Seamless Landing without loading screens are finally here.The modders are finally fixing it.
where is the landing?
>>749615432There's nothing in it that needs fixing. It's just a game for white Christian men.
>>749615432>seamless>still have to go into a menu instead of manually steering the ship to where you want????
Elite Dangerous has had planetary landings for yeeeeeeeeeeears now.
>>749615517im not a master at making the webm
>>749615432I never wanted that to begin with, I already found it a pain in elite dangeeous
I think the game is just fundamentally not built to support the kind of satisfying space travel you get in space sims. Obviously it's a whole rpg sandbox and great in that respect but I wish map hopping wasn't by far the only reasonable way to travel.
>>749615652>>749615541
>>749615432>Still seething that they made a new IP instead of expanding fallout into space like it's clearly supposed to be...
>>749615716thats the lone wanderers epilogue because Fo3 protagonist is the biggest chad with the largest cahones in the entire Fallout Series. Nobody is else as chad though, and that's why he's the one with an Alien mothership and the rest had some tribal babies or some shit
>improving a dogshit vidya for free
>>749615716>Exactly the same fucking person would be bitching about "Fallout with space guns" in the alternate universe. Shut upnah you're cool
>>749615698that's neat to see a couple times but functionally it's just replacing a two second load with a two minute cutscene. It does nothing give the game a sense if space travel when just about anywhere you need to get to is within jump range and you can teleport from ruins on the darkside of a forgotten moon directly to the food court at the capital planet's mall
>>749615514that would probably be crimson desert. Saarfield is one of the worst games ever made
>>749615716That's a cool idea but would be gay in execution
You can put whatever weapon mods, armor mods, whatever the fuck, retune the combat, make things "cooler", but you can't fundamentally unfuck the foundation of a boring ass game that can't decide if it wants to be a sandbox looter shooter or a quest hunting title with possibly the blandest sci-fi universe.
>>749615541wow good work spending one minute landing compared to waiting a couple of seconds through menus.
>>749615432what is this webm even showing? because it's not showing seamless landing
>>749616228ya I always said its cause open world, large scale space games are fucking boring.It works for Eve cause its an MMO, it works for smaller games like mass effect cause theyre narrative driven and can handhold you through interactive story zones with hot alien babes and problems to solve but trying to make some massive sprawling proc gen open world space game littered with hand crafted PoIs that repeat is going to feel hollow.We aint know shit abt space how it is for real you aint god Todd nobody is solving making that funits why star citizen is a 1 billion dollar fraud case
>>749616083They just have to commit to it and thats it really. They already have weird races n shiet. Could've pulled off exactly the same "western" bulshit they wanted but with more grit. Do some Warhammer bullshit with distant colonies and we'd be all happy..Granted, asking to make a good game, forget about the creative one is already too much these day...
>>749616228>urm akshually the menus were betterYOU ARE A FUCKING NIGGER!!!
>>749615487https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-E7tspL6-che also redid the way the planets are rendered to make this possible, no more scale cheating and invisible walls blocking you from flying close because the planet model is a fraction of its actual size>>749615517read the video description, you'll be able to fly to where you want to land manually as well
>>749616284i wanted to edit where the video started, but I forgot to do that when I began the Webm creation. I stopped it partway through and trimmed the video how I wanted to do it, but then forgot to generate the new webm so the old one that was underbaked got posted instead.
>>749616228This is what Todd was trying to tell everyone.
its a hidden loading screen but obviously done better than in retail
>>749616830From the OP of the video"Contrary to what appears to be a very common misconception, one that I'm entirely responsible for causing by showing just the autopiloted Jemison landing where the ship flies into clouds right at the commit, - the cloud cover is in fact not a fancy loading screen.The clouds are not covering loading - they're helping make the seam as minimal as possible right at the point when we do the final cell switch, in terms of lighting and exposure, and terrain color.For airless moons and planets, I just do the switch with no veil, which is fine in that context as the lighting and exposure won't change as much between the two cells (although there I do some extra exposure matching)."
>>749616228The problem with landings is that basically everything to do to go anywhere in the game is the same boring ass loading screen. You take an elevator, you get the sound and a loading screen to go even just a room or two's height up in a town that you could jetpack in without a loading screen. You open a door to a specific space and it's a loading screen to the interior. You want to enter or leave any planet, it's loading screens to the planet, and a loading screen to get off your ship. You want time efficiency, sure, don't get the mod, but this got made because people are tired of literally everything being loading screens, ruined the immersion once people realized the ships and world scale were cheated in space to not be anything like what you'd expect from the premise.
