Skyrim Hub Update

Post » Tue Sep 07, 2010 11:23 pm

So i remember someone on twitter from Game Informer said there would be something added to the online hub on monday (today). I'm guessing it's still very early wherever GI is, so you think we might get some juicy info today?

It's probably just going to be the screen shots from the article.

Yes, and I don't think it will be the screenshots because that would cannibalize the sales of the mag at retailers.


Most likely it will be the Radiant Story Details and Technical Details that were mentioned in the cover story, saying to check the hub for info.

Not so sure they would put those up yet seeing that store haven't even got the mags yet. If they do it though, would be nice with a few bonus ones.

Do you guys think it could be gameplay this early on? I mean, Pete said they would show some in a month with an "r" in it.

Realistically, maybe it will be a skill list or more info on the main story, but I wouldn't mind if it were hi-res screens from the magazine because I still do not have mine. :sadvaultboy:

I'm looking at last months tomb raider hub. It had eleven updates, one of them being the cover reveal. The other updates included a "history of crystal dynamics" who are the developer of the game. This might be skyrims version of the "decrypting the elder scrolls". The hub also had character profiles, an update with some concept art, an update with some wallpapers, a special podcast with a couple developers answering fan questions and gi discussing what they thought of the game so far, the last hub update was a video showing the process of how the cover art was created.

It won't be gameplay videos. I can guarantee it. Release of info will be a lot faster than oblivion, but that doesn't mean it wont be a slow burn for the next 11 months. They will space out the content. Screens here and there, and interview now and then, but gameplay videos will be few and far between. Most probable is a 5 part demo with Todd Howard for E3. Giving them the ability to print "RPG of E3" etc etc on the box.


As I said before, it will likely be "Radiant story info" and "Technical Details" as it said in the magazine. Considering many people will be getting the Mag today, they can't exactly say " Go to our website for more info on this" and then not have the info up.

They actually totally did that with the last issue of GI. They were supposed to have the extended "decoding the Elder Scrolls" article up and gave you the link to go to in the article. That didn't happen until a week or so ago :sadvaultboy:

Huh... That means that we definitely won't be seeing gameplay for the first time at E3. Cool.

To the OP: There is supposed to be an update today. I assume that it'll be done within the next couple of hours, they usually seem to update their site before noon.

Edit: Here's the http://twitter.com/#!/Andrew_Reiner/status/23426347195965441 confirming that Andrew Reiner said there would be an update today.

That sounds like it was very active in updates. I'm fairly optimistic that we will get some meaningful information today at some point.

It most definitely won't be more screenshots, so don't get your hopes up; if the Portal 2 hub is any indication, it'll just be another interview with the devs, or something similar; they don't really release anything we didn't already know on the hub.
