"Enjoy" this video before Zenimax wakes up. The crowd alternates between cheering whenever anything happens at all and booing because it runs on consoles rather than the PC.

Since the video is already dead (Omae wa mo shindeiru), might as well post the stuff from my thread that got retardoed by a certain moderator that enjoys the company of men.

Not sure wtf is going on since I didn't bother with Skyrim vids until now, but...I'm watching a 38 min video from Quakecon 2011, with Todd showing Skyrim gameplay to the public. Apparently it's from today, but as I tried to copy the link to another window it says Zenimax took it out of Youtube while I was watching it. It's still loading here, though, since I opened the link on MSN.

Torrent for the 360p version - consider it a backup for now since my U/L is only a dreadful 1MB.

I actually think the world design looks pretty decent...

"Please don't record the demo."

lol.

Looks like Oblivion.
Todd sounds like a gnome.
Even on the 360, some textures still pop in.
Still too many wolves. Are there no rabbits for them to eat? Why are they so man-hungry?
Todd was unwilling to show how a warrior holding a sword and shield can swim in a shallow stream.
Gore spatters onto the screen in 1st person.
List inventory is shit. Modders will fix.
Cooking meat makes it more effective at meating or something.
Dark Brotherhood confirmed.
Derpy crowd ooohs and ahhhs at the Heavan Background and constellation-based skill trees.
"Biggest game we've ever made", followed by ~ same scale as Oblivion but with moar content.
No zooming on dialogs. Yay.
Any NPC job can be done by the player (lumber mill... lumberjacks are retardedly strong).
Horse riding is in. Still waiting for word on horse armor.
Saw the tallest mountain in the world. Can probably climb it in 3 minutes.
etc.

I don't get why people are complaining about the crowd. Todd is trying really hard to stay on a preplanned course and they just want him to do do interesting stuff.

Todd: *aims at bandit*

Crowd: GO FOR A HEADSHOT!

Todd: *shoots bandit at chest, proceeds to talk about how you can get meat from the roasted rat*


Yeah, they get way too excited about minor shit, but that's better than the usual silent worshipping.

No, just no. I haven't "nerdgasmed" since I was an idiotic teenager and even then, never to such an embarrassing extent.

:roll:

Imma so cool an' mature an' shit. Now shut up while I watch my videogame news

edit: When Todd walks past the woman, some guy in the background yells "RAPE!" :lol:

Also, the demo obviously IS fairly heavily scripted. The bit with the mammoths/giants/dragon snatching up a giant was shown elsewhere (Trailer, maybe? Don't remember) almost exactly. While scripted demos make sense, I assume everyone remembers the radiant AI demo before Oblivion launched.

Pfft Americans. "Kill it" "Kill this" "Rape her" "Kill the dog". I really hope that PC interface will be completely different.

90% of the demo was shown elsewhere. It's probably their prefab marketing area.

Some guy on neogaf mentioned that Todd said they made sure dragons would appear for the demo. Considering how adamant Todd was about staying on rails, that seems likely. "Er, sorry guise, can't show you the dragon because a skeleton spawned in its place :("

He already said dragons will be random enemies like any other, its not like they still need to pretend encountering a dragon will be a big event.

Maybe the reason for the shift in "RPGs": content<stuff to kill in awesome ways

kinda shitty video, stopped halfway and then the sound jumped ahead.

anyway, most of it looked railroaded (the start and the giant/dragon fight.) and the sawmill guy will prob not be able to use his back anymore if he keeps doing that, but otherwise it looked ok except the UI and menus, why should i be able to zoom in on a carrot?

hopefully modders will fix things, like dragon encounters and guilds.

Oblivion, minus some colors in the palette to make it look more grimdark.

About 8 meters beneath sea level.
Oblivion with the reintroduction and renaming of cliff racers into dragons. Despite surroundings looking like it might make a rather pretty hiking sim the animations are once again a serious weak point.

The dungeon design was way, way better than Oblivion or Morrowind. It was strange how it transitioned from area theme to area theme (bandit area - spider lair - catacomb - ancient ruin) but that could be for the demo, or it could be that particular dungeon. They used space well and there were interesting things and paths everywhere. They definitely weren't randomly generated.

I wonder why they dont show their glorious raidant story in action :smug:
Shitty AI and aniamtions (better than oblivion but still shit), enemies sliding instead of walking,
too much dragons, shitty low poly models (that sones) blury textures, only particle effects and spells hwere not that bad, o yea and UI is bad too much digging, where in Morrowind you had all your menus on one screen, o yeah and the audience where like monkeys in the zoo (or i'd just say typical american console crowd, RAPE, KILL, JUMP, WATER)

Rolling in money and still utterly incompetent. They have the means to fix these problems that have been there since Morrowind and they haven't changed a thing.

I just don't understand Bethesda

who cares how the game will look like, it's just an engine with construction set to make furry sex modules.
