FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

FOUND IT !

[psman012]

Damn, i need to create an account :(

So I found it on eurogamer or something, and I must say, I was fairly unimpressed. I hoped for some raw gameplay, not another trailer. Still really cool though!

[MitchGE]

It was in-game footage and that's just as important right now. The game looks beautiful and runs perfect so far. You can tell it's on a different engine just as Bethesda said. Yes we'll have to wait and see actual gameplay to judge it fairly as Oblivion/Fallout 3/NV all had performance issues, but seeing in-game footage this soon is a good sign. Also, the dragons are badass.

[captain-obvious]

this should be BUG FREE
if not
im no buying the game

and isn't that the same day uncharted 3 coming out in ??

[Bloodraid]

Asking any game this generation to be bug free is a fairly unrealistic expectation. But asking of it an open world sandbox game the size of Elder Scrolls is ridiculous.

And to answer your question; no. Uncharted 3 comes out 11-1-11. This comes out 11-11-11.

[jrbeerman11]

so for everyone planning on buying both uncharted and skyrim, hope you can beat uncharted 3 in a couple weeks, because you wont touch it for awhile after that.

TES games demand ALL your free time, and will get it too.

Cant wait.

[chainer3000]

@captain-obvious, an open world game on the scale of Skyrim, like previous Beth games, simply will not be bug free due to the freedom and mod tools they give to you.

I do agree that they should be LESS bug filled then the latest adaptations of Fallout (fallout 3 and all it's expansions, for instance)... that said, I do not find Oblivion to be overly buggy, only that it sometimes requires a reload so save often and it's not game breaking. Fall out 3: New Vegas was much better off than previous versions, so I have good hope that they are doing a lot of bug testing for this game. I'm sure they want it to be a GOTY runner so...

[WhittO]

Looks amazing! Have to say gameplay looks ALOT like oblivion but with better graphics, not that's a bad thing really..

Also, I hope Uncharted 3s launch isn't overshadowed!

[ASTAROTH]

First ... the game looks amazing. EPIC is an understatement. Based on the time I spent playing Oblivion this game is going to consume my time. Second I dont think it will overshadow Uncharted 3. Come on guys!!! they are both extremely different games!!!!!!!

If you are looking at a sales point It will based on the multiplatform status and the 360 fanbase wich I think is bigger (based on Oblivion's sale) than the PS3 fanbase. If you are looking at a technical standpoint... again they are different. Uncharted is a more cinematic experience and Skyrym is an open (huge world) action FPS/ RPG.

Also the PS3 userbase is going to favor Uncharted 3... just the same way they favor inFAMOUS over Prototype, GT5 over NFS and KZ3 over Bulletstorm. I will get them both on my PS3( That of couse if Bethesda make a good multiplatform version on the PS3). If not I will get it on my 360. Its going to be good to be a gamer... and no it would not overshadow UNCHARTED 3... both games are going to brigth in their own turf, just as Gears 3, Resistance 3, KZ3, Crysis 2, inFAMOUS 2, etc, etc.

[Spydiggity]

considering the last 2 uncharteds could be beaten in one sitting, i don't think that will be a problem.

[Lawliet]

blahblahblah.. Totally off-topic. Love TPS than stick with Uncharted3, Love RPG than stick with Skyrim is that simple. Don't need a debate. Just get both game and play them till your heart's content! The best man win!

[aviator189]

Yes, I am ready to fight the dragons now.

[chainer3000]

Man, I wish Skyrim would come out way before or way after UC3. I am going to be playing both an unhealthy amount... already preordered both.

To many AAA games coming to the video game scene in a 3 month period (Oct - December 2011)

[MagicAccent]

Thanks man! Didn't work for me either.

On topic: Hearing the Elder Scrolls theme always gives me goosebumps.
But even without it...

Well, let's just say im seriously considering faking my own death in november, so that I can play it from start to finish without having to worry about that pesky "real life"-thingy :P

Also, thank you Bethesda for not making it an mmo! :D

[Daver]

Did he transform in dragon? XD because that would be awesome lol

[Omega Archetype]

Looks sick!

