It looks incredible but, damn, they’ve really put every single game genre in there. Non-zero chance it’s all very shallow but the customisation options look dope. Chances are modders will do some stuff that’s so cool I’ll really want to play this thing.

Also looks like it’ll destroy my 1060 and I probably don’t use my PC enough to justify an upgrade. So we’ll see.

Looks great so far. I wonder if they’ve nailed the feel of space flight/combat. It’s such a tricky balance between sim and arcade and so many games get close but miss the mark.

I love the 3X resource balancing ala Star Wars Squadrons but I’m still waiting for anything that feels as good and accessible as Freelancer felt to me like 15 years ago.

Cautious optimism is definitely the way to go with this one. The showcase here definitely looks good, but how many promises can they actually deliver on? I’m hoping most of the planets have some sort of content that doesn’t include the classic Bethesda radiant fetch quests. The cities look promising, animal/wildlife designs look good, and the space battles remind me of Star Wars Battle front 2 (in a good way!)

The special preorder editions are slightly concerning, I’m hoping most people haven’t forgotten the Fallout ‘canvas bag’ debacle and learned their lesson. Stop preordering games! It doesn’t matter what the extra bonuses are if the game behind them is no good. Especially the 5 day early access that plays on your FOMO. Everyone’s waited this long, you can wait a few extra days. I’m waiting until reviews are in and we see some release gameplay. Don’t forget that Bethesda are also known for extremely buggy day 1 releases.

If it does actually turn out really good, this might be the final excuse I need to upgrade my 6 year old PC and give my GTX970 a nice retirement.

I’m extremely excited for this game. I was legitimately blown away by the deep dive today!
