Starfield is an action game that was developed and published by Bethesda Game Studios and Bethesda Softworks respectively. The game was released for Windows and Xbox series. However, Starfield smoothly passed all the questions from the critics, moreover, garnered praise for its open-ended visual, background sound, technical performance, etc. Furthermore, the wide-ranged space epic allows the players to steer the stars in search of savage adventure and some mind-blowing actions.
Todd Howard disclosed his thoughts on Xbox and its performances during an interview, saying, ‘[W]e have put so much into this game, and it is, as you said, our first new IP in over 25 years,’ continues, ‘It’s our first major release in about eight years. So for us, we have just put so much into it that we’re just doing everything we can to make the best game that we can. Hope that everybody loves it.’
In another interview, Ashley Cheng, managing director of Bethesda and Howard discussed the new enormous universe and non-entertaining planets. Cheng expresses, ‘The point of vastness of space is you should feel small. It should feel overwhelming,’ Cheng further says, ‘Everyone’s concerned that empty planets are going to be boring. But when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there. They certainly weren’t bored,’
American video game designer who is acknowledged for his technique of gameplay, shares his thoughts about the latest release, ‘ended up being much larger than anything we’ve done. At times we thought, ‘are we in over our heads?’ He admits candidly, ‘At times I suffer from choice anxiety,’
Howard also mentions that he is not worried and adds, ‘In my career I’ve found two things about people who play games. Often they do play one title for a really long time rather than moving on to something new. But even if they only play for 10 or 20 hours, finish the main story, save the world then move on, they’ll have at least seen all the other choices that could have been taken. It means those 20 hours will be different for every player because they were exposed to so much choice – which impacted their appreciation of the story and experience.’
Michael Higham who writes in Games Spot, arguably mentions, ‘Bethesda’s spacefaring adventure has its moments with impressive scale and satisfying combat… but its uninspired vision of the cosmos make for a journey that’s a mile wide, but an inch deep.’
Bethesda, the gaming studio that was set up in Maryland, America is famous for creating video games where players invest a lot of time, Howard explains ‘that people are going to play for a long time.’
Many popular publications whose reviews and opinions are highly rated and read by people worldwide are not fully assured of the titles themselves. Nonetheless, the release is a prime factor for Microsoft and the Xbox users. The owners are hoping to gather a large number of players to the machine and make a huge profit.
