New GameInformer Screenshots

Post » Tue Apr 13, 2010 11:56 pm

I just got the latest issue of GI, and read they had some Skyrim stuff on page 66. I flipped through the pages expecting the usual latest stuff we all know and have seen... but actually got a few new screenshots! I can't find them on GI's site, or anywhere else; yet... and I don't think this has been talked about here on the forums. Anyone else seen these?? Maybe knows a link to them on the web?

There are three that are definitely new to me.


The first at the top of the page is kind of like this one >>> http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/screenshots/draugr-swarm/ ... it has two Draugr right in front of the character in first person; one with glowing blue eyes standing off to the left of another who seems to have just gotten smacked with the usual blade this demo character has had. The one with glowing eyes has a two-handed something, and the one getting smacked has a war-axe... and a bow visibly sheathed on his back. He's recoiling with his eyes closed and all, I believe. All this is taking place in a fire-lit crypt; you can see skeletal bodies laying in open catacombs behind the Draugr.


The second is at the bottom left of the page, it's based in this place >>> http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/screenshots/forest-hunt/ ... a straight on landscape shot of a winding creek/river at the bottom of a hill. The golden-orange trees we've seen in the hunter pic are surrounding it, along with small rocky/dirt outcrops to the left... bushes to the right a bit lower on the ground. This shot shows off the lighting and shadows really nicely; the trees all lit up compared to the river itself which is sort of covered by the little rock/dirt outcrops. Really gorgeous in my opinion.


Finally, the third, which I'm pretty sure I haven't seen yet. It's a close up from behind of the demo Dragonborn character again, and seems to be a continuation of this >>> http://www.elderscrolls.com/skyrim/media/screenshots/draugr-hero/ ... it's looking over the left shoulder of the character as he unsheathes the blade from his back, caught halfway; staring down the Draugr up ahead. There looks to be a bit of foliage on the wall and a mess of roots up ahead.


So yeah! They look pretty sweet... especially the Draugr getting hit, and the winding stream screens. I might be able to upload some pics somewhere... don't have a scanner! Hope my descriptions were alright for now. ;)




[EDIT] - Sorry I can't/won't post links to any photos of the screens that I took, it's against forum rules either way. :angel: So! I either suggest you pick up the latest issue of GameInformer.. (for the screens, and just all the magazine's gaming goodness).. or keep an eye here/around... for I will certainly update this when the screens are legally released somewhere; and I'm sure others will too. ;)

The ones he described? The ones he linked to weren't the new ones he was talking about.

As a known fan, I think, of the autumn trees in Skyrim, I'm excited about seeing that new autumn tree pic :D

A day or 2 ago, yes. I'll be getting it by Thursday or Friday, based on the usual timing. Hopefully as soon as tomorrow, though.

I'm sure someone will have scans up somewhere by then.

It's a daytime shot. Just the way the light hits them compared to the forest floor looks really nice here to me.
