New GI Trailer (April) Discussion

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 3:22 pm

So what did you guys think of the new trailer over at:

http://www.gameinformer.com/games/the_elder_scrolls_v_skyrim/b/xbox360/archive/2011/01/17/the-technology-behind-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim.aspx

I thought it was interesting that they've taken things in such a new direction with the airships being a big part of the game, but I'm not really sure how it fits in lore yet (what with the Dwemer stuff mostly not working anymore). I'm also not sure about the changes to Argonians and Khajit, did they really have to be quadraqedal this time around? If they keep the same amount of armor in the game for them it'll be fine, but I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy the alternate playstyle considering you're basically just crawling around.

DX11 footage looks phenomenal, though as Todd said it's mostly just dx9/10 stuff running in dx11. Those fluid physics though, I mean wow. The way the giant burst that dam over riverwood and flooded the entire valley, that's the kind of thing I've always dreamed of seeing in an RPG and now it's being realized.

Great job gamesas, this new trailer really shows you guys know what you're doing, and while there are things I don't like - I know everyone has preferences that can't be satisfied so it's better if we just focus on the aspects that we enjoy instead of niggling over every little detail that we think is dumb.

So what do you guys think of the trailer? Screencaps incoming as soon as I can download the video to capture them properly..

I love that bit where the hero gets off his bear and breaks the window with his spear, enters the house, uses a ladder in real time to reach the attic where he transforms into a wolf.

That's like 90% of this forums suggestions yay. Good to see them finally being implemented...

Good trailer, but I'm worried about the spaghetti western theme they seem to be going for. That scene where the Redguard in the trenchcoat jumped through the glass window firing a hand crossbow in each hand, then leapt onto the back of the mammoth and rode into the sunset... I dunno. Didn't seem to fit the lore that well.

Honestly though, I dunno if the sniper scope really was needed, the plasma gun seemed to hit fairly well without it.

I think the grenades were not necessary he seemed to be doing just fine with the mini-gun turret.

Bethesda really outdid themselves this time. :whistling:

I mean Nukes in Skyrim is realistic, right?
The part I find a bit hard to believe is where North Korea's Beloved Leader sits down with a female orc to sip cocktails and chichat.
Come on, I mean it's darn good for immersion sake, but everybody knows female orcs are abstemious. And dislkie olives.

My school Celebrated April Fools... Not A Joke.
But as My Dad Said Cause I'm The 2nd smartest guy in my class: "Well, April fools is A Day For Fools." And By fools he is reffering to the pepole in my school, or class, IDK. April fools is Madness... Madness? It's Madness... Or Is It? Madness Changed.... Did it? Well OBVIOUSLY Sheogorath is no more which means you won't be able to worship him anymore.....Or DID he Die? Maybe there will be a statue of Jygallag? Or Will There? The Answer Is Yes. Or No. Yes? No. Well Actually Im Doing a Duty Calls Refference, But none of you understand it... Or Do you? You don't.. .Maybe. Maybe answers all questions asked. All Yes and No Questions to be exact.
