starry skyDespite launching at the end of the year, it’s still shrouded in mystery. While we know a little bit about the game, we still don’t have the gameplay or insight into what the game will actually look like when it launches on Xbox Series X/S and PC later this year.
Luckily, then, Bethesda is starting to leave us some scraps in the direction of — hopefully — some kind of big reveal. The latest Starfield news we’ve received comes from the Bethesda website, introducing us to Starfield lead designer Emil Pagliarulo in a new blog.
According to the blog, Pagliarulo is a Bethesda Game Studios veteran with 19 years of experience at the studio. From The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to Fallout 76, and Rogue Gold elsewhere, projects named after him.
“Literally, the day I arrived in Bethesda, I was placed in Morrowind’s Blood Moon expansion,” he explained in a blog post (which would be what people want to get a classic Bethesda in Starfield flavored music).
A recent Bethesda game also inspired him. “Thinking about it now, Fallout 3 really stood out,” he explained when asked about his favorite Bethesda project to date. “We just got this classic IP and it was my first lead role and we really had to create everything from scratch. So there was a lot of stuff that became a staple of the franchise and I had to help create the whole cloth. VATS, unlocked Minigames, dialogue system, some new creatures and weapons. Meet Liam Neeson and record his lines – how can you beat it? And, you know, Fallout 3 isn’t a big game, really. Not according to Bethesda standards. But it’s tight…and it’s really popular. So with that feeling, not only did we not screw up, we really created something special. That’s a Exciting time.
Elsewhere in the blog post, Pagliarulo noted that both the Cyberpunk and PlayStation Spider-Man games left him shaking his head in disbelief, thanks to the technical achievements in the games. “I really love playing games that make me shake my head, like, ‘Wow. I know how they do it, it’s a crazy achievement.’ The latest Spider-Man game is just that for me. Or Cyberpunk. Man, to make a huge open environment like Night City? It’s no mean feat. Impressive.
So while we may not have any solid gameplay to catch our eye yet, it’s good to know that Starfield is in the hands of someone with Bethesda blood from the classic era and the 360/PS3 era.
