Elder Scrolls Turns V at Spike VGAs

[Spectrum_Prez]

I have tears in my eyes. Literally. Oh man....

I think I'm more excited about the new version of the Elder Scrolls theme song than the actual game itself, hahahahaha. I hereby make the bold claim that the Elder Scrolls theme is the greatest piece of original music written for a video game ever and challenge anyone to defy me.

Holllllyyyyyy crappppppppp.

11.11.11 can't come fast enough.

 

[SextusMaximus]

I... I... I...


YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


I cannot wait for this; I need some gameplay trailers very. very. very soon.

 

[imnot]

Not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion...

Whats wrong with Oblivion, the only badthing I can think is my computers to crappy to run it well

 

[Exosus]

I'm ok with this. Skyrim was probably my third to last choice after Morrowind and Tamriel, but Tamriel provided SUCH a horrible example that I'm willing to accept virtually anything. I'm just hoping we get to somewhere actually interesting within my lifetime...

 

[Cowabungaa]

The only good thing to come out of the Spike Western Video Game Awards.

I can't wait for TES5!

*Ahem* Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, and Portal 2. I believe you stand corrected.

Seriously, though. This is fucking awesome.

ME3. I don't like shooters. Don't care.

Uncharted 3. Shooter. Don't care.

Resistance 3. Shooter. Don't care.

Portal 2. Don't care. Plus it was previously announced at E3.

I don't stand corrected. The only good thing to come out of the Spike Western Video Game Awards is TES5.

The only good thing for you perhaps, they're still great games. So yes, you do stand corrected, afterall you can't really blame those developers for your taste in games.

*ahem*

Woohoo! While I was rather disappointed by TES4 after hearing so much about it, it still showed massive potential. I'm hoping TES5 will fix TES4's major flaws and I'd pretty much have my perfect fantasy game!

Not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion...

Whats wrong with Oblivion, the only badthing I can think is my computers to crappy to run it well

- Beanbag combat (as in hitting someone with a sword has the same effect as hitting someone with a beanbag, looks retarded)
- Downright scary NPC's for various reasons.
- A fuckton of bugs.

That's what was wrong with it, mainly.

 

[Gabanuka]

Mass Effect 3 and TES 5 in the spae of 24 hours? HOLY FUCK!

 

[binvjoh]

Awesome. I should finish Oblivion then.

 

[Credge]

Not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion...

Oh boy...

Everything to do with leveling in that game was awful.

The weapon selection was awful.

The spell system was awful.

The game unintentionally broke the third wall with the way NPC's looked and responded in the same four voice sets.

The skill system had a decent idea but was executed awfully ESPECIALLY compared to morrowind.

The only redeeming qualities of the game were the quests and the combat... some of the time. The combat was very fun, but the character development was stagnant because of levels and everything they did, caused, and resulted in.

I'll put it to you like this. It should not be the case that it's better for me to level up skills I did not pick as the primary skills for my character.

 

[Spectrum_Prez]

Awesome. I should finish Oblivion then.

Yup, this is the impetus for my '100%'ish runthrough of Oblivion. I spent a good amount of time on it, but never got around to actually exploring everywhere. Old computer was too crap + I lost interest after the main storyline wrapped up. Just wasn't as good as Morrowind, but I'm sure it'll improve if I give it time.

I just watched the trailer again and I cried again. Oh man.

 

[skeliton112]

YES! I've wanted them to come up with another TES. I hope it combines the good from oblivion and morrowind.

 

[imnot]

Not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion, not like Oblivion...

Oh yeah, I did hate the leveling and NPC's

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone get me some new underwear! Cannot wait. So glad it's not Cyrodiil again! Oh man... DO WANT!!!

 

[John the Gamer]

Dragons? Yay to that!

 

[Mcupobob]

I just craped my pants in joy.

 

[Super Jamz]

Looks like that giant dragon statue we made at the end of Oblivion is actually going to be doing something useful...

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I've been on the fence about Dragon Age 2 since it was announced. Several trailers later, I still don't know if I want it or not. It only took this one teaser for me to long for the frigid peaks of my native Skyrim.

Elder Scrolls Turns V at Spike VGAs

[gametrailers=708368]

One of the biggest announcements made at the 2010 Spike VGAs will greatly please RPG fans.

The 2010 Spike TV Video Game Awards held a major surprise for fans of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls [http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-IV-Oblivion-Game-Pc/dp/B000V9C9FO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1292126761&sr=8-3] series. Revealed at the show was a brand new installment: Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

RPG fans are set to have at least 100 more hours of their lives sucked away by the franchise, but Bethesda didn't reveal anything other than a story-based trailer for the game. Gameplay wasn't shown off, nor were details shared, but the Elder Scrolls games have been similar since Arena [http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-Arena-Pc/dp/B0002XMKVW/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1292126799&sr=1-7] was released in 1994, so expect the same, but better. The game is named after the region of Skyrim, a cold and mountainous area where the first human settlements were said to have been founded.

The trailer that was played at the VGAs uses animation that appears as if it was carved out of stone, with the narrator saying that someone "should have acted" while imagery shows dragons or similar creatures annihilating a civilization. The game's Elder Scrolls apparently said these creatures would return, which had been defeated long ago, and they seem like pretty serious foes.

Luckily, these creatures fear the Dragonborn, which the player is likely is one of. The events of Oblivion are mentioned during the trailer, so it's possible that rumors [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95699-Rumor-Next-Elder-Scrolls-Game-to-be-set-200-Years-After-Oblivion] that put Elder Scrolls V 200 years after the previous game could be true.

The trailer reveals that Elder Scrolls V will be out on November 11, 2011. With less than 11 months to release, expect Bethesda to provide more details soon.

Anyway it's nice to have a setting set out, can't say I wasn't pissed at 11/11/11, but that's how it is with Bethseda, get GOTY.

Can't wait! (But must =[)

 

[GundamSentinel]

Oh dear, another one for the 'must have' list. It's starting to get rather long. Not that I'm complaining, of course...

 

[w-Jinksy]
