#starfield @bethesda Review By Brett Keane · Brett Keane and Eve Show

0:15
Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Brett keen and you
0:18
are watching and listening to the bright King show.
0:21
I hope you're all having a wonderful day out there.
0:24
I hope you're all blessed. Make sure that you check out my
0:28
international radio, links are in the description.
0:31
You can also join me on live shows.
0:33
Usually, on Friday scheduled. You can click notifications on
0:37
my front page. Today, we're going to talk about
0:40
a game called star field. Old.
0:42
We're going to see some of the people that are involved in
0:46
designing that as well as gameplay video and we're going
0:51
to also discuss our personal views and ideas on this game and
0:56
also on a more philosophical level.
1:01
The universe scares the living hell out of me, ladies and
1:04
gentlemen, that does. I don't know how anybody can
1:08
look up into the heavens especially at night and see all
1:11
those stars and the vast emptiness of space and not be in
1:16
complete and utter all A lot of people we keep our heads down to
1:22
the ground and we look straight forward or some of us live in
1:25
the past and we're either looking backwards of frontwards,
1:28
but not all around us at the same time.
1:32
And from what I know about the universe, one of the most
1:35
terrifying aspects is the universe is so big.
1:40
It wouldn't be wrong to imply, that it goes on for, at least by
1:45
appearance for all eternity. There's so many things that are
1:50
going out there. So many things happening in the
1:54
universe. That it's just frightening,
1:59
there's dangers that are unknown.
2:03
And there are also according to NASA, observation, literally
2:08
over 10,000 meteorites, and asteroids that could possibly
2:14
hit our Earth that we're able to observe at all times, but that's
2:18
Only like one percent of what we're able to see, we don't have
2:24
the technology or the ability on our little blue ball that is
2:27
racing billions of miles per hour through space.
2:33
The unbelievable amount of things that could kill us and
2:38
destroy us and wipe us out when we really fathom, how big the
2:42
universe is and all the things that are going on in it, it
2:46
causes us to Be humble and realize that according to the
2:52
radar of the universe. It's almost as if we're not
2:55
exist at that, were not even here.
2:58
That's how small we are. We're just like a tiny fraction
3:03
and time and anomaly some would say a miracle, some would say by
3:11
a millionth and 100 Powers. We were not inevitable.
3:19
We were never meant to be. For sure or necessary.
3:24
Unless one of coursework to believe in a God or higher power
3:29
of some sort. Well, Bethesda offers this game
3:34
called star field and it's supposed to be one of the most
3:37
extraordinary games that have ever come to exist.
3:41
Since it's what you call a game changer for the last decade.
3:45
A lot of games have pretty much copied each other tried to do
3:49
better than each other, but none of them tried to be absolutely
3:55
original or unique and and go somewhere that other games.
4:00
Haven't this game though although it does have a lot of
4:04
the common things in it, such as exploring and shooting enemies
4:09
and going on missions and Quest. Like we routinely know the game
4:14
allows us to travel through space travel to other planets.
4:21
Explore other worlds. It's a kind of like being able
4:29
to hit power on a console, or your computer and finding
4:34
yourself and like the Star Trek universe.
4:38
But I would say that if you were to compare two Star Trek, you'd
4:41
probably have to go with something like Deep Space, Nine
4:44
or Star Trek Enterprise, where it was all.
4:50
Just starting out the concept is is it doesn't want to go too far
4:55
into the fantasy and wants to give this realistic appearance
4:59
or approach for its players. I can see already whenever
5:07
watching this. That they put a lot of time into
5:12
it and according to the website, they spent over 25 years
5:15
designing this. It's their baby.
5:20
It sir, top creation, they claim to have done a lot of research
5:25
from NASA what would actually happen in the event of this
5:30
happening or this scenario or this scenario.
5:35
They really, really put a lot of thought, a lot of time and of
5:38
course there was a great deal of art Direction.
5:41
But one thing that I discovered while watching and listening to
5:46
the gameplay video, it's over 45 minutes long.
5:51
That none of this universe. None of this sandbox.
5:55
World could exist. Unless there was an entire team
6:00
of designers and organizers and creators.
6:03
That's right. Ladies and gentlemen.
6:06
There are people out there who actually believe that it's
6:08
possible that he Universe can come into existence without the
6:12
assistance of a designer or programmer, but Bethesda proves
6:17
that in order to create such a world with all of its lighting
6:21
with all of its structure with all of its goals, purpose,
6:26
meaning and mind it requires a lot of logic, a lot of
6:30
rationality and let's not forget even with Bethesda games.
6:35
There comes a A lot of bugs. A lot of Bethesda games whenever
6:39
you play them, they have all kinds of issues even though they
6:45
know damn near everything about it and what they're doing they
6:50
kind of also learn as I go. To me watching something like
6:56
this coming to existence, it validates, even more and more.
7:01
That there is a God that there is a designer.
7:05
And I am not trying to imply that we might live in a
7:09
simulation. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not
7:12
trying to put that forth but I think I can see why one would
7:17
believe that we do live in some kind of program the world.
7:23
Regenerated content, everything that we see some of it.
7:29
Of course, predetermined It's interesting because when the
7:35
designers talk, they say, we wanted to program and create a
7:40
world where you would be able to explore and be able to make
7:43
choices. It's all about you and all
7:45
about, you making choices all about your free.
7:49
Will you build your own story in this universe that they created
7:54
Todd? Howard emphasize that Yet, at
7:58
the same time, when you're designing a universe and you're
8:00
designing an entire existence, some things have to be
8:05
predetermined, some things have to be predestined.
8:10
Things have to have a start and an ending, or your options, have
8:16
to lead the consequences, if there is no consequences or
8:21
there is no reward, then what's the point of even existing at
8:25
all what's the point of life? And whenever it comes to the
8:30
game of star field or comes to your own real life?
8:35
What is the reward and what is the consequences of you ever
8:39
made decisions in your life that brought consequences for you.
8:44
Now, when you're playing the game obviously there's going to
8:48
be some people out there where you're not quite as skilled or
8:52
maybe you are skilled but something.
8:54
Totally unexpected happens to you and you find yourself dying
8:58
on some kind of dead Moon. Perhaps, you have fought some
9:03
kind of creature that you did not realize that was standing
9:06
behind a tree. Perhaps, you decided to go down
9:11
into a deep dark tunnel and you are attacked by a bunch of very
9:16
strange. Unusual meat-eating creatures
9:18
that have tore a hole in your oxygen suit.
9:22
What will you do? When this happens will you
9:25
become angry? Will you yell at the designers?
9:30
Will you raise your fist and throw down your controller and
9:33
say, damn, you designers. Damn, you programmers, you put
9:37
me in this world. You told me that it was
9:40
extremely dangerous, you told me that it was tough.
9:43
You told me I need to watch where I'm going and watch what
9:46
I'm doing and I always keep my gun loaded but here I am, I'm
9:51
covered in Alien shit. And I'm not exactly sure what to
9:56
do with myself anymore. Oh goodness.
10:02
Space scares the hell out of me. Ladies and gentlemen.
10:04
It terrifies me. I've been in big gamer for a
10:11
long time and in order to be a gamer like specially a
10:15
role-playing game or such as myself, he likes to immerse
10:19
himself in, to the world's that he finds himself plopped into I
10:25
really, really get very creative I get imaginative.
10:28
That's what video games demand of you, especially sandbox game.
10:33
Sometimes you have to think of creative ways in order to be
10:37
able to solve puddle. Puzzles yet to solve ways to be
10:41
able to get through an event or scenario in order to not only
10:45
get the reward or meet the gold that you want.
10:48
But simply to survive, And that's what really it's things
10:55
like this. It's what you see on the screen
11:00
that proves to me that the Universe I truly do live in
11:04
requires a designer or programmer.
11:08
Could you imagine talking to a skeptic or critic and asking
11:12
them? Is it possible for something
11:14
like this to exist this world to exist without there being a
11:19
designer? What idiot are dumbfounded
11:23
person would ever claim that something like Starfield are
11:28
Fallout or Elder Scrolls could exist without an entire team of
11:36
designers. What kind of fool would ever
11:41
argue that you're irrational and illogical are stupid for
11:45
imagining that there's more to the universe than than just what
11:50
you see moving forward or backwards.
