Focus on jully. I heard this release date date before the original release data. (So i'm fine, if it comes sooner it's better) Jully was probably the aim for the max waiting time all along. 🤷♀️
I agree with you a lot there man we definitely need to see a showcase soon or I'm going to lose it been waiting so long to see something from Bethesda can't wait much longer with excitement for this game can't wait to see what's new
@tjhouston1614 been following for 5yrs and with disappointment from FO76 I went back to FO4 while waiting for this. As many others did too...but it only last so long...like you said..need something new!
@@lioraja9951 not sure what you mean by that. If that’s supposed to be something akin too, “you need to get out more,“ I guarantee I have done more in my life than you can possibly imagine.
@@starfieldsignal There's nothing wrong with covering just Starfield. Keep up the fantastic work and I'm hoping we can play this game sooner rather than later!
I love when Todd talked about the deeper relationship system. It’s definitely something they have needed to innovate on, especially in comparison to other RPG‘s in this area. Just thinking about dragon age or Mass Effect or Witcher three… Your companions or relationships there, held weight to you as the player. They mattered and were meaningful. Bethesda system with companions lacked any real relationship or meaning, and ultimately felt like they were just walking backpacks. Immersion is of key importance in a RPG, and finding ways to focus on this and innovate on this is very important. Choices have consequences, so every choice you make, or don’t make should have a appropriate consequence for that. This intern allows for both replayability on a massive scale, potentially but also provides meaning and weight to your choices or non-choices. This should be implemented as often and as much as possible, as it creates that sense of immersion that is so very vital with RPG’s. In my opinion, you should never be able to have access to everything. There are some elements of the faction approach with accessibility that I think is wrong. I don’t think you should be able to access all the factions in one play through in particular because it removes the meaning and importance of your original choice With a faction to replace it with convenience. I can understand the argument both ways but you have to assume that these factions are apart from each other because they do not agree with each other or have different priorities. So therefore aligning yourself with one faction or another, should put you at odds to sum, greater or lesser extent with another faction. so you should not be able to then turn around and join every single faction because then the choice you make in regards to joining a faction becomes meaningless. Plus, this removes just further replayability value for again, the sake of convenience.
It's like... I've heard the devs talk about those things so it's not a surprise really but you are doing a great job in organizing that info and explaining it in a way that the more I hear about it the more I'm excited for this game! Keep up the great work! 👍
@@Gafferman the Devs hinted it.. for people like Starfield Signal to pick it up and break it down for us - the more slow minded among us... 😅 therefor we owe them a great 'Thank you' !
Love what you do man it's always comforting to come home from a long days of work and sit down and watch your shows about Starfield always looking forward to seeing what's new on your Channel I also love to replay a lot of your episodes to catch new things I missed and to look at the beautiful scenes of Starfield thank you for all your hard work and keep up the good work man
Seeing your logo, has become like when I see DTD Gamer's Logo for FO76... I click and watch immediately. :) LOVE your info, approach and well-crafted video efforts.
Another excellent video from my fav Starfield channel! Thank you for putting in the research and time to make this. I know I am going to be spending a lot of time on this channel especially after the game comes out!
The fact that traits can change things in play makes for excellent replay value, I'd say. Can't wait to see what the different factions will offer and how it is all handled. Hopefully we will get that showcase soon.
Remember guys, Starfield Showcase needs to happen first before Starfield have it release date. So stop worrying about when will Starfield be release, instead get worry about when the showcase will happen hahaha. We have 3 more months before we enter the last month of "First half of 2023". If no showcase within the 3 months period, then either aspect a shadow drop or delay.
@@canadianbeef1958 I know, I have watch the Official Launch Date Announcement too. Can't miss anything related to my most anticipated game of this year haha.
secret number 2 made me wonder if there is going to be like a phone communication in the game of some type like where you can call people from your ship or something that would be badass
I appreciate that we can play through all the factions with one character. Sincerely, Guildmaster of the Thieves Guild, Harbinger of the Companions, Archmage, Leader of the Dark Brotherhood and the Dragonborn
With all these damn Starfield video’s dropping, we gonna know everything about what to expect from the showcase already, lol. Bethesda been real quiet on the DL about the release date though.
Thanks for pointing out that Starfield may not require you to be locked in with only one faction early in the quest line, but simply give you the ability to influence them in certain directions. If this is the case, the player may be able to get more faction perks that boost you in the game, rather than the more rigid faction system used in FO4.
I don't think this game is designed for multiple play-threws , it wont have an end so to speak . Moveing between factions means a single charecter can access all of the content .Todd said about people playing for a decade . Most space sims are games you play continualy without a designed finnish line . I might be wrong but my guess is that Starfield will follow this model
Here is some feedback about the video: I noticed that your voice got lost a bit in the background music. I went back to some of your other videos and that was not a problem with them. I felt that there is more base ,and a less crispy voice recording. It sounds different from the other videos. What did you do different this time ?
Thus far factions are looking good and interesting. However I would not be suprised if there will be hidden sub factions? Like the Dark brotherhood from Skyrim and as you mentioned the thieves guild. Both were not major factions but had some great rewards and missions. I would also not be suprised if there are at least one or two Alien factions. I mean it is space.. it is a game with 1000 planets, or maybe they will be in a dlc release. Very excited and thanks for the info again. Great content
So, what percentage of confidence do you give to the idea that the Activision deal and it's issues are holding off more information on Starfield? Secondly, what is your confidence level on Starfield being launched before July? Lastly, your best guess on Starfield Showcase?
