"Starfield's Fast Travel Dilutes the Grandeur of Space"
The fast travel feature in Bethesda's upcoming game Starfield trivializes interstellar travel and diminishes the immersive experience of exploring space. Opting for manual gravjumping, which allows for encounters and incidents along the way, enhances the sense of exploration and makes the vast cosmos feel less lonely. Fast travel compresses space and skips landing and takeoff animations, creating an isolating feeling and reminding players that they are in a video game.
