The audio quality drops in the final minute due to a copyright claim, apologies for this inconvenience. Also, screw KZitem for not telling me of this claim until the video went live. This video was uploaded and waiting to premiere for 2 days, and they didn’t say a thing until an hour after being posted. I could’ve fixed this issue without damaging the quality of the outro, but oh well.

What Bruce Nesmith so conveniently leaves out in his example about meeting expectations, is that, as is often the case, he was the one raising these expectations in the first place. Like with CDPR and Cyberpunk2077 devs and publishers tend to claim that the fans had expectations which couldn't be met, when they are directly responsible for creating these expectations.

I don't know if you can put them both together in the same "back then". 0x10^c is still closer to present day than to 10th planet. Also in 1995 was released the third installation of Elite series. So ambitious open world space games were definitely possible and already done before 10th planet.

Wonderfully informative! Ever since Starfield's announcement I couldn't shake my confusion over its existence since it felt like it was out of nowhere, but now it all makes sense. I'm not much of a sci-fi fan so I'm still on the fence about buying Starfield, but it's nice to know that the game Bethesda spent much of the 1990's trying to make is finally coming out.

Yep, he covered the 1998 trailer 5 years ago. However, I believe Moritz Ernst Jacob may be the first channel on KZitem to document the game, realising footage of the 1996 self-running demo over 9 years ago. Still, Skullzi was the first to make any kind of commentary video regarding the subject, so credit to him for breaking the story back then :)

He's only gone and done it! Thanks for putting in the effort with something as relatively obscure as this - research can't have been easy. As a Stargate fan, it's fascinating to learn that not only was Dean Devlin on the project, but he also wanted to bring some of that SG weirdness with the mix of military sci fi and ancient astronauts. Gotta love it. Anyway, great job and props for using Starfield as an excuse to talk about TTP and not the other way around. Keep it real.

Thank you! It was quite exciting as I jumped down the rabbit hole of the Centropolis partnership, being a fan of the Stargate series (and the film by proxy). Certainly a lot more details out there in magazines than I would've thought when I started, it really makes me wonder how much of Nesmith's original design docs laid the foundation for Starfield. Seeing as he still worked there until 2021, I believe he must've had some say in it.

Doomed to the fate of No Man's Sky by proxy. It will still perform well, maybe even better if it's actually good - but I'm not sold on it having the mainstream appeal of TES and Fallout purely due to the genre it has chosen. But then again, with Gamepass, who's to say. I'm sure Bethesda's accountants will be very happy regardless. Fingers crossed it doesn't feel as flaccid as Outer Worlds (personal opinion, that game has many divided opinions).
