A Starfield Starfield release date.
Exploring the initial Starfield gameplay trailer, there are already hints at various Starfield skills, Gastronomy, which enables players to craft specialised food and drink. Similar to the hardcore mode in Fallout: New Vegas, this might imply that players will need to monitor various bodily needs and put more thought into keeping alive beyond just shooting and looting.
As well as discussing the space game at a later stage.
"It [Starfield] has a tone where there's some effort involved," Howard says. "You used to jump out into space, run out of fuel, and get stranded. On paper, it's a great moment when you get stranded, and you have to press this beacon and you don't know who's going to come. Turns out, that just stops your game. You run out of fuel, and you're like 'I ran out of fuel. I guess I'll just wander these planets trying to mine for fuel so I can get back to what I was doing.' It's a fun killer.
"But games do do that. If you had a hardcore survival mode, that's the kind of thing you would do. Maybe we'll do it in the future."
open-world game, but official from Bethesda would be fantastic, with additional features added post-launch bringing to Starfield the same longevity that's kept Skyrim popular for over a decade.
Mining for fuel, hunting for oxygen canisters, trying to eat the final remnants of an alien fungus hanging from the walls of a cave – that's the kind of fun I want when Starfield finally arrives.
