The latest Starfield trailers and game play showcases look promising. Sounds like there will be semi-random missions available on explorable planets.

So much for "1st half of 2023." At least this gives me more time to play some other games first.

That's unfortunate, I was hoping to play this game over the summer and now it comes out a week after the release of Baldur's Gate 3. The first half of 2023 is now looking quite barren outside of Hogwarts and RE4.
Maybe for you, but Jedi: Fallen Order is going to be a pretty big release, and for Switch Owners, Tears of the Kingdom is probably the biggest release the system has seen in years and Final Fantasy 16 in June.
Now, if release dates hold, the back half of the year should have some strong releases like Starfield and Spideman 2.
Speaking of Baldur's Gate, weird how it's gonna come out on PS5 but not Xbox at the moment, but there is no exclusivity attached. Seems the developers can't get it to run on the Series S with split-screen co-op, but it launching with features on Series X but not on Series S is not acceptable to MS unless they are purely graphical similar to what Sony and MS outlined for allowable differences between base PS4/X-Box One and PS4 Pro and X-Box one X. I wonder if they eventually get it to work or whether they scrap that feature for X-Box overall so they can release it.

Dont worry, once May/June comes along they will announce it’s being delayed to the holiday season.

Starfield is Reportedly Playable from Start to Finish
According to a report, Bethesda's new space RPG Starfield is finally playable from start to finish, giving players hope for an upcoming release date.

So they're definitely going to take their time to iron out the bugs and glitches. Now with more manpower to it from MS, this might not be so buggy as I hear Bethesda's recent efforts were.

I have mostly loved the Bethesda Fallout/Elder Scrolls games but they just wouldn't be the same if this was the case

My 4 year old daughter came to me in tears asking why this game is locked to 30 fps on consoles. "Not having 60 fps in 2023?!?!" she sobbed. Thanks Bethesda.

Judging by the footage Xbox players will be lucky if the game is locked to 30. From what I saw the game looked pretty unstable.
Aside from that, the game looks incredible. To me this feels like the first true next gen game since Cyberpunk.

Several times, I checked the video resolution options to see if there was a 60fps option that I was missing because the gameplay didn't appear very smooth. I'm guessing that they haven't really optimized it yet. I wonder if they're going to make it or if this will be yet another 2023 game with a lot of optimization issues at launch. Even optimized, I'm not sure if I'll be happy with how it runs on my PC. I'm tempted to upgrade my GPU for it, but I don't want to do that and then have the game be delayed.

Fallout 76 struggled to hit 60 FPS on PC at launch. No idea if that changed since then. The engine Bethesda uses is over 20 years old and incredibly outdated. It's simply not optimized for modern hardware.

There isn't gonna be a 60 fps mode on console, and all the gameplay trailers they showed (which I assume would be running on PC) have been below 30.
This engine is just on its last legs (although everyone said that about fallout 4 too)

I think the development was too far along on the old engine to change to Unreal Engine 5? Star Trek Online on consoles is still using the same 13 year old engine which makes all the ground things look really crap, like crap even for Xbox 360 era, but because all the space battles look good and it's still getting new content every year, people are still playing. Based on what I saw in the Starfield Direct, this game has so many elements that don't rely on a fast frame rate, like everything re: ship, weapons, equipment etc. that if the frame rate on PC and Series X remains somewhat stable, people won't mind that it's 30 FPS.

I don't mind the 30fps. As long as the game is good and plays smoothly.
That being said, I did notice a decent amount of stuttering even in their showcase - which you have to figure is absolutely optimized for a public audience.
Excited for the game, and just hoping it actually plays smoothly.
