"1000 planets" is gonna be the "16 times the detail" of Starfield just let me Romance the robot Todd

I love how Joe gradually goes from angry skeptic to giddy fanboy, but you can see he’s been hurt before. The “YOU LAIY?!” really hit me too.

When Joe shouted, "I don't have to pay 10 bucks for blue!" I lost it. I wasn't really feeling all that excited at first, but with the base building and custom ships, I actually started to feel a bit hyped about the game. Plus that pistol with the drum mag was sick.

"Star Citizen killer" You can't kill something that's already dead.

“What Todd?! I don’t have to pay 10$ for blue?!?” That had me dying

I honestly don’t know. I stopped getting myself hyped for games after Anthem and Cyberpunk 2077. But I hope to God that Starfield won’t be another disaster.

I lost it at the end completely when Joe started screaming at Todd asking if he was lying or if he was really doing this. 😂 And I love how he was like "You did Star Citizen before Star Citizen!" Hahahahaha!

I'd like to mention some things here. 1. Many of those 1000 planets you can explore are likely to be of the barren ice/dustball variety, good for resources (large open unpopulated areas are great for modders to add locations to by the way!) but don't expect tons of depth, they're uninhabitable for a reason. 2. I seriously doubt it'll be multiplayer officially, if we did it'd be a 2025 or something expansion of some kind. However the people making the Skyrim multiplayer mod "Skyrim Together" could be able to port or adapt their existing work to accelerate a Starfield Together mod of some kind, we'd have to wait and see obviously. But yeah, I'm extremely looking forward to this, despite being a Creation engine game, it looks like the engine overhaul they worked on before the game is definitely a stark improvement, its visually a lot better and the physics engine as well as the animation engine are completely replaced, both of which were the source of most Bethesda trademark bugs, so those two replacements may already have reduced the bugginess of Starfield alone to a good degree.

Remember ladies and gentlemen, “ there’s literally zero harm in waiting at least a few days before buying a game and doing your research to determine wether said game is worth buying”. ☝️

I'm a little worried about how this is going to work. I think I would prefer ten planets only, but all made with lots of content and amazing landscape. what's the point of a thousand planets that look much like the same?

Personally, I'm not imagining you being able to take off manually. I expect more of a transition between planet-side and space, where you punch in the coordinates to land on the planet, and the game lands your ship in predetermined flat landing spots. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, just tempering my expectations, and quite frankly if that's the case I don't really mind that much.

Damn I wasn’t that impressed until they said you could go to thousands of planets across hundreds of systems, then I just started laughing like angry joe was

What I'm worried about the most: 1. Bugs and performance issues - we know Bethesda at its worst already. There were frame rate drops all over this video. 2. Generic empty worlds, with boring quests, and uninteresting characters - especially with "exploring anywhere on a planet" this is what we'll most likely get.

This is an extremely ambitious game and Bethesda doesn’t have the best record for the past 10 or so years. I hope it comes out great but, I’m burned out on AAAs boasting all these features to not actually deliver.

I have a good feeling we’re gonna a get a long angry review once this game comes out

With all those planets even if many are empty in base game, imagine the mod potential to fill them planets!

Angry Joe is now complete You have the crazy charismatic Joe, and now coupled with 2 extremes: the high-energy, positive Other Joe, and the calm, collected, Realism of Alex. This is the show in its glory. Behold: These are the days

16 TIMES THE PLANETS. I'm pretty sure its going to be like 10 handcrafted and the rest procedurally generated with space settlements and space Preston Garvey

Game looks impressive. If they can deliver this as a quality game, and make a good impression from the start, this looks to be something they can easily support for several years with dlc. If they added co-op it would be even better.

LMAO the ending with the planets and joe freaking out is the funniest sh$% ever

I'm honestly just worried about how well the game will perform considering the 1000 PLANETS and their reputation after 76

I want this game to succeed, but there is no way in hell I am going to pre-order it or buy it on release. I am waiting for a large aggregate of reviews to give it a decent rating. Bethesda is on a tight leash after everything that went wrong with Fallout 76 (Edit: I don't have game pass).

Interesting detail: 15:20 there's that little montage of the ship taking off, and it cuts between different planets that it is taking off from. Given that it's basically just cutting the same exact animation from each of those planets, that seems to imply a certain limitation to me. Probably a preset 'take-off from here' location and then it plays the animation. When you want to land "anywhere" on the planets, maybe it just lands you on a procedural generated wasteland area where you can dink around a bit and then leave eventually from the same take-off point with the same animation. I hope I'm wrong about that, but come on Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 are giving you so many warnings about this, I very highly doubt they are being honest here.

