Star Wars Genesis – the mod’s that better than the game (YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the most ambitious fan projects ever has transformed Starfield<\/a> into a massive Star Wars<\/a> role-playing game that\u2019s incredibly authentic.<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s by no mean a terrible game, Starfield is a huge disappointment<\/a>, given it was the long-awaited new release from the creators of The Elder Scrolls<\/a> and Fallout<\/a> 4. Outdated, under-designed, and with some really odd gameplay decisions, up until now it\u2019s not even had the benefit of a thriving mod community.<\/p>\n

Compared to Bethesda<\/a>\u2019s other games, there\u2019s been relatively little interest amongst the fan community in creating new content for the game, or so we thought. That\u2019s all been made up for now, by Star Wars Genesis: a fan-made total conversion that is completely free and considerably more impressive than the parent game.<\/p>\n

Starfield obviously took quite a bit of inspiration from Star Wars, as well as dozens of other sci-fi series, so it\u2019s not as if everything has had to be changed, but the amount of effort that\u2019s gone into it is extraordinary, from landspeeders on Tatooine to a recreation of the Yuuzhan Vong storyline from the old expanded universe.<\/p>\n

Rather than a single entity, Genesis is what is called a modlist, bringing together different mods, big and small, by different fans and making sure they all work together.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d never even heard of it until today, when we saw it highlighted on ResetEra<\/a>, but it\u2019s already on version 8.2 and is apparently surprisingly stable.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the graphics aren\u2019t as good as the recent Star Wars Outlaws<\/a> but you\u2019ve got to remember this is fan made, and it\u2019s not as if Starfield itself was particularly accomplished in terms of its visuals.<\/p>\n
