Elder Scrolls Panorama Shots
Johnny wrote to mention new images up on the Panogames.com site, for the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Enjoy some late-night images of sprawling countrysides and dank dungeons. They also offer images of Half-Life 2 and Need for Speed : Most Wanted.
The embargo and lack of review copies is a good indicator that a game has problems. As is, overwhelmingly positive "reader reviews" showing up within an hour of daybreak on the east coast aren't a good sign either.
I didn't notice it before hand, but they never show you more than a few meters around you in their screen shots? There's a really good reason for that...
I'm not saying it sucks, I've not even played it (I will buy it, eventually). But I did play some of their other games.
Morrowind got into a playable "ready for release" state about the time the first expansion came out. Kind of a bummer for the XBox players who got told things like "Start over, maybe the main quest won't break the next time through."
Daggerfall, never did become a workable title. I know people (two anyway) that won't play their games anymore because of this title. This is, I think, the kind of game Bethesda would release if it weren't for Microsoft's hand in the mix.
Now I buy games based off the demo. Some games never get a demo. I can only presume that they never solidified into a state someone might enjoy enough to pay for.
Platform advocacy is like choosing a favorite severely developmentally disabled child.
Now that is just fucking cool. Finally a decent use of quicktime.
