/tag just to see the train wreck this thread is bound to turn into :)

Mixed feelings about it. Always loved the TES games, but not sure I want in an MMo again. Still, one as well made as the original WoW was, but based on TES might be interesting.

More competition in MMO world is good thing. As WoW is goin down(at least for me) and as I play SWTOR now and can tell you that it is much more balanced than WoW in terms of style of play. Not many people just wanna grind and level up just to hit max and go grind some other thing. SWTOR is massively story oriented which was nice for a change from the all other MMOs. Also I think if you are sick of all MMO cliches - check Guild Wars 2 - it has really interesting features. I am pretty sure to check it out on release. So I hope TESO got to all the glory of the games made with that name so we can have really nice to play MMO - not some content change every few months so someone has reason to play.

I quit SWTOR because of lack of population on servers and unbalanced PvP items vs PvE items. Everybody instead of doing heroics, flashpoints, etc is only doing PvP for fast leveling and nicer items. When all this garbage is fixed, I will be thinking re-joining SWTOR...:shadedshu

I hope they will have a better system in this MMO

I recommend everyone read the information from the Game Informer article that Viper posted in post #48.
Lots of good information and insight into what the Online team is trying to accomplish.

I've checked it but still seems cartoonish. Doesn't look realistically like Unreal Engine or similar...IMO. Still showld be OK, :)

I'm not trolling PV. Sorry if you took that the wrong way.
Most people know I'm just a crazy old man who likes to keep people smiling. :)

The images in the links look like in-game shots to me.
They are not quite the level of detail as Skyrim, but look a lot better than run of the mill MMO graphics.
Time will tell I guess. I'm pretty psyched. I think an ES MMO will be outstanding if they don't screw it up.

No need to apologize, PV. We mods see everything !! (cue spooky music) :laugh:

On topic : This may sound dumb, but I hope they go with a reasonably priced subscription model instead of micro transactions of some other crap. F2P is all the craze lately, but the current models for funding the project leave a lot to be desired.

Eh, I've played games that hit both sides of the equation, and fail and succeed both sides as well. Not sure where I'd be willing to spend my money.... The monthly sub was nice, in that I didn't have to worry about not having access to something (new weapons, maps, dungeons) without paying extra, but I also like the model that lets me pay one fee, and then I only pay small amounts for additional content when I'm ready for it.

I guess the only model I would refuse to pay for is one that only allows me a time-limited access to content, ie $5 gets me access to three mid level dungeons, but only for 30 days, after which I have to pay again. I suppose some might argue that that's all the monthly subscription is, or that at least I'm just paying for something I play with then, but not continuing to pay for it if I'm not using it..... I dunno. I just know I won't pay that way :)

If it's tab targeting based, I won't be playing. TERA's combat has ruined traditional MMO mechanics for me, so boring now.

These screenshots are fake. Most likely they're from the upcoming Neverwinter MMO. The Drider and Bulette tipped me off. Then going back through looking over them, every SS is lacking any sort of identifying markings that are common to Tamriel. No familiar landmarks, no insignias, just generic fantasy MMO stuff. There's no Khajit, Argonians, Orcs, Bosmer, Falmer, Dwemer, or Daedra in those screenshots. The elemental looking creatures could possibly be storm and fire atronachs, but that's the only recognizable entities, and they're a pretty common concept across various fantasy MMO's. I've also never heard of, nor seen, a giant plant creature in any of the previous ES games.

this is just epic. Personally i came very close to beating III, got distracted and then bored by side quests. IV one i just played around with for graphics, felt the sandbox was too huge for me lol. But as an mmo i expect a massive world so i def think i'll dig into this a little, forsure gotta test on release.

This, SW:TOR online, and WoW, TOR has already got roughly 1.7 billion subscribers which sadly includes trial/free first month players, and ways that's a decent chunk of MMORPG market. I know beth has great dedicated player base, but i think it'll take some advertising to get their name out there. Know plenty of gamer friends through steam that have no idea what elder scrolls is.

EA is throwing out that 1.7 million subscriber number while they can.
There are a lot of players that are locked into 6-month subs that they puurchased out of either faith in Bioware as a gamedev, or to save money by buying a bigger sub.

Once the six month sub mark + the 30 free days that Bioware gave a lot of their players runs out, the sub numbers are going to crash hard.
They have a lot of players who are currently subscribed but not playing.

As someone else pointed out, terrible PvP,terrible game mechanics, and lots of dead servers.

EA is just bad at MMOs. Every one they've put out or taken over has had the touch of death.

Bethesda is going to have to work hard to put out a game as bad as SWTOR. Hopefully they don't put out a WoW clone re-skinned as TES.

Zenimax is a pretty big company, they know that there's some big money still in the epic single player RPG genre. They are probably going to double dip with TES and Fallout MMOs as well as continuing with the single player RPGs too.

Looks a lot like the same images to me.
I wouldn't expect everything to look the same in the MMO as in the SP games given some of the technical issues involved in creating an MMO.
Also, they are probably showing off glimpses of new areas (and creatures) from places that are not in the SP games (ie. Black Marsh, High Rock, etc.)

Zenimax (Bethesda) always gives the exclusive stories to GI, so I would expect them to have real screens and concept art.

Looks a lot like the same images to me.
I wouldn't expect everything to look the same in the MMO as in the SP games given some of the technical issues involved in creating an MMO.
Also, they are probably showing off glimpses of new areas (and creatures) from places that are not in the SP games (ie. Black Marsh, High Rock, etc.)

Zenimax (Bethesda) always gives the exclusive stories to GI, so I would expect them to have real screens and concept art.

I did mention the Atronachs looked recognizable, I also noticed the Daedric writing on their wrists and ankles after I went back over them again. GI hasn't reproduced the rest of the shots from the leak, so I'm just gonna keep my hopes up for a little while longer that maybe it's the only legit SS of the bunch. Time will tell. Maybe I'll :banghead: over the next couple of weeks.:ohwell:
