Starfield’s Retro-Futuristic Look

Starfield is a game that is a mostly unpopular game amongst the gaming community—not because it’s unknown to a lot of people, but because not a lot of people enjoy it. The game was created by Bethesda Studios, who created the Elder Scrolls series (the more well-known games in the ES series are Skyrim and Oblivion), and has been a game in the making for quite a long time. The game is set in the future—the 22nd century—and in a universe where people can travel easily to different civilized planets by star ships, and live in planets that are not that hospitable by any standards; it’s a game with alien creatures, and different gangs, and foods inspired by astronaut and high climate foods, and the capabilities of traveling to different universes. There is the inclusion of NASA that fits within the main storyline (that actually plays a vital role that led to…almost everything that exists in this game). You can visit Earth in its desolate space, and the other walk-able planets that are within the Sol system.

As someone who enjoys playing fantasy games more than sci-fi games, it’s been a game that I have enjoyed playing a lot despite the criticism that it has received from many, many people. What’s more, there are many structural things that are incorporated into the game that take on a very universal and astronautical appearance—almost a…modern retro-futuristic look.

The video above is a showcase of the outfits (not armor/spacesuits, though you will find some stats on some outifts) found in the game. Some of my favorite designs come from Ryujin Industries; my go-to base game outfit, however, is the White Neocity Poncho, for no reason other than it looks nice when worn on my own character.

There are still some current day influences to the way that some of these outfits look (e.g. the Freestar Rangers outfit look more western and have a “cowboy” flair, but still fit within the universe of having that futuristic concept to it); but for the most part, many of these outfits do have many resemblance to a retro-futuristic look that I think fits well for the universe.
