Really love how this does capture the Bethesda game experience of walking in a direction, getting distracted by something happening to the side, going and helping out, then getting a reward that can feed back into the core gameplay loop you return to. Great work on this!
Or walking in a direction and seeing a giant building off to the side and you decide to go exploring. That exploration turns into a nightmare as you realize there's no light whatsoever in the building and it's pitch black. You walk forward and end up kicking a bucket down a hole in the floor by accident and you can only make out faint glowing things moving around at the bottom of the hole. You try to find the exit but because it's so dark you end up getting lost. Terror turns in anxiety as you're running through the building being chased by ghosts only to end up in some ritualistic hellhole where the only thing feeding back into the core game-play is fear. Fuck the Dunwich building! I didn't even know the pipboy had a flashlight until much later. There is nothing scarier then trying to leave a building but the game keeps telling you, "you can't fast travel while in a building, hurp derp." I was also playing it on an old CRT TV which only made it worse. This was the first time seeing glowing ghouls as well. > _ < So yeah, I really really hope this game captures that classic Bethesda game experience. I can see it now, there will be a derelict space craft out in space that has nothing to do with any main missions. The player enters the ship looking for loot only to find that there's nothing of value anywhere to be seen. The player attempts to leave the ship only to find out that the layout has changed and the map is telling him the exit is on the other side of the ship now. They make it to the other end of the ship and leave. However the loading screen is no longer for Starfield and it's the loading screen for Fallout 3: "Now entering the Dunwich building..." *cries in the fetal position* 😭😱
@@jordan1982 You know what, I think you have a point. These were probably suppose to be live action. But I like the animation more. Another reason why these strikes are working against these poor guys :(
so happy that they released these today! The free star collective is definitely my first role in my first playthrough! I love the free star rangers feel. their dusters are dope too! only 38 days away!
Yeah I doubt it will happen but if they move slow enough maybe, like just bigger power armor from fallout. I had no issue with the lack of ground transport until they showed mechs. Now I want to be a mech pilot.
@@StevenAvery4Life It can probably work and be in if they are basically oversized power armor from fallout. They were not very big in the trailer. Not the building sized ones of my dreams.
Whoever came up with the idea for these shorts and the people who worked on them deserve a raise. That is how I want big expansive games marketed to me from now on!!!!
@@Francois_Dupont Because the description explains who Vanna is, her backstory, and the story of the animation. Edit: They deleted their comment, but they were asking how we know that the girl in the video is a girl.
@@CoolColJ I think it was one of "them." Part of the alphabet community. Even the other white haired dude in the last trailer looked like he was part of it.
The three “Settled Systems” clips are a refreshing way to tease the game’s atmosphere and play experience. I love the Studio Ghibli/anime vibe and it confirms to me that the devs are in tune with their audience. Great stuff 👍
Definitely eager to hear more about the Colony Wars and see more about these mechs! This felt like seeing a Bethsoft side quest as a spectator and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the ride-along.
I really like this playthrough of being a tinkerer/scavenger where I have to piece together and maintain my ship and gear using only my skills and found parts.
Bethesda is really knocking it out the park with these promotions. Game looks amazing, and I'm so glad that Todd has also been honest about the games limitations.
This has nothing to do with the game. Just pointless marketing as usual instead of putting the resources into ensuring that series X had a VRR 60 fps option at launch. It needs to be 60 at the very least in space flight/combat and in the menus anyway. There is no excuse for it not to be. 30 can be for the massive ground based locations but locking the entire game to 30 with no VRR support in 2023 from a AAA first party studio is idiotic and senseless It’s just that it renders the series X useless as a next Gen console and proves Xbox have no faith in their own hardware and lied that the standard for this Gen would be 60 fps with up to 120 fps options. We have all seen what Unreal Engine 5 is capable of now even from just single people mucking about with it. Yet their game engine is so old it creaks yet will only be 30 fps on the worlds most powerful console? The even crazier thing is you don’t need a super powerful PC for 60 fps either.
