All right, here we go.
-Visually it looks like other Hero Engine MMOs like SWTOR
-The general art style is kind of like RIFT or Everquest 2
Lol third person and not real time combat
Wtf are they thinking
I guess companies are somehow making a profit off these short lived MMO's. They'll probably offer lifetime subscriptions at the start too.
Who wants to bet it's back to the drawing board after this reveal? The internal email chains must be AWESOME right now...
The combat model will not be real time due to latency
I'm some what confused. Having played Dragon's Nest and Tera's beta I don't see why latency would be some great barrier for not having a combat model similar to there's. To me this conveniently sounds like an excuse to just settle with the bread and butter MMO combat model. However, I do admit I could totally be wrong. Do Nexon and EnMasse have superior server capabilities or use some sort of technology that renders this issue irrelevant? Because having played both I haven't had a issue with attacking NPCs (except for patch days).
Haha pretty funny. But we all know why they did it obviously, and it wasn't for geographic accuracy.The marketing team fails too:
Hero Engine, dude. It's crap.
I have no clue what that is, but it would have been interesting to fight upclose in Skyrim.
This has to be one of the most uniformly negative responses I've seen around here. Not that negativity is rare or anything, but there are almost always a few "haters gon' hate" or "you guys haven't even played it yet!" type responses, but not in this case.
Except the Vita's aiming for a niche that may be too small (or IS large enough but needs strong games to be taken seriously), this seems to be going for the opposite in that it's aiming for a large group that's already catered to just fine, rather than a small group that wants a certain twist; Vita for physical controls on a touch device and/or a portable console-esque experience, and my ideal ES MMO being more like the single player games but online with only the compromises necessary to make for a good massively multiplayer game.Well, if you're a fan of ES, you're disgusted.
If you're not a fan of ES, you don't care, and dismiss it out-of-hand as being another "me too" MMO along the lines of Rift or D&D Online.
Like the Vita, nobody asked for this, nobody wants it, and it's going to die a swift death in a fetid pit of its own putrescence.

If you'd shown me this screenshot and asked me to guess what it came from, I would never have guessed it was an Elder Scrolls game.
So it won't be patched? Oh the humanity
This has to be one of the most universally panned reveals for a big name franchise in a looooong time.
Hell FFXIV had a way more positive reception when it was announced.
And FFXIV had two things for it: precedent, and actually sounding like it might've been interesting. The first blunted the backlash a little bit, but the latter made it even more deeply disappointing. Who knows how 2.0 will be.They could've made it interesting. They chose not to.
Action, reaction.
That screen is hilarious.
I bet someone at Zenimax is having a bad weekend now.

The scope also means that each area is going to be disappointingly small. It'll be lovely when you cross the entirety of Vvardenfell in ten minutes.
e: ideally it would've been set in the ashes of Vvardenfell and the three factions would've been the houses Hlaalu, Telvanni, and Redoran, but no, they had to make this junk.
Come on, you don't want to see the Argonians, Dunmers and Nords fighting together, hand in hand, just like it used to be?
From what I see, many of you guys aren't so happy about this new announcement.
Maybe they should start go with another Fallout or better yet Skyrim 2.
I don't think this is being developed by the same team that made Skyrim (Bethesda is a part of ZeniMax, but I'm not sure how that works).
Bethesda Game Studios, Zenimax Online, Arkane Studios and others are all developers that are owned by Zenimax media. Bethesda Softworks (which is a publisher) is also owned by Zenimax Media (and is probably publishing this game).
I think an Elders Scrolls game that you could play online with other people would be great. This doesn't seem to be that game. Maybe someday.
Bethesda Softworks is the one that published Brink, RAGE and is going to publish Dishonored right?
ahahahahahahahahahah
Especially the quest: Yes, My Thane - Carry 22 Burdens
My opinion about this project is already available a few pages before (and it's rather negative), but it would be cool to avoid the doom predictions, at least the ones that nearly WISH the title to bomb and the hundred of people living from it being fired
Let's try to be constructive, even if it's hard considering ESO is developed since what, 4 or 5 years, so the chances to see drastic changes (like integration of player housing/towns) following the feedback and the general reception of the community will surely be small.
Imagine what could have been accomplished if they had devoted those 250 people towards Bethesda Studios projects for the past 5 years. We could have had another Fallout and another ES game selling like hotcakes. Instead we have a DOA WoW clone.
