Here Is the Debut Trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online

blah

MMOs are so 2007. Bethesda never was a hip company, though.

My sincere apologies if my reply appeared at all antagonistic, as your post above obviously deemed it to be.

I really was genuinely attempting to correct the point that you were erroneously making.

Take it or leave it.

This sounds terrible.

Was so happy sent the video to everyone. Then I watched it and sent everyone a I'm sorry Mssg. What a crappy promo video.

Not like this...

Not like this.

I still haven't played Skyrim...

You should play Skyrim.

You should really play Skyrim.

Ehh.. if you're really bored you could play Skyrim, I guess.

You should really play Saints Row the Third.

I swapped back and forth between the two in November and goddamn that was an incredible month.

Wait wait wait...

Developed by Zenimax Online Studios?

So Bethesda ISN'T EVEN DEVELOPING IT?

Oh, this shit show keeps getting better and better by the minute!

nope.

This is good news, it means there's no contamination of important games!

it's ouroboric @Alex

this game will be terrible. but people will throw money at it. that is the world we live in. i'll just go ahead and not play ANOTHER MMO THAT DOES WHAT WoW DOES.

Man I can't wait. This is going to be the World of Warcraft killer we've been.... ahahahahaaha who am I kidding this thing is going to suck hard. How fast until it goes free to play?

Really dislike the teaser/debut trailers like this where it really shows nothing. Stuff like this is best for a banner ad & not a piece of video. If I'm watching some game related video, show something beyond just the logo/iconic graphic image.

Should have spent the time and resources on more Skyrim DLC.

Tom Chick said it best:

"So, anyway, Bethesda is finally making Elder Scrolls the MMO it hasn’t been for so long. Imagine Skyrim with a dozen players running in the opposite direction, another dozen players racing towards that dragon you’re trying to kill, instanced housing, everyone sporting his own Lydia, and a faction grinding bar where your title Thane of Whiterun would have been. And probably a subscription fee. Bethesda strikes me as arrogant enough to figure they could charge $15 a month."

This is one of the least exciting trailers I've ever seen.

This mainly proves that the elder scrolls theme music can make anything seem epic.

I'm gonna pretend to be a wizard for a minute here and predict that this will be just another terribly generic fantasy MMO like every other released in the last couple years.

Any MMO that started conception during the peak of WoW's popularity has the same basic structure and just end up being boring.

Great if i'm wrong but this industry is so predictable this generation that i won't get my hopes up.

No, you're 100 percent right.

Look at that. Is that what you thought of when you actually wanted "Elder Scrolls Online"?

This is going to be so awesome! Can't wait!

I agree with Alex.That is a very Artur Boruc logo.Three dragons drunk off paint thinner,fighting the kerneled menace side by side!

ugh did i just watch a logo

Oh lawd, is that some Michael Gambon?

....................why?

Seriously, when this thing crashes and burns Emperor Zenimax can just excise the online division and turn his full attention back to printing money with T-Howard's team.

No thank you.

Underwhelming. Not just this trailer, but all the info from Game Informer. Not looking forward to it. But I really hope it will change.

No he didn't. Bethesda isn't even MAKING this game. And how are they arrogant?

Everything seems spot on, but at least he can get his facts straight and reason why Bethesda seems arrogant.

That "salvation cannot come from one arrow" bit was a reference to all the "arrow to the knee" jokes, right?

Maybe it's not arrogance but it's damn sure naive for a publisher to watch numerous high profile MMOs, both fantasy and other, completely shit themselves while going up against WoW and react with, "Well, I bet we can pull it off."

There's no doubt that an MMO will eventually dethrone WoW, but it's looking more and more likely that it will either be Blizzard's next big thing or a complete out-of-left-field paradigm shift of a game.

Don't stop believin', I guess.

Yeah, not a problem. It's hard to tell sometimes, especially considering how angry some people can be online.

Anyway, while teasers might be counted as trailers I still stand by the point I was trying to make: That this is par for the course as far as teasers go. This isn't the first one I saw that went for just voiceover, epic music and a logo.

Okay, there should be some sort of rule against calling it a trailer if all you show is the logo. All I got out of that was "The logo hasn't changed since yesterday and this game will involve dudes fighting other dudes probably."

So can Bethesda softworks now sue Zenimax for sullying the Elder Scrolls name with this? I jest but from seeing the leaked images earlier today, this is not a TES game.

That ring looks like something an Aes Sedai would wear.

Wow can´t believe its finally being made after like 10 years of rumors. If the mechanics are elder scrolls-y and not WoW-clone, standard MMO fare it´ll be the first MMORPG I ever play.

I've heard bad things about the game already. Apparently the whole article in Game Informer already got leaked.

I have absolutely no interest in this, whether it's free to play or a monthly subscription I don't want the MMO experience, and I love skyrim and the other Elder Scrolls games.

All MMO games are shit, no serious gamer would be seen dead playing that kind of crap!!

Even with Dumbledore voicing the trailer, I'm not at all interested in this.

"Nah, needs garlic".

@Pazy: "Defiantly Interesing". Fantastic.

Yeah. Time for a visit to http://d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com, perhaps?

Glitchiest game of all time. Also, longest existing glitches of all time. Also, most glitch creating patch of all time. What a commercial that will make.

I had to google it because I never heard the word before. It is spelled ouroboric.

I should know better than to ever expect anything from a teaser by now...

Yeah, it Was pretty stupid of me to think there would be gameplay in this. Still interested though!

is it me or did the voiceover guy sound like Dumbledore?

Ouroboros will be released into the atmosphere, ensuring COMPLETE GLOBAL SATURATION!

Wow, watch much Game of Thrones

No fus-ro-dah? I'm not sold...
