*** NEW VERSION UP -- ADDITIONAL RACES SHOWN ***
This version is UP as of 8:28 AM CST 11/2/11 -
MAKE sure and turn HD ON
LOL @ 40 second load times on the 360
If this version goes down: Dailymotion is a great place to find the videos (two parts so far), I would recommend google video search as well. Search terms: "Skyrim leaked first 20 minutes" For those looking, the video starts out with you in the back of a wagon with a few other NPCS
Be warned, there is a low quality version floating around out there, but if you look hard enough you CAN find the 720p footage.
The leaked footage is from the XBOX 360 (supposedly the 3 part tech demo Todd commentated was on the 360 as well)
Quick Overview: (of a game I have been looking forward to for months)
TEXTURE COMPRESSION on a large scale, not as bad as Rage and probably subtle enough where the majority of console users won't notice either, but wow this final product looks NOTHING like the tech demos we have been hand selected and spoon fed for the last 3 months.
After finally seeing someone play the game that's not a expert I can also say that the combat is nearly identical to the Gamebryo engine. I think Bethesda may have pulled a DICE with this one in the sense that they claim "brand new engine" when it's actually just Gamebyro+1
The voice acting... the child that's supposed to be 10-15 feet behind you sounds like he is in your lap. Several people are excited when they shouldn't be or half asleep when they should be fleeing fire, typical Bethesda VA recruiting.

Quick Overview: (of a game I have been looking forward to for months)
- Terrible texture compression since the last video was given to us
- Combat animations and hit detection are still terrible and identical to the Gamebyro engine (as if the people were made of IRON plunging swords into one another with no visual reaction except for blood shooting out)
- The voice acting seems decent in some areas and is terrible in others (record it once and that's great right guys?)
