V.A.T.S. ?

[jbarry39]

Any info if this will contain VATS-Style combat like in Fallout 4?

[PT-Desu]

I don't think it will have any VATS at all, thats a Fallout thing.
However, we saw indication that we will have some sort of "power" probably connected to the artifacts, but its all guessing as of now

[Tenoshii]

No, it won't be like Fallout 4.

i would not count on it, VATS is a very fallout specific thing, it basically only exists because the original fallout games had turn based combat.

i personally like VATS though, it gives you some nice cinematic views/kill cams from time to time.

i also would like fallout 4 style power armor to be included in starfield but i dont think that it will be.

It did have systems targeting in dog fights, which is essentially V.A.T.S., but it looked like it still required the trigger pull. Outside of dog fights, who knows.

why would it have vats? it's not a fallout game

I was curious about some sort of killcam as well

None whatsoever. And happy for that.

Tho in reality, nobody puts a gun to player's head to use VATS, so easily ignored if something similar is put in... But there won't be...

I noticed when they targeted sub systems on the ship the game play may have slowed down a bit. Seemed like a game mechanic slow down that assist the gamer in targeting sub systems which I actually like if it does that.

Yeah now that you meantion it
its pretty much VATS without the time slow effect and the points system

its essencially a system to target specific parts of a ship

Starfield is unique and special and although it is based on a mixture of previous games and some new things they cannot do the same.
I'm sure we'll all enjoy Starfield, each in their own way.

If there were some flavor of VATS for personal combat, I am certain they would have shown it in the direct video. Since they didn't, pretty sure there isn't anything there.

Yes, we all agree with that, but have to wonder, they showed the 'psionics' at the end for just a second or two, so maybe still hope for those that want something like that? Maybe just a visual slow down like the ship-2-ship.

Nobody knows because we’ve only seen snippets of combat so you’ll only get assumptions. But please get your preorder in, Todd has five kids to feed

[Mathias Giovanni]

I hope for ship combat it has slowdowns when using systems and setting them. It’s a bit much to use all the functions effectively when in space combat.

Vat's / Time Slow, it's very similar at the end of the day.

So yes / no.