>>749615432*ClaudeClaude is fixing it. Modders didn't want to approach this piece of shit "game" with a 10ft pole.
>>749617337This guy has been working on this since before vibecoding.
>>749615432is the game fun now?
>>749617872if you tried it at launch and hated it, you'll likely still hate it. I'm enjoying it more now than I did at launch
>>749616072that game is basically ac valhalla if it were worse
>>749617974i enjoyed it at launch but I never got to unity, and I've since found out the game really only gets fun after unity but my save that has basically done the entire universe but unity is corrupted from mods from the early day of Starfield. I haven't been able to get into the will to be able to play the game, get to unity and then do that all over again
Did they also fix the shitty narrative and quest design?
>>749618108unity literally just upgrades your space-dovahkiin powers, gives you a alien space ship, and gives you dialogue options to skip a select few quests
>>749615541>8s long animation to get in the pilot seat
>>749615432Imagine having to go through this shit every time you want to land on a planet
>>749618261Do any of these new space games have good quests?
>>749615432what's the point when you'll still be in the dogshit setting of saarfield
>>749619631yea where the fuck are the mods to add actual aliens and 10x the amount of unique locations and PoIs and add more characters and companions and other interesting things to the game.
>>749619060no
>>749619726>aliensfag. we'll probably get official aliens though, on account of all the other fags modding tasteless star wars trash in
>>749615514>spbpanybody talking shit about this game has never played itI was having a blast building my base last nightI want to FUCK[/spoiler Sarah Morgan
>>749620042This dumb bitch has been with me from the start. She followed my entire rise through ranks of the crimson fleet into semi retirement as an organ harvester. I've lost count of how many times she's sat me down for a "serious conversation" where she chews me out and threatens to leave. I talk her down and she buys it every time.
>>749615432Now fix the terrible story, characters, level design, creative direction and world building.
>>749616083You could have a fun game with fallout americans vs communists on mars or flying cities in venus.
>>749615716>expanding fallout into spaceyou already got that in 3
>>749615432mod for unemployed gaymers
>>749619893not having aliens made the game incredibly lame. like you already established there's life on countless planets, evidence of intelligent aliens who built these precursor ruins and shit that lead to the unity, etc. yet they didn't even bother adding earth animals to the game because in their retarded version of the world nobody brought their fucking cats and dogs or anything else into space despite spending years evacuating earth, and left them all to die on the planet. and on those hundreds of planets with evolved life, every single god damn one of them had to be ugly and scaly and dinosaur, lizard, or bird-like, with not a single primate or furry mammal on any one of these fucking planets. it's just so unimaginably dull. it feels like every planet is either a barren moon, or the sonora desert with slightly different reptilian monsters, and not in a vast galaxy with infinite diversity.
>>749620042>I was having a blast building my base last nightfallout 4 settlement building was kino. starfield base building feels totally meaningless and tacked on.
>>749620042I played it for like 30 hours and was bored the entire time
>>749621096What is this, Night city on low res?
>>749617229And another plebbit post mentioned the cost of streaming in the next cell while still being in the previous cell. Roughly 25% more memory needed and that's already with the author's asset unloading solution.
>>749615716I'm not a plotfagI don't care about loreAll they had to do (mechanically) was Fallout 4.5 in spaceAND THEY FUCKED IT UP in biblical proportions
>>749616183This.The game is utterly F U C K E D beyond any fixing at the planning stage.
>>749619032I know it's hard for you kiddos to sit still and not have your face glued to your phone any time there is downtime so as not to be alone with your own thoughts and the Damocles' sword of crushing existential angst looming over them, but I promise you will grow out of it one day...maybe.
>>749621137>aliens>no aliensit literally does not matter>wow there's aliens now! all of them are ugly variations of the same 3 models (like human NPCs) with different colors, 3 dialogue lines and no charisma
>>749623251>blah blah blah just consoom the boring slop I madeolder than you btw
>>749619060Underspace
>>749616228lmfao
>>749623740fuck off you shitposting doomsissy retard.
rate my dungeon felladhttps://files.catbox.moe/u6wop4.jpg
>>749624331this post needs more buzzwords
>>749615432It's a game by indians, for indiansShould have spent that admirable effort elsewhere
>>749624535You need more noose around your neck, retard.