Really like how minimal the GUI in game is. This looks great imo

I have a feeling that there will be a couple fleshed out planets, but other than that I think the 1000 planets are the dungeons for this game so if you need a certain resource or kill a certain enemy/bounty. I wish it wasn't like that but that's my theory Edit: for all you pansies in the comments bashing me. I never once stated this is how the game is going to be just said it's a theory of mine. I think some you need to go back to reading comprehension, to fully understand I never stated half the shit in the game I know Bethesda has a track record of messing up but a man can dream and be a little optimistic.

I think this is really ambitious especially for Bethesda and it looks good to me, but there's definitely some things that have that too good to be true vibe around them. I worry because there's "1,000 planets" it means there's gonna be a lot of boring ones with no purpose other than just existing. Exactly like No Man's Sky.

Just started the video, literally 0:04 in, and I had to pause. I love you guys. You are the only channel where I get my feelings expressed 100% spot on via your reactions. It's like seeing myself watching all these presentations, and heavily curated marketing exposes. I sooo often shake my head with genuine disbelief that people still in 2022 take all these promises at face value, and somehow preorders are still a thing. How the fuk does this concept still work, after soooo many money-grabs, trash premieres, shoddy QA work, and years of FAILED bug fixes, companies like Bethesda (with Todd at the helm) have the audacity to even look people straight in the eyes. Never change guys. I'm gonna watch the rest of the video now and sip on my morning latte with cinnamon.

"He's done it before" Indeed he has. Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies. And always remember kids... No preorders.

“Fallout 3 has over 200 endings” “16 times the details” “It just works” “You see that mountain there? You can climb it”

This game could have a lot of potential with very in-depth modifications, discoveries, and perhaps lore in its universe. But because it's from Bethesda, I would expect the game to be fully released one year after it's release date when the major bugs are gone and mods are plenty.

Idk if anyone noticed this but the first system is Alpha Centauri which just so happens to be one of the closest stars to us in the Milky Way. Todd is mentioning 100 systems in the game which means more than likely our solar system will be explorable in game. It’s almost confirmed around 15:04 when your character sees that rover. Looks very familiar to a rover left on mars. Maybe mats gameplay right there??! *actually yes you even see Sol on the systems map when he says the 100 systems part

The weapons feel so weak because the enemies not reacting at all to getting hit. Overall the gunplay preview was really underwhelming, exploration looks interesting tho !

I do think it looks good, However i do wish the weapons had more impact. Kind of feel like you are shooting air at the targets until their health hits 0.

Definitely looks and runs like a Bethesda game lol

Im honestly shocked that angryjoe mentioned freelancer. I always thought it was a little gem not known by to many! Damn what a game it was. The Scale was nuts.

".....But, there is one they fear, In their tongue he is Lokhkiin..... SKYBORN! " *insert epic intro theme here*

This looks like it's gonna be a fine game, 2 or 3 years after the initial release.

I don't get it why do developers focus so much on quantity. 1000 planets is alot one solar system should be enough if you put all your resources into a couple of planets that would be an experience to remember Quality over quantity is better for these types of games

I like the idea (if it works) of creating bases on barren, but habitable planets and populating them as my own, player-made towns. It'd be sick if you did something like that and could even get quest giving NPC's to move in.

I will get it when it comes out…after I let it “steep” so to speak on Steam for a few days or a week to read the reviews. But that looks promising, not sure if I trust Bethesda and Lord “16x the detail” Howard. But if they pull this off, I’m curious to see how big you can get your ship to be. It would be interesting if we could build a dreadnaught sized ship.

This was the perfect reaction. Started with heavy scepticism -> poking fun -> admitting some interesting features -> becoming intrigued -> yelling "WOW YOU DID IT!". Haha!

Building our own ships and bases is easily the coolest part of this. I love customization! Let me customize all the things!

Game looks absolutely amazing. However, people are going to need to understand what exactly will happen when the game is launched. The game will be plagued with technical issues, it will have an underwhelming story line, and it likely won't really become great until the modding community takes off. It is a Bethesda game after all and those aspects have been present in every single Bethesda game released to date. Also, newer/younger gamers will be filling online comment sections with "buggiest/most disappointing release since game x" comments.

Its good to see Bethesda getting back to what they are known for and good at. Epic, large, open world single player RPGs.

Extremely ambitious game. Definitely has a "Fallout" feel but in space and some vibes from "No Man's Sky" as well. I like what i'm seeing so far, as long as they can deliver on all those promises.