11:55
And obviously, you know that while you're traveling through
11:58
the space of star field and traveling to the universe, you
12:02
know, that the developers and the designers do not actually
12:05
exist in the world. They exist outside the monitor
12:09
watching in which in a way kind of argues that they live outside
12:15
of the space and time and matter of the very universe that they
12:19
designed and created for them time will seemed very, very
12:25
different than the time that you're spending within their
12:29
universe that they programmed and designed At any time at the
12:37
push of a button, they can make that entire universe disappear,
12:42
no matter how heroic you've become, no matter how evil you
12:46
become in the world that they created.
12:48
They could stop at any time. In fact, they have the power to
12:53
stop the sun. They have the power to flood an
12:57
entire planet, they have the power to suddenly make it appear
13:01
as though things are coming into existence, the I spontaneous
13:06
generation if they so choose at any time, they want to do this,
13:11
they can how can anybody criticize someone who believes
13:20
that there are programmers and designers with thought, process
13:24
and logic and rationality behind the whole thing, the kind of
13:29
math, the kind of information, the kind of scripting required
13:34
to create something that somewhat even kind of relates or
13:42
appear, similar to real life. It can't be done without a
13:48
designer or programmer. Well, that's my philosophical
13:58
views on it, ladies and gentlemen, although I'm
14:02
terrified to space. One thing about Brad Keen is I
14:08
take on my fears any phobias, I might have any fears or concerns
14:13
or things I'm worried about, I try to face them head-on Because
14:20
I feel like the experience is worth it.
14:23
No matter what happens. No, what?
14:27
No matter what happens on my adventure, whether I die,
14:31
whether I suffer. The reward is worth it and it
14:36
gives meaning and purpose to existence.
14:40
And to me, if you're not reversing space, if you're not
14:46
Socializing or communicating or feeling this desire to learn
14:51
about the things around you then what is life?
14:58
Life is? Meaning, and purpose, existence.
15:04
I'm looking so forward to the adventure that is being set out
15:07
for me. I sometimes wonder When God
15:15
created us, was there a time? Before we became biological
15:23
organisms before we became the humans that we are today.
15:28
I wonder if we all assembled before God, the spirits and
15:33
souls. And God said, I have created a
15:37
physical universe. And any of you out there who may
15:41
be interested, you get to be a part of it, but there's one
15:45
single catch and of course all of Of us be in the explorers
15:51
that we are. We ask, what is the catch God?
15:54
What is the catch my dear designer?
15:57
And God says, in order for you to fully appreciate this
16:01
universe that I've created, you have to start over, you have to
16:06
take baby steps, you'll come into the world with no memory of
16:12
this conversation and you will learn as you go along.
16:19
Unlike this existence, you won't have the knowledge of
16:22
everything. You won't know everything.
16:25
You won't be able to understand everything that's happening.
16:28
You'll learn. As you go, you'll live as you go
16:30
and you'll die as you go. But whenever you die.
16:35
Providing that during that life, that you existed, you make the
16:40
choice that you want to come back to the designer that choice
16:44
will always be available to you. However if you don't then one
16:49
day the game will end and you will remain in the game as its
16:55
pixels are falling to pieces and you will find yourself in the
17:00
darkness of oblivia. And that will be the end of your
17:05
avatar. And your consciousness.
17:11
Everything that makes you alive. I've often wondered if that's
17:19
the way life is that we were given a choice a long time ago
17:24
and for some of us because we can't remember our pre-existence
17:28
when bad things happen, are we make bad choices?
17:32
We blame the designers, not realizing that the entire time.
17:37
This is what we chose. We were given the terms of
17:41
service. We were given the guidelines and
17:44
we were told You're going to be here, but you always.
17:50
It's not as if you'll be completely blind in the game.
17:54
I'll leave a manual inside. Inside the Kosmos of this game,
17:59
there will be a manual and you can learn as much about the
18:03
designers you want. And if you want to return to me,
18:07
you can if you don't. Well, then that's your decision.
18:16
When the designers created, this world of star field, they didn't
18:20
create it with the intention of pissing you off.
