What do you guys think?

[OLDSKOOLACURA]

didn't show much, but I thought I heard about this awhile ago.

anyway it could either be badass or dumb, I believe there is a fine line with this. either way I'm looking forward to hearing more.

Not sure how I feel about this. The Elder Scrolls (along with Fallout) is my favourite game series. If this takes off, how likely are we to get a proper Elder Scrolls 6?

[ParkourVeyron]

Defiantly looks interesting. I don't own Skyrim or any ES game for that matter, but I have rented Skyrim and loved it. That being said, I hope this doesn't turn out to be a run-of-the-mill MMORPG.

Different studios.

They started up a second sub studio that is handling the MMO almost exclusively. They brought in guys that specifically work on MMOs to work on it and has been in development for two years at this point.

I have played dc universe online and the novelty wears off.

True. Must have been suffering from brain fade when I posted that. Still, as tempted as I am to dip my toes into the MMORPG world, I'm not sure I want another time draining hobby.

That's also not exactly a well reviewed MMO. Depends on the person I guess. I like them but have a problem with paying $15 a month and therefore don't at the moment. I'll be moving to pc gaming only next year and if one tempts me enough I may start playing them.

I like MMORPGS quite a bit, myself, and played a few in the past. I've got to agree, though, the novelty wears off after a while and it highly depends on the cummunity and your lifestyle, as to whether you can enjoy it or not. I, for one, can't be bothered to play a game where I havr to sit down for a few hours, just to get somewhere. Not anymore, at least.

But I'll definitely keep an eye ond ES, just because I always thought that Elder Scrolls was basically a perfect fit for an MMO spin off.

[papaspurs]

I was terrified of this. I've put 700 hours into the past two elder scrolls games and I've managed to avoid playing any mmo's apart from a few months eve. Fortunately, it looks rubbish, no first person, no real time combat, no elder scrolls for me

That trailer reveals nothing unfortunately. Will we still have the first person view that is TES or will it be more WOW/TOR style 3rd person? Will it stick with TES's formula for charecter development and combat or will we have another WOW number crunch? I have a lot of questions and apart from it being announced that it's happening not much else is revealed. I'm finding it hard to get excited when I'm worried that we might just end up with another WOW clone. looking at DPS and etc simply does not excite me. I'm struggling to play TOR at present as well due to the game formula, but I'm hanging in their just cause its Star Wars and the story is well written. I honestly hope it doesn't head down the same path.

Edit: just read that Kotaku article in the above post. Disappointed. It is a WOW clone. I'm probably going to give this a miss, which is a shame as I've played and own ever other TES title.

[CMvan46]

Well apparently a ton of information coming this month leading up to E3 in June where a big reveal will happen. I don't remember where I read that though.

Well said there. If people like it they may prefer to play online Elder Scrolls rather than the traditional adventure we all know and love.
My perdonal opinion? NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!

Same feelings here, at first I thought this could be something really special if we basically did get Skyrim online on all systems, join a world based on difficulty level and go questing with people (not sure about PvP in that sort of environment, frankly it doesn't much need it). Totally disappointed.

9-min Introduction

[Luminis]

The newest trailer seems to suggest that there is, indeed, a very TES-esque combat system. If they manage to actually give us an actual TES game that allows me to just play with other folks, I'm going to spend a lot of time playing it.

I'm also amazed by how good it looks. Guess I'll have to get a new computer to run it properly, though, but I'm planning to do so anyways within the next few monts

[Bram Turismo]

As a previous WoW player I really got the feeling this game is WoW with next-gen graphics.

Exploring the map, gathering quests to level up. Mass PvP and guild raids, it really sounds like WoW.

I think what will be crucial for the game is what they will keep in Skyrim online from previous games. Even though it is an online game, I still feel there should be some individual quest lines for you to follow. Or merely helping out townsfolk, or buying your own property to making your own potions or armor.

I just hope it doesn't turn too much into a WoW copy because I will already say I don't like the looks of the mass-PvP play bit in the video.

Alliances At War developer video

[Luminis]

They talk about the gameplay advantages of having three factions. The biggest advantage has been left unmentioned, though, an advantage that made itelf appearent as early as in dark Age of Camelot: Three factions balance each other out if one gets too strong in PvP.

Talking about balance, I'd say that the alliances received a good mix of races. I usually pick a favourite very easily, but this time around, all factions seem to have a race I'd like to play as. Seems like a good way to experience all sides of the game

[NLxAROSA]

If this game is going to be as awesome as I think it will be, this will be my only game for quite a long time.
