According to composer Inon Zur, the audience is not yet ready for the genius of Starfield as a visionary work. However, Zur believes that the game will one day be considered legendary.
Next week, we’ll learn more about the future of Bethesda’s space RPG Starfield.
A PlayStation 5 version is coming soon, and another major update with a number of changes is expected. Admittedly, gamers aren’t particularly excited – it’s been two and a half years since the original launch of the game and many have written it off as something that won’t get a second chance.
However, not the author of the music for Starfield, famous composer Inon Zur. In a recent interview, he defended the game and practically blamed the players for not understanding the genius of Starfield. Zur stated the following:
“When Starfield came out, I believe that people they just weren’t ready for that game. It’s a different way of looking at things, but Todd [Howard] is really tough and he very casually said, ‘Look, if you don’t like it, then you don’t like it, but this is a new thing that we’re doing and we’re going to stick with it.’ He believes in his path, and it has been shown time and time again that people will understand his vision over time. It just takes time and that is a common thing for great visionaries. Sometimes people just don’t understand them the right way, but they are strong enough to believe in what they do. Starfield will one day become something legendary. I don’t doubt that at all. It’s only a matter of time.”
Looking at Starfield’s user ratings on Steam, player opinion is very divided. Out of 170 thousand user reviews, 74 thousand of them do not recommend playing Starfield.