[DarkSpawnClone]

-drools-

I am speechless,this is so great.
11:11:11 BRB getting my pre-orders now :D

[syanara]

11-11-11 an epic game needs an epic release date, the trailer looks sick. though I just finally got away from my oblivion addiction!

[NukaCola]

Getting Uncharted on Nov 1st and playing the crap out of it up until the 10th. Midnight buy. I am stoke this looks to be even better than Morrowind and that was my favorite one.

[superadvanced]

i hope i dont have to play as that guy

[mattkelly1991]

have you ever played an Elder Scrolls game? You make your own guy.

[SaiyanFury]

I loved the Viking-infused Morrowind theme, that was fantastic. The in-game footage was absolutely stunning. Vibrant, colourful, smooth, and detailed. Much more so than any other game by Bethesda this generation on any console. Wonderful. It's no wonder that this is singlely my most anticipated game this year. I don't usually wish for the passage of time, but come on November 11th!

[jrbeerman11]

This has to be my most anticipated year for video games to date. there is so much to be excited for and it looks like the industry is saving the best for last.

[ReservoirDog316]

Oh I hate that spider.

Other than that, might be the best game ever. And looks no where as stiff as Oblivion and FO3 did.

Yay November.

[FinalSpartan]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Y YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

OMDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSS

Faints*

[ReservoirDog316]

OMD?

Just curious.

[No Way]

Oh my...... dragons! :)

[FinalSpartan]

OH MY DAYS

[Lamarthedancer]

All I get for the youtube is

"The Video is not yet processed"

[Agent_S]

Well here's the one I just watched with no problem
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Julie]

The music is from Morrowind!!! Yaaaaay! i can't believe it! :D

Is the music from Morrowind but with voices :)

[rawrockkillz]

WOW!! That looks pretty much amazing!

[lastdual]

Indeed. A thing of beauty.

God those new towns look awesome. And everything... Gaaah! *explodes in nerdgasm

Edit: For those having trouble with main page or waiting for Youtube to process, it's now up on Gametrailers as well!

[FishCake9T4]

Battlefield 3 and now TES5
This years gonna be epic.

[danmachine]

That's just Fricking amazing when I saw the video had been posted on Facebook I raises my arms in spontaneous joy and smacked my elbow against my bed post.

It was worth the pain though it looks so amazing it felt like my heart was goIng to stop as I watched it.

I need a super duper uber gaming pc for this I'd glady shell out hundreds of pounds on a new gaming platform just for this at ultra settings and the mods of course.

It is going to be fricking intense

[The Meerkat]

I just watched it. And it is awesome.

[karl]

yep...

it looks fucking awesome..
it will be this game and not crysis that will make me buy a gaming PC....

[hassi94]

Looks fantastic. Not sure on whether I should get it for Xbox or PC. I know the benefits of PC but I just kinda enjoy playing on Xbox more :P

[jrbeerman11]

if you played oblivion on pc you would never want to touch your xbox 360 again. or at least make it stand in the corner in timeout for awhile

but seriously oblivion has the best mods, including some great overhauls and xp modes. worth getting a gaming pc for that even before skyrim.

with the gaming pc you know that if theres something about skyrim you were dissapointed in.... some guys with same opinion will change it for you.

[hassi94]

Yeah, I hope there's a demo for both, I have a gaming PC already so that's not an issue.

Hell I might end up getting both! :)

[gravemaker]

best western rpg ever?

[The Meerkat]

I think you'll find that RDR is the best western RPG ever.

[gravemaker]

RDR is not RPG...

[NnT3291]

RDR? you mean Red Dead Redemption? It's not RPG dude

[The_Ultimate_Guy]

RDR was an RPG? Not my version of it.

I think currently Mass Effect holds the title for best western RPG. Looking forward to playing Skyrim to see if the title once again belongs to The Elder Scrolls IP.

[The Meerkat]

LOL.

Well Skyrim ins't a Western.

YeeHaw

[Eamon]

lol Meerkat fail.

When gravemaker said "western" he meant western developers not the movie genre.

And RDR isn't an RPG /facepalm

[The Meerkat]

Wow, everyone is a bit serious here on N4G today.

[MrChow666]

lol Meerkat is just trying to pull a joke, stop being so nerdy

[spandexxking]

well elder scrolls IS srs business!
but yeah i found it funny

[MariaHelFutura]

Mass Effect 1 is the best WRPG this gen so far, IMO.

[tom01278]

Ha, just disagreed before I got the joke.
Is that what fanboy rage feels like? :)

Have a couple of "funny" bubbles to make up for the disagrees.

P.S. Trailer brought tears to my eyes, can't wait for this game :'D

[The Meerkat]

tom01278

Thank you kindly, pardner.

[Eamon]

LMAO. Meerkat, It feels like you are trying to disguise your mistake as an attempted joke.

And did you know? The internet is serious business =P

[Raendom]

Oh, Elder Scrolls, it's been too long. :')

[Coffin87]

Agreed!!! =)
This year *has* to be one of the best years of gaming, simply because the Next-Gen Elder Scrolls is hitting the earth. That's pretty much enough for me to lighten up the whole year.

[Lirky]

Nice theme too and in game town footage.

[Julie]

Theme is from Morrowind but with voices :)

[Nac]

The underlying melody has really become the "Elder Scrolls" theme; Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim have used it.

What stands out to me is the part at the end. It reminds me of Upper Taris from KotOR. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Jeremy Soule was the composer for both, so that might be a reason they sound a little similar.

[Julie]

Hmm i don't remember this song on Oblivion and i played it on PS3, 360 and PC like 200 times lol:
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Arena or daggerfall didn't have that theme if i remember well :)

But ty a lot for to let me know the composer name, now i have to find more about him! :)

[Nac]

No, not the "song" itself, but the melody.
starts at around :17 http://www.youtube.com/watc...

It began with Morrowind and has really been present since.
You can hear it at 1:10 in the Skyrim trailer.
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Xfanboy]

chills!! & I can't believe they will be releasing the creation kit for PC!!

[Thrillhouse]

Seeing the mods done for Morrowind and Oblivion only makes me giddy at what will be done in Skyrim! :D

[awi5951]

Man will someone please make a 4 player multiplayer mod on pc. Man this is a game i would love to play with my friends. This game would be so epic with more than one player.

[Ve3tro]

Heres the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Video should be embedded now.

[NicSage]

11.11.11 can't come soon enough.

[earbus]

Looks fantastic but i hate dragons period mythology or in games ill give it a miss dragons fail for me.

[CYBERSNAKE]

I don't think you understand, in this game you get to KILL dragons.

[earbus]

Dragons are in i wont play a game with dragons in it period the reason i never played dragon age.I dont watch movies with dragons either just dont like that magic fantasy thing sci fi is more my style .

[r2kcipher]

Dragons probably burnt down his village.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

You make it seem as if you were molested by a dragon when you were younger or something..

Seriously, why so much hate for it?

[earbus]

I just find them really lame no disrespect to dragon fans but dragons, magic just bore the piss out of me just but then again i hated lord of the rings to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[Arnon]

What about Sci-fi dragons? Like in Phantasy Star?

[jrbeerman11]

all i can think about is the miller lite commercial with "whats wrong with my dragons"...

was that you?

[CJOHHHHH]

This man has obviously never enjoyed a quality game.

[tapaz]

so much epicness... made my legs shake.. not joking

[Eamon]

This looks pretty promising. Hopefully, Bethesda will fix all of Oblivion's flaws in this one.

[awi5951]

Unlock other games the glitches is what makes the elderscroll games fun like. Flying and infinite item and money glitches lol. Im sure people will find fun glitches in this one as well lol.

[nevermore]

And the GOTY goes to Skyrim

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Yep I am ready to vote right now.

[Furu]

Downloadlink for HD-video;

[Coffin87]

THANK YOU very much. I usually don't click on those links, but... Elder Scrolls.. I mean.. that's a different thing.

[DeviateFish]

Oh my various gods. I am speechless. I have no speech. Speech is absent from me. No speech.

[DoctorXpro]

another 10/10 RPG from Bethesda Love IT

[dragonclawf4]

dlskacnlsadkmsakdopsadkadsopks dopdkaosdp;.,l;ska;ldksa

sorry i was wiping this jizz off my keyboard.

[Hazmat13]

how original asdfgh4e5rft6gs4ed5rft6g7asfsd hgj sorry i had to wipe the ectoplasm off my keyboard. lol

[SuperLupe]

I dont like the first person view of the elder scrolls games so I've never really got into them.

I really hope they make a decent 3rd person view and I'll be getting this for sure.

[cantellmenuthin]

elder scrolls does have a 3rd person view

[SuperLupe]

Yeah but it sucks, its more a pain than anything else playing with the 3rd person view.

[Arnon]

They said they were completely revamping the 3rd person aspect of the game.

[ASSASSYN 36o]

This is going to be the greatest rpg ever. The dragons look extremly impressive. Bethesda can have my money yet again. They earned it.

[elbeasto86]

Look awesome!! With this and Uncharted 3 November is gonna be an expensive month.

[Crystallis]

Its going to be an expensive Fall let alone an expensive November.

[LunaticBrandon]

I know you guys are excited but don't expect it to look like that on Xbox 360 or PS3. The environments looked great.

[Raider69]

Just look at the drawing distances!Thats obvious the PC version shown!

[Capdastaro]

That was the xbox/console version so yeah...

[Agent_S]

Yea like Capdastaro said they captured this trailer on Xbox 360. Its been confirmed by Bethesda.

[Tinasumsum]

What he said

[Raider69]

I just hope they end the loading...loading..loading screen that we all get wend playing oblivion V!Especially in outside environments!Lets hope its more like Fallout 3, no loadings on the nuclear wasteland!

[Krakn3Dfx]

Looks good, hopefully Skyrim doesn't continue the ongoing tradition of Elder Scrolls games shrinking in land size with every new sequel.

[Der_Kommandant]

Holy Mother of God

[iNMyFiN4LH0uR]

OH GAWD....MY KEYBOARD....ewwwwww

[spandexxking]

dat music! in the original teaser i was a bit worried they got a new theme but that made me happy!

[macky301]

Trailer is awesome,.. Music especially,..
Please!! make a relatively functional third-person view this time!!
Cannot wait to get it!!! (better start saving cash, because the end of the year is just so damn packed)

[godslayer429]

there goes another 100 hours of my life

[MariaHelFutura]

there goes another 300 hours of my life

Fixed.

:)

[Der_Kommandant]

My girlfriend's going to dump me!

[Lovable]

She already did a preemptive strike. She's with me now...

[rob_gamestribe]

More like 300!

[Are_The_MaDNess]

will be like 700 for me X/

[Raider69]

Actually on Oblivion V i had 93hours of gameplay with only 3 main quest missions made!I really loved ridding my horse an seeing the views,not to mention all the dungeons i went!

[wallis]

HOLY SHIT!? DID YOU FUCKING SEE THAT!? did you see that!?!?!?

with the axe and the dragon and the woosh and the slicing and the executions adn the FUCKING AXE IN THE THROAT!

OH MY GOD MY FUCKING BALLS

[danieldeath]

Its being a loong time ..

[Winckle]

The music is awesome!

[Bellcross]

This looks amazing it's about time a New elder scroll was release i played the hell out of oblivion. I just finished Fallout new Vegas yesterday and I can't wait to get my hands on Skyrim. I only hope it doesn't have as much bugs as Fallout 3 and New Vegas had, they were almost unplayable but I still enjoyed them both.

[InfiniteJustice]

Looks so damn good. Great to see the new engine in action!

[lochdoun]

Amazing trailer!

[AngelicIceDiamond]

I'm feelin the new engine of the game. Definitely gonna make for some new beautiful, breathtaking, inspiring new vistas can't wait everybody.

[stuntman_mike]

hopefully the fighting mechanic will be better than oblivions "child waving a stick" combat.

