I don't know yet. From what I've seen the new engine looks awesome but I still don't know what other improvements were made over Oblivion. Though, judging by the Fallout games Bethesda seems to have hit it's stride. I'll probably play it eventually, I need an immersive game that I can happily sink 100 hours into right about now.

I haven't seen much hype at all, so no. If any game is getting too much hype, my vote goes to Dead Island.

It may not be getting too much hype in the rest of the gaming community, but Bethesda is kinda one of the "big three" developer/publishers on this forum (the others being Valve and Bioware), so it's going to be incredibly overhyped here. I'm getting sick of it here, too. Yes, it's coming. Yes, you think it's going to be awesome. I get it. Now settle down.

Yes. It looks like a slightly better version of Oblivion, which, quite frankly, was mediocre at best.
Come on now, try and answer the question objectively, just because you didn't like Oblivion doesn't mean that Skyrim doesn't deserve it's hype.

yes, judging purely by the fact that the line for it at gamescom was the longest all day long. MW3 and BF3 had ebbs and flows, Skyrim was always packed.

I don't get it

Yes, too much hype. But I don't care. It looks beautiful. I want it. I want to take it as mine, and hide away with it. I'll devote three months of my life to it. I want it. Want. Want. Want.

It doesn't look that much better then Oblivion, though.
And being slightly better than a sub-par game shouldn't get you hype.

Maybe, i'm not sure yet...
But for me, my biggest fear is: bugs. Like fallout or oblivion, both were ruined by bugs. Oh, and I'm wondering if my computer will be able to handle it.

I loved Morrowind, but come on: once you strip off the pretty landscapes and huge sandbox, all of Bethesda's games are pretty fucking rotten. How "good" a Bethesda game really depends on how long it takes all the pretty veneer and gilding to rub off and for you to finally see the terrible, terrible underlying game.
Which is exactly why people, nearly a decade after its release, still play vanilla morrowind and love the shit out of it... >_>

Havent seen too much hype about it, besides the usual pre-launch leaks, but any game that takes a long time to be released cause there wasnt a disk format that could hold it all has to have something really going for it. But at least i know it wont be another lair.

Er, you totally missed my point.

Just because you thought Oblivion was sub-par, that doesn't mean that it was objectively a bad game. Also, there are many new additions being made to Skyrim*, so it's a tad unfair to try and claim that it will only be "slightly better".

I'll most likely get it but seriously. Some fans out there. Well, if you're looking forward to it good for you, the hype doesn't bother me really.

Skyrim is going to be the best game ever, how could it be over hyped?

Basically no. The Elder Scrolls has a very strong and devoted fanbase, we'll almost certainly love it to bits and will still be playing it in ten years time. Past experience with all the old games teaches us that this game will be the messiah.
