Will starfield be on pc1/10/2024 ![]() ![]() So my advice is gonna echo others when I say wait it out a bit and see what the market is like next year.In different interviews, creative director Todd Howard described the game's art style as "NASA punk." The game is set 300 years into the future, and will sport familiar technology with near-future leanings. Now, granted, I got lucky and I'm aware of the GPU shortage. Starfield, and TES VI will obviously be PC games for me and the modding community is just incredible. I'll still play sony exclusives on PS5, but the future of my gaming will be pretty much always on PC. Now? I pretty much only game on PC and its easily the best choice i could have made. ![]() Once Bethesda was bought by Microsoft last year, I realized what that meant and as luck would have it, my brother was going to get the RTX 3080, so he ended up giving me his RTX 2080ti. Played it once in a while, but still played on console a lot. Back in early 2019, my brother actually built me a gaming PC with a GTX 970 GPU. and then I got the PS4 for the next and then the PS5 for the current. Then PS2, Xbox, and Gamecub, and then I had just the 360 for that generation. Growing up I had the PS1, N64, and Dreamcast. I honestly got into PC gaming sort of by accident. That's the real time when PC becomes an economical choice, when the low/mid level stuff is much more powerful at the same price. Yes, you can go all out, but, in 2-3 years, that machine will be equivalent to mid-tier. You can't build an equivalent machine for anywhere near the price. This generation is the closest to off-the-shelf PC hardware ever. If you're not going Gamepass (you really should check it out, the value is incredible) also consider that the modding scene on PC is likely to be more robust than on console.īottom line: the new consoles are a screaming deal from a hardware standpoint. If you want to do anything else with the machine, it's PC all the way. You want the easy route, and really only do the gaming thing, a Series X will likely fit the bill. These purchases are partially justified by the fact that they do help with my work. I'm not a sane person, so I got top-of-the-line parts at absurd prices (retail, not scalped). If I were a sane person, I'd wait on the market to settle down in the coming year, then try to do a build. ![]() Between chip shortages, miners, scalpers, and generally low availability, the prices are terrible on many components. Unfortunately, right now the market is terrible. Ha! I remember being so stoked when my dad upgraded to 8MB of ram on our 386 system!īuilding a rig is a fun hobby in and of itself. They're available pretty frequently rn in my area at least. If gpu prices are managable again ( doubtful), I'd go with a pc for the full bgs experience. I'd wait for E3 22, watch the full blown Todd presentation we're hopefully going to get there and decide based on that and the market situation on your plattform. Personally I'm going to play on my pc and hopefully get a new gpu until nov. Graphically the pc is gonna have the upper hand (provided good enough gpu) especially with mods but with how this gen is going I'd say the series x version isn't going to look or run like crap. Provided the creation engine 2 doesnt do a full 180 on that ofc.īoth versions are playable with an xbox controller on a tv. Theres the important point of mod support, which the pc obviously has but the series x presumably is going to have in a limited way too. Xboxes and GPUs are both hard to get and the latter stupidly overpriced. Sit it out for now, not much of a choice. I have time to think about this but was looking to see what some of you are planing on doing. I'm thinking I would really like to take advantage of the graphical upgrades vs playing on console for this game, technology is there where I can sit in my recliner, plug the PC into the TV and have a good gaming experience. Just hope our illustrious leader, Todd isn't just hyping the game for the stockholder's benefit. Since Starfield is going to be exclusive to Game Pass, which I don't currently have, and plan on purchasing Starfield, provided it lives up to the hype and game play (I don't prepay games), leaves me to think about, do I build a new rig or just purchase the new Xbox? I can't help the fact that I am excited for something new and after watching the recent teaser, it definitely has caught my eye. The last decade or so I've been a PS4 player because I'm lazy and don't feel like messing around with drivers and such (I don't get into the argument of which system is better PS4/Xbox, because they're both decent systems) I'm an old gamer that goes back to the days of building PC's so I could play the original Doom developed by id, having 16 MB of RAM put you on the top.haha.
