Oh man that looks like fun, I'd love it so much if they put authentic hunting in this game, spending ages tracking an animal, until finally killing it, if you could then cook it and eat it that would be great, especially if because you caught and cooked it, it gave you extra health/mana/fatigue or something, or some kind of special temporary bonus.

That does indeed sound like it could add a fair bit to the game. I mean there's already titles out there that focus exclusively on hunting and still manage to sell copies. So if Skyrim has a solid hunting component to the gameplay, that just adds one more element of enjoyment for the players.

OMGFGROMAGR I'm so excited

I saw the trailer and I'm now happy that all this waiting for a new TES game will definitely be worth it. There isn't a doubt in my mind that Bethesda will have let me down.

King of all games - TES: V

makes me glad I got a PC that can run crysis on ultra graphics.

It is now blatantly obvious that this will be the greatest game ever made.
Disagree, and you're fucking stupid.

It's gonna be Epic!

Well done!

I'm so excited, I want it now. 2011 is a great year for games and Skyrim is going to be the best :D

Well I just jizzed all over my computer. Goddamn it, that's the second time ES5 has caused this to happen.

COMES OUT THE DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!! I want it now.....

Wow... a year out and the limited gameplay we've seen looks solid. With a year left they'll have lots of time to really polish this up and deliver a great experience. Highly looking forward to it.

I didn't think it was possible to want a game this badly.

nuoh my god....

SKYYRRRRRIIIIMMMMMMMM!

the moment he yelled in that dragon's face and it began showing the landscape and the morrowind theme rejuvenated..

manly tears were shed.

Wrong, It's still using GameBryo

So you're saying that they're lying?

Eugh, I know I'm replying to an old ass discussion, but the truth is that 36Holla and Phrozon are both right.
Videogame engines aren't really divided up as strictly or as neatly as you might imagine - they kinda just grow and develop in a pretty fluid, evolutionary sense, it's just their nature.
I mean, take the FPS genre, for example. You have Left 4 Dead 2, Borderlands, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Rage. What do they all have in common? They all run on engines that are direct evolutionary descendants of the same engine that ran Wolfenstein 3D.
You see, the engine that ran Wolfenstein 3D (Idtech 1, I think?) was modified and improved in the DOOM engine, which was then updated into the Quake engine. That Quake engine was taken by two separate groups (Id andValve), and what resulted was the engine that powered the later Quake games & the Gold Src engine (Half Life), which was later heavily modified into the Source engine (Left 4 Dead, Half Life 2, TF2). Later, newer builds of the Id tech engine would also be used as the basis for the original Unreal Engine (Bordlerands), IW engine (Call of Duty), and of course Id tech itself is powering Rage.

Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is that engines just kinda grow and evolve into each other, and almost every "new" engine was based upon, or simply is, a heavily modified version of an older engine. So when they say the engine powering Skyrim is both a brand new engine and a modified version of the Gamebryo engine, both statements are true. Paradoxically. :0

Wolfenstein 3D didn't even use the same rendering method so this is bullshit. Wolfenstein 3D used raycasting, it's engine couldn't display real 3D models but only sprites.
The method we use these days is called rasterization and we will be using raytracing in the future.

The engine used by Skyrim has been COMPLETELY REWRITTEN, nothing is based off the old Gamebryo powered engine. Multiple sites have said that the new engine does not use Gamebryo and while Bethesda doesn't say it with so many words, it's most likely that this engine does NOT USE GAMEBRYO!

Also, according to gamedebate, a new graphics card will make my pc run Skyrim YAY!

You are too stupid to talk to, I'm just going to go back to waiting for Skyrim.

So every single game engine ever was based off the same engine? Thats just completely not true. The first 3D games had their own renderers while games now use OpenGL, DirectX or something else I can't remember.

This game needs more decapitations and limb severing . Enough said.
