Does it really need to be explained?
I’m hyped for Elden Ring. I love Miyazaki’s games and he’s never let me down before. I didn’t need to see the leaked footage to get hyped.
I’m hyped to see what Guerrilla, Sucker Punch, Insomniac and Santa Monica put out next, because they have proven pedigree, not because of some 1 minute Horizon trailer. Same for GTA 6, TES 6, The Witcher 4.
I get hyped when one of my favourite movies gets a sequel green kit, or when one of my favourite authors announces they are working on something, or when a band I like announces a new album.
I don’t have to forensically know everything about a product to be hyped for it.
God Howard won’t disappoint with Starfield.
I suspect you already knew all of this, because you too are a human being, but you probably just wanted to use the word inorganic in relation to this game. The funny thing is that most ‘hype’ is usually manufactured by the companies pushing bull shots, trailers, ‘friendly previews’ and by devs making all sorts of statements, making that the most inorganic hype of all. Whereas Starfield hype is purely just from people who love TES and Fallout and are excited to see what Bathesda can do in a new setting.

While I understand the sentiment, Bethesda isn't Naughty Dog or Rockstar. They release games full of bugs. More importantly, their last game Fallout76 was a total dud, and it still is.
I hope Starfield turns out to be a AAA great 10/10 game, because the industry does need high-quality SP games more than ever.
76 was mainly developed by Austin and it's basically a multiplayer experiment developed using the last gen version of the creation engine.
Starfield is another story. It's likely it will have plenty of bugs though.

I'm an "obvious fanboy" because I dislike the Series S even though I've owned Xboxes, SEGA, and Nintendo consoles and currently play heavily on PC and PS5?
FOH! You don't know me or my gaming history you clown.

Big space sci fi rpg has got me very interested and the xbox series consoles could definitely do with an exclusive that's not on PlayStation. Only downside is its made by Bethesda who haven't made a game I liked since 2011. Will gamepass day one, this could be massive for xbox and gamepass if it turns out excellent.

I'm in two minds about responding to this because of your attempt to throw jabs over a difference of opinion. Consider this... Suppose just for a second if you can that I'm a gamer who needs to see gameplay so that I can make an assessment for myself? One of the games I'm most hyped for this gen seemingly came out of nowhere
I wasn't trying to diminish your hype for the game. As I mentioned earlier, I figured there was some leaked gameplay that got erased. But all I've seen thus far is an alpha screen shot. I'm interested to see more. Also, I too have studios I trust but I can count those on one hand. Don't be mad at me if your favourite studio isn't one of them.

Mr. Community
It's an exclusive and gets hyped by people who own the platform this is releasing on.
Same with Sony or Nintendo games.

I didn't know this till today.They cared so much they tried to buy exclustivity
This gives me confidence in the game. I guess Sony saw something good there.

Starfield is exclusive. Would God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn end up on Xbox. There is no timed exclusivity either. If you want to play buy an xbox or use a PC.

Wasn't there a rumour that the whole reason Microsoft bought Bethesda was because Sony were locking down Bethesda exclusivity and they were after Starfield? We've seen death loop and Tokyo ghost thing go that way so it has some evidence behind it.
If that's the case Sony must have seen something in the game and known how much of a megaton exclusivity would be.
I guess MS were just like....wait a minute, fuck that.

Or if you have a PC as well as PS5 you will just play it?

No idea why exclusivity has become such a huge deal?
MS has given you lot of opportunity to play it. If you dont have xbox, extremely likely you would own an ok PC.
If you have neither, they even offer an amazing little console for $299. Add a month of gamepass for $10 and bring its effective price to $220 compared to buying game at $100 on playstation.
If you cant even do this, maybe you dont want to play the game and simply are trolling.

