It's a guy playing the beginning of the game, it's filmed in vertical with the phone :) Will most likely be taken down very soon.

I didn't watch the intro, just skimmed through the gameplay parts, looks really good.

Only thing holding me back from pre order is PC performance and just performance in general. Imo Bethesda games on PC don't play well. So I have been holding out hope reviews before release can tell me. PC ports have been terrible this year :)

It's not going to be a port AFAIK. Bethesda always made games focusing on PC and modding, and with a decent performance.

Let's not pretend that just because Bethesda started out as a PC developer that it means the games run well. I still can't get a stable frame rate on Fallout 4 in all areas, shit I still can't get a stable frame rate in Oblivion due to the game's own optimization being a bottleneck. Their games are very moddable, but their huge amount of content and dynamic mechanics have clearly made it difficult to optimize.

Hopefully the game will run decently, but I doubt it'll be a totally seamless and smooth experience, though I'd love to be proven wrong.

Well, I said decent, and not good or amazing for a reason. Their games aren't the pinnacle of optimization, but also they are far from the shitty ports out there, specially given how massive their games usually are.

That said, I would never preorder a game. I'm confident that it will be good, but I will see that when it's released.
