The trailer is up to the usual Rockstar standards, makes me want to play the game so I suppose it worked...PC version plz?

I suppose this thread is also relevant again because of Origin, which I really can't see competing with Steam's special offers and vast catalog, plus there are terms in the contract which allow EA to scan your hard drive's contents and share it with third parties... It's a shame because Origin as a program is very neat and tidy

Gah, I still need to do the last couple of missions for this game but I got sidetracked by other stuff, it'll only take me a few hours but the exact same thing happened to me towards the end of DX1.

Uh.. didn't you read the very first post in this topic? That's what I get for being half asleep and reading Kotaku

I'd put that down to bad luck maybe, so far I've had a surprising amount of support from random team mates, the experience is enhanced if you can get a few friends in there though, it's probably the most fun I've had in an online game.

*insert stereotypical comment about xbox piracy making a mockery of release dates*

There's a trailer coming today apparently.

Lots more Battlefield tonight, had three friends on the voice chat and it felt suitably tactical, in one round we managed to take down four or five tanks by keeping co-ordinated.

I had a quick look at one of the streams, I'm not sure where the guy was but it was visually gorgeous, he started a few conversations and the voice acting was fine, not stellar but perfectly fine, the local Jarl had a nice Germanic lilt to his accent. I didn't get to see much animation as I pulled myself away pretty quickly, but this is a Bethesda game and outdated animation is par for the course, I won't be too let down. Mostly what I feel when I see people streaming the game is envy

Spent a few hours in Battlefield 3 with a friend of mine, it probably goes without saying but games like this are twice as much fun with friends, now I need to get a usb headset so I can stop screaming into my webcam mic

I'll probably go a Nord, I definitely seem to go with the dominant race of the game first time around, it'd be nice if there's enough politicking in the game to make playing an Imperial feel different than a Nord.

I watched a couple of minutes and then used my god like super powers to stop myself, it all looks and sounds good to me, a clear step up from Oblivion and Fallout 3. Got to agree with Tig on the interface though, it's going to be murder with a mouse, I'll bet all they do is make the font smaller on the PC

I think this might be the best preview I've read, very honest.

I just arrived in The Den in Fallout 2 but mostly I'm playing Battlefield 3, slowing rising in rank and learning my way around these huge maps.

Jesus, god, yes. Less than two weeks now

Beware the sewers, I needed to use god mode as my brain was melting and the game would never have been completed otherwise, apart from that the game generally deserves the praise it gets.

One thing I've noticed about all the info Bethesda are putting out, it's 90% about the feel of the world and the lore, not "OMFG look at the HDR/bloom/shaders/radiant blah!", it does seem like the maturity of the consoles has done a lot to let them focus on the important things rather than the glitz.

As far as the single player campaign is concerned, nothing, it's generic Americans blabbering propaganda and movie stereotypes, multiplayer on the other hand has a lot of variety.

Well if you want the bad points I lost a absolute shedload of XP due to servers dropping me mid round, they really need to sort that out, video performance is also sub par, my GTX 580 struggles to maintain 40fps on ultra, though thankfully the graphical difference between high and ultra is minimal.

Yeah that's a very good point, unless you do some tweaking/modding Oblivion and Fallout 3 actually ran at 64hz on the PC, totally ****ing all hopes of smooth vsync, I really hope this all singing, all dancing Gamebryo reboot has that issue solved.

Lol. More than enough. Thanks, man. I assume I'll be off the pretty pretty features, though? It depends how fussy you are about vsync, I doubt the 270 will get a solid 60fps on ultra but I bet it won't be far off, it should totally chew it up and spit it out on high though. In other news I stayed up till 6am playing Battlefield 3, server drop outs are a pretty big issue it seems, good job the actual gameplay is really solid, been having a blast.

Here's a new feature on the art direction. Impressive but you've got to wonder how he'll eat the world, I imagine the final battle starting with a huge pair of wings unfolding on the horizon but that'd only lead to some kind of scripted Liberty Prime/Akatosh ending, really curious to see how they deal with it. *jizz*

This was asked and I think it was Todd who confirmed no in depth companion story arcs