>>749624952You should take a deep breath, anon. It will be better for your blood pressure.
>>749615514Yep, it's just another Bethesda title. You most likely just don't like the setting if you liked for example Skyrim, but not Starfield desu.
>>749615514that would be reentry, ksp or children of a dead earth
>>749625226Retard alert, STOP LYINGI wish Starfield was just "another Bethesda title", people would love it if it was just that, but it's so embarrasingly bad that even bethesda bootlickers can't stomach the shit.
>>749624792>r/indiangaming
>>749615541It's a good webm. Gets the point across, no bloat. Would watch again/10
>>749625681I just don't see how it's significantly worse than Fallout 3 and 4 (and 76 if we count that). Well I guess those games had good soundtrack thanks to the setting but other than that, it's just another mid to good Bethesda experience depending on how much you like Toddslop.
>>749625681I have to agree with that, and I'd defend Skyrim and Fallout 4 to death. It's a downgrade from FO4 in almost every way.>>749626031Todd used to say that their worlds are the main characters of those games. Starfield doesn't have much of a world.
>>749615432>Wasting you precious AI tokens to fix Bethesdas dogshit gameOk but why?
>>749615432No Man Sky and Star Citizen already do that.>gamebryoLol
Bethesda breaking my Skyrim modlist to add an ikea shelf was the last straw, I'm never paying for another Bethesda game again I'm pirating everything so they can't ever fuck with me again.
>>749619060Only that NTR one /v/ was excited about several years ago
>>749626427Learn how to downgrade your game next time, everyone who mods these games should know how to do this by now
>>749626427I'm one of the biggest fans around and the only game I bought was 76 for like 5 bucks. They gave me a free copy of Morrowind some years back and I still pirate it out of principle.
>>749616471there's still technically a seam, it's just hidden in the cloud layer that magically appearsalso there's still fuck all to do when you land
Modders doing what Bethesda is too lazy to do themselves as usualhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu4XFHEOFfA
>>749626031>I just don't see how it's significantly worse than Fallout 3 and 4Then open your eyes nigga. Starfield literally has no world to explore, Bethesda has decided to trash literally the biggest reason people play their games, the thing they actually did well.>>749626153This guy gets it.
>>749624373Looks gross
Is that going to fix the dogshit leveling system that depends on stupid shit like "jump down and break your legs 200 times to unlock the new level of this retarded perk, that is required to pick up something useful 2000 falls later"?
>>749616471Bethesda is so fucking pathetic.
Looks like Starfield is finally starting to catch up to Skyrim and Fallout 4 a bit as Outfit and Bodyslide Studio just got released for it.https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/18449
>>749625173You should be buried six feet deep, retard. It will be better for the quality of /v/
>>749624014Okay, fair.
>>749615541this is just what star wars outlaws did
>>749621137>didn't even bother adding earth animals to the gameThey did with the Free Lanes patch, but they've only featured guinea pigs for now. Other Earth animals are confirmed to be around, but they're rare, and some breed of cats and dogs have gone extinct
>>749624373not enough futanari 2/10
>>749628253they've had an animation framework for months now but still no decent sex mods have come from it. starfield modding moves at a snail's pace. i've given up following it at all and probably won't bother even looking at the game again for another two years minimum to see if any progress has been made, but by then TES6 will be out and everyone will have moved on to that.
>>749629006cute gerbil
>>749629169https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/14425https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/13329
>>749629230those are both pre-animation framework mods with canned animations, and not very good in general.
>>749615432landing on a planet vs. having a cutscene to do it has no real benefit and adds almost nothing to the game
>>749629363You think you land a spaceship in "manual mode" you brainlet?
>>749629328Incorrect. They both used Native Animation Framework initially, but has since upgraded to Starfield Animation Framework, and were also fairly recently ported into OSF as well. They're decent, but not quite advanced yet (lacking orgasm animations and immersion mods that utilize them besides that brothel one).
