Support NeoGAF

[GulAtiCa]

I might get this. Skyrim on the go excites me.

 

[lwilliams3]

Nobody wants this.

Speak for yourself, please.

Next year another Elder Scrolls will be announced and it won't be on Switch.

We will see. If this game sells well, that would increase its chances.

 

[BizzyBum]

I played so much Skyrim already...

Who am I kidding, I'll probably buy it.

 

[Phoenixus]

I hope the smash bros link amiibo unlocks it as well. Otherwise, looking good! Watch Bethesda release this at the same time as BotW dlc pack 2.

 

[Haines]

outside of being open world games they aren't very similar though.

But i cNt imagine this being as good

 

[Neonep]

Eh let me be wrong or whatever don't really care that much.

 

[Moondrop]

Motion controls might actually pair well with the pool noodle feel of melee combat.

I'm intrigued, but hope we hear something about modding support.

 

[TheHoneyDuke]

Almost like the Switch itself. Hope they do restock when the game comes out.

There is suppose to be a restock around the time botw dlc comes out.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Breath of the Wild created an audience, Skyrim is an evergreen game, I have no doubt that its going to sell atleast ok

 

[Gaiaknight]

I think GAF is going to be quite surprised at how well portable Skyrim will sell.

alot of gaf didnt think the remaster would do well either alot of people underestimate skyrims popularity.

 

[Grimmi]

Damn, I already own Skyrim three times. The motion control looks nice though. Might quadruple dip.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

"Nobody wants this" followed by an inevitably large thread largely consisting of enthusiasm is classic Gaf.

 

[Last_colossi]

I am very curious about what framerate and resolution this is running at as it's cleary running at 60fps during about 10-15 seconds of the trailer but around 30fps for the rest: Youtube

Also I fully agree that the song choice was one of the weirdest I've ever seen but why all the hate for Passion Pit? Gossamer is a fantastic album.

 

[TronWayne]

Yeah and they are out of their minds how over the top they reacted. "I don't want this so what the fuck"

Yeah, it was silly. I don't understand what people don't get. Skyrim is extremely popular and it's now portable.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

But i cNt imagine this being as good

it's not the same. look into it instead of just assuming it can't be as good. it's pretty solid, and I can imagine having shitloads of fun with it if you've never played another game like it before.

 

[sinonobu]

Seems like a decent port!

I'll be getting this day 1

 

[K' Dash]

No release date unveil bodes ill for a release this year.

Everything they showed will come out this year.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Eh let me be wrong or whatever don't really care that much.

Sounds Good

 

[Vena]

Nobody wants this.

Looked absolutely terrible.

Easy Allies guys ripping it to shreds right now

GAF and, now, EA (considering what they said on their recent podcast) have no sense of what Skyrim is to a more casual audience. Like, I don't understand how some of you can be so tone deaf to this game, especially after we already went through this with the remaster and how well it sold to what should not have been the surprise of anyone.

 

[wildfire]

This game is gonna get a lot of hate since it's so old but I'm pretty excited to have a portable version, and one with Nintendo themed content at that. Also the motion controls didn't look terrible. I can't see myself using them ever but whatever. It's neat.

Day 1.

Arrow control looked good. The sword play looked like gesture gameplay. It makes sense because they would have to fundamentally change the mechanics to support 1 to 1 but I don't like it as much as the arrow controls.


What really matters to me is how they handle inventory management and spell/ weapon switching.



Other than that it looks good so far. I hope the lack of release date doesn't mean it will get pushed back beyond September. The longer the delay the more at risk of forcing people to choose between Skyrim and a new holiday title.

 

[reelbigtink]

Pachter's face killed me. Sorry I couldn't get a shot without the bar but lol

 

[Brofield]

Amiibo functionality and motion controls are icing on the cake. We're definitely getting the complete edition with all the DLC, so now all we need is confirmation this supports mods? Which I'm pretty sure is a yes, even if it is limited like PS4

I'm still expecting late September/early October release for this, and I personally cannot wait to play Skyrim for the first time.

 

[TheGamingBox]

I am very curious about what framerate and resolution this is running at as it's cleary running at 60fps during about 15-20 seconds of the trailer but around 30fps for the rest: Youtube

Also I fully agree that the song choice was one of the weirdest I've ever seen but why all the hate for Passion Pit? Gossamer is a fantastic album.

direct feed looked 60fps for the most part while off screen looked 30fps

 

[MatthewB92]

I love how this was the only switch game. Feels like an EA/WiiU thing. Get the one game and nothing else.