18:23
They didn't design the world because they wanted to upset
18:26
you. They designed it so you'd be
18:29
able to have meaning and purpose in an experience.
18:33
The use your creativity in your imagination, to use the very
18:37
mind that you have in order to enjoy what life has to offer.
18:46
And I believe that's exactly the way our real world is.
18:50
I am looking so forward to being able to exploring this and my
18:54
real life, Humanity hasn't come to the point where we have the
18:58
technology to travel thousands of light-years to A worlds and
19:04
planets not yet. I believe that if Humanity
19:08
survives whatever, meteorites and asteroids out there, if we
19:12
survived all the natural disasters and destruction that
19:16
humans do to each other. That one day, it's possible you
19:22
and I Could be doing a Smugglers, Run Through the
19:26
Universe. Exploring New Life, other
19:31
worlds. All this.
19:35
But unfortunately, according to the manual it says that many of
19:41
us are so evil and so corrupt. And I have such black hearts
19:48
That we end up becoming Our Own Worst Enemy and in the end, we
19:54
will trifle all of our potential.
20:00
And we may not make it as far as what we could of due to the
20:04
greed and the nastiness of our own hearts and imaginations.
20:18
There's a ship. It's Landing.
20:24
What do you guys think? I recently upgraded my system, I
20:33
was barely able to travel or Traverse to a city in a game
20:38
like Fallout because my frame rate would drop.
20:44
I love exploring Boston but says, it has offered me world
20:49
such as Boston. They offered me Fallout 76,
20:53
which I got to be honest with you, I didn't really enjoy that
20:57
much and they gave me the Elder Scrolls series.
21:02
I can't tell you how many years I spent on Skyrim and Fallout 4
21:06
and Vegas and Fallout 3. But those were just land areas.
21:13
Now I get to discover the universe.
21:18
Wow, I'm so excited. Are you excited?
21:25
I'm looking forward to building my own ships.
21:29
I'm looking forward to meeting new people.
21:33
Well, a guy people in PCS, it's pretty clear.
21:39
Ladies and gentlemen that artificial intelligence is going
21:42
to be incorporated in many video games moving forward.
21:46
It already has been right now, you can go to steam and you can
21:50
actually look at some of their games in there.
21:54
Adding AI into a game. Imagine yourself able to walk up
21:59
to an NPC and it doesn't just have a couple lines like we need
22:03
you to go. Do this Quest that you can
22:06
actually have a full-on conversation all day with any
22:09
one of the NPC's and each one of them have their own personality
22:13
and their own thought process, but they'll be locked in.
22:20
To talk about, they'll have access to information that you
22:23
would expect from their specific.
22:26
Consciousness or personality because you don't want to be
22:31
talking to an NPC and that suddenly starts talking about a
22:34
bunch of stuff that it seemed trending on Twitter, right?
22:37
So it makes sense that they walk the information that it will
22:41
use, it will have its own memory storage Bank.
22:45
Aren't what it can pull from an extract from just like human
22:48
beings. If you are human being has a
22:51
certain skill set, then you should expect that.
22:54
It will only be able to have conversations about Things that
22:57
it knows about. Although it is true.
23:00
There are a lot of humans out there who like to pretend as
23:02
though they have more skills than what they actually have.
23:06
And they like to talk about shit that they don't actually know.
23:11
I see a lot of that on YouTube, I've observed that for over 20
23:14
years I'm so excited. I like the idea of being able to
23:24
have my own ship and bring people along with me that will
23:28
help me further my adventures and and all that.
23:33
But that has always offered the ability to kind of create
23:38
relationships because the characters have personality you
23:42
learned actually care about them.
23:44
I can honestly say after playing Skyrim I really enjoyed the
23:50
story of Lydia and some of the followers and I had that would
23:54
come with me and they would help me win and fight.
23:57
Help me survive and fall out. I really, really got I really
24:06
felt as though there was kind of a friendship there, even though
24:09
I know it was artificial between Piper Kate and some of the other
24:16
followers that you got to take along with you and even some of
24:19
the new ones that were created by Ma deuce out there.
