» Tue May 22, 2012 12:03 am

just a few things that he showed the devs experimented with:

- SPEARS! - look awesome....
- WEREBEARS!
- dragon mounts
- water arrows (extinguish lights), fire arrows, ice arrows
- guards can re-light extinguished lights
- SSAO
- cloth physics

- MOUNTED COMBAT! - looked awesome....

please devs... DLC for this stuff would be incredible...

Oh the things I saw. I wan't half of those features and hope most can be replicated with the CK. Oh my. I'm still bouncing off the walls.

Anyone has a link to a non live version? The feed for the live one is over.

Is this online anywhere yet? I just caught the very end of it.

Seasonal textures

I hope that's something that's doable.

DUDE THAT WAS SO AWESOME
made the whole thing worthwile

so like: if that is all already coded and made---- why make the mod community re-make it all from scratch (in probably inferior ways)?? RELEASE ALL DAT as mods! just throw it on as user mods maybe? doesnt even have to be official content or DLC if beth is debating on it. just throw it out there! we WANT !

also....... was so bummed when he was talking about how he thinks too many people stop playing games because they are too difficult. UM NO ONE DOES THAT. skyrim is too easy. make games bigger, harder, more dense, more epic... people will rise to the challenge. morrowind.

Wow. That. Was. Freakin. Sweet.

I can't wait to see what the mod community comes up with after watching that.

» Mon May 21, 2012 10:29 pm

I absolutely would have loved to see seasons in the game.

Some of those things I wonder why they didn't make it into the game in the first place.

» Mon May 21, 2012 5:05 pm

I usually hate DLC, but I think I would pay for most of this stuff.

They have some insane talent at Bethesda for stuff like that to get in game in a week. It makes me think that, given the freedom to "do their own thing", Skyrim could have been mind-blowing. The fact that Mr. Howard said it was possible that some of this stuff could be released for free or as DLC excites me.

That is freakin amazing. SPEARS! lol

but seriously, the flow baser water shaders were my favourite.

» Mon May 21, 2012 10:45 pm

SPEARS! SEASONS! SPELL COMBINATIONS!

(╯°□°）╯︵???s

My [censored]! It is being flipped!

» Mon May 21, 2012 11:52 pm

Mother of God. I would buy the game all over again for just half of those features.

» Tue May 22, 2012 4:53 am

That video made me horny and angry. All the things we might get! :blink:

Seasonal foliage... omnomnom.

I'm angry because if all of that took the people at Bethesda no more than a week to make, then why the hell don't we have all of it and more already?

» Tue May 22, 2012 6:37 am

I can only hope that dragon mounts, spears, werebears and mounted combat will be eventually made into mods.. if Bethesda doesn't release them as DLC first.

» Tue May 22, 2012 1:00 am

So what I saw from that week was: everything that should have been in the game from the damn start.

» Mon May 21, 2012 6:57 pm

If they made all that in a week why wasn't it included in the first place....

» Tue May 22, 2012 3:41 am

I need to congratulate Todd Howard for making such an amazing inspirational Keynote speech. The way he talked about the games he makes, is just furthering my interest in the Games Industry.

Let's hope I get into University.

P.S - That Game Jam was bloody amazing! I just know people are going to be bringing out Mods of some of the stuff in that video.

» Tue May 22, 2012 2:05 am

Yeah, lets spend a week playing around instead of figuring out how to make Skyrim work on the PS3. Then, lets make a video to brag about how we had an "extra" week of nothing else important to work on.

Thanks for rubbing it in, Todd.

» Mon May 21, 2012 3:21 pm

That was awesome!
