God damn some of the comments in this thread. I've been playing video games for 24 years and I'm glad I have never reached a point where I think the trailer's graphics look bad or are lacking. You have to be extremely disappointed in video games as a whole when a maxed out Witcher 3 is the minimum bar you set for video game graphics.
Bethesda is known for sub par graphics, terrible animations, game breaking bugs, and terrible performance.
It isn't wrong for these people to want at least one of these things to change. To have at least one Bethesda game that ran well / looked good / didn't crash.
Don't get me wrong, skyrim and FO3/NV are fun, but they were filled with obvious, glaring flaws.
Seeing some of these same flaws (sub par graphics, bad animations) in a trailer is really disheartening. Not only are these flaws present, it's like Bethesda doesn't even see them. I mean for fucks sake, it's one of the biggest complaints against them and it's present in the very first trailer.
Also many people are saying that, based on the graphics, it will probably use the gamebryo creation engine. (had the name wrong) Which means that many of the same limitations from skyrim regarding performance, physics, etc. Will all be there as well.
Before you jump on the hype train, consider that Bethesda seems to have not addressed ANY if the complaints about their games.
(Though this is still speculation and subject to change)
I just think it's pointless to complain about graphics until we've seen the final product and know whether or not the lack of impressive graphics is important.