24:22
Such as Heather, kassadin, and Ivy, the amazing things that
24:31
people are going to be doing with these mods.
24:35
The amazing things, that's one of the cool things about the
24:38
designers of Bethesda like God, they have given people the
24:44
ability to be able to create, they offer creation kits, where
24:48
people like me can actually download software and be able to
24:52
incorporate new content and our own creative and imaginative
24:57
ideas into their world. Or universe.
25:01
This game is probably going to be the game that I live and die,
25:04
aren't I? Games have gotten to a point
25:08
where it costs almost $100 to be able to afford one of these
25:12
things and you have to have high-powered computers.
25:16
I had to go through an entire upgrade recently costed me.
25:20
Hundreds of dollars to be able to upgrade my system.
25:23
So I'll be able to handle the next generation of content and
25:27
material. But I am now 46 years old and I
25:34
know that I spent many years in Skyrim as well as fall out and
25:38
that was just a map that was just an area.
25:43
Now, I'm going to be doing the universe I've told my son and
25:46
daughter that whenever I get into this game as well as my
25:50
wife is so probably most likely be the last game that I require.
25:55
Why play anything else? Whenever I'm going to have an
25:58
entire universe and I'll always have goals and rewards and
26:02
things that I can do. This will be my virtual
26:06
existence I live and die on. So I got the upgrade, I've got
26:12
the system. I've got the requirements more
26:14
than enough. And I'm going to be traversing
26:21
space, very excited about it. What do you guys all think?
26:34
How do you feel about it? This kind of gives me a stall
26:40
Wars star track feel. A little bit of cyberpunk and
26:47
because of the western stuff that's in that I love the
26:49
Western as well. That's one of the reasons I
26:52
always like to fall out because it was kind of this Western
26:55
aspect, it was gritty. Some of the worlds were tore up.
27:00
So are some of the areas that we stand the game but even the
27:05
Thursday has this remarkable way of taking an ugly area that's
27:10
meant to be ugly or apocalyptic. Are you going?
27:13
Medieval. And make it look beautiful.
27:17
How you could travel through a sewer inside the one of their
27:21
games, and it still looks mystical and magical and I just
27:27
don't know how they do it. And the entire thing about Todd
27:34
Howard, and the developers of this game, that's their true
27:39
desires. I want you to have the most
27:41
phenomenal experience that you're ever going to have.
27:45
They spent 25 years creating this.
27:54
To be honest with you, ladies and gentlemen, once this games
27:57
created, as I'm sitting here watching and screen and talk to
28:01
you about it, I don't know if I'll even want to bother talking
28:04
on YouTube anymore. I don't know if I want to bother
28:09
even now. Doing videos.
28:15
I mean, why why bother anymore? I watch somebody recently by the
28:23
name of Candace Owens who's a really sweet young lady,
28:27
beautiful smart, and because she has some views and ideas that
28:33
don't agree with what's being said out there.
28:38
She lost your channel for a little bit there and some others
28:41
have been demonetized that have over millions of Subs.
28:45
Could you imagine that get millions of subscribers and
28:49
because you say, some things that you don't agree with about
28:52
what's going on in the world? A company like YouTube can take
28:56
everything from you. It doesn't matter how big you
28:59
are, how popular you are. Yeah.
29:07
Honestly, I would rather be running around in the universe.
29:12
Eating cheese sandwiches and blowing up, asteroids, and
29:16
waking up and finding out that just because I said something
29:20
that might have hurt somebody's feelings or they didn't agree
29:23
with. Gives these people the idea that
29:28
it's okay to just silence me so I never existed.
29:35
And this universe, the sky is not the limit.
29:41
The universe is not the limit. It's a single-player game folks.
29:51
Maybe one day someone will create a mod where you can
29:55
invite like a friend or something to ride on the ship
29:58
with you and explore space with you, but all your friends will
30:03
be pixels. All your friends will be NPCs
30:11
Everyone. You will meet will probably be
30:13
more interesting than some of the real people you've met in
30:15
your life yet. None of them will have a soul.
30:21
Unless of course the designer decides to make it that way.
30:28
Well, that's that. Ladies and gentlemen.
30:32
I hope you enjoyed the video. God bless.
