Bethesda has revealed (accidentally, it seems) a new feature coming to Skyrim via update 1.5. Their blog was updated with a post revealing a new kill-cam mechanic. However, that post has now been removed.

Skyrim’s cinematic kill-cam feature was said to now be included in ranged and magic attacks. Does this ring a bell? This is one of the features that appeared in the “Skyrim Game Jam” video that Todd Howard showed off not too long ago. The video contained various mechanics and features that the devs played around with, but none of them ever made it into the final product.

With Bethesda’s focus slowly moving away from fixing bugs and general stability, it looks like they can shift their attention to bringing gamers more content to enhance the overall experience while journeying through Skyrim. Since the original post regarding update 1.5 was removed rather quickly, it was obviously posted by mistake. However, the unintentional reveal of this information means we aren’t too far from an official announcement about the latest fixes and additions coming to the popular RPG.

Bethesda will undoubtedly have more to say on the subject in the near future. So check back soon for more details.

Marssin oitis Whiteruniin ja teetin itselleni sellaisen tuomiopäivän varustesetin ettei mitään rajaa. Daedric-jouskarista tuli aivan hullu tappoväline, jolla voi pudottaa heikoimman lajin lohikäärmeet pois yhdellä nuolella jos sattuu tulemaan kriittinen osuma.

Mitäs kivaa sulla on, että sait taottua noin jären aseen?

Olen pitänyt kohta parin kuukauden paussin Skyrimistä, niin voisikin jatkaa tahkoamista kunhan tuota päivitystä puskee

1.5 update are nearing release on consoles. Could be as early as tomorrow.

Some things coming down the road in April for all you Rage and Skyrim fans. April is gonna have some cool news and surprises. Stay tuned.

Eilinen Bethesdan twiitti:


Tulisipa tänään niin voisi pääsiäisviikonloppuna vähän jatkaa vanhaa tallennusta. 

Quick update for console players. Skyrim’s 1.5 update is now available on Xbox LIVE and we anticipate it will be available on PlayStation 3 later this afternoon.

We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support of the game. This week Todd informed me that the average Skyrim play time (across all three platforms) is 85 hours, and 30% of you have played more than 100 hours of the game. These are truly astounding numbers!

In the comings weeks and months, we’ll have some exciting news to share on the game. Stay tuned.

After the break, check out the features and bug fixes that 1.5 introduces for console players.

I'm away from my desk, but you might want to see if it's up now. I just received an email from Sony that leads me to believe it's being deployed now.

Skyrim saa virallisen tuen Kinectille!

Testailin eilen Skyrimiä uusimpien patchien kera yli kolmeen kuukauteen. Alkuvaikutelmana oli ainakin huomattavasti sulavampi meininki frameraten suhteen. Päätin sitten lähteä samoilemaan johonkin päämäärättömästi, kuitenkin suunnitelmana päästä sukeltelemaan ja ihmettelemään "uljaampaa" vedenalaista maailmaa.


Noh, noin 5 minuutin jälkeen löytyi ensimmäinen järvi, mutta mitäs mitäs KOKO PASKAHAN KAATUI VÄLITTÖMÄSTI KUN ÖRKIN HOMPPELINI PÄÄSI PINNAN ALLE. Välitön ragequit ja Frasier telkusta pyörimään. Eikä tällä hetkellä tee mieli koskea koko paskaan toiseenkaan kolmeen kuukauteen. Vittu mitä paskaa.

We've seen reports of users having issues with the game freezing up when entering water. If you're having this issue, head to the PlayStation XMB menu. From there go to Game>Game Data Utility. Delete the game data and title updates for Skyrim.

Note: Game Data is not the same as your game saves. As long as you're not deleting anything from the game saves folder, you'll still have your saves.

Once you restart Skyrim, you'll need to wait for the 1.5 title update to reinstall, as well as the mandatory game data install.
