Bethesda debuts 15 minutes of Starfield gameplay
One of Bethesda's most anticipated titles just got a major gameplay reveal. 15 minutes of gameplay was shown off at the Xbox Games Showcase, with Todd Howard explaining that this is footage from early on in the game. It starts with you getting out of your spaceship and exploring a new planet called Kreet. There's fights against space pirates, and a few weapon types shown. As is Bethesda tradition, there's a lockpicking minigame. There's a character creator, where you can customize your character's looks and story background. There's base building, like Fallout 4. You can also build your own spaceships using specific parts, with your own crew you can pick.
Flying the ship is also a part of the game. You'll use it to fly through space, avoid asteroids, and shoot down foes. Todd gives a look at how you can land anywhere on a planet, and each planet has its own specifications like temperature, gravity, types of flora and fauna, and other details. It starts with one solar system, but there are hundreds of solar systems, and over 1,000 planets to explore.
