Starfield

Martin · 3 years

So I'm a little on the fence about Starfield, but this trailer gives me hope.

I don't know a lot about Starfield (does anyone, really?). I guess it's going to be an RPG in space. I expect it'll feel a little like Fallout, but I don't have any good reason to think that, other than that Bethesda is making it.

This trailer though... it's short and it doesn't show gameplay. But it's in-engine footage, and the score sounds hopeful/aspirational. I sorta like it.

And now I'm sitting here waiting to see how Starfield will turn out.

The Outer Worlds 2

There wasn't much to show for The Outer Worlds 2 at 2021's E3, but that didn't stop Microsoft/Bethesda from dropping a bombastic trailer for it. I watched this directly after Redfall's trailer, so it almost felt like a dig at the rest of the show - but that's very much in line with the humor of The Outer Worlds franchise.

Is it a franchise yet? I guess it might be, after a successful second game, anyway. Obsidian created such a fun world to explore with the first game, I can't wait to see what's next.

Redfall

It seems like the world is awash with multiplayer looter-shooters these days, so I was surprised that Redfall grabbed me the way it did. I like that the setting/enemies are a bit different from the norm, and that the game doesn't seem to take itself too seriously, which is nice for a multiplayer experience.

Granted, we haven't seen any actual gameplay yet, but if things are anything like this slick trailer, I'm in.

I'm still slowly churning through all the E3 2021 announcements I'm excited about here, bear with me please!
