Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Since the release of announcement of Skyrim at the Spike Video Game Awards, it was abundantly clear that Bethesda had something special on their hands. Oblivion and Fallout were special but fans were ready for something new. It was time for Elder Scrolls to get the tech and mechanic upgrade that it truly deserves. The reveal of today's gameplay trailer gives us just that. This is the first trailer I can remember that put my jaw on the floor. I have been in the habit of not reserving games until 3 months ahead at most but today I will be making an exception. This is going to be big.

    So happy they used the morrowind theme. I actually felt nostalgic.

    A game of this caliber shouldnt be played on an consoles as underpowered as the 360 or ps3. My pc build is nearly complete and all for this game. Looks amazing.

    Why isn't Morrowind special :(

    Everything here, everything seen on the surface looks fantastic. All I'm hoping for is that the things under the hood haven't suffered too much in the name of "streamlining."

    Maybe it's just me but the animations and all look like Oblivion all over again. Updated, yeah, but very similar. I thought the new engine would mean something better than this.

    Don't get me wrong, it looks very good. It's just that I'm no fan of Oblivion except for it's extensive mod support on PC. Hope it's the same for this one and also they make their world more "alive". Both Morrowind and Oblivion felt too stiff and sterile. Even Fallout 3's wasteland has more immersion and life than those games.

    To this day Oblivion is still my most highly regarded game on the 360, it defined the term "Next-Gen". everything was of a scale we'd never seen before, and even to this day I feel like nothing has surpassed it a piece of sheer technical excellence and adventure.

    Skyrim looks like it's ready to push the boundaries even further.

    Dark Souls and This. Having this much epicness loaded - the trailers about Skyrim obviously bring the hype to the stars, but I'm still wondering if all this is juust a bit too exaggerated. Either way, I don't see any other competitors who could stand a chance as the GotY when both Skyrim and Dark Souls enter the ring at the end of the year.

    Anyways, pardon me and my skeptical tendencies ^_^ This trailer is pure greatness nonetheless! Can't wait till the end of the year!

    A graphically updated Oblivion with some features from Dark Messiah of Might and Magic and Dragon Age thrown in to look original.

    Yep, it'll sell.

    I was impressed from the start with this trailer but once the vocal part of the music turned right into the Elder Scrolls theme, my mind was shot back through time to when I first played Morrowind. Great use of the theme, my blood is pumped for this game and I haven't been pumped for a game in a long time now.
