ZeniMax Online Studios has delivered a rather vague E3 teaser for their upcoming MMO, The Elder Scrolls Online.
No one was expecting gameplay footage from a game that was just announced, but this trailer is drawing criticism for being a bit generic and lacking the feel of Bethesda's insanely popular Elder Scrolls world.
It's hard to tell much from this trailer, but the finished product will hopefully be a little less WoW/Oblivion and a little more Skyrim.
Required viewing: Joystiq's Richard Mitchell (who has apparently seen a demo of the game), talks to lead gameplay designer Nick Konkle about ESO's visual and character design.
Thoughts?

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, some Redditors have spotted three massive banners for Bethesda's recently-announced MMO The Elder Scrolls Online being painted on the Figueroa Hotel, located near the site of next week's E3.

First-time Flash animator aekime has created a cartoon nightmare scenario for anyone holding out hope that Gabe Newell will reveal a new Half-Life installment at this year's E3.
If you're such a rabid Half-Life fan that you'd actually bite off someone's ear just for saying they'd rather see another Left 4 Dead, you may want to look away to avoid mental trauma.
Actually, just turn it off after GabeN's hilarious entrance. It's not to be missed.
