Även om vi många gånger hört floskeln att lanseringen av ett spel bara är början, så ligger det faktiskt något i det när det gäller Bethesda Game Studios. Deras massiva titlar har en vana att inte bara vara omåttligt populära vid premiären, utan ha långa "svansar", vilket innebär att de förblir populära i många, många år efter lanseringen.
Detta väntas också bli fallet med Starfield, eftersom studion faktiskt utformat äventyret för att spelas under lång tid och även under en lång tidsperiod. Skaparen Todd Howard berättar om idéerna bakom skapandet av Starfield i Game Maker's Notebook Podcast, vilken leds av Ted Price från Insomniac:
"One of the things we've learned from our previous games, from Skyrim, from Fallout, is that people want to play them for a very long time. So Starfield, I would say, was the most intentional, going into it, that this is a game people are going to play for a long time. How do we build it such, that it is allowing that in a way that feels natural - and if people have played the game and finished the main quest, you can see that.
But it's also one where, okay, what does Starfield look like in three months? What does it look like in six months, a year, two years, three years, four years, five years? We've learned that's going to happen, so let's be ready for it, make the most of it, and embrace it. That's both what we do here and with our modding community. We've learned so much there. Giving ourselves a good base of a game to build upon for everybody."
Tror du Starfield kommer förbli lika populärt som studions andra rollspel?
