Game Informer Update Today : V

» Sat Feb 26, 2011 8:55 pm

January 26th

According to Andrew Reiner there is going to be a hub update today.

And you can expect the next one on Wed.

Which one of the next two hub updates do you want to be today's?

"We'll have a video about the talented art team and the work they do at the studio. In addition, watch for a focused piece on Skyrim's completely overhauled user interface and menu system, and how it differs from what you remember in Oblivion."

I really want to see the UI.

User Interface

Graphics/system requirements/etc (so we can finally get it out of the way of how the PC version will ACTUALLY be)

UI, I've been dying to see it.

100% UI, tihs is very important to me.

UI, so I can start planning out the Skyrim PC-friendly interface mod on sticky notes in advance.

Art. ^_^ Think of it, we could catch glimpse of more concept art, hopefully of beast races, so to allay fears of yet more anthropomorphism.

I am a bit sad we did not have an update on factions, or world history, quality of dialogues, possibility of taking diverse paths on quests, etc. :mellow: It could have been possible to give teasers and reassurances on writing while being cryptic enough to avoid spoilers.

I am not bothered which information is released, I am just pleased that they have chosen to release it at all.

That thread was not on the main page. Thats the "okay" from the mods that I needed to make this one. Besides. Does theirs have a poll or red letters?

UI, of course. Gotta see if I have to wait for DarN(Or any other UI modder,really) to make it good, or not.

Artwork is cool and all that, but a good look at the UI will answer so many questions about skills, inventory, and the map, and I really don't want a repeat of the 'staying up after midnight to see a black and white picture of a troll' letdown the other week.

Definitely UI, to clear up as much speculation as possible and get an idea of what controlloing the character is gonna be like (or, in other words, playing the game :cool:

)

Yes, it does now.

It wouldn't be like that. It would be a video like the behind the scenes of Skyrim except this one is just for the Art Team.

Since Pete Hines mentioned "acronyms," it's possible we will see an AI update as well.

» Sun Feb 27, 2011 7:51 am

I'd like to see both, honestly, because both the lack of creativity in art design and the console oriented interface bothered me, so I want to see if Skyrim will improve on these aspects, though the images I've so far seen do indicate a more interesting art direction than Oblivion, but I'd like to see more, as to the interface, I haven't seen much of that, yet, so it would be nice to see it. Either way, though, whatever information we get, I'll be happy to get it, so long as it concerns the actual game design.

I really want to See the UI for a few reasons.

1. It sounds interesting. Maybe they will release a screen of it? I believe it was Gstaff who said that Game Informer would have new screens?

2. Maybe we will find out if attributes are in or out.

3. Also, if there are screens, it could mean getting a skill list.

They would have to have screens if they want to show off the UI. Which is an almost entirely visual part of the game. I would be happy with just a bit more info but It wouldn't be worth skipping school or staying up for.

Actually, yes... But I'm pretty sure it was just recently edited in. :tongue:

I would prefer the hub update to be on the UI. Concept art is pretty, but a UI update would give us some actual information on the game.

» Sat Feb 26, 2011 10:48 pm

They are both equally interesting to me, the update that I was looking foward to most was mondays about the combat.

» Sun Feb 27, 2011 12:15 am

We seem to have two topics on this - we will use the earlier one.
