Starfield is likely to set a new standard for sci-fi games when it hits store shelves.
Bethesda’s innovation in sci-fi games with Starfield could inspire No Man’s Sky for future updates.
Bethesda aims to top again after 25 years
This game will be Bethesda’s first new game in 25 years and offers many possibilities by combining the studio’s tried-and-tested formula with an entirely new genre. It seems to have everything a sci-fi fan could ask for, and its many mechanisms could inspire the future of the entire genre.
One of the features Starfield introduces is an extensive ship customization mechanic that gives players almost unlimited control over every aspect of their vehicle. This multitude of options will give players more reasons to come back and add a lot of replayability to Starfield. While this feature is found in very few sci-fi games, including games like Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, Bethesda is hoping to change that. Additionally, it looks like the perfect addition to Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky.
No Man’s Sky could be inspired by Starfield features
No Man’s Sky has come a long way since its inception, and it looks like the studio has plans to expand the game even further. The initial state left many desirable features missing. However, Hello Games is determined to optimize the game. No Man’s Sky has become one of the greatest sci-fi games over time. It offers a truly excellent experience for those who love this genre, and the future of the game looks brighter as the studio plans for bigger updates.
Hello Games has not only brought countless new mechanics to the No Man’s Sky gameplay loop, but also given players the freedom to decide how they express within their galaxy. In No Man’s Sky, players can build flashy bases, customize their characters, design the interior of giant vehicles, choose the best looking vehicles for the mission, and purchase a wide range of vehicles during their journey. But Hello Games can take this one step further.
Starfield will allow players to customize almost every aspect of their ship, and No Man’s Sky needs inspiration from this feature. The game seems to be shaped around the concept that players can do whatever they want inside their galaxy. While this may seem counterintuitive for players to have limited control over how their ship will look, this may be waiting to be fixed in a future update.
This may take some work. But allowing players to build their own personal ships in No Man’s Sky can be a great change. They should be able to choose their cockpit, customize their wings, choose their thrusters, and even decide how the landing gear will look. Let’s see how Hello Games will decide.