I don't trust Tod's sweet little lies looks underwhelming tbh

The reaction was great guys and the game looks fun but I’m going to wait for AJ/Crew review the game first before buying it.💪🏽

"I don't have to pay ten bucks for blue!? What a genius!" xDDDDDD

Joes reaction towards the end was priceless, made me laugh out loud. Keep up the great work AJS.

They follow the Skyrim and Fallout 4 formula. No focus on a cinematic story experience, just a vast sandbox with the tools to customize your experience. Perfect playground for modders. Since this is their core strength it might really work out. "1000 planets" sounds unrealistically large, but Skyrim had around 300 points of interest as well. I would expect that hundreds of planets only offer a dungeon and a lot of wasteland around it. I am officially curious.

Okay, I've been out of the loop with this game and just saw this vid. I was a bit skeptical, too... but by the end, definitely hyped! Land anywhere on over 1,000 planets?! Hire my own crew, build my own ships?! YES!!!

I hope I can shape the individual ship modules as well. I would love to create something from the old star wars universe.

New Bethesda video? There’s a 100% chance that Joe is going to say “16 times the detail” at least 16 thousand times… and I absolutely love it

1000 planets with the same mission Go here kill and comeback It’s just work

This game is not Star Citizen. Please stop comparing the two. One is a single player experience, the other is multiplayer that requires multiple servers working in tandem. And from what I've seen of the gameplay trailer, you won't be able to seamlessly transition from space to planet side. It looks like you ship is going to be a static entity that loads into a procedurally generated map. It is nowhere near the same level detail or immersion that Star Citizen is going for. Which isn't a bad thing, but they aren't one to one comparisons.

The opening has me dying! Thanks Joe!

Let’s be honest: modders are what is going to make this game great.

I'm very excited for Starfield's modding potential specially with 1000 fully explorable planets and a very nice ship customization. It's gonna be a Wonderland for modders but the performance of the game worries me. It was definitely dropping a lot with not much happening so... It's also very ambitious and sounds too good to be true but I hope Bethesda can deliver and move forward and maybe one day gain our trust again but we shall see!

This is the kind of game I've been waiting for my whole life, I'm hoping because of the push back on the release date they really polish all ends of this game before putting it out into the market.

Nice! Another game to warm me up after Elite Dangerous (from 2014 to 2020), this will keep me from 2023 to 2030 until Star Citizen launches.

I really liked how Joe was like meh at the start and getting hyped at the end, very authentic. That was similar to my own reaction. At the start I was like bruh, this is just FO4 in space, at the end i'm like oh yea I see what you're trying to do there... excited.

Forever skeptical with these types of games. So many let downs over the years.

Yeah I lost my shit at the end too. I thought it was just going to be Fallout 4 in space, but it turned out to be that and so much more. Super hyped.

People are worried abt there being nothing on ALLLL these planets, but isn’t that what a lot of space is? Look at our other planets; what’s there, nothing. But it would still be cool to have the “option” to go there and build u something. I appreciate Bethesda’s attempt at realism.

I’ll wait a few weeks for reviews before paying a dime😂

Even if it’s true that there’s a thousand planets the gameplay depth is gonna be as deep as a puddle.

I'm excited but skeptical about many things, sure modders can have free rain with the 100s of planets that will probably be empty, but that takes time. Performance and gunplay are also a cause of concern. Hopefully, the delay will address most of the possible issues. Although it's up in the air tbh

as soon as he said you can explore entire planets across hundreds of systems, i immediately thought to myself "a million miles wide, half a millimeter deep" i have little faith in games that brag about being big. i learned my lesson from being a Assassin's Creed fan as a dumb teenager

I really hope this game can deliver even a percentage of what they are promising. But I have a bad feeling this is another cyberpunk situation where the game is extremely ambitious, and a lot of features have to be removed to make it playable. I hope I'm wrong. The fact that they only have to worry about Xbox and PC is probably a good thing. Either way, it looks pretty damn awesome imo.

There is some pretty cool and unique stuff they showed off, but there's way too many red flags present for me to get even a little excited. Like, the combat seemed real clunky, for all the ship customization being shown we only actually saw one version of the ship being used, there's no shot they filled 1000 planets with enough unique and/or curated content, and all of that is on top of the general Creation Engine issues that I'm sure will be present.

“Over 1000 planets” the new “16x the detail”.

Pirate's standing right beside the other you just slaughtered "hmm,must have been the wind"

Not a chance in hell this is the game we get.

My criticism is the xp bar seems like it’s going to get annoying after a bit. The 1,000 planets thing, I imagine 960 at least are just going to be resource dumps. (Which is fine, Just seeing people confused thinking it’s going to be all densely populated or questioning how they will do it) Combat looks a little lacking in weight, but hopefully they can adjust that.

