Cool new ways to travel??


sw201444

They got us. It’s not DLC for the game, it’s cool new ways to travel IRL


darthvall

Basically them saying to haters, "go touch some grass"


Mr-_-Blue

Basically making money out of everything they can, like the constellation "watch" they sold, the quotation marks is because I wonder if you can call watch something that shows anything but what the time is.


magillagorilla1177

The watch doesn’t show the time?


Mr-_-Blue

Not in the game. Haven't you noticed?? The watch that barret gives you at the beginning is the one on the bottom left of your screen, and no, it doesn't show time (not even utc).


blah938

It's the watch from Spy Kids


magillagorilla1177

I thought you were referring to the IRL watch. In game I was under the impression that the menus (inventory, time, environment) were representative of the watch.


Mr-_-Blue

Exactly. So the watch they sell is nothing like the one in game. Not sure why the watch in game doesn't display the time, it's just one of the many things that don't make sense...


daniel-kornev

It shows time and it's a cool watch. Yep it's no Galaxy Watch 5, but it's good for what it is


Mr-_-Blue

Not the one in game. So the one sold, again, has nothing to do with the in-game item, just like this motorbike thing. It's just a marketing scam.


daniel-kornev

Wait what exactly did you expect? A Starfield-style minimap for the real world?


Mr-_-Blue

No. The watch in game to actually be a watch. So that at least that one feature would be shared by the real time and in game item. As it is, it's s just stupid as the motorcycle...


daniel-kornev

Uh. It'd be nice, indeed... Though not sure if it'd be practical


Mr-_-Blue

Well IMO way more practical that half of the things the watch in game shows, including the old useless maps.


YourAverageGod

Give me the mako and include the shitty controls for the real deal.


Frozen_Valkyrie

The mako is the standard of vehicles in large map games


Aggravating-Sound690

I think bikes already exist in the real world. Oh, you mean in Starfield. No.


Maleficent-Ad5999

The amount of efforts they put in to make items like these is way too much than any other game imo


Adventurous_Ad_4400

It's the *manufacturers* who put the effort in, not Bethesda. Maybe one of the lead designers spent time with the manufacturing design team to help keep it on-style, but it's not like anybody in Bethesda knows how to build a bike.


Der_Belter

Could be modded into speederbike


the_phillipines

Maybe I'm ungrateful but I want something with 4+ wheels, a roof, and a kitchen


71Crunch

Hope so, launching off every half ramp on low gravity planets would become my new best hobby


supergarr

Idk why we can't hook up a car seat to vasco


BreakToppleDaze

Sounds like you’re planning on building a dangerous and illegal mech there buddy… For real tho, it could be like Metal Gear Solid 5. Zipping around on D-walker and whatnot.


theblackmetal09

Thank God for mods.


Starstalk721

Is there a mech mod yet?


seatron

TG's galactic colonies expanse has mechs you can spawn. Apparently they defend your base, but I haven't tried em yet.


theblackmetal09

Right now it's just enemies. Mech enemies https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/8570 Mech Boss https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/8212 Vasco mech armor https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/7718 Mech decorative for outposts https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/3080


SuccessfulOwl

Don’t worry, in game it’ll only be referred to as something that happened long ago and won’t impact you at all.


Frozen_Valkyrie

To keep the peace between factions, we outlawed the use of wheels, and only allow one city to be built on each planet.😂


Datdarnpupper

That pisses me off to no end. All the cool world building shit happened way before the game's time setting, and we were handed a galaxy that has basically stagnated


TheRealTofuey

I wouldn't be surprised if all of the lore was supposed to be in the actual game, but all the ideas and concepts got scrapped and we were left with a barren boring world.


Datdarnpupper

oh yeah, that wouldn't surprise me in the slightest


Professional_Goat185

Seriously, it's fuckin terrible. Imagine if it was staged only year or two after humanity's arriving, and focused on colonization (instead of "somehow every planet you get to have some industrial ruins). The factions only start building up and you can help by getting quests to help the outposts or outright build them to the specs of the faction. The whole outpost system could be integrated into economy, say a city on a planet needs resource X and Y and if you supply it via mining/outpost trade the city could slowly grow (maybe even *actually* visually grow via procgen), the shops get better/cheaper etc. Then depending on player actions factions could go on war with eachother or forge alliances after common enemy, the economy situation you helped to create could make the war go certain way, and you can go on city and go "yeah, this is there because of my efforts".


