According to Bethesda Support, even the Intel Arc A770 GPU does not meet Starfield's PC minimum requirements.

It just looks so generic, from the footage I've seen color isn't even really there, just the regular old brown and gray landscape everywhere.

If it were even graphically interesting in any way, I might be more understanding, but this really isn't it.

The game has some nasty color filters in it that fuck everything up hard

One mod and an ini setting later and you get much better results, though still nothing amazing

Screenshots on this page help show the insane differences:

I honestly feel like I’m playing new vegas

Bethesda isn't capable of making a game as good as new Vegas.

That is the “art direction”.

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, but I don't think that computers struggle based on the colours lol

[–] Katzastrophe@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

My man, I know how computers work, I meant that the game looks so fucking bland, that it doesn't even deserve to be given the "Woops, your rig is too weak" treatment, because there is simply nothing interesting to look at, that would give it the right to do so.

Yeah, it's kinda drab in a lot of places. Which is a shame, because I really love the cassette futurism/NASApunk aesthetic.
