Skyrim preview from Gaming Daily blog

Post » Wed Sep 28, 2011 6:28 am

http://www.gamingdaily.co.uk/2011/ten-minutes-with-skyrim/, just simply let me know!
Chose to play as a Dunmer
I chose a Dark Elf, because that’s what I always choose

Describes little nit picks he had while playing it on the 360

It looked fine if not jaw dropping as, unfortunately, it was running on a 360 and without trying to incite anything, it didn’t run the best. Lets be honest – it’s aging console and each TES game has always pushed the PCs of the time (not to breaking, by any means, but they do scale upwards very nicely). So, it looked fine if a little blurry and jaggy, and the framerate jerked around a bit, but, well, I’m 100% confident that the PC release will iron out all these issues and most importantly, the style is spot on – traditional fantasy with a subtle, unique twist.

A shout shout or was he using it as a metaphor?
the two handed weapon system works well and allows you to legitimately shout (quietly, under your breath) “with fire and sword!”.

Ewww...
(though I do hope there is an option to keep the “finisher” animations in 1st person, rather than breaking to 3rd to show off a kill)

Another example of the improved Radiant AI
After climbing the hill in the distance some, for example, I came across bandits that politely told me to back off while drawing their swords, only launching into attack when I replied with arrows and fire.

Good read except his bashing of the 360. So many differing viewpoints of the 360.... I'm just hoping it's true that Beth optimize visuals, framerate, blah blah lastly before release.

Ya I thought he was a little picky on the 360, to be honest.

Looks like a good honest review to me. At least he's not over-hyping like IGN or Gamespot

He's right though, no sense denying it.

Same old info. Don't know why anyone would post a review this late, with all the same info. It's like they're oblivious to any other review out there.

Yeah, most likely. Hopefully it shows tons of new gameplay, even though it'll be near release anyways.

They know Skyrim will bring in the website traffic/hits.

I agree.. Nothing interesting is discussed anymore since Sammuthegreat spilled his beans :). I could go for more visuals before release even if it is character creation.