That first NPC is so effing cross-eyed I can't believe they let that pass for the trailer. Not a good sign. Edit: Oh boy...a lot of the eyes are cross-eyed. Especially when they show character customization. Zoinks.

1000 planets just makes me think we're going to get the planet version of the kill 10 bandits quest in Skyrim.

i love how Alex is so gentle to cat! lovely

Anyone else notice the grenade throw animation and the laser rifle animations and sounds are straight from Fallout 4 lmao

Also, the teams at loverslabs are going to have a heyday with the new bodyside and outfit studio, and it looks to me that it has physics built into the skeletons already

I hope it's not just pirates that are the only enemies to fight that have guns

Does Joe not realize it doesn't cost 20,000 to buy ships in Star Citizen? Like I get the principle of the statement, but it's just regurgitating misinformation. I am excited for this, but I'm curious to know how in depth this game truly gets, and how arcade-like/game-like this will be. But yeah it takes some decent in game time to buy ships in game with in game money. Not 20,000 lol

My eyes were glossing over during the reveal. When they announced the number of planets I could just see the same 3 procedurally generated events and VO.

I really hope "you can go anywhere" doesn't end up being like 3 or 4 pre-determined destinations with nothing in between

I would be ok with just that solar system. Having that many planets makes me think that all the planets are procedurally generated and im worried about the care put into different enemy types

Todd is like a master salesman, at this point. I swear, this man could sell an empty bag of Doritos to just about anyone.

This honestly looks pretty awesome. The problem is, there have been a lot of promo videos that look awesome and then completely fall on their face. Let's just hope Bethesda doesn't s**t the bed on this one...

also, never believe a man who wears shoes too big for his feet to make his "feet" seem longer

Does this channel only broadcast in 1080p? Or is my computer buggin?

This game will have a handful of detailed human-filled planets for the main story and quests. The rest will be baren, hostile worlds for the traditional Bethesda exploration. I am very excited for this game, especially for the ship customization which is the one other feature that I always wanted in No Man's Sky. If we get the space exploration of that game with the RPG and story of a Bethesda RPG, I am going to be very happy :)

16 times the detail

The story is that you collect artifacts that ultimately gives you access to an old database of 1970’s playboy’s magasine.

Explore thousands of planets! With mountains and trees! And some have only mountains but no trees. And some have trees but no mountains. And some planets have neither trees nor mountains. But mostly there are mountains and trees! Infinite variety!

Gives me a lot of No Man Sky vibes with the factions, base and ship building, and fully explorable planets, which is a good thing. Let’s hope it doesn’t turn out as a disaster like NMS did when it first came out

Bethesda needs a new game engine dude. Theirs is still stuck in late PS3, MAYBE early PS4 graphic limitations. Also, I'm calling it now. Starfield is going to be a MAJOR letdown.

Can't wait for the review, JOE has to review this game.

Looking for artifacts in space. Time to be commander Shepard again

I think you *can* visit 1000 planets and land anywhere but most of those would be barren wastelands like in reality, and most of these you would just use for mining and gaining resources but my hope is that at least 10% of them would have interesting locations and 'structures' like we can see when they show the interface for orbiting planets. Bethesda always used procedural generated landscapes in their games but it was the handcrafted dungeons, locations and stories within them which added the unique flavour that we love from BGS titles which is plausible for them to do here as well. So I am cautiously optimistic, the ship combat looks great, you can have your own crew of at least 10 NPCs and can even board enemy ships, there are at least 3 main factions and you can join the 'evil' faction and we still don't know the main mystery or antagonist of the game which I like. The settlement system seems much improved from Fallout 4 with the isometric view as well as being able to again hire NPCs to keep them running and passively generating resources for you without having to babysit them constantly. There is so much potential here, but we have all been so burned by games promising lots and not delivering with Cyberpunk, Fallout 76, No Mans Sky (at launch) so we should all be cautiously optimistic if we are optimistic and DO NOT PREORDER. It is also coming day 1 gamepass so there's that and I hope the delay irons out many of the bugs, I don't mind if there are some bugs but the framerate was shocking and some of the effects were lacking though the space combat looks beautiful. But yea cautious optimism, if they can pull this off then I will be so hyped. It's like if No Mans Sky, Fallout, Mass Effect and Space Rangers had a baby.

Khajiit: How did you max out your pickpocket? Todd: I charged $18 *FOR FUCKING BLUE!*

It’s weird ,there in space but constellation is the last group of explorers ,that doesn’t make sense to me ,you’d think everyone would be wanting to explore

I swear the reload and arm turning animations looked really similar. I’m not tripping right?