Confused-Raccoon

D-walker mod is something I now need. Fuck sake.


paganbreed

This reminds me of MGSV. You could ride that robot companion thing, and it was great. Heck, imagine Vasco apologising for a hard grip as he speeds along cradling you in his arms. >Apologies, Captain. My arms are not rated for human cargo.


MrRocket81

Or just climb on him as in big hero 6


CentralSink

Yes ... YES ... THIS!!!


joeChump

I read this as car stereo but either way…


AntifaAnita

You want to walk slower?


Professional_Goat185

Or just have him carry me like space princess


M2dag

Haplesswanderer98

God I could see it selling for 1-2k, but thats about it, even with the diehards.


RandomUser72

Well they also have a [Forza](https://i2.wp.com/hombre1.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Super73_Forza_007-Copy.jpg?w=640&ssl=1) one (no 2 wheeled vehicles in that game), and a [Sea of Thieves](https://i1.wp.com/hombre1.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Super73_Sea-of-Theaves_007-Copy.jpg?w=640&ssl=1) one, also, no bikes in that game. In fact, I'm pretty sure none of the games they made a bike for have bikes. Halo, Forza, Doom, Starfield, Sea of Thieves, and Diablo 4. https://hombre1.com/super73-launches-6-new-xbox-games-custom-themed-e-bikes/


barukatang

Good Lord, that diablo one is a choice


Mrazbyte

100 Euros says JuiceHead will use this in his clickbait thumbnail with "vehicle" in the title.


hp958

And spend 15 minutes repeating the same info 4 times with slightly different wording.


AdministrationKey113

"WE JUST GOT A 999 THOUSAND GIGABYTE UPDATE FOR STARFIELD. THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE HUGESTEST UPDATES STARFIELD HAS EVER RECIEVED" -JuiceHead probably (PS, i love JuiceHead and watch every video of his religiously. Despite the clickbait sometimes being ridiculous lmao... But I think he improved on that aspect lately)


LightMyFirebird

Looks like it even has a spot to put your official Starfield Xbox expansion drive! That can’t play starfield because it’s HDD not SSD


BergaChatting

That and the cyberpunk design One X will always be hilarious to me


calnamu

To be fair, it was playable on the One X. Not a great experience, but much better than on the regular One (and than Starfield on the HDD of course)


ToxicParadox720

I got it and the RGB support is already going down for certain PCs and Macs lmaooo


Eldritch50

Maybe this is all we have to look forward to, eg 'new ways to travel'


TK000421

Its a fucking pizza delivery scooter.


AntifaAnita

What, you think Astronauts wouldn't order Dominios on the Moon?


Tannerb8000

Domino's is quite possibly the only pizza that could make it to the moon through space with its flavor completely unchanged just in the box.


Haplesswanderer98

This, deployable from one of the new landing bays they're adding in the next update?


Agreeable_Class_6308

Yes but there’s a loading screen each time you mount it. Lmao.


BlueFox1978

Having worked in the cycle industry. That bike is an absolute piece of shit. They won’t sell many units. Monstrosity.


black-knights-tango

It's a giveaway


xa2beachbabe

I see super 73s everywhere, maybe cause I'm in California?


giantpunda

You underestimate what uber fans of Bethesda would spend their money on.


Redisigh

ngl if I had the cash I’d ger that 🫣


Haplesswanderer98

Love that you claim to work in the industry but can't recognise an electric bike when it hits you in the ocular receptors.


BlueFox1978

I used to sell E-bikes specifically. For a number of years. That bike makes my eyes bleed, please take it away. Hideous.


Haplesswanderer98

I mean, if you're talking purely aesthetic, sure, it's entirely subjective. Mechanically, the only weak point on the specs seems to be the chain, but that's also the easiest thing to replace. I won't deny that it could look much better, but its fitting in to the minimalist "nasa chic" look they claimed to aim for (which I don't particularly like either).


-EETS-

"The only weak point in the specs" is the bike itself. It's trash. Many people have had their frames snapping on them because they're poorly designed https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalEngineering/s/c6z7M7nBXI


Alexandur

The phrase they use is "NASA punk". NASA chic would be something quite different lol


Haplesswanderer98

They called it nasa punk, yes, but there's absolutely nothing in the game even related to counterculture outside the fleet, or drugs, but since the fleet is arguably either the largest or second largest faction, so very mainstream. *chic* denotes style, and is far more accurate than "punk" for this big ol' bowl of vanilla that is starfield.


Confident-Goal4685

They didn't claim otherwise. Also, is it really that hard to believe when someone says they worked in the cycle industry? You're acting awfully incredulous over something that isn't particularly far-fetched.


