Monday update for GI hub

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 6:59 pm

I agree, I'd like some visuals (either screen shots or art). That seems the next step after sound.

So lets see most the updates to the hub have been videos. Well past the initial few that gave us the story and the dragon language game decipher thingy.

They talked with Todd Howard who gave a tour of their studio and their past, revealed the map and some concept art
They talked with Todd Howard about basically his past and video games in general, revealed some tidbits of information
They talked with Mark Lampert about the sounds and audio in the game, revealed the new theme, centurion spheres, dragon shouts, and other info.

I imagine it will be yet another video(s) with someone when they visited their studios. It won't be about the sound/audio so it'll either have to be something else about the process of game design or just some screenshots and footage?

I think a likely thing they could explain is the new engine and it's capabilities. Showcasing the world in game. Like the weather, snow falling, wind, plants etc. It wouldn't reveal too much of the game and it would stick with their trend of revealing things about the game but not actual gameplay or too much info.

I hope for more concept art from the walls at their studios or maybe a screenshot or two thrown in there.

Well since the last one was the sound of Skyrim, maybe the next will be the Look of skyrim, through screen shots or concept art, like what they've thought about when picturing Skyrim.

I think the update on monday is going to be related to radiant story and the tech behind the game. The gi article says to visit the hub for more info on these things so we know at least one of the updates will be about radiant story and the tech. I think the monday update will be related to this.

this. I think your right. Though they used game footage last time to explain this, what will they just write up and explain a story of how it works in game with some screens maybe?

Or just talk to someone like Todd Howard sitting in a lobby as he explains it.

As long as it's something awesome, I'm happy.

But they'd better not release anything tomorrow: I've got the mother of all exams coming up on Wednesday, so I'd hate being distracted.

I think we will get some more fluff which will tell us very little.

IS that the abridged version? Any by the way it will confirm that we start off as a prisoner.

Well they have already told about,
  • Their work (the tour
  • Story(alduins wall)
  • Progress for skyrim (the three videos)
  • Sound


so maybe they will tell about

  • graphics
  • engine
  • gameplay
  • Character creation
  • Landscape
  • Skills

Please see 2 posts above. My guess is you will learn nothing from the monday 'update'.

I concur. We may see something random like a vid showing off more technology behind the game.

I serioiusly don't think they'll reveal screenshots and stuff until E3.

At the most, I see them revealing some concept art on something. Maybe concept art concerning dragons?

I don't expect them to give us screenshots until towards the end of the Hub's coverage. So like the end of January.

Well, we'll be getting a gameplay vid in a month that has an "r" in it, and since E3 is in June (doesn't have an "r"), I'm expecting it before then. Perhaps in March during PAX East.

So yeah, we're definitely getting screenshots before E3.

Gi said to expect more info on the in game mechanics, combat and technology so it should be something about one of those subjects.

I'd like to see some detailed explanations about how the 'Radiant' quest/dungeon system works. That's my one big '?' at the moment.

Thats what I want to see the most. But bethesda will probably make me wait until the end of the month for the good stuff...We will probably either see a meet the devs or possibly a meet the editors (The people who find bugs and whatnot)

I would assume that they would share more dev videos. Considering they've covered Todd and a studio tour, in-depth sound design vid, etc. The most likely scenario is that they are going to cover world design or graphics engine, something of that nature. But I'm up for anything, really.

Has anyone decided to pester (or ask to put it nicely) Andrew Reiner on his Twitter to get a general idea of when the hubdate will go live?

I would, but I don't have a Twitter, nor do I plan on getting one.

I'll be happy to get anything because I've still not received my issue. Of course the one with Skyrim is delayed, the most important one ever!