>>749629624I NEED MORE SPACEPORNWHERE IS MY DEGENERATE STARSHIP HAREM WHERE I CAN IMMERSIVELY RECRUIT AND FUCK 50+ FEMALE COMPANIONS IN 500 DIFFERENT WAYS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE TWO YEARS AGO REEEEEEEEE
>>749616471That's so fucking cool, this modder did an amazing job
>>749627085Good start, but the author needs to improve these textures big time
>>749616183this>>749615541this is very cool but see above
>>749629802>50+ FEMALE COMPANIONSProbably not enough mods that pushes us towards having that many yet>500 DIFFERENT WAYSGergel Ebanex initially listed having 1000+ different sex animations
>>749630457>Gergel Ebanex initially listed having 1000+ different sex animationswhich is a misleading and inflated advertisement, since most of the "different" animations are the same position 20x with a limb slightly moved between each animation, then those same positions again with all their "variations" but against various furniture. and it still lacks the top tier immersiveness of Skryim's goonmods, plus there are no pregnancy and birth mods as far as I know though this could change in the future with the recent addition of bodyslide and outfit studio.
Why cares about transitions if there is nothing to do in the transition zone. It's just empty air and there won't be any battles or anything there.
>>749631684You have to be a bit of an /out/fag to get it
For me, it's No Man's Sky.I want to try Starfield again sometime though. You could tell that it had promise until Microsoft cut the balls off it.
>>749631574>abo breeding mods>zero-g sex with abos>abo children in your houses>abos serving you their children for breakfast
>>749631574gergel ebanex also sucks because it's extremely janky to try and use to self-insert your MC into scenes in an immersive way. if you don't want to mess with the jank then all it does is copy a fake version of your MC and creates the scene in front of your actual player character, which is like you're getting cucked by your identical twin. it's mostly just to cause other characters to fuck each other which is also lame and gay (literally the mod is also extremely gay and half its animations are gay stuff). the funniest use of the mod is to cause characters you don't like to get gay raped in public, but even then standing around watching that is itself very gay.
>>749624373???
>>749632000>all it does is copy a fake version of your MC and creates the scene in front of your actual player characterJust turn that off in it's settings so it actually pulls you in the scene, then use the free cam console command to get a better look. Just don't enable free cam in the space cells because it fucks with the lighting for some reason.
>>749630129it would take 3 minutes with AI
>>749631907funny enough I don't think the horrific proc-gen NPCs are even valid targets for any of the existing mods, because they're not even treated as "real" people by the game code.
>>749632270They can be killed, looted or manipulated with the Skyrim powers. The major problem is how they're set up to run away and despawn forever.
>>749631738>You have to be a bit of an /out/fag to get itI'd say it's hard to come close to true sublime beauty without any underlying terror. I assume you can't burn up in the atmosphere and your ship isn't in any danger.
why waste starfield posts here when the thread on /vg/ is wasting away? I need people there to address my newfag concerns and musings. They don't even have the energy to coom post their waifus or anything
>>749635579starfield majorly dropped the ball on waifus. there's only a handful of decent looking women in the entire game. Andreja, some recruitable crew member in the new atlantis cafe who's name I forget, mineral store girl on Neon, Rayna Marquez from the Den who you can't even recruit or anything. I'm genuinely surprised there are no mods to recruit her after finishing the quest she's a minor part of. might be one or two I'm forgetting. oh yea, the captain of the generational ship in orbit around the luxury resort planet. there's just a really weird and distinct lack of "beautification" mods for this games below average looking NPC cast in general, and I'm not even accounting for the heinously ugly procedural NPCs
>>749635579Not much of us left in there nowadays and it's already died several times. Which is why I also have a thread up on /vrpg/ just in case we stop making topics on /vg/.
>>749636243You could just use the NPC Enhancer Gun mod and change up an NPC's looks yourself. Bethesda did give us Muria as a companion with the Free Lanes update, so maybe there's hope for more npc turned into companions in the future
have they made it so i can make that moody goth chick into my wife yet?
>>749636749No romance yet, for now she's just been made as an Elite Crew...who you an bang with mods
>>749615514The X-tech endgame really made the game fun for me. Add to that the countless top tier reasonably priced creations and you got yourself the best, most complete space sim out there in the market.
>>749636627I did use that mod for awhile but it was very time consuming and most of my characters tended to loo a little too samey when I was finished with them as I'm not great at using the character creator.
>>749625226Individually the quests are better written compared to Skyrim too kek
Is there like a general baseline bunch of mods that should be installed? Things like engine fixes and bug fixes?
>>749637392I wouldn't praise the writing too much desu. The main quest is awful. But, compared to Skyrim, this is probably true for the guilds. The ryujin quests for example actually involve stealth and speech checks instead of just raiding the same draugr dungeons with a different coat of paint. Hell, even Bard's college in Skyrim was just draugr raiding.