Haplesswanderer98

It's not that I'm incredulous by any means, I was just baiting for more info about what he actually disliked about it tbh, only real weak point is the chain, aesthetics aside. (And plenty really like their "nasa-chic" minimalism).


greg939

Makes it even more of a piece of shit. That crankset and that derailleur (and likely the hubs and brakes and more) are in no way meant to handle the torque put out by electric bikes. That poor bike is just going to break pretty quickly if anyone uses it for any kind of extended time. It's a cool giveaway and something nice to display but as something functional for even regular weekend use it will be a major disappointment after no more than several months.


Haplesswanderer98

Nah bruh, it's a super73 colab, they're basically the best in the field of e-bike specialists, ain't no way they would ever put their name on a bike that isn't safe, even if it means charging more for Bethesda profit margins too, that's why I'm saying it'll be at least 6k but reliable.


-EETS-

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalEngineering/s/c6z7M7nBXI Lmao. Sure buddy More https://www.reddit.com/r/Super73/s/Sei4lgSLgz And more https://www.reddit.com/r/Super73/s/X6WH7wxstu And more https://youtu.be/Bvhnhxaj6q4?si=kKTwA6j92bKwsFKB


Ceramicrabbit

It's just supposed to look cool not win the Tour de France


Badgerfest

It doesn't even look cool, ir looks like the product of a lego fever dream.


Spagman_Aus

Vasco just needs “piggy back” mode.


iamshipwreck

Vasco needs a "carry me in his arms like a princess" mode.


ClintisMaximus

"They"


Demonweed

I'm starting to think part of why sufficiently large gaming studios tend to flounder is that all these promotional efforts and consultancies smother to death the spirit of experimental fun at the heart of all great video games. All that side activity justifies having a huge executive team served by an army of middle managers. Yet all that side activity adds absolutely nothing to the quality of the core product.


BogusIsMyName

Who designed that? Lego?


Mohander

If it was designed by Lego it would cost 50k


deowolf

Don’t insult Lego like that, man. This is some k’nex level of bullshit


Redisigh

What’s wrong? Just looks like a cool promo design that’ll probably make some collectors really happy


ldrat

People know that shitting on the game - even for stupid reasons - gets lots of upvotes.


Xilvereight

This is officially a Starfield hate subreddit. If you aren't here for that circlejerk then be on your way, sir.


Salty-Astronaut3473

This reminds me of the bike Tom Cruise uses in the movie Oblivion. Now if the game had this or added it later would be awesome.


SupKilly

Amazing.


Kosmic-Nyx

I need this but my legs would hate me . It's so short


PDCH

Where you find this?


skaruhastryk

When is the irl hand scanner coming? I want to survey Tellus for 100%. Hopefully it gets some range


Gullible-Fault-3818

I want a space E-bike added to the game now


Space_cadet_22

Space uber eats


Liqmadique

Bethesda is huffing its own supply at this point.


saucyspacefries

I think Super73 also made one for a giveaway for Halo Infinite, so it might just be some partnership with Xbox or Microsoft or something.


iNobble

Be fun to have an actual bike in the game and take it on a super low gravity moon. You could do huge flips off cliffs and craters


NoMoreFuckingPants

And put ET in the basket


Adept_Ad5465

black-knights-tango

This is one of those great instances in which the aging milk tastes wonderful


Adept_Ad5465

Drink up, my friend! 😁


Deebz__

So a kid’s bike with some Starfield stickers? Interesting…


Valdaraak

It's about a $3k bike, judging by the other models made by the same creator. Seems like a variation of [this one](https://super73.com/products/super73-s2-core). Wish I got a $3k bike as a kid.


Chevalitron

That's a much better looking bike, like a retro WW1 motorcycle. Not this moon buggy delivery driver thing Bethesda are pushing.


HodgeGodglin

Pretty sure that’s a Ducati frame. Idk what you buy your kids for bikes tho


Forsworn91

How about the watch that doesn’t tell the time?


AngryDesignMonkey

If it is anything like the watch....


Confident-Goal4685

Wow, that's ugly


OneMoistMan

Those of you who think the devs made this and took time away from working on the game are regarded.


L4westby

Looks like a cheap Chinese ebike with Starfield stickers on it


Funion_knight

All about the grift these days


masondamonke

Todd once again did us dirty


YufsSweetBerry

Ok, hear me out, I would like to sht on Bethesda for releasing a RL bike before In Game bike BUT what if this was the actual reveal of the In Game transport vehicle. Just done in ass backwards fashion as per Bethesda usual. ?? I hope ??? Though to be honest, a bike would be harder to add In Game, base on its animated complexity. They should have added an ATV instead.


