О видео с QuakeCon 2011 (как на Е3..)

[Tiara]

ИТАК, в основном, это было уже известное нам демо с E3, но более интерактивное и полное. Наблюдая за игрой Тодда, мы увидели некоторые новые подробности геймплея.

[ Гостям не разрешен просмотр вложений ]

Тодд начал игру на той же дороге, что и в других презентациях, чем заслужил многократное "ура" со стороны аудитории. Он остановился, когда мимо пробежала лиса: толпа требовала крови и просила ее убить. Персонаж Тодда погнался за ней и преследовал некоторое время, но затем потерял из вида. Двигаясь вниз по тропе, Тодд расправился с двумя волками и пошел дальше. На этот раз он решил не сворачивать в город, а пройти немного вперед. Люди кричали ему, чтобы он прыгнул в воду, что он и сделал. На воде отобразилась рябь, схожая с аналогичной из Morrowind / Oblivion. Мы также увидели рыбу, которая выпрыгивала из ручья. Чуть дальше по дороге на него напал парень, владеющий стрельбой из лука, ... скорее всего босмер, и его стрела пролетела у персонажа Тодда над головой. Он показался мне более мужественным, чем босмеры из предыдущих игр серии! Затем мы зашли в первый город, прошли мимо темных эльфов и дамы (норда?), поговорили с кузнецом возле кузницы ... так же,  как и на E3. Прошли мимо двоих детей-нордов, занимающихся с собакой. Дети выглядят великолепно и голоса у них соответствующие. Я пропустил, что они говорили, так что извините! Затем Тодд обращает наше внимание на меню инвентаря:

- Он показывает книги, которые можно масштабировать открытыми (очень удивительно!) При перелистывании страниц теперь  показывается соответствующая анимация.
- Он показывает магические заклинания / кличи драконов, которые тоже имеют каждый свою анимацию. Маги должны порадоваться этому!
- Свойства драконьих кличей содержат три числа-параметра - скорее всего, это секунды действия для каждого слова. Для одного из кличей было что-то вроде 80, 150, 200, но для каждого клича эта последовательность была иной.

Затем Тодд вскочил на лошадь и выехал за пределы города. И вновь оказался возле Глотки Мира, так же, как и на E3. Он продолжил путь и использовал заклинания "обнаружения жизни" и "безумия" на небольшой черной башне /форте. Его персонаж был слишком далеко, чтобы увидеть NPC, на которого скастовал безумие, но обезумевший непись уже ворвался в здание и быстро убил всех, кто находился внутри. Тодд немного остановился, чтобы снять лук с поверженного (им оказался орк!). Добравшись пешком до кургана Bleakwood Barrows, мы повстречались с драконом, прям как на E3. На этот раз полет дракона выглядел несколько иначе и он, фактически, завис в воздухе, хлопая крыльями и плюясь огнем. Затем он плюхнулся на землю на том же самом месте, что и в демо на E3, а Тодд поспешил забежать внутрь кургана.

События внутри подземелья развивались точно так же, как и на предыдущих демо-показах: в том числе, было снова продемонстрировано скрытое убийство двух бандитов (редгардов?). Женщина была застрелена первой, сразу же после того,  как Тодд услышал их разговор о поиске золотого когтя (в этот момент появляется всплывающее окно, сообщающее об изменении статуса квеста). Опустошив сундук, персонаж Тодда продолжает исследование пещеры. Заманив двух  Skeever (крыс) в ледяную ловушку на земле, он подходит к проемам, опутанным паутиной. Ему предстоит сражение с гигантским пауком, который выглядит очень пугающе. Разрубив  паутину, Тодд заходит в комнату и звуки музыки сменяются на боевые (музыка везде была удивительно к месту!). Паук свалился откуда-то сверху, с потолка, и борьба началась. Потребовалось довольно много сил, чтобы его убить. И вот, наконец, Тодд подошел к данмеру, который попался в паучьи сети. Для озвучки данмеров вернули старый грубый голос и звучит он так же великолепно, как и в Morrowind. Освобожденный данмер вскакивает после спасения и говорит "Ты дурак, я никогда не буду делиться сокровищем" или что-то вроде этого. Анимации эффектного убийства тут нет, но, может, я ее не заметил. Он просто умирает, а Тодд подбирает коготь.

