Edit: I'm slow

Stay tuned! My insider sources say this thread is going to get eipc in about 40 minutes.

MMOs are hard to watch. Playing AOC was a lot different than watching it. I'm assuming this game is similar. I played the shit out of DAOC, and I can remember back in the day watching vids of good pvp players and being like, "oh nice move!" I tried watching one of my old vids the other day...

Well it looked aright to me. Lot's of decent graphics, smooth gameplay. Animations aren't awesome, but I'm not too picky. I wanted to see pvp, but at least we saw a lot of little systems working. Fast travel, group finder, skill systems, etc. They have 8 months to polish, I think it will be...

Starts in about 5 minutes. (10:30 Pacific)

Yeah, I don't trust Draegan farther than I can throw him. And judging by his haircut, he eats a lot of pizza and Mt. Dew.

Yeah, guys, I called Smed this morning, and he gave me the whole breakdown. I promised not to talk though. Also, this thread will be epic starting at 1pm.

Yeah, I just watched a 45 min vid of a dude running around Morrowind on a horse (vid is easy to find if you google for the torrent address.) The world seems massive, and the graphics looked pretty sharp and smooth as silk. The only load screens I saw were going into buildings - outdoor zone to...

I think his nut huggers have Stockholm Syndrome. His rabid, ultra-verbose rantings have brow beaten many into thinking he's some kind of genius. I lost any belief in his conspiracy theories when he claimed he could tell by my IP that I was the same guy as the Betacake beta leaker guy. That...

I really dislike that art style. Boris Vallejo type shit is where it's at, imo. Personally I think that dude sucks. I've seen middle school art projects that looked better - he's famous for something, though, I assume? Okay, that's hyperbole. I looked at it again, and some of the fine...

It makes sense that Ut's source or apparently many sources are at Bethesda. I'm sure a lot of those nerds are butthurt that they didn't get picked to work on the MMO. Probably bitter and all kinds of rustled over there.

If they do this right, that's all I want. We'll see.

This should seal the deal for you doubters:

GoneAny mirror or something?

Yeah.. mudflation has been around for a long time. Since, like, muds!

Like you wouldn't be pissing yourself with excitement if you had a beta invite in your mailbox. I love how the internet makes people so edgy and tough!

Decent interview if you're a DAOC fan: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/v...1/videoId/3123 But I think the most interesting bit out of E3 has nothing to do with ESO - apparently EQ Next was shown behind closed doors and MMORPG.com liked it so much they gave it best in show: I know -...

Well, at the very least, that confirms that the beta really exists, heh.

So I think my original meltdown over this console business might have been a bit of an overreaction. I was just really pissed when I bought Skyrim and had to suffer with that fucking horrible console to PC port for their UI and menus. When I heard they were going to make this game for the next...

Literally the only way they could have turned me from a guaranteed sale to a "Fuck you, Zenimax" was to cave to the console kids. I'm out, and Utnayan, you may happily enjoy knowing that I am eating a huge ass crow, right now. Crazy shit.

This interview was good, imo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLWd-pGJ1uI Might address some of the hyperbolic shitfits in this thread regarding quotes mostly taken out of context.

Sure, you can look at it that way. Or you can look at it as a guy who really enjoyed ES games getting excited that this MMO has a quest that reminded him a lot of ES games. I try not to read too much into things.

Do I really have to explain this? I AM going to buy this and give it a try. I HOPE I get to see a lot more before then. Either way, I'm going to buy it. Can you understand now? Okay this time, for real, I'm going to try avoid replying to you, so unless it's really important, please don't...

Some more new footage on this clip (mixed with more old shit): http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/05/30...-daedric-quest I'm going to try to avoid responding to Utnayan, cause no one who is sane writes this much shit about a game they think sucks.At least not for free. Personally, what I'm...

LOL 65 guys on the inside now, eh? How big is that check Blizzard sends you every month?

You need a sense of humor. Also, some new adjectives. Also, try bringing something interesting to the conversation.

I dunno, Ut, Firor is still holding steady that this is not Hero Engine:

Hey, they gotta save some shit for expansions too

A lot of that footage is old, but some is new! That first person it's looking good, imo.

Glad to be of service. On another note: any bets of whether ZOS will have something awesome to show at E3? I'd have bet yes, but they let me down at every other convention so far...

Well, if you want to continue the conspiracy theory meme: If I were a game developer, looking to start a grassroots operation, I might hire this extremely vocal guy on the internet to defame and slam my competition to the point where he'd poisoned the well completely. Speak for yourself, please...

Right back at you, brohttp://www.webmd.com/mental-health/o...fiant-disorder

Maybe, but I'll wait to see if the game is good first before I call for a witch trial. That's the difference between you and me, Ut; I'm not crazy.

C'mon now, Ut - you've never run a 300+ employee development house trying to manage a 1-200 million dollar budget. You don't have any idea the kind of fires he has to put out every day.

Devil's advocate - this game is produced by Zenimax and they have some strict PR rules. They didn't allow Bethesda to say shit about Skyrim during development, either. Edit: Truth of the matter is, I figure they are probably behind schedule and working like crazy to get caught up. I...

All the ESO stuff is gone from Betacake. Wonder if he got a cease and desist? Even this fanboy is starting to wonder if it's possible all this secrecy can be for a good reason...

Denaut, is it possible that a lot of animations could be cheap "canned" or "placeholder" animations and are being replaced in waves with custom animations? Just a thought I had, I have no experience with this stuff, but I think I've heard the argument used before.

Huh?

Eh, I thought it looked pretty good, for those few second they showed. Certainly wouldn't say "shitty." You sound pretty angry and crazy, though.

No, Ut, not trolling. Just said it looks decent. Nothing shocking about that statement. Looked like an ES game to me and a fun monster to fight. Graphics were good enough that I'd not veto the game based on them.
