TESO is a money gimmick. They're not going to waste their time and money making it as smooth as the first-person action game of Morrow/Obliv/Skyrim, you people better start remembering that.


Personally, I don't really have an opinion of this game. I love TES but I don't think I'd pay to play an MMO again.

Saw some screenshots, doesn't look very Elder Scroll like.

Who put starcraft things in my Elder Scrolls game?

[Jeffwilson99]

Looks closer to Morrowind rather than anything else. Morrowind was my favorite in terms of originality, so it'd be cool to see more of that.

[I_am_Not]

seems pretty disappointing...knew it'd be too good to be true

To me they look like a cross between Morrowind and Oblivion. Skyrim was only a single game in the series, so it doesn't have to look anything like it tbh.

I'm confused, I don't think anyone was saying that it had to look like skyrim? >_>'

Not here, but I've seen comments on some gaming websites about it not looking like Skyrim.

A MMORPG that look like Skyrim would be amazing but not realistic. However, I was expecting something that wasn't so dull looking, that's for sure.

[Jeffwilson99]

Yeah but I hope it varies from region to region. Like you expect Cyrodill to be quite bland, but Black Marsh and Morrowind a bit more outlandish.

Seems like the best place for it:



Elder Scrolls MMO trailer comes out, literally indiscernible from any other fantasy game except for I guess the White-Gold Tower, nobody is surprised.

also the cgi looks kinda garbage

[Randox]

I dislike it when game trailers don't show any gameplay, or give any indication whatsoever of what the game might be like. I half expected to see "The Quest for Skyrim, coming to theaters Febuary 1st" at the end of that.

And what CGI are you looking at? I thought a lot of that was good enough to be in a movie, or pretty close to it.

[decebal]

The fight scenes felt hurried, and the I felt like they tried too hard to make the main characters badass.

Those are my only gripes with the cinematic. I felt the same as Langzor when I first heard and seen screenshots of the game, but after hearing some good reviews coming from alpha testers, I'm holding my judgment until I see some actual gameplay.

Overall I think the skin of the characters looked a bit too waxy, and w/the whole rooftop fight the armoured guys looked way too shiny and moved kind of oddly. The environments looked really well done so I guess my only beef was with the soldiers and even then they were kind of gut instinct feelings of dislike.

[Golvellius]

Don't tell me, they have a combat triangle in the shape of 3 serpents eating each other.

[Randox]

I was the other way around. The skin to me was well done enough to almost simulate having pores, and the armour itself was absolutely fantastic to the point where the ones not showing any skin could almost have been actual people wearing actual armour. The environment on the other hand, particularly the rocks, was really good, but the texture seems a little off. Either way, I'd be happy to watch a movie with that level of animation.

I'd still like to see the actual game though, since that trailer provides absolutely no information.

And most all games have a combat triangle or sorts. There are precious few games where no unit has any advantages over any other unit. That said, some games do have a certain elegance to it. One of my favourites are the mages of Baldur's Gate, and D&D in general. A low leveled mage is a delicate flower to be protected by the party, particularly the melee units keeping the other side from attacking the mage. Late game when you mage is leveled up and has some decent gear, it becomes a dominating force on the battle field often protecting everyone else by ensuring that magical attacks from the enemies don't kill everyone instantly, and occasionally casting gate before running very far, very fast, in the more hopeless situations.

Beta testing signups are open. I've got no chance in hell getting in with a laptop that can barely play anything, but maybe some of you guys can. Good luck to the applicants.

@ that trailer, the elves look weird again. I thought we finally got past that.

[decebal]

At least they don't look like aliens.

[Scary Crayon]

Super hyped for this, looks like its gonna be a big one, if that pull it off, it'll destroy all MMO's haha

[obfuscator]

I don't see it being very good. did the beta signup anyway