Тодд продвигается вперед, убивая на своем пути несколько драугров. Так же, как на E3 ... Есть железные ворота-капкан, раскачивающиеся из стороны в сторону, чего я никогда не замечал в трейлерах E3.

Здесь моя память несколько подводит меня, но вроде бы Тодд перепрыгивает через ловушки, используя клич Whirlwind Sprint, а затем убивает еще пару драугров, но это мы уже видели в показе на  Е3. Анимации убийства снова нет. Тодд, наконец, натыкается на жреца дракона / комнату со стеной Слов и это длится  примерно столько же, сколько на E3 ... Он побеждает жреца и его голема,  добирается до выхода из пещеры, после чего мы видим экран загрузки новой области.

Затем персонаж Тодда оказался в огромной открытой тундре с мамонтами и гигантами. Люди стали кричать, чтобы он напал на гиганта, как и в трейлере. И вот с неба пикирует дракон и поднимает гиганта в воздух. Мы попросили Тодда посмотреть на падение гиганта немного дольше, чем раньше, и нам показалось, что он стал менее "легким" на этот раз. Битва с драконом длится долго ...явно было несколько сокращений этой битвы для использования в ролике на Е3.  На этот раз дракон не съедает стражника ... круто. Тодд прикончил одного дракона (Огненного)  и переходит к другому (Морозному) ... Все это снова очень похоже на трейлер с Е3. Это был долгий, но и очень жестокий бой, и он был встречен громким "ура" из толпы.

