40 minutes of Skyrimjob at Quakecon

It does a lot like Oblivion. Look at how enemies slide back when you hit them, or how they shine when you cast a spell on them. Just two minor details I noticed that look exactly like In sweet Oblivion.

 

[Menckenstein]

So looks like this with settle somewhere betwee Morrowind and Oblivion as far as enjoyment goes. That's a huge gap BTW.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

So looks like this with settle somewhere between Morrowind and Oblivion

the perfect balance for hardcore roleplayers who enjoy morrowind and the people who got started in rpgs with oblivion

I noticed the glow when on fire too, but that's hardly enough to say it looks like Oblivion. I played a shitload of Vanilla Oblivion and this is way, way above it. The animations are pretty good this time around, though the xbox's shitty frame rate still makes them look bad. I think that for the future they should focus more on improving frame rate than on pretty scenery that has no actual effect on gameplay.

And somehow, it's only Bethesda who suffers from XBox's shitty frame rate regarding animations, as there are plenty of beautifully animated games out there.

Downloaded, but I couldn't get past the annoying commentary and fans. Stopped watching after 5 minutes (skipped the intro). Looks like a prettier version of Oblivion and not much else. Combining spells is cool. Uh, there are shadows and the animation doesn't suck?

God dammit, are other PC gamers really like that? I feel fucking embarrassed.

It's not. I bought the 360 version of Divinity and the animations look a lot shittier than Skyrim.

as there are plenty of beautifully animated games out there.

Skyrim animations look just fine when processing power doesn't matter:

The same applies to the video at the beginning too, when he's just walking around and for some of the less intensive fights.

 

[Menckenstein]

That wolf's running animation is probably better than any single animation in Oblivion.

 

[asper]

Sounds like Oblivion.... Why would anyone want that?

 

[Metro]

Game of the Year!

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.

The first dungeon in Oblivion (Ayelid ruin across the lake) was a lot more varied and interesting than most of the other dungeons in the game. I'm sure the rest of Skyrim's dungeons will be total shit.

Vilverin (the dungeon you're referring to) was more interesting due to bits of lore laying around (IIRC a necromancer was hiding there) but not more varied as far as environment is concerned. It was pretty much the standard ayleid ruin tileset.

 

[His Dudeness]

The video was unbearable, who can get that exited about a videogame .

All in all, it's the same as always from bethesda.

No concept of class or subtlety, the ready spell animation looks over the top and unnecesary. Combat is still the weakest point of the series.

Graphics could be better, since they are capped to work on old hardware.

The end product will be even worse, since all that is shown and scripted won't work correctly.

Gamers in general are like that, regardless of Platform.

PC gamers seem to have the perception that they're above such behaviour for some reason though.

This gamespy article has some interesting tidbits: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/elder-scrolls-v/1186740p1.html

Personally I'm kinda heartened by this info. The bit about the courier and the prisoner make it sound like Bethesda is actually trying to populate the countryside with interesting events and encounters, rather than just a shitload of free roaming imps.

 

[Mastermind]

I still can't believe they wasted a skill on pickpocketing. I'm hoping they actually did something with it in terms of quest content, but other than that it seems like an odd choice.

(As a quick aside, the player to my left thought "hide armor" was an option to have your character appear in street clothes instead of battle armor. So when she chose the various pieces of hide armor, she was apparently confused that her character wasn't more naked. Todd Howard graciously acknowledged that the ambiguity was Bethesda's fault, and not hers.)

 

[dextermorgan]

Catering to morons, great.

 

[someone else]

So they have hide armour as well as leather or did they just rename it?

 

[Excidium]

It's probably the weakest light armor.

 

[Shannow]

So now Bethesda prevents sluts from running around naked. Their sins know no ends.

 

[Exmit]

LOOKS DECENT BROS , I'M SURE I WILL HAVE 300 HOURS OF FUN ON MY XBOX AS TODD PROMISED

Mods will fix it

 

[anus_pounder]

Skyrim : New....errr..Vegas. I would probably play an obsidian made skyrim expansion. Though I don't see why beth would let obsidian make a skyrim expansion. (or why obsidian would want to)

 

[Mastermind]

I don't see why beth would let Fagellone anywhere near TES either. They'd have to have truly gone full retard.

 

[Trash]

Actually watched the entire video right now. Which is pretty fucking stupid of me considering I don't have the faintest interest in this game. Ah, sweet procastrination. Anyway, it's just as I expected. Oblivion 2.0. A pretty hiking simulator with crap animations and frankly pretty shit combat. Interface also looks lame and world interaction has still not gone much beyond what it was in Morrowind. Meh, meh, meh. At least communication with npc's seems to be a bit more involved than the walking encyclopedias that were in the previous ES games.

Do like the worldmap. Got to hand it to them, that thing looks neat.


PS: People who yell and scream during these kind of things should be gassed. Fucking Christ, what a retard monkeys.

This is...

This... this...



No, I just cannot comment on that with a coherent sentence. It's just too retarded.