There is a valid argument on both sides. I have been a big fan of Bethesda going all the way back to Sea Dogs (actually, Wayne Gretzky Hockey) but they are well known for releasing games with a lot of bugs and they have had some duds along the way too. I am holding judgement on this game until we actually see some real-time gameplay. We have yet to see a trailer or current screenshot. I hope we get flooded with info this summer.
You’ll have to try Xcloud

don't know why people were expecting it to come to Playstation lol. i guess if you want to play it you'll need to buy an Xbox, build a PC, or use xCloud
i hope you're talking about Playstation fans...
no it isn't but Windows is and MS already release games on Steam (halo, forza, flight sim)Steam is not a Microsoft platform.

people are idiots then.
they do indeed release in a buggy mess. i remember Skyrim being a mess on PS3 for months. i remember having to mod the shit out of FO4 on PC because it could drop to ~15-20fps (from 60-80fps) for no real reason.
but honestly i have to say i'm loving the denial in here. Elder Scrolls + Fallout games have sold well and are considered classics (Skyrim/New Vegas at least) and now suddenly people can't understand why people care about them?
just because Playstation owners have for years said Xbox needs games and now MS bought rights to games they don't like it cause they can't play them on their Playstation?

Why do people make posts like this? People here have certainly speculated that, but that was by no means a consensus. Maybe the PS5 fanboys were vocally promoting such nonsense, but lacking any hard data I am going to assume they are a minority.
Anyone with half a brain knows that these exclusives can and will drive console sales and/or Gamepass adoption. People speculated that maybe they would come to PS after a year or longer if MS thought it was worth it. But with Gamepass the library is important. Having a library full of games you missed because they never came to PS will always be an incentive to try Gamepass on PC or to buy an Xbox for it even a few years in the future. I.e. it is a long term strategy to grow their userbase.
Really? I get what you are saying, but it kind of shows that PS doesn't really have anything yet revealed that rises to the level of a proper Bethesda single player RPG. A follow up up game from those who gave us Skyrim, a multiplatform game that still sells a fair amount a decade later is way above a new IP and a long running action platformer that has been a PS exclusive for 4 gens. Maybe Final Fantasy works here for some, or if Sony Money Hats GTA6.

The Series S exists. The 1070 is still very much supported by Nvidia through driver updates and it's more powerful than the Series S.
Provided he doesn't want to play at 4k and is comfortable playing games at 1080p/1440p 60fps without ray tracing then that card will still have legs in it through to at least the mid point of this generation.
If people want to be ignorant towards PC hardware in the pursuit of promoting Xcloud (whatever other shitty streaming service they want to push) then go ahead, but the fact is the 1070 outperforms hardware Microsoft themselves are billing as "next gen".

To be fair, they weren’t clear enough, that’s why this is still talked about.
They could have said:
- The Elder Scrolls VI, Starfield, Indiana Jones and everything else Bethesda is making is exclusive to Xbox and PC.
- Not, it’s not timed exclusivity. Full exclusives.

Saying Bethesda and Todd Howard have a lot to prove is hilarious. Bethesda and their IPs are the face of WRPGs lol

Finally some common sense.Desperate? Really? I mean it's their choice. But I don't think no one will desperate about it
You don't get desperate when you are dumped by your partner, you won't get desperate for a game not running on a platform.
I am happy if Starfield is not on PS5:
- Gives a push, to Sony, to fill the void on its platform
- If it's on Gamepass, and it's passably interesting, I can get a €15 pass for 1 month, beat the game on PC and drop Gamepass. Exacly how I did with WD Legions and AC:Valhalla: I got UBIpass for 1 month and played and beat 2 AAA games for €15
Then I'll keep my Death Stranding (which I enjoyed very much!)
They have a fuck ton to prove, given the past lack luster years.

You don't have to make purchases through the windows store like you do the Google play store on android.
You can get a Windows key for ~$10 and then never give another penny to Microsoft while still being able to make full use of the Windows platform while the same isn't true on android/iOS. That's the difference between an open ecosystem and a closed one.

Todd Howard didn't make this game. Show the last game he made since hes the face of BethesdaOh the typical persecution complex strikes again!
I mean before you become so irrationally defensive, maybe you should take a look at the last major release from Bethesda...

Series S says hello.... a GTX 1070 is still much more potent than that thing.
So unless MS plans to just drop the Series S and max out the Series X completely you are wrong.
But ofc this is Bethesda we`re talking about and we all know that the game will run like shit on all systems, no matter the hardware, until they`ve patched it up ~6 months later.