 

[Realeza]

Eh let me be wrong or whatever don't really care that much.

Then GTFO.

On topic, this is gonna be great portable.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Pachter's face killed me. Sorry I couldn't get a shot without the bar but lol

LOL Pachter LOL :0 with some drool on his bottom lip!

 

[DOWN]

I am already disgusted by the glimpse of that Link model we got lmao

but this is great news

 

[Admiral Woofington]

But i cNt imagine this being as good

if you're one of the gamers that once you play one title that is very good can't play any other title that is somewhat in the same ball park then I guess. But a shame if that's the case. Skyrim is by no means a perfect game, but it is very much THE perfect game to have on here after BotW. A huge time sink of a game for taking on long trips and plane trips.

 

[Gators300]

Looks awesome. Motion controls for aiming bows is awesome when implemented correctly. Graphics look great as well.

 

[Sesuadra]

Nobody wants this.

my wife will buy her own switch for this..and I want it too. That's already two games sold!

absolutely correct imho.

 

[-shadow-]

Pachter's face killed me. Sorry I couldn't get a shot without the bar but lol

I don't get the hate for him, this guy is great, His reaction is great!

 

[Last_colossi]

direct feed looked 60fps for the most part while off screen looked 30fps

Hmmm.. interesting, my expectations for this port were 720p at 30fps while docked so if they manage to even slightly beat that I will be shocked, let alone if it runs at 60fps.

 

[reelbigtink]

I don't get the hate for him, this guy is great, His reaction is great!

I don't hate Pachter at all. He seems like a nice enough dude.

His look of awe at Switch Skyrim made me chuckle is all.

 

[Neonep]

I love how this was the only switch game. Feels like an EA/WiiU thing. Get the one game and nothing else.

Probably the only game the Switch will get from Bethesda. The best they could do is a port of a game that came out 6 years ago on the previous generation.

 

[ohyouagain]

OK, this hand gesture for throwing arrows was impressive.

 

[redcrayon]

Motion control archery was one of my favourite aspects of the Wii Zelda games, looking g forward to trying that.

Re: popularity, Skyrim is an evergreen title, it was still in the top 20 selling games five years after release in some places.

 

[Kindekuma]

I'm guessing the release date will drop in Nintendo's presser?

 

[TheHoneyDuke]

I love how this was the only switch game. Feels like an EA/WiiU thing. Get the one game and nothing else.

You do know this is the first game they put out for a Nintendo console? Can't hate on them for testing the waters to see if their product sells to the Nintendo crowd.

 

[DecoReturns]

I'm guessing the release date will drop in Nintendo's presser?

I'm guessing. They did say everything they showed will release this year

 

[NimbusD]

Bizarre that people are bashing this game? Did people expect something different from this? The SE edition with a few switch specific stuff. Looks great..

 

[Neonep]

my wife will buy her own switch for this..and I want it too. That's already two games sold!

If you can find one.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Probably the only game the Switch will get from Bethesda. The best they could do is a port of a game that came out 6 years ago on the previous generation.

And now it's in portable form.

And it's going to sell at least a million units. Probably a lot more if it's a solid port.

A large portion of GAF continuing to be completely insular and unaware of the market.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Never played Skyrim; I'll give it a whirl.

 

[watershed]

The environments look nice but the character models have always been ugly to me in Skyrim and this looks to continue that. I think there are a lot of people who will enjoy Skyrim on Switch but I'll pass.

 

[Taekwonmaster]

Nobody wants this.

Believe it or not, this is the game that will sell me a switch, I now just need a dark souls trilogy from from software.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Nobody wants this.

Don't try to sneak and buy it Neonep.

 

[Effect]

Looks exactly​ like the special edition... What are you talking about?

This. We're of course going to need the comparison videos but at first glance that looks like the special edition graphics wise. What setting level it is should be the debate I think.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I'll triple dip. Maybe being able to play on the go will get me to finally finish it. Assuming I ever finish BotW, takes up all console time.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

If you can find one.

so we went from "nobody wants this" to "nobody can get it because there are no switches" ?

 

[Shadow Broker]

My only complaint is that Bethesda used some lame song instead of almost anything from Skyrim sound track. Other then that I'm happy with what I saw. I already have it preordered.
