It looks exactly like Skyrim but the player character is an ant.

:todd: says: “See that little patch of grass in the distance? You can climb it.” The audience goes nuts. The sound of gamers simultaneously creaming their pants is powerful enough to make your ears bleed. It earns more than your country’s GDP in pre-orders alone.

In other news Zenimakkkx killed another one of your favorite studios.

Something I think is funny about space games. If a game takes place on multiple planets, then you can tell how diverse the environments will be by how many planets are advertised:

  • 2-3 planets, not much variety, probably a budget game.
  • 4-8 planets, each planet will have a couple of environments, totaling a decent variety throughout the game.
  • 9-12 planets, each planet will be exactly 1 environment centered on the spot where your ship lands, totaling a decent variety throughout the game.
  • 13+ planets, there will only be one environment in the entire game but its color palette will change.

It was impressive how artistically hollow Starfield looked. “NASApunk” is a hell of a tell.

Punk is when you get your aesthetics from literally the most dominant cultural vision of space travel! :so-true:

The one thing that really stood out to me is that whenever they showed combat the enemies were called “Spacer” or some derivative of that name. Skyrim Bandits are back baby

A lot of the spaceship interiors came across to me as “The charm of Alien but blander”

Another hot take: Modern Bethesda is incapable of making good video games.

(I also would prefer it to be good tho)

The Skies of Skyrim, and it is just a repackaged mod where you play Skyrim as a bird.

One of the planets is Tamriel and you get bonked on the head in a surprise attack and wake up in a space cart…
