Dear oh dear, what a sh*tshow this is. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition got its first ever live gameplay demo on Geoff Keighley's YouTube Gaming show last night, and it's just about the crappiest thing that you'll see today.
The game itself is, well, looking very much like the Skyrim that we all know and (maybe) love, but the people playing it make an absolute mess of the whole showing. Featuring Nadeshot - who is apparently a former pro Call of Duty player - and some guy from YouTube channel Funhaus, we get what is probably the worst demonstration of a title like Skyrim that we can imagine.
Instead of showing off stuff like the remaster's enhanced graphics - you know, things that people actually want to see - good old Nadeshot decides it'd be fun to chase wildlife across vast reaches of nothingness and attempt to take on Whiterun guards as a level 6 character. The video is essentially nine minutes of pain for anyone who's familiar with the role-playing release.
Naturally, the demo has a large amount of dislikes over on its YouTube page, but we just can't believe how much of a missed opportunity this is. The first public showing of a highly anticipated remaster, and this is how you do it? Embarrassing, and we even feel sorry for Geoff for having to put up with such a disaster.

There are some great Skyrim players and fans out there who could have showcased their skills and love for the franchise. But I do not think this will matter much those who want the game will still buy it.

There's the issues, a couple of knuckleheads playing it.
Technically the first public showing of skyrim remastered was in the nintendo switch video. Figured it's fair game since you're covering it on a PS site
Those load time do not look good.
A former Call of duty player and funhous.... ummmmm
A demo of how not to play skyrim. It does look good though can't wait to see it in Native 4K on the PRO
@wagleton Neither do the graphics Special Edition my .... Just as I expected from them.
They made the game even more boring, impressive.
Wow that just about sums up 90% of the gaming channels on YouTube utter annoying rubbish.
This and Fallout 4 are the most overrated games I've played in my life!
With that said maybe I can enjoy the remaster a little more than I did the first time...
Aww come on, guys. I adore Funhaus, they're so great. They often play like crap, but that's a part of their funniness.
@RoadsidePicnic Mind your language, please - Mod
Fortunately we have Pushsquare for our gaming needs. If it was just nadeshot and funhaus out there, I would probably pick another hobby.
It just looks the same to me, feels like it's just one big cash grab, instead of remastering skyrim (which it didn't need) I wish they had done Oblivion.
@DirectAim the game looked exactly the same to me , I couldnt tell a graphical change tbh.