Стенограмма демонстрации на английском

Спойлер

*Pete Hines walks out and crowd cheers*
Pete: How you guys doing? Are you guys ready to see a kick-ass rpg?
*Crowd Cheers loudly*
Pete: Me too! I’m Pete Hines from Bethesda on behalf of everybody at Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios, thank you guys for taking the time to come check out a little Skyrim. First time we’ve ever shown this to the general public.
*Crowd Cheers*
Pete: Now, we have one and only one request, in exchange for bringing the game here and showing you guys. That’s to take your cameras, take your phones, and kindly place them in your pocket. Please don’t record the demo. We don’t want crummy-shaky cam footage of our stuff out there. We promise we will put this out in all of it’s glory in nice HD version, but please, please put the cameras away and don’t record the demonstration.
Having said that, I’m going to bring up a gentleman many of you probably already know. He was the man behind the 2006 Game of the year Oblivion, 2008 Game of the year Fallout 3…
*Crowd Woohs*
Pete: He is one of the very best creative minds in all video game anywhere and one of my very best friends. Ladies and gentleman, Mr. Todd Howard.
*Standing cheering ovation*
Todd Howard: There is a lot of people in here. This is one of those like, I was all calm and now I’m like I hope I don’t f*ck up.
*laughs*
Todd: It’s like the acoustics show, one man and a controller. Uhh, thanks Pete. So I guess…
*Picture of Skyrim logo is displayed on giant screen*
*Crowd Cheers*
Todd: It’s all downhill from here.
*Laughs*
Todd: This will be the first time that myself and my team have showed a game at QuakeCon, so thanks for having us by the way.
*Cheers*
Todd: It’s really cool for us at Bethesda for us to be together with id software. I’ve been a fan of id stuff for a really long time. I imagine a lot of you are from Texas? Yeah?
*Cheers*
Todd: What people don’t realize about Texas, it’s hot. It’s either 60 degrees inside or 110 degrees outside. Can we get some middle ground, 70 somewhere?
*Laughs*
Todd: If you look at what id has done with first-person shooters, with Doom, and then back in the day you look at Origin Systems in Texas with Ultima, which is a big inspiriation to us; If you really look at it, Texas is the heart of video games as far as creativity.
*Cheers*
Todd: We are going to kick off Skyrim here. It is running on the Xbox 360…
*Mixed boos and cheers* *Certain audience members flashing “X” signs*
Todd: That was the exact response I expected. Frankly, the keyboard and mouse does not work as well up here for doing this. I assure you the PC version looks even way better!
*Cheers*
Todd: We are going to jump right in. The team at Bethesda game studios and I, we finished Fallout 3 and kind of thought we wanna do Elder Scrolls again. Should we wait for the next generation of hardware? We had a pretty big laundry list of features that we knew we could do with the PC’s that are coming out now, On the 360 and on the PS3.
When we do an Elder Scrolls, our whole goal is to make a virtual fantasy world come to life on the screen, to make you feel like this is the first time you’ve played one of these games. And it is a game where you get to create any kind of character you want and go do what you want. And when it loads up here it will be a little bit into the world…
*Game loads and crowd cheers*
Todd: We’ve spent a lot of time completely rewriting our graphics engine, so all new graphics and all new gameplay. Again this is all 360 live.
*Todd’s character looks around the world and at mountain backdrop*
Todd: I know you guys are really familiar with the id stuff, when we do technology we are really interested in showing really micro details like these plants, these logs, and then macro detail like these mountains. You can walk to the top of that mountain it all just streams in. We deal with levels of detail. Again all that detail streams in. With the kind of games we do, we can’t hide stuff. So our view on rendering is, we’re just gonna draw it all. You can play in first-person, you can also play in third-person…
*Switches to third-person and crowd cheers as camera pans to the character*
Todd: So you can see some of the new animation systems.
*Runs in third-person mode and shadows are being cast from all surroundings intensely*
*Crowd yells for random requests*
*Todd draws his character’s sword and swings it*
Todd: You can also play in first-person. The right trigger does the right hand, the left trigger does the left hand.
*Todd looks at a wolf*
Crowd: Kill it! Kill it!
*Wolf disappears and crowd sighs*
*He activates the menu which hovers in the bottom left and equips “healing”*
Todd: You can put whatever you want in either hand, so you can put magic in your left hand…
