MODERATORS
Does this mean ME5 was close to completion, or that a trailer can be cobbled together early in production? I suspect it's the latter seeing how many trailers precede the game by several years.
Have you seen the last Elder Scrolls trailer?
Was there a new one? Or do you mean the picture of mountains that they showed back when there was a baby in my life?
That’s the very trailer
That's fine honestly. It's free to hate them while they're spending several years not making it, but once it's out I'll have to start hating the game.
I think it's lame to blindly hate a game after years of work of hundreds of modders who will eventually make it playable.
You're right, I'll stay excited for whatever the TESR team do with it, eventually. Something to look forward to in retirement.
I like you.
Baby gonna be in high school by the time TES:VI comes out
That;s pretty optimistic. I was thinking the heat death of the universe when TES: VI comes out.
It would most likely have been a cinematic trailer, created by a VFX company hired for the job. ME5 was in early production, likely no game to speak of at this point, just storylines and concept art mostly. Maybe a vertical slice demo, but I doubt it.
It wasn't
They started working on art assets, sound and animations at the very least for this WIP trailer but even then the ingame trailer isnt complete (lots of reused assets). My guess is its all paperwork with maybe a few blockouts to prototype new gameplay ideas while the art team worked on the trailer
Yeah and they repeatedly said it was in "early stages" of production.
Concepts of early stages of production.
It looks like it was early production
From what everyone was able to cobble together with rumors and hearsay is that they had a core idea ready, but waited till after Veilguard to commit more resources to the project. I guess we can assume it got a bit further along before it was canned.
