Starfield’s big reveal helped suppress my inner skeptic

We finally got our first glimpse of Starfield at the Xbox & Bethesda showcase at Summer Geoff Fest, having seen lots of clips of Todd Howard speaking words with devs who nodded across tables. I partly share the same opinion as Alice Bee, who thought the game could’ve shown us anything and they chose gray rocks again.

What I wasn’t expecting was to feel a bit emotional about the game’s reveal, though. I mean, I felt this weird swell in my chest of excitement or something. Maybe it was the crushing jet lag, or maybe it was a heady mixture of nostalgia. Let’s investigate.
