The hype surrounding Starfield is real. Xbox fans have been waiting for something to be excited for and Starfield is it. But is the hype surrounding the game too much to live up to?
The upcoming year is sure to be a big one for the gaming industry. Companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google are in prime position to enter the market, and Nintendo is transitioning to a new console, which could make them vulnerable. Sony is making some odd moves that make them appear distant and unresponsive.
Microsoft, on the other hand, made a big splash with their recent Xbox Games Showcase, but the foundation of their success may be their weakest link, Starfield. Despite the good looking trailers, none of the games were playable, which can be a bit concerning.
Bethesda, the developers of Starfield, are not known for their bug-free games or their strong action, dialogue, or facial animation. Things may have gotten better with the help of id Software, but the space combat looks off and the dialogue and facial animation still lag behind other Western role-playing developers.
It's possible that Starfield could surprise us, but the hype around the game may be too much for it to live up to. Xbox fans have a lot of pent-up frustration and Microsoft isn't helping matters by promising the world. If the games don't deliver, then it could be a major setback for Xbox. They have already run Halo and Gears of War into the ground, so who would trust them with something else?
The whole showcase was a risk and if they fail to deliver, Xbox may not get a second chance. But if they succeed, they could be the heroes of the gaming industry. We'll have to wait and see.
