Plans for August 5th in order then. 😉
Can’t wait! But where’s RAGE
@cowlick035… it’s playable in the expo hall
Will there be a way for us to watch the Skyrim Presentation online?
As I want that game so much 🙂
Will it be streamed online?
I, and others would very much like to know that as well.
I hope, at least, they release a video shortly after the presentation (expecialy Skyrim =P )
I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WEREBEARS!!!
Hey, guys, just don’t forget to throw here some videos for us, OK? 🙂 thx
hey, where is DooM 4??? 🙁
Wow, looks so good. So sad I won’t be there. Also, please release some more videos of Skyrim already.
Wait, does this mean no nVidia presentation and no Master Pancake Theater? I believe I may just die if there’s no MPT 🙁
Skyrim Presentation – Friday, August 5th, 1:00 pm – 2.30 pm
Presented by TODD HOWARD
*fistpump*
Thanks for answering and Updating to a more detailed Schedule, It’s VERY much appreciated.. I’ll be there Thursday and Friday!!
Hope to see all of you There (:
I agree with Zaldir and Alex.I would also like to see some more third-person combat in Skyrim, as it would give me a better view on how the animations have improved.
If you want to see the presentation, I’d recommend attending the show. There’s no current plans to film the live presentation.
This is amazing, but I do not see PC Perspective in here. Will they be doing a presentation this year?
Uh, I live halfway around the world. I’d love to come, but it’d cost me a bit more than I can spare right now.
Do live stream/record/capture it somehow. The majority of id/Beth fans will be unable to attend it, but none of us want to miss it.
It is further away from my house. Hopefully it broadcast live or after the videos release.
I want Todd Howard to perform my marriage ceremony. How can I make this happen? 😛
Yeah, I’d love to fly across the country to watch somebody else play a video game for a little bit.
PLEASE let there be a live stream or at least someone record it 🙁
I cant go all the way out to Texas.
were will this be streamed online
I expect the Skyrim video to be posted by The Elder Scrolls Facebook page as soon as it’s available 😉
Can’t wait to see this. Call up three friends and whoooo ROADTRIP!!
Sorry guys, there’s no current plans for the QuakeCon presentation to be put online. It’ll likely be a no filming zone.
WOO HOOO!!!
Ah well, if the presentation is not being recorded lets just hope the in-game footage shown at the presentation is at least released afterwards so we can see what everyone was looking at. At the end of the day though, it’s the ones who take the effort to go to QuakeCon (and im sure there will be international attendees) are the ones who get to see the footage, the rest of us can wait next to the dinner table to see if any scraps fall off.
Aww. I’m not coming. I would LOVE to see the demo though. If only you could give me an exception since I am after all, Draco Wrath!
Hmmm… So, if its not going to be filmed at all, how will us dedicated fans who absolutely cannot make the presentation see it? Will stuff from the presentation be popping up in a future interview that will be filmed? Will there at least be a detailed article from you guys (or somewhere reputable) that you will be able to post? Or will you leave us hanging until the next bit of Skyrim is shown…?
im not worried gstaff, theres always the one dude recording it with his phone who will post it on youtube
Will there be Doom 4???
You should do it like you did it on E3. The fans are very eager to se some new stuff about skyrim!!!
Well that’s very disappointing.
Funny how a Public showing has a no Film Zone…. sounds like a bunch of crap to me.
online viewing??
please..
Is this part of the crack PR campaign? Advertise something that very much appeals to the entire Elder Scroll fanbase, then say, “Oh, but 99% of you can’t see it.”
How very kind and generous…
I am AMAZED at the lack of outrage exhibited here, unless posts are being screened.
As one of hundreds of fans who have been following diligently on the forums I feel extremely cheated by the decision not to show the presentation online.
What percentage of fans will be at this show? What is the value of all of these exclusive presentations? E3 was galling, but not sharing at Quakecon is bordering on the insulting. If the majority of us cannot see what a tiny, tiny proportion of the extremely loyal fanbase can see, can we at least be told when we will?
Lol, I’m thinking of Changing the Dates I’m going to Friday and Saturday..
One Question though.. Will I still be able to pick up my Swag pack (Pre-Ordered) on Friday instead of Thursday??
@SinisterCheese — I think that will be fine, but I’ll double check. Assume it’s fine if I dont get back to you.
Thanks Matt.
If I’m able to make it on Saturday, You’ll get to see my Beard I’m growing for SKYRIM™ in person.. lol
I can understand why they wouldn’t show it. It’s irksome, but sure, it’s just a demo. More to be excited about when the game comes out. =]
It sucks that this even won’t be streamed online
Hey I’m curious if ya’ll are bringing spears and such back in Skyrim? I loved them in Morrowind yet Oblivion didn’t have them:(
well since your not showing it at quakecon will u show it at another point in the year?
Well you better show the public the skyrim presentation considering how lazy your advertising has been.
Wow, how pathetic that it won’t be shown on a livestream, get with the times Quakecon this is 2011!
