PC gameplay and screenshots

Post » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:50 am

After the horrible disappointment I've experienced with the horrible visuals from RAGE on my high-end PC even though the screenshots looked promising, I've started to drastically lose faith in Bethesda and ergo Skyrim.

I am absolutely DONE with being fed gameplay footage from the console, like with RAGE. Before my RAGE disappointment I always thought -- being obviously naive -- "The graphics don't look sharp and kinda crap, but I bet they look great on PC.". Now I understand why Bethesda and Id Software never had the guts to show PC footage from RAGE because [fill in the 200 valid arguments from the 2.000.000 raging PC gamers].

Now, I know that some people will wanna flame me saying that that's the precise reason developers don't show PC footage: Because PC gamers rage and complain all the time. That's an invalid argument. We only rage and complain when we're being fed another crap port. No complaining about Batman Arkham Asylum or Deus Ex Human Revolution, for example.

So, to the point: Can we PC gamers get to see some footage from the actual PC version of the game? After RAGE I no longer believe the words "On PC it will look better.". I need proof.

Are you guys with me on this or am I somehow the only PC gamer with this desire?

I thought the problem with Rage was due to drivers and solved by now.

@ArenthianSniper One was confirmed to be a PC screenshot. It's resolution is not supported by consoles.

@OP Please use the search function. This has been discussed to death.

I hope you do realize I'm moreso aiming for gameplay vids. Screenshots can be tempered with or be made with impossible settings that would make the game run on 0,2 fps on the most expensive available gig out there.

Never truly solved. Atleast not for me. Besides.. it needed an unacceptable amount of tempering for it to look and run acceptable (with minimal texture popping). Someone who works 40 hours a week most of the times can't be arsed to do that or they'd probably be in the game designing business themselves.

Eeven though rage was made by another team/group would still like to see pc footage now while the money from microsoft is nice to show mainly their xbox stuff perhaps asking for a chance to show more pc stuff is in order?

So worries over RAGE and dual wield blocking are the new spears and attributes.

BTW, PC version has an 85 average metacritic.

*sigh* Sometimes it seems as if people can obviously read, but don't understand what it is they're reading.

Specs say only a little about what to expect visually, if not nothing at all. On the exact same system, bad coding can make a crappy looking game run crappy, while good coding can make an unbelievably impressive looking game run good. It's all in the engine. I ask for gameplay vids to show me this engine rocks or svcks. The fact that there isn't any PC gameplay footage out there, makes me scared.

I want to see announced PC footage. The whole "we've shown you PC screens, we just didn't tell you which ones" thing is insulting and extremely childish.

I suggest that you don't buy it and wait for reviews. That's certainly better than buying it and being disappointed.

I can understand why you're nervous but using Rage as an example is not a good reason at all... Blame I.d. for that one... Bethesda only published the game

... You realize a lot of the issues behind optimization is from broad chipsets and various parts? If the game is designed on their PCs, it will likely run damn well on their machine respectively. We also would have no idea on footage whether or not they turned down settings or tweaked for frame-rates if issues occurred.

Optimization issues are no reason to avoid spec recommendations, and optimization issues are no reason to have gameplay videos over them instead.

Be nice to see some PC footage of course.

But getting all worried because of rage is rather stupid, Skyrim will likely have bugs and a few issues but it would of had them regardless of whether rage existed or not.
