Probably just the difference between sprinting and walking during combat.

I was thinking that but it seems strange the running would have this beautiful bobbing movement going while walking is devoid of it.

1) Risen 2 is going to rock everybodies world.

2) Mass Effect 3 is on my Top 3 anticipated games. If I have to explain why, you are hopeless.

3) What the fuck is Ni No Kuni?

4) Deux Ex is not an RPG

If Deus Ex isn't an rpg, what makes mass effect 3 one?

Oblivion can be fixed to play as good as Morrowind but with better graphics, so

Oblivion > Morrowind

Graphics are sooo important.

I guess if you want boring environments, lame quests, gimped magic and the worst leveling ever, then yeah, go have at it with Oblivion.

Mods can do a lot for Oblivion (I've got 255 installed), but they can't fix some regressions from Morrowind. One example would be the architectural variety. And while mods can give you levitation, they can't make the world/dungeons be developed with that in mind.

Waiting to see more animation, they suck at it so I hope they improved it with this.

Also what program are you using to make those gifs?

Yeah, dunno if it's actually in there though.

In this Dennis grab you can see him basically sliding across the ground as in older Beth games.

Would add a lot if they can get a head-bobbing mechanic in first-person that simulates this:

In one he is walking and in the other he is running. Head bobbing may be on while running only (and it makes a lot more sense that way).

On the other hand, Oblivion doesn't have Cliff Racers.

Graphics > Art design

There I said it.

GAF fetishism of 'Art design' is just that - a fetish.
Click to expand...
Really? I love it when both come together to create a beautiful game, and I wish I didn't have to choose between one or the other, but I'll take ingenuity and art design over graphics every day. Metroid Prime comes out on top of so much games precisely because of this.

Sorry for the derail.

I liked the look of the dragon shout in the trailer, I'm no longer worried about that.

Well they sort of go together in the graphics leap between Morrowind and Oblivion, for me Morrowind is so low-res I can't really tell what the art is going for.

Looks cool, but they are really pushing the fact that this game has dragons in it. They do know that they didn't invent dragons, right?

Don't you think art design falls under graphics?

edit: not that I disagree with you, it just seems like a matter of definition.

One thing I wanna see are the new faces and facial animations. You barely see any of that in the trailer. Can I finally make a good looking character and are the NPCs no longer muppets?

You're not entirely motionless when you're walking. It's jarring that one has head bobbing and the other is completely static. It should just be different degrees of it.

I loved oblivion but god was i disappointed with it. It's just not as good as morrowind. It's not very memorable. Cyrodill was boring and not very unique, i expected it to be Romans in China with huge rainforests. :/ I mean Morrowind had flaws, but the game was so original and the villains were cool, hell the game was very grey-grey morality.

No. God, no. What's the point of amazing graphics if it looks ugly and/or generic?

And I'm sure Skyrim will have pretty glaring flaws which cannot be detected yet since we only have a trailer to go by.

- Probably a boring/stupid story
- Bethesda can't write,we know that
- Don't expect much from quests
- we will see how the combat system hold up,these guys aren't From software...
- we will see how the leveling and level scaling end up

I predict yet another 93-94% rated game with ton of game design flaws...

I just noticed the way the snow is falling during the first-person running segment through the forest. Very nice. I see snow for a good seven months out of the year so it's great when developers understand its behavior.

It might just be hard to see in that scene, because when he's walking in town in third person, there's a slight bob.

The two aren't mutually exclusive, you know. It's when tech and art work hand-in-hand that you end up with some of the prettiest stuff out there. And there are examples of games where the art is good enough to mostly overshadow tech limitations.

Just to clarify, all of this trailer was captured on Xbox 360. Also, the draw distance is not faked in any way.

Well, you may be right. Why don't you tell me what you know about ME3 and we'll compare notes.
Click to expand...

Ha, ok. Well assuming that the evolution (devolution?) of the first to the second game continues with the 3rd. Even if it stays the same as the second, it's no more and probably less of an rpg than deus ex appears to be (based on screens of inventory/upgrades).

I enjoy playing games with technically good graphics but generic art design more than games with shitty graphics but hot 'Art direction'

Often art direction is used as an excuse for lazy, incompetent, console graphics here on NeoGAF.

Indeed, remains to be seen. Only reason I'm focused on that at all is because I think it has a substantial effect on immersion. Past Beth games have felt like you were disconnected from the world due to the sliding feel of movement.

Is it wrong of me to dream of co-op for the entire story?

Yes and you should feel awful.

As for the guy who crossed off Mass Effect 3 and put some random japanese rpg in place, you should feel even worse. I wish I could punch an opinion.
