mimartin Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 How odd. Yeah, people running from a dragon does seem a bit odd to me too. Hadn't seen it ChAiNz, thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Please describe for me the demographic that makes purchasing decisions based on a live-action trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Does that include the cinematics for TOR when you ask that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I can't describe the demographic, but I found one person that seems to like them. Dragon Rage Abounds In Live-Action Skyrim Trailer Not really sure the live action trailer is designed to introduce someone to Skyrim and then influence them to buy. It seems to me designed to push those that already looking at Skyrim to purchase it. Get a buzz for the word of mouth campaign too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan7 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm hoping this is a phase. For Mim or the developers? @topic; the Graphics are looking really good for Skyrim, though not sure how well my current rig would handle it these days!

DarthParametric Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Does that include the cinematics for TOR when you ask that?Since when did TOR have live-action trailers? ME3 is the only other upcoming game I can think of that has done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Drexl Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I guess he's talking about the CG trailers. I definitely think they fall into this realm since they look nothing like TOR's cartoony crap. I like the live-action trailer here even though it's a pretty weird thing to have... but still, soo psyched for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 CG is CG, not live action. The TOR trailers are a long way from photo-realistic. And as far as the "cartoony crap" goes, the in-game Malgus looks pretty damn good, the in-game Satele Shan and scarface trooper guy less so, but still recognisable. There's less disconnect between the two extremes. A live action trailer for a game is just weird. I felt the same way about the ME3 live action news report trailer.

ChAiNz.2da Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 @topic; the Graphics are looking really good for Skyrim, though not sure how well my current rig would handle it these days! Funny you should say that. Skyrim system requirements announced Skyrim’s launch is less than three weeks away!!

"The Min specs get you playing. The recommended specs let you play on High, not on Ultra. You'll want beefier rig for that."

Achilles Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Ooo. I have 6 cores and a GTX 560 w/ DX11. Here's hoping mine can push "Ultra". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimartin Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Internet Access for Steam activation this is just getting annoying...Sometimes when the internet is down is the only time I have to play games. Expected, but annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hessian Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Well, I learned to play Oblivion with occasional stuttering back in the day. Looks like I'm gonna do the same with Skyrim, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Ooo. I have 6 cores and a GTX 560 w/ DX11. Here's hoping mine can push "Ultra". It's a console port with higher res textures (if you are lucky). Any halfway decent system from the last few years should be able to run it maxed out. The only limitation will be how poorly optimised their new engine is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 How to be a complete bastard in Skyrim And so, the tale of the Argonian warrior Toxic, foe to all that is friendly, erupted. I left the cave, set off into the forests with an echoing roar, fell down a waterfall and died. The water in this game looks terrific, by the way - multiple layers of froth and foam collapsing together like sheathes of lace-edged paper, spilling between planes of rock. Reborn and undeterred, I followed the path instead... Amusing review/story similar to the last one I posted. No spoilers. tl;dr warning for those not in to words.

I know they aren't live action, but the point is there not too far off in appearance, and look completely different than what the game looks like.

Salzella Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 ...I left the cave, set off into the forests with an echoing roar, fell down a waterfall and died. LOL. I need to read this thing now And then get this game. That I won't be able to afford for, like, 3 years. GAH:¬: edit: As genitals to wanton boys are we to the gaming gods - they play with us for their sport. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan7 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Great read Chainz, this actually made me "LOL" - Not far down it I met a hunter and his dog. The man approached, raising his hand in greeting, so I set him on fire. The dog didn't take this too well, so I set him on fire too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it long after I finished the game just to see all the cool sidequests I was missing out on. But still, 650 pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 640 pages of it are probably just pictures of dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 640 pages of it are probably just pictures of dragons. According to Prima Games, the Skyrim strategy guide contains a large map poster inside labeled with important locations, major roads, and hold capitals. It also has multiple character builds based on hundreds of hours of playtesting revealing exactly what skills, perks, equipment, and other items to pick, and how to advance through the game, no matter the type of character you want to be. In addition it shows where every rare item is ranging from Skill Books, Uniques, Weapons, every single Shout, Dragon Priest Masks, and much more! Wait, there's more!... http://www.gamezone.com/news/skyrim-strategy-guide-is-over-650-pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkonium Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 http://www.gamezone.com/news/skyrim-strategy-guide-is-over-650-pages Even if I don't think about the money, it sounds like I'm better off not buying it.

Weren't they trying to bring back the whole "wonder of discovery" feeling? Well.. it's Prima. It's what they do But yeah, I won't be buying it.. but there is a market for it, so I'd suspect for those people, this will be the "holy grail" of guides for Skyrim.. hehe. Me, I'm all for the (mis)adventures I'll most likely be having by being in the wrong place at just the wrong (right?) time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