@DEVILTAZ35 Don't know if you know this, but the marketing department and people in charge of making this stuff have nothing to do with optimization for 60FPS. It's really not pointless marketing as you can tell by the millions of views on each video, you just seem bitter Also, switching from 60FPS to 30 when going from space to land would suck. I would much rather have a consistent experience. And considering how intensive Bethesda games are on the CPU, I don't see the problem here. Watch Digital Foundry's video on the topic and stop wasting your time complaining about actual marketing material, which is separate from the game's direct development
I'm glad they are making such great promotions around Starfield, it really builds confidence that it'll be a fantastic game. Not to be too negative but if it doesn't live up to the hype, then I think Bethesda only goes down from here. Still super optimistic that it'll be great, I even bought the constellation edition so I hope I get my money's worth and maybe not another.... Canvas Bag incident.
@@DEVILTAZ35 It's too bad, but you chose yourself to buy obsolete hardware. I don't need to buy anything else than a PC and a Switch to play 99% of the best games out there. Next time, make better choices and be less mad.
@@DEVILTAZ35you clearly don't care about the game. Creation Engine 2 is built so that it allows BGS to make the kinds of game they do with tracking of all quests, NPCs' schedules and skills, and ofc the interactable clutter. Unreal 5 can't do that and it would waste too much time and resources learning to adjust and making changes to the guts of that engine to allow the creation of their games. If 60 frames is all you care about rather than the fact that the game is taking from every BGS RPG from Daggerfall and all the way to Fallout 4 on top of introducing brand new mechanics that were never in their previous games, then maybe not let the game be rent free in your head instead of bitching and moaning about it? You don't really seem to care about it anyways.
We all know the idea came from UA-camr, but it's also a good thing that he actually thought and did the change, so it's like a boss that listens advise and not one that is too proud to not change things because it wasn't his Idea.
I’m hoping that there’ll be ship repair missions in the game. Especially EVA mid flight repairs. That would be so dope. Then later, to escape that grind, optional repair drones that can do the work if we don’t feel like making the repairs ourselves.
Huhhh boy, you've done it now, Bethesda. You showed characters in mechs, and now errbody gonna be expecting that. Awesome videos btw, would love a full length movie or series in the Starfield universe with this art style.
I've heard some people wonder if the bandit trying to rob the old man is actually Sam Coo, as the gun is the same one Sam Coo carries in the direct. But I think it's more likely the weapon was just a common one used by the Free Star Collective military in the war and so there are just a bunch of them around.
I'm interested to see how the ship building works in this game. Maybe merchants or quests have unique parts for your ship. Imagine completing a quest only to find an experimental grav drive that lets you travel really far but has a small chance of sending you to another system then the one you wanted. Also, maybe we'll see characters similar to the ones we see in these trailers.
That's the Stuff to build Dreams. Please more of it, i would love to watch them Seems like this Ship is from his/her Parents and it's old. So this Burnout Spare Part is not easy to find. So in the end She was lucky to find nearly the same Old Ship Spare Part and she become Airborne
If you watch some of the gameplay trailers or Starfield Direct you can see the remains of those Mechs during the trailer. I called this out when they first showed it.
Aprendi que tal vez en Starfield tengamos eso, llaves de formas extrañas y que tal vez cada nave va a tener una llave de una forma unica y peculiar, me gusta.
*Builds mech out of ship in direct* *Todd says no "land vehicles* *Casually inserts mech fight in this* Me: There's gonna be mechs, isnt there squidward?

