I'm sorry but what?No more complex than Skyrim? In combat? The jetpacks and procedural generation alone make it obviously so. Starfield probably isn't "the most complex game ever made", much like 999,999 out of a million aren't the millionth but its obviously a lot more complex than Skyrim. If you're saying stuff like this I have no choice but to also disregard everything else said since the disingenuousness has already been laid bare.
Again, the procedural generation is complexity in terms of breadth of content, but that isn't necessarily too difficult to do complexity-wise, especially since it's procedural in this case.
We've been using amount/scale of content as the measurer for game complexity growth for like two decades, when in truth there are other equally (if not more so at this point) important means to measure complexity, that get completely ignored.
It might not be but it's either star citizen or flight simulator.
I would not immediately jump to those games, either. TBF, on some level it is a subjective measurement, this idea of stating complexity based on depth and interaction of concurrently running systems producing immediate visible and tangible effects on the player and their screen-space at that very moment.
However in terms of games which would be in the running for such a claim, yeah I can Star Citizen & Flight Sim among them. A few other games, too. But I'm basically asking what's so complex about Starfield in that regard where it's beyond these other games, and to where it can't provide options beyond 30 FPS (or even native 4K) on Series X.
The moment they confirmed that planetary flight and landing or take off were animations i knew this was Just a fallout or skyrim with a space backdrop, and thats fine, i love these games but the amount of hipérbole and stupid hot takes from People that hype this game because its the great White hope of xbox its baffling, and to think they laugh at no mans Sky, game that its actually more a space simulation and exploration with thousand of little details who leave starfield to shame,fuck last time i Checked they dont have land vehicles on star field, correct me if im wrong
No I don't think there are land vehicles in the game, but it could also be there and they just haven't shown them off yet.
As for the hype; on one level I definitely understand it. I mean, I want to play this game as well, and it's been a long time since I could have said such for an Xbox 1P title. What I don't understand are the people (including media) using it as a means to belittle other games, and platforms like PlayStation.
Microsoft potentially having one great game under their belt isn't them suddenly "overtaking" PlayStation. Microsoft would need multiple Starfield-level games over a period of 3-5 years to do that in
addition to Sony dropping the ball on all of their big 1P AAA games for that same period of time, to even entertain that type of statement.
