Needless to say, after the recent Starfield release date announcement by Bethesda bigwig Todd Howard, I’m now more excited than ever about the incoming "Skyrim in space" RPG.
But, with Starfield not releasing until September 6th this year, I like many other gamers are going to have to get our planet-exploring, resource gathering, survival RPG kicks elsewhere for a few months.
Gamers on Reddit, though, seem to have found a small solution to that wait, with a thread on the Starfield sub-reddit surfacing a movie that is described as "very Starfield-y in vibe".
I've got to be honest, I hadn't even heard of Prospect before, but I’m a fan of Pedro Pascal and really rated the surrogate father to teenage girl thing of The Last of Us, so I thought I’d dig a little deeper—especially if it will also scratch my Starfield itch a bit.
Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times states that, "The film balances [[link]] genre thrills with a detailed depiction of prospecting on an alien world". While [[link]] Peter Debruge of Variety states that, "Prospect has one thing that most indie sci-fi movies don't, and which any human desperately needs when traveling to unfamiliar worlds: atmosphere."
As such, while it is still well over four months until Starfield comes out, I’m going to follow up my viewing of Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us by watching Prospect this weekend, which will hopefully sate my desire for the game even by just a little bit.
Now, if Bethesda can just take the next four months to polish Starfield so that it isn't a buggy mess at launch, I think all PC gamers the world over will be very happy.
