Take that with a hefty pinch of salt as oblivionvids had dynamic shAdows that we nEver got to see but looked cool in the promo videos.

Only because hardware at the time couldn't handle it. Things have changed. Even though consoles haven't changed much, coding certainly has. Can't wait to see a PC trailer.
 
The core Market for this Ie the consoles are unchanged from last item albeit cometic changes but the power available is the same so I doubt it will be a whole new generation of game as it's the same tired old engine.

It isn't the same engine though. It is a shame that consoles are holding this generation back, but that is the same with all games. Until we get new consoles we aren't going to see many games pushing the PC platform - I am not complaining, it has saved me a lot of money on hardware upgrades!
 
Anyone know if they have taken a leaf out of biowares book and used more than a couple of voice actors this time?
 
Just seen trailer and creamed myself again! November seems so far away, getting impatient already. Looks like this will be the the intro vid that comes on after the title screen in game I remember them doing the same thing with oblivian
 
The consoles have retarded the progression of graphics in games and to be honest I haven't minded too much as I had a 8800gt for ages and my 5850 has been doing well for this last year and no real need to upgrade yet, he'll it will most likely run this well as well. But next gen consoles will be more than welcome as it will pc games to take the next big step-up and this time round I might get release date console seeing how they been so effectively used and cost effective this time round
 
Unfortunately we prob won't see next gen consoles for another two or three years especially after only just seeing revised xbox 360s and the release of kinect Microsoft hoping to extend the life of them until around 2013-2015 :(

yeah tis a shame. i hope the kinect will work with the next xbox as it's very expensive, though given how long it'll be until the next gen are out as no mention of them have even been made yet we'll prob have kinect 2 by then.

Hopefully they come out before ES6 - unlikely I should imagine. Oh well, it was originally rumoured ES5 was going to be an MMO, so it could have been much worse :p
 
Finally got around to watching the trailer for this. It looks excellent in motion, which is something previous Eldar Scroll games weren't exactly famous for (lets be honest, the animations have always been fairly poor, especially in comparison to the graphics). It's piqued my interest, now lets just hope the levelling system isn't so utterly broken this time around :)

I find it hard to believe you're actually 31.

Didn't you hear? They removed attributes and made skills directly increase your health/mana/stamina as they improve. So basically they changed the god awful system for 1 that offers even less specialisation and is still god awful.

Mods to the rescue then... please tell me it still has mod tools?

I've not really kept up with the development of this if i'm honest. Oblivion was a dire game, that is until modders came along and turned it into a wonderful game.
