5 seconds of Skyrim footage - leaked Demo : V - Skyrim

Where's the compass in the footage? Where should I be looking?

the HUD doesn't show up unless it's needed (like in combat, or when your fatigue, magicka, or health is low), so i think that's why it's not there.

Centered at the top of the screen I believe.

What's this compass people are talking about? I see nothing.

Edit: Wow. ninja'd. Sort of.

Edit 2: Oh, finally found it. You can only see it in the transition during the 2 shots. I thought people meant you could see a quest arrow.

You need to open your mind, this is what 5 seconds of footage showed us;

Dynamic Snow.
The compass.
1h Axe.
The fire spell (How it looks in game)
The thing that pops out of the coffin (Skeleton/Lich?)
The look of the dungeon.
Overall look of game in action.

That's worthy of 10 pages sir.

This.

Oh and its a Dragon Priest, so undead lich pretty much. Probably knows Thu'um.

How do you know? Where's this compass and how do you know it's dynamic snow? and 1h Axe?

Actually the current compass seems to indicate that no quest arrow will be used, which is a much welcomed change.

It doesn't move while everything else does. It shows up for a second before the footage transitions to the other camera angle.

Look at the top center. Thats the compass it moves with the screen. The snow is dynamic because Bethesda said it was AND you can see that it doesn't move with the screen here. And if you look to the PC's right hand he has a 1h axe that he is using.

Thanks... It looks odd? Theirs no marks on it.. like North, South, East, and West.. And why is it snowing inside a cave? Or is it a cave with a opening above....

Can you take a pic of this Skeleton/ Lich? I saw something but im not quite sure...

We don't actually see him. We see part of his body rising as the coffin top is blown off.

Keep in mind that this is pre-alpha, and BGS used this demo with GI more than likely back in December. Anything we see just gives us a rough idea of features in Skyrim, not what will actually make it into the final build.

LOL relax, I was kidding. I was actually surprised how much the slowed down version actually showed. It's beautiful to see another TES game in action.

I assume that's it yes.

Exciting stuff. Would someone link me to the first thread on this? I'd like to read other users comments

Also, it's on the first page

Leaked exactly what to the outside world? Nothing I saw in the slowed down version was unexpected or even new. :/

It's not about seeing new information (which the compass was new and nice information), it's about us being able to see the nice smooth gameplay and see that gorgeous snow in motion and the fire spell in a better contrasted background than we have before where we can see the flames roll from the hand better. Plus, we get to see the actual real game (and not a trailer) in motion and it looks great. Mainly, I'm just wondering if Metacafe was given an okay to record the demo and release that small amount of footage or if they are going to get a horrific beating from Bethesda.

The snow and the dungeon look just sweet. Visuals are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

If G4, Gamespot, and GTTV weren't allowed to record actual footage from the demo, I think the answer is clear. Whoever was recording probably pulled out their phone for a couple of seconds just to try and get the "scoop of new info" no one else had.

The game is definitely an improvement over Oblivion. But I'm more interested in seeing the footage we see at E3, as that will be more relevant and likely a newer build of the game..

If Bethesda Okay-ed it, why would they... Maybe because that god awful GTTV show that they Hyped, they realized no one liked.. And they said a lot of things this week and Beth forum people complained so they decided to give off a few seconds..

I hope they'll have another best buy live thing like they had for Fallout New Vegas with Skyrim around E3.. Because i would like to see about 45 minutes of Gameplay...

I was just giving the two options on the table guys, it's pretty obvious that they stole the info. There is always two sides to a coin even if one side is obviously the right side.

WHY IS IT SNOWING INSIDE A CAVE?

WHY IS IT SNOWING INSIDE A CAVE?

Because as was said in the articles, the dungeon has diversity within the dungeon, like one part will be inside and then another will be out on a cliff edge and that one obviously is a chamber with no roof.

WHY IS IT SNOWING INSIDE A CAVE?

Perhaps the cave has an opening, like in the ceiling?
