Skyrim Announcement Timing

Post » Fri Feb 18, 2011 4:02 pm

The announcement did, in fact, occur on December 11, 2010.

And my write-in vote is: "Voth aan bahlok wah diivon fin lein!" ;)


Well then my Memory is worse than I thought it was! :cryvaultboy:

In any case, How woud 11.11.11 tie into the game, seeing as they go on a thirteen month calander and it isn't going to be eleventh year?
Still a preety spiffy number.

I'm so excited i just wish it wasn't so far out by the time it's released haloween will be over and i will have started highschool, summer will have ended it's a long ways out and i'm tormented with dreams of skyrim, i'm getting that weird feeling in my stomach like i'm feeding of my own anticipation that i had when i was waiting to get an xbox live card to get the shivering isles add on (when my Dad was in Iraq he he was earning a little extra money so to help keep us children happy we'd get 30$ a month, which i must say did keep me happy, he's back now btw that was 2 years ago.)

Timing was fine with me. When I saw the trailer I almost hyperventilated then when I heard its gonna be on a new engine I panicked(worried about the CS) but then rejoiced because of the improvements. Now that I've read GI this month I can't wait

How did people know it was coming? I mean, none of you knew, right, it was just speculation? I did a search for it about once a month and didn't find anything till Christmas.

I knew it was coming, was happy to hear, but I think they should have announced immediately, so I voted number 1. It just irritated me a little because they gave absolutely no time to hear fan input about the game.

Oblivion came out on March 21st, 2006. Threads about what people wanted to see in ESV started no later than March 22nd, 2006. They had a lot of time to hear fan input; dozens of threads of fan input.

Skyrim was easily the worst kept secret in the video game industry. It was only a matter of time until BGS announced it and no it's not a coincidence that they announced it when they did as something in the game has to be related to the number 11.

something in the game has to be related to the number 11.
Well, 11-11-11 could easily just be an impressive looking and easy to remember advertising graphic rather than something important to the game, and Dec. 11 2010 just happened to be the date that Spike scheduled their video game awards. I doubt Bethesda had the pull to ask them to reschedule the awards show just because a different date would be more in keeping with their game.

I was quite certain about Skyrim being on its way. It was only a confirmation of thoughts I had since the last one or two years.

Release date is perfect. I know TES V was coming eventually, but had no idea in what fashion. Was a nice surprise at the VGA, and look forward to it Veteran's Day.
