Seti and Sleign, the very antithesis of those among us on the forum who wish to remain in quiet ignorance.

You are absolutely correct on the matter of lighting, however. Case in point, the fabled "Oblivion in Crisis" video.

God this is getting old..

Graphics look great. People need to stop whining.

Also, clothes physics? Really? Its a screenshot. You might as well be whining that you don't like the animations.

I don't give a [censored], who does? Graphics are trivial and they've done a good enough job on them. The only things that bothered me in oblivion were the ugly-as-sin faces and the lack of dynamic shadows, and the map comprised of mostly flat terrain and trees, they've resolved all those issues so I'm happy.

If you right about the pc version great, I play on pc. If not oh well, I already think the graphics are awesome, artistically a much better looking game than Crysis, but Beth has given no indication for me to think that other than some higher res tex and resolutions it will look much better.

Todd said the PC version will have improved graphics...by a lot..HRM were was that because i remember bethesda stating;

1: all the games will look similar
2: the pc will get higher resolution texture's

Beyond that there is no solid concrete quote of any form of DX11 support, or larger texture's for the PC version.

Wait did you just say the graphics in crysis look average; have you ever looked at the texture work...seriously pause the video look at the plants in the first few seconds of the video or the rocks...or the ground. Crysis the is the most graphically intense game avialable on the market right now. Name a game right now in the current market that has better graphical fidelity than crysis.

dont think the image insert is working but yeah.

I'm not sure I understand. Of course, given the differences in controls, there will be differences in how players interact with the interface. But I took that as a given, in the context in which Todd was asked that question. I took the question Todd was answering to be more about the on-screen design of the interface. And on that point, Todd was pretty noncommittal about an interface design for the PC that would be significantly different to that for the Xbox/PS.

Close this bs thread you sad people

I hardly even consider Crysis a game. Just a glorified tech demo that has led to unrelentingly high graphical standards and all-around dissent among PC enthusiasts. It's like going around lamenting why Intel's processors can't compete with the military computers in the Pentagon. :mellow:

Devs say that alot..bit thats almost never true for good PC's. 1080p, max af, and max fsaa make a big difference.

No, I'm just tired of every response you have to me is thinking I'm overhyping the game when all I'm doing is seeing it for what it is. You have to have an eye for game transitions. You can see how much more amazing a PC version of a game looks over a 360 version and when you look at the quality of the 360 screens of Skyrim and see that they are equal to those of Crysis you can safely say it will be in the ballpark of Crysis, especially if the lighting is as pro as Crysis. I don't know why you keep bringing up directx options the game may have because I never said anything about it in this thread. What evidence to the contrary? I don't see any evidence to the contrary, the only "evidence" is a transcript from a todd interview in a hub update that could be miscommunicated. When todd and Pete say the same thing about PC features of Skyrim, I'll take their word for it over an obscure line in a hub update. Listen to the toddcast, you'll find it. The PC version will have PC only controls for the UI.



It looks JUST LIKE CRYSIS. Compare the screens! I keep telling you to compare the screens and no one listens, they are too busy thinking that no one can touch Crysis even though Metro 2033 already has. There aren't limitations to what can be done to the graphics on the game if the game is being made for the console first. You obviously don't work in the VGI because if you did you would know that you don't have to sacrifice graphics for gameplay, what determines if you have to sacrifice graphics is time limitations, not if the game is good.

To me it's

Music and sounds > Graphics

So no i'm not worried about graphics and yes I do play on a PC, why people can't look past graphics is beyond me

but there's just something about bad music and sounds that really turn me off a game

Most people who havent played crysis say this; Crysis unlike gives you Dues ex like choices on how to complete objectives; multiple entry ways/ directions of attack, and multiple ways to do said attack, maybe sneak in plant explosives sneak out and watch the fireworks. Story was meh but gameplay was great.

I don't see the big deal. I still play games from the 90s so graphics don't matter to me. As long as it is a solid game with good gameplay they could release it on the N64 for all I care. As long as the game is not released with gamebreaking problems (cough New Vegas) I will be happy.

Honestly, i think it looks like Oblivion 2.

Crappy grass and ground that look just like OB- i know this is the 360 here, but thats no excuse for this and that quiver is terrible.

I dont want to hate Skyrim's graphics, but until i see something better, this is all i have to go on.


And all these "cut them some slack their doing skyrim and that means blah balh balh" have no argument. It would be the same argument just to a larger extreme if they said this and Skyrim had 8-bit graphics. A good game, well very enjoyable nonetheless, is no excuse for budget cuts that make it look like its graphics are 6 years old. ESPECIALLY for a series that has a reputation of looking worlds better than each previous title.

I can only hope these are to Skyrim as MW's preview shots were to MW.

i think i should have put something more possitive for a title. people dont seem to read op and just rant about whats in the title. i should have changed it to "skyrim's graphics could be better" or "skyrim needs cloth physics,tesselation and texture tricks" (cloth physics comes first, but the other two are important)

The only things that matter on the PC version is the texture resolution and screen resolution. They've got dynamic shadows covered and faces look good, tessellation is the most useless feature to grace the game industry, and anti aliasing is almost utterly pointless when running at 1900x1600

I think I'll just close this little bit of inferno.
