Star Citizen is an exciting space game that places players amid the stars where they can experience immersive combat, trading, and more. Cloud Imperium hopes to offer interstellar adventures like no other online game has with Star Citizen‘s full release, and has been working to frequently update the alpha build for fans currently traversing the stars. The developer has just announced the massive upcoming Alpha 3.20 update, revealing that the patch will bring full HDR support to the game.
Star Citizen player reminds Starfield fans to be careful what they wish for with full-planet exploration
31.08.2023 - 11:21 / gamesradar.com
A Star Citizen player is pointing out to disappointed Starfield fans that planet exploration isn't all its made out to be.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Starfield's planets weren't fully explorable and open-ended, meaning you'd be placed in distinct areas on a planet, rather than have the entire thing open for exploration. Some Starfield fans were pretty disappointed by the revelation at the time, deeming this to be a downgrade from exploring open-ended planets.
One Star Citizen player, though, has pointed out that these disappointed Starfield fans shouldn't be taking the news so hard. In the Reddit post below, the player writes that, without having much to do on a planet itself, exploration quickly becomes rather boring, and even monotonous, leaving a player let down after they first reach a new planet.
"I've played Elite Dangerous and NMS - like you say, being able to land absolutely anywhere with no loading screens is really cool, but I'd much prefer the depth of having actually explorable structures and reasonable numbers of enemies, if it means giving up the 'land anywhere' stuff," writes the top-voted comment under the Reddit post.
Keep in mind that Bethesda's taking a unique approach when it comes to planet exploration. When a player lands on a procedurally generated planet, the game will render a handful of handcrafted locations for them to explore, all of which will be appropriate for the atmosphere of the planet itself.
So if you land on a rocky planet, you might find a mine, that will have been handcrafted by the development team at Bethesda. This news should at least take the sting out of reduced planet scope for players - it sure sounds like Bethesda is trying something original with the design of Starfield's planets.

Starfield Fans Have Already Discovered An Infinite Money Glitch
Bethesda has a pretty long history of releasing slightly buggy titles that have all sort of weird exploits that players can use. Starfield is admittedly a lot more polished than the studio's previous titles, but fans have already managed to find a relatively simply way to get infinite cash, and it harkens back to the good ol' days of scamming shopkeepers in Skyrim.

Diehard Starfield fan built LEGO New Atlantis, and it’s too accurate
Starfield has been officially out for less than 24 hours and one diehard Starfield fan has already spent 50 hours creating a LEGO New Atlantis, and it looks incredible. Honestly, this New Atlantis build looks like an official Starfield set released by LEGO themselves (and now I’m crossing my fingers for official LEGO Starfield sets).