*Healing orb is created and sits in palm*
*Cheers*
*Todd equips duel healing spells*
Todd: What’s cool is if you hold both triggers, you combine that into a bigger spell. So it really is you are what you play. Just play the game. If you want to be a warrior you pick heavy weapons. If you want to be a caster… you know it’s just whatever you really put in your hands.
*Discovers guardian stone*
Todd: These are the guardian stones. These are ancient standing stones that bless you with certain abilities and you can only have one of these active at a time. This is another thing where you define your character as you play the game, as opposed to just doing it at the outset and just picking it in a menu.
*Chooses Warrior stone*
*Todd walks down a path along a stream*
Crowd: Water! Show us water!
*Animal appears on the path*
Crowd: YEAH!
Todd: It’s just a wolf!
*Todd equips sword and shield and kills brown wolf in first-person*
*Starts to kill black wolf and then finishing kill animation is shown*
Crowd: Ohhhhhhhh! *Claps*
*Todd continues down the path as “water” chants return*
*Todd abruptly stops and turn towards the stream*
*He jumps down the ledge and shows a small waterfall and then jumps in water to create a water animation*
*Crowd cheers*
*A person on the path is spotted and begins firing arrows at Todd*
*Todd blocks an arrow and then equips “frostbite” spell and casts it at the enemy*
*It appears to slow the enemy down and he runs toward Todd*
*Todd swings his sword and applies a brutal finishing move with his sword*
Crowd: Ohhhhhhhh!
*One-handed skill levels up to 21 and crowd claps*
Todd: That spell is not only gonna hurt him, but also slow him down, drain his stamina so he can’t do some of those more powerful moves that I’m doing.
*Puts sword away*
Todd: I’ll show you guys some of the interface.
In an RPG you spend a lot of time looking at stuff. We’re really excited about this. We really wanted to make this tactile. Make it entertaining on a new level. You have your items to the right. We have a really nice way of showing lots and lots of stuff. So it’s not just about finding items, where it’s just “Hey, this is a +1 shield,” you can look at all these things, you can zoom in and see the detail of thousands…
*Crowd Cheers as Todd rotates the camera on a Banded Iron Shield*
Todd: The artists have done, I mean, a staggering job… The salmon you saw in the river, take their meat. You can then cook that and heal you more. The level of obsession that we have…
*He displays Nirnroot and crowd seems to like it*
Todd: [The Books] you can read them all… *flips pages in book*
*Shows mysterious note with black hand on screen that says “We know” *
Todd: Do you guys know what the black hand symbolizes? I am here to confirm at QuakeCon that The Dark Brotherhood is in the game.
*Crowd Cheers*
Todd: Emil Pagliarulo who is the lead designer and writer for fallout 3–who made The Dark Brotherhood famous in Oblivion–he’s done it again. A great great faction line.
*Points the menu left for “Magic” tab*
Todd: This goes over to magic as well. So you can set favorites, a favorites section. It sort of like bookmarking webpages for things. When you see me using the d-pad in the bottom left, that’s my favorites.
*Flips through magic spells: Bound BattleAxe, Chain Lightning, Circle of Protection, Clairvoyance, Fire Breath, Flames.*
A big part of a RPG is the skills and the idea here is you look to the heavens for what your character is. You can see the progress of all your skills. You do have every skill and as you use them they will automatically increase. When you increase enough them, you will level up. What’s really cool is that when you level up, you do get to pick a perk. So in each of these constellations is actually its own perk tree that you push into…
*Crowd Cheers*
Todd: So a really cool way of defining your character throughout the game.
Lastly, the map. We are just going to pull the camera back here of the world. you can see…
*Crowd makes breathtaking noises*
Todd: It is by far the biggest and craziest game we have ever made I can assure you. Even though the scale of the map is about Oblivion size, there is significantly more content in this game. It is just… big would be a massive understatement.
*Closes menu and continues walking to path and approaches a town*
*Enters town and crowd yells random things*
*Approaches a blacksmith*
Todd: You can make your items here (shows forge), and improve your items here.
*talks to an NPC blacksmith*
Todd: This is what the dialog looks like. It’s all real time.
*Leaves blacksmith area*
