    No gameplay at all.

    Love how everyone is playing right into Bethesda's hands.

    Everything shown in the new trailer has been confirmed to be 360 ingame by the devs themselves, so its safe to assume thats in game. Also showed a bunch of clips of hand casting, weilding weapons, third person views, first person archery, and area attack magic. I hope pc side gets some awesome tesselation to really make it shine. Showed a clip of a two hand casted magic spell, CANT WAIT.

    Nope no reqs yet, probably not till summer for sure, released date is 11.11.11. so we have a whole year to wait practically. But by the look of the spec you have on your lappy, it might be time to upgrade, it will most likely chug hard, I wonder if they will support dx9 even, it is a new engine and all. Regardless, start saving vacation pay so you can take 2 weeks to play the massive story this things sure to have.

    Pretty good graphics, very naturalistic game world. But the combat looks like a joke. Seeing the character swinging that sword like a windmill, it looked like Oblivion all over again. They need a smarter, smoother system like the one found in the Witcher.

    They just revamped it, there was no circle swing in oblivion, unless you modded, but vanilla oblivion had a pretty narrow cut combat system, hit block back up hit block magic repeat. This seems way more dynamic, better animations already thats for sure.

    Taking a second look at the trailer, and knowing the trailer is made from the 360 version, there are tons of flat textures and what not, so I'd say if you have a PC that can handle Oblivion Full now, I don't see this one pushing any harder, unless the pc version doesn't come with dx9 then you'll definitely need a new card.

    Side note, I hope they have a DX11 mod to make all these flat textures have some shape and form, or hopefully shortly after release someone builds a mod for it. That said I wonder if anyones made a DX11 mode for Oblivion yet!?

    Hopefully Skyrim is different than oblivion and fallout 3, I don't really see what the fuss was about with the latter. The only thing that made a lasting impression was the graphics in oblivion. The gameplay and story were just ok imo. After finishing the main story arc I never fired up either of these games, just couldn't get into it I guess. I really hope bethesda do something new here, can't wait to play it and see :)
