Gameplay leak, first half an hour. Intro spoilers

It's a guy playing the beginning of the game, it's filmed in vertical with the phone :) Will most likely be taken down very soon.

I didn't watch the intro, just skimmed through the gameplay parts, looks really good.

Filmed his TV using his phone in portrait mode. Just as Todd intended it to be.

  Also they are going to get their ass sued off by Bethesda/Microsoft.
  
  Has that ever happened? Feels extremely unlikely.
  
  Worst case (if you leak this close to launch, otherwise good luck) is you getting fired if you work at the game company.
And it’s gone
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nVQcEKpPFo someone posted it again.
  
  Gone again.
Looks basically as expected from the official trailers! Cool to see more backgrounds; I think I’m going to go with Explorer but it’s gonna be hard to choose.
Only thing holding me back from pre order is PC performance and just performance in general. Imo Bethesda games on PC don't play well. So I have been holding out hope reviews before release can tell me. PC ports have been terrible this year :)
- I'm in a similar situation. I want to see how (if?) it runs on a steam deck before I decide where to buy it. Otherwise I'd have already pre-ordered it.
  
  Same boat here. I've been mad interested in Starfield since it was announced, but my Deck is now my primary gaming device. I need to make sure it can be modded to a stable 30FPS before I buy it.
  
  I'm guessing if it ran well on Steam Deck they would have already announced that. Unless Microsoft told them not to.
- It's not going to be a port AFAIK. Bethesda always made games focusing on PC and modding, and with a decent performance.
  
  Let's not pretend that just because Bethesda started out as a PC developer that it means the games run well. I still can't get a stable frame rate on Fallout 4 in all areas, shit I still can't get a stable frame rate in Oblivion due to the game's own optimization being a bottleneck. Their games are very moddable, but their huge amount of content and dynamic mechanics have clearly made it difficult to optimize.
  
  Hopefully the game will run decently, but I doubt it'll be a totally seamless and smooth experience, though I'd love to be proven wrong.
