Starfield has even more of a Red Dead Redemption 2 ambiance than No Man’s Sky or Mass Effect, according to Bethesda’s Todd Howard.
Talking to IGN, Howard was asked if games like Elder Scrolls, Fallout, No Man’s Sky, and also Mass Effect worked as any type of kind of motivation for Starfield, and also Howard rather indicated Rockstar’s open-world Western piece.
“Well, clearly, those other games that are science fiction, I think you might look at and say, ‘Okay, this is science fiction. It’s like that.’ I think the minute to minute, obviously on the ground, it has similarities to Elder Scrolls and Fallout and the things that we’ve made and how it feels in your hands or some certain mechanics.
“But think it or otherwise, it’s the games that place you in a globe, that deliver you to a location. So I believe it likewise as a circulation, most likely has even more of a sensation of a [Red Dead Redemption 2], right? Like I’m living the Western dream. So in this, you’re living this sci-fi traveler dream, and also in some cases that’s getting on a barren world and also absolutely nothing is taking place.”
This is the second time this week Red Dead Redemption 2 has been invoked in the context of an big upcoming game, with Star Wars Outlaws’ creative director saying the comparisons going around online are “great.”
It also makes sense from a marketing perspective to compare your game to one of the most acclaimed IPs of all time, but we’ll have to wait until Starfield’s September 6 release date to see if its massive universe stands up to Rockstar’s sandbox.
