Red Dead was pretty empty though in terms of places and people. There was like 1 decent sized town in the game, and IMO while the game looks good, it doesn't look as good as this. Now factor in all the places that will be in this game and their interiors, all the weaving quest lines and factors, and all the people if Oblivion is anything to go by. Not to mention the dragon mechanics and possibly burning villages down or even just damaging them.
Just Cause 2 was really impressive, but there were a lot of re-used assets and the people and animations did not look good at all.

My reaction to the trailer:
Can't wait. Oblivion was my first real West RPG back in the days.

The scenes in the wild were fantastic. I was also quite impressed and fucking downright stoke when I saw the creeping in the autumn Birch tree forest. Beautiful, nothing better than that color palette. Looks like animation and character models are top notch, I'm fucking ready!
I hope I can chop down trees.

Probably won't get the game, but I'll be damned if this isn't one of the best videogame trailers in years.

That trailer is so damn good. I've watched it 6-7 times already. That dragon shout/chorus sequence made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It's got a couple of rough spots (cascades, wolf animation), but all else looks good. Some of the locations (clifftop town and valley) just have a great sense of scale. It's top of the list for me this year. Can't wait to get my hands on the Creation Kit.

I have not played the other elder scroll games and I have no intention too.
Would it be alright to play this one?

Yep, each one is a different story at a different time but in the same world.Drealmcc0y said:

It might even work in your favor. My first one was Oblivion and it not only blew me away but it completely changed my gaming tastes. Went from a lifelong jrpg guy to now hating them (well, ok Oblivion wasn't the sole reason, but it started my transformation).
Then I start browsing here in 07 and everyone tells me Oblivion sucks cause it's not Morrowind. Didn't change the way I feel about Oblivion one bit.

No. Final Fantasy - aside from small examples - exist in different worlds. The Elder Scrolls, while often consisting of different continents - are all part of the same world and ties to each of the games can be found. The stories themselves are independent in the sense that the over-arching tales tend to revolve around a single quest - but the games are definitely interrelated. With that said, there is no issue starting with this one... But for the full flavor, you'd be missing out.

Sweet day 1 buy.
I really liked Fallout 3 and that was Bethesda.

It looks stunning, but I don't see much else being new. It's still TES, after all.
Edit: Also, the entire Dragon/Dragonborn/The-chosen-one story is incredibly lame. I know fantasy games are generally terrible in this department, but this is taking the cake. Still looks nice, of course.

I got home, saw the trailer and was mindblown.
Then I came to GAF for reactions and saw that the footage is 360... mindblown ^ infinite. I did watch the trailer on low quality. Perhaps it's more evident that it's 360 in full-res. Still amazing though.
Skyrim, Deus Ex, Witcher 2, and in a different way (though I expect it to be high quality) Crysis 2... gonna be a good year.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
This (along side Dead Island debut trailer) should be played in the movie theaters. They are extremely epic and could bring in even the most jaded of casual gamers to give it a try. I haven't been this impressed by a trailer since..... Dead Island, and before that, Gears of War (madworld version).
Gaming companies are really stepping it up this year!

Not just nostalgia. Morrowind did many things better than Oblivion. And IMO Daggerfall did many things better than MW. Each new TES game has taken a few steps forward and a few steps back. Although I'm already convinced Skyrim will best Oblivion in every conceivable way.

I still remember leaving the sewers for the first time in Oblvion. That was such a great sight to see. I hope the beginning of Skyrim is as memorable. What sort of character are you guys planning on building the first time around? I pretty much always start things off as a stealthy wood elf thief type character.

I can't believe that is 360 footage.
Simply impossible. Just like the footage they put out before the 360 launch of oblivion had shadows and everything, I'm sure this will be dialed back a bit.. it has to be, right??

Animations still seem a little stiff to me. But heads don't look nearly as mutie and they seem to have a properly operable lighting model. Environments are, of course, very nice to look at, but that's something that Elder Scrolls has generally done well with.
Beyond that, it's hard for me to make any kind of judgement. I expect I'll probably enjoy it. I look forward to hearing about what kind of "streamlining" they do with all of the mechanics.

The landscapes kinda feel like Morrowind. Don't get me wrong, Morrowind=/= Skyrim in terms of lore or landscape, but I feel that it's more exotic like Morrowind. Cyrodiil felt a lot more domestic and well... bland.
I want to go "holy shit" when I find a new region or part of the world.
That sounds rather stereotypical on my part, though. I mean, you have great games like GoW, Bulletstorm (IMO, it's a "meh"), Counter Strike (oh hell yeah), Team Fortress 2, etc. that don't rely on a plot to be fun. But that does leave a lot of people to still consider games as excuses for killing things.
Eh, I'm not sure where I wanted to go with that one.

That has actually got me thinking. I think that even during this decade, games are still considered alternatives to killing things, with the plots just being excuses to kill everything. It's great to see great plots emphasized in trailers, putting the consumer into the realm of "I want to find out what happens next" as opposed to "YEAH THIS GAME IS GONNA BE AWESOME IMMA KILL EVERYTHING!" It's not like we were helping our case in the first place, but as an industry, we're learning.Skiesofwonder said:
