Yay. So I was checking the site and just noticed they got some screens up.
Considering how much Bethesda was flaunting their new tech… I’m not impressed. edit
Tod spilled the beans. It isn’t a new engine after all, just another reworking of Gamebryo. /edit
These are the best looking shots:
But hey, at least the people look somewhat normal:
I have immediately lost a large amount of interest I may have had in Skyrim.
That said, changing my interest from “orgasm-inducing anticipation” down to “pants-shittingly excited” doesn’t really change the fact that I will be addicted to Skyrim for the entirety of 2012.
I dunno, I’ve never really gotten into any Bethesda game as much as everyone always seems to and as much as they all make it out that I should, I dunno, everytime I pick up one of those games I always seem to want to go play a SNES RPG after a while of play.
I think it looks fine.
Can’t wait to slay all the NPC’s in this game too.
It will be EPIC to crush them all with the biggest hammer in the game!
I miss the Skull crusher from Morrowind sometimes when I’m killing NPC’s in Oblivion.
IMO the NPCs are still very solidly in Uncanny Valley. The ONLY game I’ve ever seen that doesn’t have characters in there is BF3. DICE is putting some killer effort into their characters, and it shows.
Dx11 support: 100% no, I’m betting no Dx10 either.
(S)He’s never been referred to as Colonel, always Commander within the games, that’s what threw me off, I’m thinking I know a Commander Shepherd from Mass Effect and General Shepherd from Modern Warfare 2 but no Colonel Shepherd.
Anyway, those screenies must be from a console version since it looks painfully low res.
Play thesetwo videos at the same time. Try to line them up exactly, or, following the comments, start the BF3 one ten seconds earlier. The first one has smaller parts well synchronized, and the second has the major events together.