Todd: Throughout the town there are little jobs you can do. You can cut wood, you can run this lumber mill. All the things you see the people doing you can do as a player as well to make money. They are just simple little conversions. We really got into “how does the economy of the whole world work?” Even though you’re running around and killing dragons and doing all of those things, there are times that as a player you kind of self-govern your own time…
*Lumberjack lifts giant log onto the mill and crowd cheers*
*Walks away from the mill and down the path*
*Crowd yells random requests*
Todd: No I’m not going to kill them either! This is a local tavern, a good place to pick up a quest, part of the new quest system.
*Todd spots a horse*
*Crowd requests to kill the horse*
*Todd mounts the horse and rides out of town*
Todd: Like I said we do have a new quest system called radian story and that is governing everything that I see in the game all the quests that I’ve been given. It tracks everything that you do and then we can dynamically change any part of any quest or give you little objectives, so it’s kind of like the things your doing and being given in the game are limitless.
Headed up into the mountains here. You’ll see some of the dynamic weather. All of the snow you see here is actually dynamic. Our artists … textual rocks of the that, we just let the game do it itself.
*Crowd claps*
*Todd overlooks a small cliff*
*Crowd yells to jump*
Todd: Up there is the throat of the world, this is the tallest mountain in Skyrim. It is home to the Grey Beards and the Grey Beards are masters of the voice, it is the ancient Nordic power to use your voice as a weapon to form a shout, I’ll show you some of that in the demo as well.
The main quest of the game is that you are Dragon Born. You were born with the soul of a Dragon and your ability to do these shouts and speak the language hasn’t been seen in the world of Tamriel for a long time.
*Jumps off horse and selects menu*
Todd: Detect Life spell, and then Illusion has a Frenzy so I can duel-wield spells in interesting ways.
*Casts Frenzy on a human enemy and provokes him to attack another human enemy*
*Crowd Claps*
*Todd takes out bow and finishes off the remaining standing enemy*
*Member in crowd yells for head shot*
*Todd walks around the path and discovers Bleak Falls Barrow*
Todd: This is an ancient Nordic ruin, Bleak Falls Barrow. Thousands of years ago the Nords would worship dragons and I guess as you know, in SKyrim the dragons have returned.
*Dragon appears and crowd cheers*
*Todd fires an arrow at the dragon and the dragon retaliates with fire breath*
*Todd ducks behind a pillar and the dragon lands beside him*
*He shoots it in the head and back peddles to safety and enters a door*
Todd: Dragons are our big boss creatures inb the game. They are really really awesome. They have a lot of AI behaviors. Other then how they appear in this demo, we sort make sure they would appear. After that we don’t know what they are going to do. They can pick up guys and drop them. They can do bombing rounds of fire. They turned out really really awesome and you will see them a lot in Skyrim.
*The loading time seems to be about 25 seconds for the transition*
*Crowd cheers and Todd is phased in*
*Todd enters sneak mode and approaches two talking NPC’s*
*He draws bow and one shot kills each enemy while in the shadows*
*He opens a chest at the near the dead NPC’s*
*Chest contents: Glass Sword, Dibella Statue, Emerald, Gold, Petty Soul Gem and Silver Necklace*
*He equips Glass Sword and Imperial Sword*
*Crowd Cheers*
*He begins running through the instance*
*Approaches and enemy with a shield and after 10 second fight uses a finishing move*
*He continues down the tunnel and spots an enemy*
*Equips Frost Roots*
Todd: These are Frost Roots, like a natural trap
*Enemies run into the trap and die instantly*
*Runs down a hall and turns into a spider lair*
*A large spider drops from a web to the crowds pleasure*
*Todd casts Frost Roots and begins hitting spider with glass sword*
*He equips Flames and begins casting it towards spider*
*He finishes off the spider and spots an NPC tangle up in the webs*
*The crowd request for Todd to burn him, but Todd cuts him free*
*The NPC runs from Todd and he chases him down and kills him*
Todd: Here’s the Golden CLaw, the treasure I was looking for.
*A group of crypt dwelling skeletons appear and he fends himself*
Todd: That was one of the shout powers I just used. I am going to switch to Circle of protection, that will terrify them and then Chain Lightning spell.
*Finishes kill enemies and casts lighting at the wall*
Todd: You can arc this off surfaces
*Duel wields lightning and approaches another enemy and casts greater lightning*
*One shot kills skeleton*
*He approaches a swinging pendulum of blades in a narrow hall*
Todd: I’ll show you guys another shout.
*He bursts through all the blades timing it perfectly*
*An enemy appears on the other side*
