Was looking at the gifs again and just noticed this.

Thanks. ;)

Looks good. Textures and shadow resolution need a bump, but it should look killer on PC.

And I think that's Dark Brotherhood armor we see with the assassination and the Dwemer ruin.

If it's anything like Oblivion, Fallout or Dragon Age, a super high rez texture pack will be available within weeks or even days.

I'm still not 100% sure how they do it, but they do.
 
Looks sick.

The new tech they are using appears to be a MASSIVE improvement over their previous games. The most important thing I'm seeing is the advancements in terrain. The fact that terrain can be formed in much more complex fashion and create landscapes that could not exist before (that castle on the spire, for instance) is very promising. The sense of scale is so much more grandiose this time around.

Can't wait!
 
I've never been too interested in the Elder Scrolls games (even played a bit of 3 and 4).

But this trailer just sold me. I guess that's why they make them, eh?

It's hard to get interested in Elder Scrolls games if you just play a bit of them. It takes like 5-10 hours to get into Oblivion, and twice that to get into Morrowind. They start slow and your character sucks, so it's easy to feel lost and confused by the huge game that is presented to you.

Bethesda makes great trailers for their key franchises, especially Elder Scrolls.
 
They should release the full theme song. I would pay good money for a lossless version.

Are you reading this, Bethesda? I'm asking you to take my money.

Oh come on, you don't need to play a game from 10 to 20 fucking hours before deciding if you like it or not.

Indeed. I knew I was going to be sucked into Oblivion after the first dungeon and then stepping out into the wild to that massive view of the landscape, begging to be explored. And looted.

What.

I got into both Morrowind and Oblivion instantly.
 
Man between this, Dark Souls and other games whatever remnants of my social life is gonna be demolished by the time Fall hits.

Can't wait!
 
no one does open world games as well as Beth IMO

I have eagerly anticipated every TES game going back to Daggerfall, which is still my favorite, though i love them all

They upscale the textures then add a random noise filter.
 
Finally had a chance to see the trailer large and in HD. Two observations:

1) Much easier to tell now its console, with some of the tell-tale signs.

2) Still looks really fucking good for console.
 
Its probably WAY early but has there been any talk specifically from Bethesda about the PC version? WIll there be more concentration on it this time around to get it up to my ridiculously high standards for PC games?

Good ordering, sir, although I personaly would dispense with the last one and add Ni No Kuni instead.
 
Woo! Looks awesome.

Amazing year, especially for RPGs. Dark Souls, Skyrim, ME3, Witcher 2...shit, gonna have to take out a loan.

Is it just me, or did anyone else start playing Oblivion after watching this trailer?

I do that with a lot of games.

Download Nehrim instead. It will satisfy your Elder Scrolls hunger much more than shitty vanilla Oblivion.

I did. Adding another few hours to my third character's ~70 count. I still haven't completed the main story with any of them.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, This game looks great and all that but it isn't even going to look close to this on the consoles, ie: you see how dense the foliage is in the forest giff? do the consoles really have the ram for it? I truly think that most of the video is from the PC version which only leads me to think that with now seeing how the Witcher 2 plays this is only making me think of what could have been.


blah blah it's really beating on a dead horse but the consoles are really holding back the advance of our generation! with now the onset of Dragon Age 2 which seems to be a consolified disaster, I can't help to only think how much better ES:S could have looked...

Ehh this is all 360 footage.

AND IT LOOKS GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIOUS
 
Looked absolutely amazing.

I just saw the release date. 11.11.11 is still so, so, so far away. I want it like .. now. :(

Unfortunately, I don't have a good enough PC to run Oblivion.. even on lowest settings. I've looked at some videos of Nehrim and it looks amazing. I wish I could try it.

That will change for Skyrim, however, because I'm planning on building a PC by the end of Summer. With BF3, Witcher 2, and Crysis 2 coming out as well, I'd be crazy not to build a PC.

I started a new character. I'm trying to go along with the whole Nordic Barbarian theme, so I obviously went with a Nord. I've actually never been a Nord, so it should be a little different.
 
Looks awesome, now that I have a gaming PC, I'm getting it for PC. So I can control the graphics to my liking.

No more screen tear for this guy!

lmao if people actually thought this

Most everyone did, even a lot of the regular hardcore pc people on this board. It took a bethesda employee to prove people wrong.

It's easy to say you knew it wasn't when it's already been confirmed for half the day that it's 360.
 
Haven't seen this posted, have a baby on 11.11.11 and name it Dovahkiin and you get every Beth game on Steam for free, for ever.