>>749639205not really starfield is bethesda's most stable game with barely any crashes, the only things you have to remember is to get the pointer fix and modding extension fix if you want to install a shitton of mods because that pretty much eliminates all issues with the engine and growing save files.
>>749615541They should add overheating mechanics for diving in too fast to raise the skill floor a bit on landings. Put some gameplay into it, engage the neurons a bit. Make us plot a bit of a trajectory, you know?
>>749620796That's some gimmick bullshit. Let me see the pipe ships building and ghoul in vacuum..
>>749636243>starfield majorly dropped the ballCould've just stopped there. The game is a piece of shit desu
Don't forget to combine it with these when it eventually dropshttps://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/17159https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/17719
>>749639792thanks for your input, virgin.
>>749632265pretty sure author used ai to make these dogs, when there are free animals models in the internet
>>749643876people freak the fuck out when you use free models or textures though
>>749644425Who gives a fuck if it's a free mod, faggots can seethe but if the model is free, it's fine. If you want to buy a model then do it, but creating them with AI is shit. Just look at it, there are even some weapons and spacesuits that are like 3 gb because it's unoptimized shit
>>749644527It will get better as people get better at using the tools. AI can't stop lazy faggots from being lazy, though.
>>749621137How would you write aliens into starfield? Would they be hostile like the covenant or friendly like mass effect aliens? Would they look like blue humans or like lizards?
>>749646435Honestly aliens are extremely easy to write into the setting since there's the starborn being around. All you need to do is say that God who seeded artifacts around the universe also did that to other growing alien races and opened a portal to our solar system. Then you can write aliens as space refugees running from something from their colony ships or have a timeskip and have aliens live on the many planets in starfield. All they need to do is keep expanding and growing the lore.
>>749647505Nobody knows if the starborn are aliens, they could pull an Interstellar and say they are future humans, or ancient humans
>>749647582Starborn are just humans from other realities but nobody knows anything about the artifacts and it's powerful enough to make some new lore up about putting aliens in the setting.
>>749615432The game is worse than fallout 4 how the fuck are modders going to fix that
>>749647754They already did, also the engine is more capable and has more features than fo4 engine
>>749646435First contact. Humanity is still expanding and have only colonized a small bubble around Sol. The snake niggers at the very edge of the frontier found alien probes and that's why they went dark to keep it to themselves.
>>749616471Nice. Starfield is now on the same level as a bargain bin unity asset store game.
>>749647947survival asset flip lmao
>>749647754Super Intelligence
>>749646435Starfield already has aliens THOUGH?? Does alien only mean rubber forehead blue (wo)men to you?Admittedly, they're pretty boring animals, not enough differentiation, only terrormorphs are sort of notable. Given the mind control they are probably sentient or at least intelligent. But there's nothing wrong with aliens being alien and inscrutable
>>749615541Let me guess, every planet landing has you go through a layer of thick clouds to mask the transition.
>>749648945he just want to fuck aliens like in mass effect
>>749650525It looks like the transition happens at the start, not in the clouds. especially because most planets and moons don't have clouds, so it wouldn't work
>jeetslop
>>749647947You're absolutely retarded to make this comparison because Starfield is quite literally the most fully featured space game out right now.
>>749651158You troons say this about every game
>>749651158You can parrot the overused slurs and meme names all you want, but it wont stop me from playing this game.This game have it's moments, but are not properly developed, like you want more this and not fucking that, ie. 1000000 barren copy pasted planets, you cant even orbit in ship and land whenever you like and how you like. Flying in general is heavily casualized.There is simply too much running from a to b and back facing loading screens this and that.But under sea of problems it's still bethesda game 1 to 1.Sure there is a lot of woke approach, so far i cope with it this way - colony wars reduced male population, so only competent left is female or something... but its bullshit .In short: played worse games, so far i am enjoying it.The only current true problem with this game i have is... still there is no proper tools for animatic custom moded weapons.
>>749620042mods to make sarah look and talk like grace??? also sex mods would be nice too
Look at what some guy did to Sarah
749651869
>>749654714Mexican Sarah is something else.
>>749654714mild improvement, honestly.
>>749626752Most space flight games do that, it's rarely seamlessl like in Evochron Mercenary.Not even Elite Dangerous has true seamless landings.
>>749651869lol no
