A Starfield remake, of sorts, has been created in 48 hours, incorporating seamless travel between planets, something missing from the actual Bethesda RPG.

Oh wow, I haven't played since before you could land on planets. My issue with Elite was always feeling like there was exactly nothing to do at all beside mine and be bad at dog fights lol.

I mean, that's still pretty much the case, it's just emulated very well, with lots of polish. It's a lot like Minecraft in that you have to make your own fun, but once you find it it's a very nice flow. It's definitely better with friends, and fights with real players especially are fun, and make you realize just how bad you are.

What's fun about getting ganked by overengineered griefers hunting newbies at the first engineering station that the game points you to? I jumped to solo after that. Fuck that.

Likewise, I haven't played any of the expansions. I didn't say it was a perfect game, just that landing and taking off has not been better in any other game. I loved the space stations.

Yeah no argument coming from me. Just sharing my two cents :)

You mean you can now land on planets in Elite Dangerous? A game I own and haven't played in years? This is the second game I've been shown I need to go back to by these conversations. 'Satisfactory' popped up yesterday. At this rate I'll never play Starfield.

You can land on moons in elite dangerous and if you have the expansion you can land on planets and moons with a light atmosphere and walk on foot.

If anyone complained about barren moons everywhere in starfield, just be warned elite has exactly zero interesting planets/moons in the literal billions of star systems it has. Everything is identical minus terrain colors and planetary rings. I loved elite for a while, but as far as exploration goes you really need to like scanning for the sake of scanning.

Starfield has a lot of stuff to explore, even if some of it is repetitive, but elite has maybe 10-15 interesting locations in the entire galaxy...