[TheNocturnus]

*Looks at wallet*... *looks at old lady carrying $64.92*
Yeah, I'd push that old lady down, steal her money to buy this game. Don't judge me... you would too.

[Mr Lahey]

Holy Crap! Looks amazing!

I really Hope the world is huge! Like Elder Scrolls 2!! That would be sweeeeet!

[RGB]

Game of the Year material right there!

Looking to be the best year in gaming ever!

[SwampCroc]

I'm definitely gonna bust me up some dragons... make sure and get under those scales...

[beavis4play]

i found it average action/rpg fare. i don't see what the major excitement is about.
i'm sure i'll play it - but not before the price drops by at least half.

[byeGollum]

that was amazing quality
that new engine they got really shines

regardless of what platform its running on ...
third party developers are really going all out .. hot damn
crytek, bethesda, DICE... God Bless us all.

[Shani]

Looks really amazing.
I hope - to understand the story I don't have to get other games of the series.

[MrChow666]

dont worry, thats very unlikely

[Shani]

Hope u r right.

[Ve3tro]

I added subtitles to the video in several languages, just in-case anyones main language isn't English.

[Shinuz]

Yeah the graphics are really nice, but i hope they don't dumb down the gameplay just like they did with oblivion (removing skills and such)

[rybobales]

excuse me while i change my pants..

[-Gespenst-]

This looks positively BEAST.

[AceofStaves]

So many hours of my life will be consumed by this game. I can't wait for this High Fantasy RPG feast.

[astrobrights]

Looks amazing.. I wish I could speed up time and make November get here early.

[YodaCracker]

This would have been the most epic trailer ever to have as the game's first reveal to the world, instead of that crappy teaser they had at the 2010 VGAs. This should have been the debut trailer!

[oweowe]

Seriously, Uncharted 2's graphic looks better than this.

[Firstkn1ghT]

LOL! I wouldn't expect a lil mind from a sony fanboy to understand the difference between the size of Skyrim compared to a rail shooter like Uncharted.

Anybody else need any more proof which fanboys are the most clueless?

[oweowe]

Dude, I am talking about "GRAPHICS", nothing else.
Again, Uncharted 2's graphics is better than this Skyrim so far, period.

[Firstkn1ghT]

LOL! I rest my case. Sony fanboys are the dumbest.

[Hayabusa 117]

...And Crysis looks better than Uncharted.

The circle of stupidity is now complete.

[Eiffel]

Uncharted 2 is also extremely and I mean extremely linear. And you're comparing graphic detail lacking in a huge sanbox game? O...kay then...

[Neko_Mega]

I would like to see more, but so far awesome.

[Firstkn1ghT]

G O T Y ! ! ! ! ! !

[hellzsupernova]

yes please i cannot wait for this game must buy for me. :D

[Morituri]

Lies back and lights one up...

Hope that was as good for you guys as it was for me...

[Hayabusa 117]

ZOMG! Can't wait!

[Mister_G]

Wow! :D

Edit: Pre-ordered

[EditorAtGNG]

I never really got into Oblivion / Morowind but this does look incredible.

[amguitarman]

What is this sensation that I'm feeling? Is this what it means to "nerd-gasm"?

[PandaJenkins]

GOTY :)

[Hunkalicious_G]

That was extremely amazing!

[Droid Control]

No.1 game for me this year.

[Merivigian]

I applaud the changes, can't wait for this! Definitely a preorder special edition!

[Rettom]

I thought Bethesda liked the PS3 more than Xbox 360 though... :(

[jalen247]

Looks great

[kesvalk]

*hears the theme of morowind*
i think i need new pants...

[Kingscorpion1981]

Holy shit, what is this?
Forged in God's very flames.

Do mine eyes tell me lies,
A new Elder Scrolls Game?

Time is nigh, I must fly,
Venture forth on my quest.

Goodbye Ma, goodbye Pa
And goodbye Girlfriend's breasts.

I'll be off Azeroth, catch you later Hyrule.
I'll be gone Albion, I'm no longer your fool.

