Starfield

[Dark Drakan]

Bethesda have been working on a brand new next generation single-player game in a new epic franchise named Starfield. “Our first wholly original franchise in 25 years,” says Todd Howard. The studio has been working away on it for years and it has been a rumoured IP for a long time so its good to hear that its true.

Starfield Release Date Trailer

In news that will surprise absolutely no-one... another game has been delayed and its the one we were all expecting. Along with Redfall but it was really Starfield that came as no surprise.

Yeah, really not a surprise. Cyberpunk 2077 has definitely served as a cautionary tale for developers. And with that game in mind, I’d prefer a finished game to the alternative.

I will be info dumping at some point I’m sure, keeping it light at the moment and drip feeding it in when I find the time.

I see a Solid state drive is also required to run Starfield would an external usb drive work? I don't have any slots open on my motherboard.

More and more games are going down this route, might have to purchase a larger SSD if you already have some and switch out the smaller capacity ones or switch out a regular HD for an SSD in the SATA slot. I am going to have to uninstall some games I think as my SSD's have a small capacity.

I found the slot it was under my GPU lol. I might get the newest windows and boot from there for now on.
