Defining Duke Ultimate, Episode 72: An In-Depth & Critical Look At Starfield
Added 2022-06-15 16:01:04 +0000 UTCStarfield is without a doubt Xbox's biggest game of the generation as of this moment in time. It is a game they absolutely must nail to make a statement to current and future consumers that their platform is also a home to excellent exclusives. Beyond that, it is a tell-all of the impact Xbox can have on exclusives they invest in on a large level for better or worse when release day arrives. For now, we have seen a sizeable chunk of Starfield gameplay, and I (Matty) have assembled a supercast to discuss every ounce of content we watched. For those who are OG listeners of H.A.M. Radio Podcast, you'll recognize my former co-host from that show's inception up until 2018 has joined. Introducing LoneVaultWanderer aka Jonny Roses - a good friend, former Bethesda employee, and now content creator. Alongside is a more familiar face, Chris Ray Gun, to talk all things Starfield. From the good to the bad, this is our teardown of Bethesda Game Studios' most ambitious title to date.

The gunplay didn’t matter in the fallout games because you had VATS. If there is no system like vats in this game, and the combat is as bad as it looks, it won’t be fun.

2022-06-21 03:47:51 +0000 UTCGreat episode and god to hear some honest takes on why we should be excited but also skeptical. My main issue with the gunplay was feedback, needed at the very least hitmarkers, more enemy reaction and bloodspray is something they will hopefully add and fine tune in the months up to launch.

2022-06-16 09:32:33 +0000 UTCThe moment Chris told Matty that Kotor plays horrible 🤣🤣 I am surprised he is still alive

2022-06-16 03:15:49 +0000 UTCGood show, Im not a huge “lets analyze every detail of a trailer” guy, but this was just impressions, expectations and not to crazy speculation. Good episode, keep it up guys!

2022-06-16 03:13:03 +0000 UTCI’m sad Cog wasn’t on this, but having Lone and Chris was a great surprise! 😀 As for Starfield, I can’t wait for it to come out. It looked good.

2022-06-15 22:43:05 +0000 UTCI got 2 big questions 1. How big can you make your ship? Can you have frigate sized ships? Tiny fighters ? 2. For exploring planets is there ground vehicles? Do you bring them to the planets or do you have to build one on each planet?

2022-06-15 21:21:22 +0000 UTCWas not impressed at all. Looked like a game that would have been good 5 years ago.

2022-06-15 21:18:15 +0000 UTCAs someone who loves shooters, I just honestly don't understand the hang up on the way the shooting looked in the game. Again it doesn't look like call of duty or anything like that but I thought it looked far better than any other shooting they've had. P.S. is it possible that The lack of blood was tied to the fact that it was actually a gun... And just given the political climate the past month? There were more adult games in The showcase for sure but I don't remember any shooters where humans we're getting shot.

2022-06-15 20:20:28 +0000 UTCIf Starfield comes out on my birthday, I'll fucking explode! AND Resident Evil 4 would be the next day!! FUUUUCK!

2022-06-15 19:21:32 +0000 UTCDo you guys say unreal engine 5 is the same thing as unreal engine 3 too?

2022-06-15 18:33:11 +0000 UTCI am so surprised how positive the podcast was on Starfield. Me and my crew were so disappointed in how janky, stutter filled, jittery animals, combat sluggishness. They’re on the same engine from 15 years ago. This did not blow me away but glad the pod felt so positive.
