Starfield remake created in two days actually lets you fly seamlessly from space to the surface

"remake" is generous of the titling editor. That's a tech demo or a mechanic demo. Still good, though. The seamless transitions are nice.

I love that the thumbnail for every article about Starfield is an uncomfortable close-up of a character's dialogue face.

Wow they remade a game as big as starfield in only 48 hours? Just recording all the dialogue during that time would have been intense

Guys, this is literally just a tech demo made in Unreal, it's not news.

I'm not a fan of starfield but this is just misleading. It's a tech demo in a vastly different engine devoid of content.

So basically what No Man's Sky has had for years?

It is essentially just a tech demo BUT, I would say they’ve touched on what I wanted from the space travel.

You can take off, fly the ship, point it up, and then boost off into space. That’s fun, that’s what I wanted, and I don’t think it’s really expecting that much.

“It’S NoT ReAlIsTiC”, none of it’s realistic, it’s a video game ffs.

It’s a fun and engaging mechanic that I’d expect in a great space game.

Bethesda’s seeming disdain for anything that could be considered a fun and seamless mechanic is frustrating. And fanboys seemingly have no expectation that Bethesda games should actually get better and improve on their weak areas.

Bethesda can't even get ladders working in their engine, and y'all were expecting seamless atmospheric re-entry?

This is great. Amidst all the comparisons and issues with Starfield, I am learning about so many other good space exploration games in these discussions haha

I would be impressed if they did it in Gamebryo/Creation Engine and solve the "everything is a cell" problem. I mean, No man's Sky and Elite Dangerous exist and have shown seem less space travel. One guy with DarkBasic did it in the Evochron games for decades.

This comes off as a hey look look at me I can do it in a cave with a box of scraps but BUGTHESDA can't in 7 years?!

I'm no gaming expert or Bethesda fanboy, but didn't someone the other day confirm that there is actual space travel in the game, it just takes days to get to another planet?

Created in 48 hours by reusing assets from the RealDoll website? Look at that thing.

Aw. I was hoping to see him seamlessly fly to the Volii system, seamlessly fly to Volii Alpha, seamlessly land on the Neon landing pad, seamlessly enter the Bayu Plaza and, seamlessly interact with dozens of NPCs, many of whom have branching dialogue trees, and seamlessly loot the ever-loving crap out of hundreds of interactable objects.

If people want that, why don't they play Elite Dangerous?

I know, late for the party. Know what else has "seamless" flying from space to surface?

This tiny FOSS game here nobody heard of before: Pioneer Space Sim

Yes it is nowhere state of the art in looks but considering it's very slow development from what's mostly a one dev show I find that a lot more impressive.

Also yay for orbital mechanics.
