It’s a guy playing the beginning of the game, it’s filmed in vertical with the phone :) Will most likely be taken down very soon.
I didn’t watch the intro, just skimmed through the gameplay parts, looks really good.
Filmed his TV using his phone in portrait mode. Just as Todd intended it to be.

Also they are going to get their ass sued off by Bethesda/Microsoft.
Has that ever happened? Feels extremely unlikely.
Worst case (if you leak this close to launch, otherwise good luck) is you getting fired if you work at the game company.
It all depends on how you got the game. If it was sent early, by accident etc they can’t do anything to you. You didn’t sign an NDA so you can stream as much as you want, sure they will ban you but they can’t sue you since you legitimately got the copy.
Well, the guy has been arrested for it. So I guess that answers it, haha.
And it’s gone

Gone again.
Already down as well. Anyone downloaded a backup?
Thanks! It looks freaking awesome. I wish we didn’t have two weeks to wait still
And gone lol

Sorry, it seems all are down.
Only thing holding me back from pre order is PC performance and just performance in general. Imo Bethesda games on PC don’t play well. So I have been holding out hope reviews before release can tell me. PC ports have been terrible this year :)
I’m in a similar situation. I want to see how (if?) it runs on a steam deck before I decide where to buy it. Otherwise I’d have already pre-ordered it.
Same boat here. I’ve been mad interested in Starfield since it was announced, but my Deck is now my primary gaming device. I need to make sure it can be modded to a stable 30FPS before I buy it.
Personally I’m waiting to see if it’ll run on the Deck as my excuse to buy one lol
Fallout 76 runs at 45ish fps, I don’t think Starfield will get a clean 30fps. Maybe the Rog Ally.
I don’t even get a stable 30fps playing BG3, so I am kind of pessimistic that Starfield will run on the deck. I hope so, but I’ll play it on the Xbox if I have to.
Baldur’s Gate isn’t a Bethesda title. Bethesda games are historically some of the most moddable there are, so I’m cautiously optimistic.
I’m guessing if it ran well on Steam Deck they would have already announced that. Unless Microsoft told them not to.
I’m sort of in the same thought process, especially since they were asked and they gave a “we’ll discuss that later” style response. I have an Xbox for my kids and I pay for whichever version of gamepass that lets you stream games, so push comes to shove I can do that.
It’s not going to be a port AFAIK. Bethesda always made games focusing on PC and modding, and with a decent performance.
Let’s not pretend that just because Bethesda started out as a PC developer that it means the games run well. I still can’t get a stable frame rate on Fallout 4 in all areas, shit I still can’t get a stable frame rate in Oblivion due to the game’s own optimization being a bottleneck. Their games are very moddable, but their huge amount of content and dynamic mechanics have clearly made it difficult to optimize.
Hopefully the game will run decently, but I doubt it’ll be a totally seamless and smooth experience, though I’d love to be proven wrong.
Well, I said decent, and not good or amazing for a reason. Their games aren’t the pinnacle of optimization, but also they are far from the shitty ports out there, specially given how massive their games usually are.
That said, I would never preorder a game. I’m confident that it will be good, but I will see that when it’s released.
Bethesda is hamstringed by their game engine, that is just an engine whose roots stem all the way back to gamebryo
Still, I prefer “poor” (bethesda games don’t not perform that poorly, really) performance with lots of system driven interactions and absolute modability like almost no other games out there than “good” performance.
Looks basically as expected from the official trailers! Cool to see more backgrounds; I think I’m going to go with Explorer but it’s gonna be hard to choose.