Other crap filled the gap
While I waited to begin...

The adventure of my life
in the land of Skyrim!

[aaronobst]

Dont get too excited.. You always get way too worked up about trailers!

[Kingscorpion1981]

LOL!

[Tru_Blu]

Have they said anything about if the environment is going to level up with you or the traditional way? Either way I'm getting it day 1 but really hope it's the traditional leveling system.

[ATiElite]

Yeh for Skyrim. looks good for the amount of stuff packed into this epic adventure.

I guess they will just port this to the PC :( Hopefully they do something to take advantage of the PC beside KB/M support.

[Pledius]

I hope TES V would have built-in gameplay and etc that had to be implemented by mod community from Oblivion so that it's polished.

I'm sure loads of mod will be made for this game too but I just hope some of core things like battle system has been improved based on how mod community made it with TES IV.

but so far new engine looks great. Hopefully we don't get to see NPCs getting stuck on things

[Drake117]

Love the gandalf style lol sword and staff. This game is gona b so freaking sick!

[reckoner]

I never usually say this... but...

GOTY 2011 confirmed.

[Master_S]

OMG is Xbox 360 version,look awesome.

PS3= BAD PORT.

[bozebo]

what? the ps3 port of oblivion was really good...

[darkvenom]

pre-ordered!: ),wait!I wonder if they're going to have a collectors edidtion?

[bozebo]

Durrr... I need a new graphics card.

This elder scrolls has a good soundtrack again :P Hopefully they will have learnt from their good job on Oblivion and this one should be a masterpiece.

Morrowind - 300 hours gameplay
Oblivion - 100 hours gameplay
Skyrim - how much can they really fit on a dvd with the texture demands these days?

[Tru_Blu]

Damn 360 holding back games yet again with it's neanderthal dvd. Before you flame, that was at Master_S. PS3 could be 1 disc and pc install from a few dvd's. But that damn 360 is gonna gimp another game yet again :(

[bozebo]

yeah.

To be honest, microsoft knew the dvd would be an issue that was why they were interested in hddvd.

If they shipped xboxes with hddvd drives built in then the situation would be different. It is really annoying, they always try to get the 360s graphics on par with other platforms - the console has the performance (just) to do so but it puts so much demand on the dvd's capacity and limits how much content the game can have on all platforms. For linear games they can use multi-disk, but it can't be done for open world. Also, they are forcing the trend of in-game custscenes - which isn't as big a problem though. They should allow developers to make a proper install application rather than just using a virtual disk, that way the game could store resources on a 2nd disk that you install (even a small 2GB install would open up huge possibilities) then play the game off the other disk. The reason they don't do that is it could open up vulnerabilities to crack the console - not that it can't be done anyway :/

the dvd limitation is why gta 4 had so little extras and why dynasty warriors 6 was just another clone of the previous one (bar a few small character changes etc), just 2 examples of dvds being out of date. That said though, more content generally means more manpower and time required to make the game = more costs, and it would still retail for the same price so it's not really worth their time. What are microsoft going to do next gen, don't sony own part of the Blu-ray license? Looks like it will have to be digital download which has other issues, but microsoft might encourage isps to improve which could be good for us all.

edit:
xboxes having to do on-the-fly unpacking whereas PCs use an install procedure. A PC game can have about 15GB on a DVD (slow to unpack but it only does it once and the time limitation won't affect gameplay) but a 360 can only fit about 7 Gb because it has to decompress things in real time - which also makes the disk spin really loud and hot. If hddvd took off though, usb would have limited data transfer speeds, so I am not sure what microsoft where up to.

/technical stuff

[Tech-N9ne]

wonder how much time i would spend on this GOTY 2011!
The Elder Scrolls is Back Once Again!

[aaronobst]

The final nail in my social life coffin

[Big_Dom]

Makes you wonder, if a 360 can render this, then what can a top-end PC be capable of now? Hopefully we get to see that real soon.

[zero_cool]

@Bloodraid Since when are really buggy games acceptable because i say that's load bullshit!