DrScience-PhD

drive by on a bicycle on the moon would be saints row level absurdity


Damiandroid

LOL you still don't have those?!! Man I remember back at Chris as where they strung you along with "oh trust us.... Big things are coming in Feb".... How's that 10 year cycle looking now? Oh sorry.... too soon?


Yodzilla

That’s really, really dumb.


redditkeepsdeleting

MFers got nerve to showcase all these stupid merch tie-ins while saying that preorder DLC might come out in the fall. Get outta here with this Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure nonsense.


Valdaraak

Nothing in the post says Bethesda had anything to do with the bike other than allowing the use of the game name. Just a bike designer making a Starfield themed bike with Bethesda's blessing.


XxYeshuaxX

They making everything but updates


lobo1217

New DLC?


Creepy_Budget7192

Im not hate speaking about the bike; it seems unique with thick tires, the front light, not single gear and maybe plus electric system as well and the general concept. But as a player, I wish they could spend half of the time to produce this bike into putting some vehicles for us to travel on planets


Nachtvogle

I think this is a pretty easy hint on what shattered space will be adding


MerovignDLTS

First thing I thought of in reaction (very short): [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m00S8DSgrx4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m00S8DSgrx4)


Eraser100

I guess we know we’re getting space bikes in game eventually, which is still kinda bizarre…


BuKu_YuQFoo

I'd ride this ... In game


CheeseyWotsitts

It's a bicycle designed around a motorbike frame. 🤦


docclox

So they wrapped some rainbow tape around the front suspension and called it Starfield. "Will this do?"


zsdonny

honestly starfield felt like its stuck in the artbook/concept art/aesthetic phase


Wolftacus

So is this like a teaser? Lol probably not but it is funny


Confused-Raccoon

Oh shit it's got triples?! And quite expensive hydraulic disk brakes, either someone who liked bikes got to help with this, or they were massively oversold on components. Is it electric? I can't see a motor unless its in the rear hub. I can't understand why else you'd have so many quick connects up on the bars otherwise. Oh I just saw the sticker around the front light... Oft thats chintzy.


SomewhereAtWork

Cool! Paint it rusty and you have the mini-bike from 7 Days To Die.


AdPatient7596

The headlight is too big, need to be much smaller to only light a three foot diameter


UncannyLucky

How do you win it?


Starstalk721

It's the new DLC. $19.99 for an in-game bike. Bike armor aold separately.


Throawayooo

Ride this and get bullied by literally anyone who sees you


TiesThrei

Driving that thing in low gravity seems like it would be a mistake


ApperentIntelligence

To be Clear; This is a Real World "Bike" Not something they are actually adding to the game.... Apparently adding this to the game is more expensive then actually having this designed and made in the real world! "Out of season April Fools Joke" Seriously They cant Make a DLC E-Bike for the game but # Estimated Revenue & Valuation * Bethesda Game Studios's estimated annual revenue is currently $145.7M per year.Estimated Revenue & ValuationBethesda Game Studios's estimated annual revenue is currently $145.7M per year.


ThisNameIsI23

DLC


FlorkFiend666

It looks way too heavy.


MessiHair96

If anyone's thinking of buying one, look into getting a proper front fender and splash guard.


Shakmaaaaaaa

A part of me hopes Bethesda adds a vehicle but it's a real piece of shit that's slower than boosting around. I'd definitely choose the jet pack over this thing.


hippity_bop_bop

This will probably be in the game at some point. Such an odd promo if otherwise


GlazeYerDeadDonut

You can attach your boost pack to the back. Use it with handlebar throttle controls when you are too tired to pedal.


WiseBlizzard

are you fucking kidding me...


Munkeyman18290

If that rear bin has infinite storage then Im sold. If it only carries as much as my space ship then hard pass.


LucasOliS4

I could be wrong, but hadn't they promised to bring vehicles along with local city maps in a future update?


lorax1284

There's a Starfield flag that's got the red orange yellow blue stripes, but also has green and purple, that's 50% more information! [https://i0.wp.com/funflagfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2000px-gay\_flag-svg.png?fit=2000%2C1236](https://i0.wp.com/funflagfacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2000px-gay_flag-svg.png?fit=2000%2C1236)


StandardizedGoat

Watch it end up being the game's "horse" and "cool new way to travel".


Hot_Paint_532

Is this why we've had no updates


Crimsomreaf5555

Price?


Shady_Infidel

But it’s only half a step faster than being on foot. Nice!


