        I'm not even trying to rag on western devs particularly, I just think the space genre is moronic
        people will always have unmeetable expectations for it and feature creep becomes such a huge issue. Bethesda of all people certainly is not gonna release something that differentiates themselves from slop like ED or NMS, it'll just be the same shit we've seen for almost 10 years with typical lowest common denominator bethesda RPG elements

          and I should add:
          Elite Dangerous which came out in 2014 and is basically in maintenance mode now looks miles better visually than anything that Bethesda has shown in any of their trailers and showcases. And it's worth making that comparison because that is very close to the style they are going for, just fricking grim

          there's more depth in any random 15 minute span of gameplay in a Bethesda game than there is in the entirety of NMS. there's zero chance these games will be comparable in any sense except the fact they involve space travel.

              There is no chance that Bethesda will make such a grind borefest as NMS is.

              Starfield will be a messy buggy mess, and even a mediocre game, but it will entertain and exploration will be decent, there will be some stakes in the game something Hello Games is incapable of implementing.

    It's a set of genetic traits much more common in Europeans (individuality, creativity, curiosity), further reinforced and amplified by the culture, and especially in the USA which acts as a genetic filter for people who prioritize adventure, newness and individuality over tribalism and conformity. In Asia and especially in China it's kind of the opposite.

    Now I know this game will run like ass when they have a copy pasted dll for lighting compatibility with DX12.
    It's no wonder they failed to get more than 30fps on console when a basic engineer isnt there to just simple enable multilayered radiance caching, otherwise this game would easily run at 60fps.
    This game is already a clusterfrick, sad really because it was looking decent outside the technical.

              Todd already said you can land anywhere in the summer 2022 presentation. In addition you can wrap around the planet. The world is locally flat but tiles are generated around you which map to a sphere internally until you end up where you started.

    By and large Japan doss not have the technical prowess to make games of that scope, and they definitely aren't capable of making a Bethesda or Rockstar level game. They're more about sticking to a formula that works.

      has part of an answer. Since the internet became a thing, one should always factor in the truth that japan's skillset, standards, and development tech is roughly a decade behind the west. PC having been such a niche market for them is likely the reason. Now that it's growing more, maybe they'll start to catch up.
      That said, when large swathes of gaming wouldn't exist without games like Mario, Zelda, Gradius, Street Fighter(or karate champ if you're autisticly rooting it), and they push out completely original shit like Katamari with fair regularity, saying they never "push the boundries" and "never make or made anything ambitious as this" is disingeneous at best.

    Asians want a game that is purely mechanical. "Can you master mechanic x?" "Can you pull off combo y 64928 times in a row?". The setting/graphics are just a vehicle to deliver the underlying mechanics. Western games are about escapism and storytelling primarily.

    I still don't see what they're doing differently than what they've already done in their previous games. Dog fights in space I guess? That's neat but we've had that forever. It's just gonna be your average bethesda RPG but with procedurally generated planets you will sometimes have to visit for radiant quests.

    "Pushing the boundaries" is the marketing or only applies to graphics. Western audiences love them graphics. I'd argue japs push boundaries further gameplay wise then any western devs attempt

    The West is kind of the epicenter of innovation in general. Even talent from overseas gets absorbed into the Western companies. Companies like Valve were formed from some of the most talented individuals in the world, flush with cash, just bumming around in the same neighborhood.

    There's absolutely nothing ambitious about being poor man's Star Citizen. It doesn't even look better or more interesting than NMS.

        If BOTW and TOTK are considered actual games, then so is Star Citizen.