Really love how this does capture the Bethesda game experience of walking in a direction, getting distracted by something happening to the side, going and helping out, then getting a reward that can feed back into the core gameplay loop you return to. Great work on this!
Ye, i wonder if this is meant to be a hint to us for content? What if we can find her and or her parents bodies?
Doesn't happen to me, as an old man. I get sidetracked, that's it, it's over. What I set out to do in the 1st place, is lost to the ages.😄✌🏼

It’s just a skit, genius.
LOL. Love how we cannot tell if the character is male or female. Talk about woke trash.
Honestly a series in this style would be a great watch.
its got a 1970s/80s action hero feel to it.
It's interesting. They probably would have done a live action trailer if not for the strike. This was them improvising and people are responding well

Always wanted to play as a member of the galaxy rangers... Now i can. This game will be awesome !
Mine as well. I love the Fallout vibe, the capital looks like Diamond City.
If the game lets me I'll be a family person with a spouse and kids.
@@goblingoddessgaming608 I hope you are not done with making content (awesome content) on Fallout 4, goddess!

Imagine actual controllable mechs in the game, a future dlc perhaps?
Yeah I doubt it will happen but if they move slow enough maybe, like just bigger power armor from fallout. I had no issue with the lack of ground transport until they showed mechs. Now I want to be a mech pilot.
@@Ahglock If Bethesda doesn't, then the Modders will somehow. They got working vehicles in Fallout New Vegas, of all games.
bad idea to have mechs in this trailer if they aren't in the game. Bethesda knows how people are.

Too short, I wanted more.
Did not expect anything like this from Todd and the gang.
Really impressed.
The Fallout 4 anims were extremly cool too, in a totally different style
These are great animated shorts, brilliant way to show glimpses into the storylines & activities.
Hopefully we will be able to meet Vanna in the game!
why?
Can we just appreciate how good the music is!
This feels very Star Wars. Very similar vibe.
that is not a good thing

Looks like Vanna maxed out her Unarmed skill! Love these animations.
Great animation Bethesda can’t wait to play
One little teaser of the many quests we will get to experience soon!
Late to the party but I loved all of these tiny stories. They really give you a feel for each area.
Building the lore of an amazing universe is paramount for the success of this game, good job.
There is more emotion and compelling narrative in this clip than anything blizzard has released in recent years
Blizzard’s cinematics are better imo
@@folabi7218 I mean, Blizzard's animations aren't trying to mimic classic 70s/80s anime...
Who would've thought a story about needing new spark plugs would be so engaging. 😂
Thank God you can make your own character and your own choices in Bethesda games.
I joined the Crimson Fleet and back stabbed the Vigilance. 😁
I love these short stories. Really gets your imagination fired up.
Animation kinda reminds me of Studio Ghibli stuff. Would be awesome to see full series of this.
I thought it really looked like that Ghibli-inspired Solarpunk short, I'm thinking it's the same animation studio
Seriously love how much of a places vibe we are getting from these short 2 minute bits. Free Star for life!!!

Never saw a single trailer before launch. Now here I a, playing the game watching all the trailers.
Ahahah same
alright we need a tv show of starfield with this art style :D

Most interested in this faction. Need more info about the general lore and history of the Starfield world.
These shorts are getting me hyped to discover all the lore in this new universe, I can’t wait to play the game!
Nice. First look at the physical currency. And it looks a lot like what the game code is on in the collectors edition of the game.
They already confirmed the code was on a credit stick or whatever it's called
I'm hoping we actually see that photo taped to the memorial in-game, would be such a cool little detail
I loved it. When I thought I could not get more hyped for September 1st, here I am.
I’m hoping that there’ll be ship repair missions in the game. Especially EVA mid flight repairs. That would be so dope. Then later, to escape that grind, optional repair drones that can do the work if we don’t feel like making the repairs ourselves.
So MEchs are a part of the Starfield Universe :) This is good to know.

Hope is built at Bethesda
Can't wait for the hostile factions series now
this will just work, the game will be a succes and a show will only add to it
Just sold my ps5 and got a series x hyped
Best decision ever
this is the best way to introduce a new game
That's like Netflix's anthology series, but fresher and more promising. Hope it'll grow to smt bigger)

A whole new universe to explore… CANT WAIT 😃😃
I really hope we can meet Vanna in the game
This looks amazing!!
YES!!! The guys are beasts in animation!!! I could launch an easy series telling some excerpt or Spin off of Starfield... It would be too cool!!!
Keep these coming!! 😁

These have been so beautiful...I'd die for full episodes of animated Starfield
"Another settled system needs your help..."

I am so going to 3d print me some credits. I love the design
This game is going to be so cool I don’t care if it flops I love space games and will play until it gets fixed
I hope the next Elder Scrolls gets something as amazing before its release... Beautiful!
That Soundtrack at 0:33 - Holy mother.

This is awesome! Any chance we can see the traits and skills before launch?
Yeah at least show us all the backgrounds and traits ahead of time for swift character creation.
Wonderful animation. I like the simplicity of it and silent nature.

More of these please?
