Last month we flew to Maryland to report from The Elder Scrolls Online's first press event. While we were getting some hands-on time with the title, we were also watching a nine-minute video that ZeniMax put together in order to introduce the game to a wide audience.

Today the firm has published the clip for the first time, and it
features a mixture of fly-through footage, talking head interviews with
creative director Paul Sage and lead designer Nick Konkle, and snippets of PvE and PvP gameplay too.

This game will be epic ^^ I dont even need to test it to know i will play this.

Example quote in 3rd clip "Skyrim/Guildwars 2 hybrid" hell yeh

Guys sign up for the Closed Beta of The Elder Scrolls Online now!

Is this going to be a match-based game or is it going to be fully massive?

Done. Funny how they actually had an indicator for selection chance based on info entered.

Full massive mmo kawai a la GW2

If this is going to be massive then they better do something so that parties spread as much as possible in the game world. Having more than just 2 or 3 starting cities would also help. I just cant imagine playing this game with oblivion level graphics and not lagging at all when fighting in crowded areas.

Beta starts tomorrow 6pm EST

Yeah, i received an invite key a couple days ago.  

just got home and ready to try the beta. login being a pain right now tho. gonna grab food and try later. who else trying? think im going dark elf

As appealing as it looks I think I'm going to hold out until Arche Age, they will probably release not far apart and i'm not going to invest into 2 games this time round. ArcheAge i think I'm more likely to stay at.
Plus for some reason i think ESO is going to have some major game play issues just my gut feeling though ^^

Just recently signed up for the beta (ESO) as the game looks great.

What are the first impressions of those that have had actual access to the beta of ESO and ArcheAge?

Neoyoshi,

I am currently playing FFXIV and came across ESO. What stood out to you that made you enjoy the game so much?

I'm curious as to see what aspect you liked about ESO as well!

Hey, any of you going to play this game? I might get it T_T. The beta was great!

I just received an email to get into the beta :o, downloading it right now and gonna test it on 7th of feb.

After I played both beta so far...ehh yeah..but no. This game is a cash grab. It will go F2P a couples of month after it's release. There's nothing special about it. It's just a poor attempt of making Skyrim online with gimped features of Skyrim combat. Guess I'll wait on something else...

I feel the same.. unfortunately.

When it turns F2P i'll play it just for the storyline (I'm heavily invested on ES lores atm!)

I actually kinda liked it more than I expected. (went in with low expectations)

Really looking forward to testing the pvp aspect.

Thinking about playing on release.

Anyone playing the beta this weekend? Access to the Imperial race etc

Is anyone going to be playing ESO in release?

I will be playing.
Decided I was going to play something, originally thought of coming back to FFXIV, but then decided to start out at something new since I only had time for one of them.

Most likely playing the Aldmeri Dominion on the US servers got some friends heading there.

let me know if your playing too ^^