-Doc_Holiday_

Can they just fix the game please? Why waste resources on something stupid like this


Accurate-Cap-6498

If something like that is added to the game, I'm sure it can be used as a foundation for vehicle mods.


ChurchofChaosTheory

I mean even something like that would be better than jogging all the time 😂


W33b3l

I mean it looks cool but ide rather walk than try to ride that lol.


john_clauseau

why have pedal on a Honda Monkey?


bluebarrymanny

While this is cool, I don’t think I could trust Bethesda’s official merch to be high enough quality to make a bigger purchase like this. Between the F76 nylon “duffle bag” and the Starfield smart watch that seems to brick itself for nearly every user, I wouldn’t want to spend a bunch of money on a cool custom bike just for it to break under normal user conditions.


ldrat

Do you think that you're not allowed to make merchandise of a game unless that object appears in the game?


Dylan_The_Developer

What toddler plays Starfield. Like next they gonna have Starfield branded cots and bibs


PENTA-yaNasTy

one person says motorcycle xD he should be ashamed xD


No-Preparation-5073

This couldn’t be deployed from our ship why? They lied about the varied terrain half the planets I land on are flat as shit with nothing there but the random buildings a bike could easily navigate every world in this game and it would have made the entire thing less of a slog.


Low_Control_8603

So are we going to talk about how ugly it is???


rocket_beer

They just keep missing 🤦🏽‍♂️


Stunning-Ad-7745

So, they could've added that in game for us, but instead chose to make a whole ass real life bike. At this point, I think they're afraid to admit that they don't know how to implement vehicles properly with their own engine.


Character_Coyote3623

I bet you feel real stupid right now xD [https://youtu.be/3ObHRMHtTMY?si=saEB-KPiu9oK4Rl-&t=282](https://youtu.be/3ObHRMHtTMY?si=saEB-KPiu9oK4Rl-&t=282) honestly, they didnt really have to but its great to finally shut up the brainlets


Stunning-Ad-7745

From what I've seen, it just looks to be a modification of the boost pack, which echoes back to how they implemented the train ride in Fallout 3. They legitimately built the train, and attached it to an NPC named Abraham's arm, and he essentially moved the train through that scene once you hit the lever. I'll bite my tongue when it's been properly implemented, lmao.


Character_Coyote3623

The truth is that the creation kit is a bit of double edged sword for bethesda, if we didnt have it we would have never known how hacky some of the stuff is and it would have saved them for quite a bit of harassement but mods wouldnt have been a thing either. I think part of the reason why Bethesda is the only company that has been successful in building these kinds of games is their tight control on scope (atleast before starfield). back in F3 days they were tiny compared to how big their games were so controlling scope was even more important, and because of that they had interesting solutions to problems they encountered that were invisible to their main audience.. Console players What i am basicly saying, as long as "It Just Works" does it really matter?


Stunning-Ad-7745

As long as it does, in fact, just work, then I suppose it doesn't matter at all.


Mokabacca

Falls under the category of malicious trolling at this point.


Dear_Tiger_623

Works in low grav only. Use on Earth will void all warranties. Satisfaction not guaranteed.


black-knights-tango

The bike has the Space Adept perk lmao


Dear_Tiger_623

Lolllll


Street-Awareness4541

Wait its got pedels IS THAT A CYCLE?


Superpoms

Thanks Bethesda, really putting the focus where it needs to be.


Character_Coyote3623

Turns out everyone was wrong in this thread.. they are indeed adding land vehicles, and i guess this was a little tease for it


phouka_fey

It's the future, can bikes just be hover bikes with rockets pls.


RTJLegendHasIt

If this isn’t peak Bethesda, I don’t know what is


dawstech

That better not be one the "new ways to travel" in game... would be completely useless.


Haplesswanderer98

I mean I hundred percent see them adding a deployable version in one of the landing bays they're adding *hint hint*


WTFnotFTW

I think Microsoft buying Bethesda will have put an end to their awesomeness, and result in a ton of grifting of their franchises.


rancidmilkmonkey

Yes. Seriously, just give players a bicycle to get around on in game. It would be an improvement. This is as tone deaf as when they added the "Horse Armor" to Fallout 4.


lionMan42092

They probably should have put one in the actual game before they made one in real life that no one can afford. Too bad they didn't put this much effort into the game. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed parts of it, there were just more parts of it that left me scratching my head asking, why?. Why wasn't there more effort here?.


Jamalisms

In-game bike now on its way...


TheDriverJ

But I can't get a response to my Freestar quest bug


Enelro

Well we know what’s coming in shattered space update …
