YouTuber Cycu1 conducted a comparative analysis of two versions of the new Starfield space sim from Bethesda. Initially, the project was supposed to be released in 2022, but then the date shifted due to the desire of the developers to improve their offspring.
In the comparative video, the author was unable to select the same time of day, but the very first task was used for evaluation both there and there. Because of this, you might think that lighting and texture quality have deteriorated in the release version. Some details of the locations have changed, as well as the rendering of the faces of the characters (some players are sure that NPCs looked better before).
In general, the video is indicative, and based on it you can decide whether to buy Starfield or wait a year until the game is finished with mods.