@@starfieldsignal Imma bout to finish my 5th playthrough of Witcher 3 and was dreaming that i could just spin my wheels for a few weeks, or a month and then get into Starfield. I guess I'll have to dump money into Hogwarts... It is strange to me that there has not been more info drops on SF. Like Dev's talking through stuff. they are so far into development that they should have plenty to tease. Makes me think it won't be for 4 more months at least. I think they need a win before E3. Maybe Redfall will be enough?
@@starfieldsignal I just replayed it at the start of 2022 ( or al least around that time) with all the visual Mods. It was great. This weekend i finished the Witcher 3 and all the DLC, it was great but also a little sad. I think it may be 4-5 years before i go back to it. SO i bought Hogwarts and have put in a couple of hours. It is a pretty game and thought i am not a Harry Potter fan (i'm not anti either) it seems to be right up my diagon alley (pun intended...obviously). My kids and Wife really like the HP books and movies so it's been a crowd pleaser. anyway, we'll see how long i enjoy it. I do hope for some more SF news this week. Also, you should know what before i found your channel, I'd pretty much watch anyone's SF news, but i have apricated your content and your "non-click bait" approach so I've decided to just follow you for SF information moving forward. So...DON"T SCREW IT UP 🙂 JK, but seriously, thanks for the hard work you're putting in.
Thanks for another great vid. definitely tired of click-bait and " heres's why starfield will suck" videos. there's enough solid content to make for a great game and you showcase it well.
With bethesda staying super quiet about Starfield, do you think there are things going on behind the scenes? and if so do you think that bethesda regret joining microsoft?
Staying silent is a big red flag that this game is getting way over-hyped beyond its capabilities. We haven't seen anything groundbreaking, revolutionary, or cool yet because there isn't anything like that. This is more like a template for a space game that Todd expects the modding community to fill in and finish for him.
Great video, and thanks, though I do hope bethesda releases another gameplay video as I'm actually getting sick of seeing the same background game video, though you do a great editing job.
@@starfieldsignal as it stands more than likely going to do a similar idea in starfield. We already got a premise written and some models either in 2d concept and others in 3d rendering. Just waiting on the release to sink our teeth into the code and then waiting for creation kit 2.0 to drop so we can put it all together
*WARNING:* If you can join any of the factions and not lock yourself out. It means the factions stories will probably be pretty shallow. You really can't give depth to a faction if your choices in a side story don't really matter to the plot.
I'm actually very against the ability to join every faction. Oblivion letting you become master of everything was terrible. Great storytelling is having consequences for your decisions. Fallout 4 having the other factions become hostile at a certain point was a beautiful return to form.
I agree. And it's not like faction exclusivity is some kind of huge burden. Why not just make a save and then fork the playthrough so you can play each faction?
Your secret #6 has an issue. By allowing the player to jump through all of the factions in one run will never give you all of the options you would have by going through several play through's.
Please don't call this a list of "secrets", you're better than that. You don't need to make a click-bait'y title like that just to get views, especially when you actually say it yourself during the video that this is the channel to go to if you want to avoid click-bait. Just call it "9 facts" and it would be a great video with solid info, but "9 secrets" turns it from that and into something less 😢 I've really enjoyed all other videos you've made. Don't stray from the path man :)
Thanks so much. Yeah, I always play around with the titles and thumbnails. "Secrets" though a bit sensational, still applies I think because alot of people genuinely missed a lot of this or just didn't connect these things to cultivate the ideas I propose. So though it's a bit sensational I don't consider it click-bait. At the end of the day, I want to deliver on good and thoughtful content, and I'm willing to dip my toe into the emotional pull of the sensational titles and thumbnails to get more people watching. I'll still never outright lie, mislead, or do a nothing video for 8 minutes just to get clicks. I see a bunch of creators doing the "It's finally happening" videos based off of rumors, and that's a line I'm not going to cross. That's better suited for a community post, a short, or a livestream, just to generate discussion within the community, not to get clicks. Either way, I love it that you care about the channel and want it to stay "clean" haha. Hopefully my approach will remain tolerable and enjoyable. Thanks, Christian.
A good summary of what we know so far. Please stick to your no click bait policy. There is nothing more annoying than videos that totally fail to match their titles, some titles are just complete lies. If a youTuber keeps doing that I unsubscribe and block all future recomendations. I am really torn about being able to do every faction questline in a play through. I "roleplay" a character, level up a bit and make a save. I then do one faction questline with the intention of going back to the save game to roleplay something different. BUT it is so hard to give up all the extra levels and skills you earnt, so instead I just continue playing. This means the game world gets more and more immersion breaking as you are leading every faction and the NPC dialogues make no sense. But the more you play the harder it is to go back to that early save. The other problem is that designing faction questlines that can all be done in one playthrough means there are strict limits in your story telling. In Skyrim you did have to choose your side in the war if you wanted to follow that questline. I like decisions and consequences.
We need a showcase and a release date already...tired of hopes getting shot down with all these "leaks" the anticipation of this game is REAL!!!

9:19 looks like I’ll have to drop a few companions if it comes to that
I was really hoping for a faction in the game like the Helghast. Very morally grey with a strong gritty militaristic aesthetic.

Which factions closely resemble Star Wars?
I imagine they took some inspiration here and there. Don’t think anything is a straight copy though.
