Gameplay video coming in a month ! ! ! : V - Skyrim

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 7:48 am

I'm going to ask a stupid question : our Skyrim trailer, it's only a teaser trailer right ? Is it possible that another trailer, with more content has been made , which could be used to update the Elderscrolls site ? In fact, on his tweeter, Pete mentioned watching trailers for Bethesda various games :

Trailers we are working on for our games look amazing. Saw one this am that was awesome, and the one I just saw gave me chills, four times. 11:16 PM Jan 21st via Ping.fm

I agree that the way Pete worded it - "good month" - couldn't refer to merely screenshots. It *is* something that's bound to make us forget about January. But it seems kinda early for gameplay video. I mean, that's the big guns, right ? That's above that, in terms of content release ?

Just to add to my earlier post: in English (at least in Australian English), "good" is often used to mean what "full" means. For example, a good month = a full month (ie. it won't happen before a month has elapsed). Or, a good litre = a full litre (ie. you'll need at least a litre of water to cook that rice properly). And so on.

That's why I get that reading. But maybe it doesn't work like that in Rockville.

Hmmm. It does seem a bit early for a gameplay video. I would have thought that would be released once the game was all but done and from the podcast it sounded like there is still a long way to go before that.

Still. Good months are good

That's another point. They're hyper tight lipped about what's going to be or not in the game - clearly the Oblivion demo is on their mind. Doesn't seem much coherent to release a gameplay video in that mindset.

I'd be happier than anything if I'm wrong, mind you. But eh.

I really doubt that ;-)

The lawyer in me would say there's an "in" missing from our sentence to have this, but I'll just shut up and hope you're right. :biggrin:

"it should be a good month"

"Oh my god they're going to release the entire game within a month!!"

"it should be a good month"

"Oh my god they're going to release the entire game within a month!!"

I have to correct you, it says: "should be a good month"

Im not gonna let negativity get the best of me on this one. Im assuming Pete was not trying to leave false clues. Probably have a few weeks until we see this game in action

Sounds to me like he means we should get some nice info and screenshots throughout the month. Be patient for anything "jaw dropping".

My prayers have been answered!

At the moment I wouldn't just mind a trailer with no gameplay that would satisfy me a gameplay trailer would keep me up till 4am thinking about it instead of sleeping and a video walkthrough would make me obsessed

Gameplay video or not, I'm eager to end this boring February ^^

I just love the title and description on this thread. i really don't thing it needs any more than that.

I could be wrong but a 'Good' month in this context usually means at the earliest. So it seems to me he is saying it will be at least a month. Although the fact we have GDC does make me think maybe they might show it then.

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:12 am

GDC is more developer-oriented stuff, not gamer-oriented. Although I could see someone perhaps talking about new tech they implemented in the Creation Engine, with maybe some pics, I highly doubt there'll be anything substantial for the public.

We'll just have to wait and see really.
I'll be happy if it's just extra new's or screenshots.
But i'm gunna be optamistic about the gameplay and say " i believe" :thumbsup:
Also tod did say in the podcast soon

Also i believe they know they have got a great game on their hands.
It sounds like they are excited with what they have achieved with it,BUT don't want to over hype it.
My opinion.

Tbh, i don't know if i want to watch in game content, they can make it look so incredible but then the actual game may not be as good.

Some developers have chosen to show actual footage for GDC while making it presentable to the public as well. I want to say that Bethesda showed off the Radiant AI mock-up at GDC when Oblivion was coming out but I could be way off on that. If they feel that the combat is spectacular they may show off the various forms of that. They seem to be very pleased with the results from the more animated combat/finishing forms. Be nice to see some Weapon/Spell finishing animations.

If they want to show off this time they should show dive bombing, fire breathing vicious dragons.

Ok that does it, I'm ready for this vid!
