First vid of The Elder Scrolls Online

The game looks great.

But I have heard all this before from other developers. I just hope this game doesn't end up like Guild Wars 2 with all the botting.
 
MMOs are usually a gamble that you lose on i feel like... so many have failed that i had high hopes for
 
Looks generic and boring as hell.

"Game really opens at lv 50"
"raids"
"pvp battlegrounds."

That's not why people play TES games at all.

All of us TES fans that asked for mp over the years, all we wanted was a simple co-op function, just you and a handful of ofriends to play together and explore the world, that's it.
 
If they could bring the "Skyrim experience" into an MMO, I'd love it... but good lord, it's time to upgrade my video card.

right?

Really just looks like a WoW without the cartoon-like graphics.

major Meh, Zenimax... learn to listen to your fanbase and put in some fuckin co-op.
 
looks good, a lot of the same stuff that guildwars 2 has.

I wonder how they will manage quests, in the video they showed towns people cheering because the guy cleared the werewolf invasion and the wolves were gone. So if you come back with a friend who hasn't done that quest what happens?
 
Everything they are saying that is defining features we already have in other MMO's and they are not defining. It looks generic as fuck.

Doesn't look different enough from GW2 for me to be interested in it, I haven't run into any bot issues, although I am fed up with the same guild bugging me.
 
I thought it looked pretty damn nice...

But I guess I was just some how....... thinking of the camera. I like it's distance a lot, and it doesn't look unpolished, even in that which is weird considering how buggy the games are.

This pretty much.

The game basically looks like any other MMO with a Elderscrolls themed skin.
 
Dear Bethesda and Zenimax,

Please make a co-op DLC for Skyrim.

I want to give you my money for that.

That is all,

Let's see how interesting this "real time combat" is going to be.
 
not getting my hopes up, the MMO scene is well to put it nicely poop, on the rails and all really just poop..

They mention in the video, like Skyrims.

So bascially, zero depth, zero skill, just whack a mole right click to block, left click to attack, hold to charge attack.

The melee combat is hands down one of the barest/most mind numblingy bad combat in any game, it's better then it used to be (IE morrowind, with it's to-hit die rolls) but by far no where near a "fun/skillful" combat system.

I'm playing Chivalry atm and it's melee combat system for a first person game is by far even better then Skyrims.
 
I don't know why they didn't just make a co-op addon for Skyrim, or make the next game have co-op.

It also looks like this is third-person only? Wtf?

I get what you're saying, but arent almost all MMORPG's 3rd person only?
 
Possibly, but I thought it was supposed to be Skyrim-like. Obviously you can do third-person in Skyrim, but I think the vast majority of people use first-person.

I don't know how Skyrim like the game will be. Really, none of TES devs are working on it.

I think the design goal was to make TESWoW, despite the PR statements.

Yea, but imagine how much better this game could have been if they made it more like Darkfall? Clearly they're too scared to venture far from the 'WoW'-model.

Yeah, sadly I think this is the case.

This x1000

I do enjoy raids and battlegrounds, but I already have World of Warcraft for that. I enjoyed all the Elder Scrolls games for their open ended sandbox style gameplay that lets you wander off and explore the game as you want to. Add coop that to their existing gameplay model and you'll have winner.

The style looks exactly like EQ2 IMO. I mean I know there is only so much you can do...but still. Looks really similar

How can they possibly not know this?

Remember ZeniMax Studios is doing this. Bethesda is only publishing it.

This. I love how butthurt everybody gets like they're losing something. Bethesda is still working on whatever they're working on and have nothing to do with the development of TESO
 
Did they say it was going to be a themepark? Or will it remain openworld sandbox?
 
I would not mind WoW without cartoon graphics at all. I think that would be awesome. I hope this game is good, but like others have said... A LOT of MMO's have let me down.

Calling it now:

TOR 2.0

I'm going to have to agree with you.

Does anyone know what engine this is using? I thought I remember reading a few months ago that it was using Hero (the same engine in TOR and Star Trek Online IIRC) and it's a really crappy engine for anyone without a very high spec PC.

But that is the least of my worries about TESO.

oO Zenimax owns Bethesda. Don't they?

Zenimax Media is the parent company. Zenimax Studios is like Bethesda Game Studios, I guess, where they just develop and don't handle publishing. Bethesda Softworks handles some publishing and developing.

There's only two MMO's right now that I care for: Wild Star and The Repopulation.
