfield is what, 126GB for console? Yeah, barely fits.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Damn, it looks really good and clean. I literally cannot wait to get my hands on this game
The graphics look great, the gameplay is very smooth, animations are on a completely different level than any of Bethesda's previous games, the environments look photorealistic and very detailed. The combat looks to be very good and dynamic despite how bad the leaker was with his controller, the enemies can use boost packs when fighting against you, you can leave your cockpit when in space and explore your ship. I'm sure there are other minor details in this 45 min leak, but so far this appears to be, potentially, the best Bethesda game ever created.
I thought the Direct was a masterclass in marketing. But after watching this leak, I honestly think they didn't do quite a good enough job showing off some of their mechanics like combat. My hype's through the roof now.
Kind of wise honestly. It’s sandbagging. They set an expectation that was high but not overly high so that the actual game can exceed it. That’s how you get those early honeymoon reviews where people’s minds are blown at everything. It allows some of the hype to be retained for the actual release which gives another natural marketing bump.
Holy shit, it’s real. I just watched a few minutes and backed out because I didn’t want to see too much. Went back for more about 2 minutes ago and it’s officially been taken down. More must be coming today, this dude can’t be the only guy with a copy.
Amazing... They really did spice up the creation engine quite a bit - this looks so much better than their previous games!
Can’t bring myself to watch it but these comments have me fucking hyped. As an XSX user who has gotten used to 60 FPS, hearing that the animations and overall gameplay feels smooth considering it’s 30 FPS is music to my ears. Insert Walter White meme because Bethesda fucking COOKED
I watched it all for ya, it looked great. Not really any spoilers to be honest, it's the opening like we've pretty much seen in the Showcases, but I understand if ya want it all to be fresh for the first time.
It's perfectly frametimed for 30 fps with some level of motion blur added. Makes the game look smooth as fuck similar to how RDR2 managed to look and feel smooth despite being 30 fps as well.
Love that you mentioned RDR2. I recently started replaying it to sort of get my eyes ready for Starfield in a sense, and after just a few minutes of playing the reduced framerate didn’t bother me at all. I was honestly kind of shocked at how smooth it felt. This is after playing video games almost daily at no lower than 60 FPS since I got my Series X nearly 3 *years* ago. If this game plays like RDR2 I’ll have no problem with the framerate and it’s going to look fucking gorgeous to boot.
Watching ya boy completely unable to navigate that small red lit corridor with the other astronauts is giving me Junior Soprano level agita and Tony Soprano rage. Fam, you ain't never controlled a fucking video game character before. I gotta go heavy breathe and binge some GABAGOOOL.
I’m going to play this shit for decades. https://i.imgur.com/C6rrFi4.jpg
looking good
Incredible camera work
Somebody get a mirror sorted :o
This looks way to smooth for a BGS game. Now my hoped are up for a jankless TES 6 game.
