The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Footage

[Oct 31, 2011, 10:09 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

YouTube trailer that's no longer available thanks to a copyright claim by ZeniMax Media is posted on Kotaku (copyrights be damned), showing off over 20 minutes of the beginning of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Bethesda's upcoming RPG sequel. The clip includes the opening cinematic, intro sequence, character creation, and more, so it definitely should be avoided by those who don't want to spoil the experience when Skyrim is released a week from Friday.

Looks like they haven't improved combat much. The animations are still terrible.

So what everyone here is saying is that they value graphics over gameplay?

If I'm fighting an enemy and he walks and attacks with horrible animations that ruin the immersion and take me out of the game, I classify that as a fault in gameplay.

To me, animations are in a category apart from graphics.

@jerykk: I'd rather they re-prioritize a bit. Practically all animations could be completed by one (better skilled) person during the dev cycle.




I have projectile dysfunction.