Todd: Another cool shout people haven’t seen, Slow Time.
*Cast Slow Time and time freezes*
*Finishes of enemy with duel lighting*
*Finds treasure behind enemy and loots Staff of Magelight*
Todd: That’s a good treasure here. I just got a staff. I’ll switch back to the Glass Sword and use that staff. You can duel-wield staffs as well. Yep you can do the Gandalf if you want.
*Crowd Cheers*
*He casts Magelight down a dark tunnel and it illuminates the room*
Todd: I’m actually gonna switch to that, uh, I found a spell tome. That’s one way you learn spells. That fireball spell… I am going to switch to that war axe. You can get perks for these that makes axes get bleeding damage. So they will do damage over time.
*Equips Fireball*
Todd: So the spells act differently in your hand. This is a spell where I have to charge it up. Now I have this ball of fire in my hand and when I let go of the trigger, that’s going to send it off.
……………………..
*Todd finds a wall with the Dragon Language written on it*
Todd: I’ll show you guys another cool spell which is Clairvoyance. This is something that will show you a path to your current objective which is nice in a lot of these dungeons.
*An enemy appears and he begins attacking it*
Todd: Now we are going to head outside the other side of the mountain we went in to Skyrim’s tundra. This is a big open area in the middle of the province. It’s home to the capital city of Whiterun, which is home to the companions, which is like the Fighter’s Guild in the game. We do have three main guilds: The Companions in Whiterun, the Thieves Guild in the city of Riften and the college of Winterhold up in the north.
*Exists door and transition begins to load*
Todd: Kill him? (The Giant walking with the mammoths) These guys are nice guys. They don’t always attack you. You guys want to kill him?
*Crowd replies YEAH!*
Todd: Fire Breath? That’s the Fire Breath the dragons do so you can learn that as well. What else…?
*Approaches the giants and mammoths*
Todd: Who’s idea was this?
*Equips Fire Breath and ignites the creatures*
Todd: Wanna see him running on fire?
*Dragon appears and picks up giant and drops him from the sky*
*Todd defeats dragon*
Todd: What I am going to do here is use that Dragon Soul that I collected from the other one and unlock the final level of Storm Calls, a really high level shout that allows you to call storms and rain lightning on my enemies.
*A second dragon appears and Todd turns around and climbs a tower*
Todd: If he gets hurt enough he won’t be able to fly.
*Todd casts Storm Call as clouds, rain and lightning darken the sky*
*The dragon is weakened and falls to the ground*
*Todd takes two-handed axe and finishes of the Dragon with special animation*
*Crowd cheers*
Todd: Thanks, it’s an amazing audience. Everybody at Bethesda we’ve been working on this game for 3 years. Everyone is back in Maryland crunching away. We really appreciate all the support everyone has given us over the years. We are really blessed to make these kind of games and have people embrace them in the way you all have. We do have a special announcement too at QuakeCon. We are doing what we feel is the coolest collector’s edition we have ever done. It’s really really limited. I don’t know if I’m allowed to announce the price and I can’t really remember what it is… Doesn’t matter. If you guys want to flip to the image of the collector’s edition. It comes with the game, a really big map, a making of DVD, the big cool item–the statue. This is the World Eater. He is a dragon. This statue is scale is a foot tall. It is really really well done model stuff of the game. It is done by The IP Factory. They’ve did the big Valve, Team Fortress statutes. Have you seen those? It is really high quality. Then this giant art book. A giant coffee table book of over 200 pages of concept art from the game. SO a really really cool package and we hope you all like the game, the stuff that’s coming out and uh.. thanks again.
*Crowd Applauds*

Следуя сложившейся доброй традиции, дети будут бессмертными и неуязвимыми?

[Tiara]

Helmut, угум-с

xxx: fallout new vegas. по пустыне бегают монстры, после которых стремает выходить ночью в темный коридор. можно курить, при этом улучшается концентрация. бухать всем что горит, при этом становишься обаятельнее. воровать, обкрадывать, мародерствовать и грабить могилы. огромный выбор наркоты, которая здоровски облегчает жизнь. играть во все азартные игры. мочить стариков, женщин и детей, пытать, сжигать заживо, расчленять, красиво разбивать на мелкие кусочки, подкладывать в карман взрывчатку, распинать на кресте и устраивать геноцид.
и каннибальствовать.
но блин, как доходит до секса - два раза за всю игру - то экран стыдливо чернеет. еще бы, такой шок для неокрепшей психики.

Helmut, модмейкер придёт и молча поправит всё.
