That is AWESOME!!! Man, I can't wait for the game to come out!

BTW: Is this ingame footage?

If so, just the mountains itself do look A LOT hugher than whole Cyrodiil

It looks great, but strange, in that image.

The mountains and the fog/clouds don't look real. But they still look good. Kinda hard to explain...
Anyone who thinks the same?

Yeah looks a little like it's been drawn to me.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 1:08 pm

I remember either Pete or Gstaff said it was ingame

The clouds look strange because they seem like pieces of fluff placed on the mountain. In real-life the clouds would either be at one heigth or you would be able to see the flow of the clouds along the shapes of the mountains. These clouds might as well be fluffy piles of snow.

It might be in-game, but very doctored

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 7:02 pm

Yeah certainly not a natural in-game shot

To answer your question,
Yes I have , I have indeed seen these.

My hunch says that it must be the PC screenshot + some filters.

Well, it says "composite" in the filename. At best that just means it's a few ingame pictures stitched together to give a wider field of view.

Personally, I'm pretty sure it's at least partially ingame. The farthest mountains have a certain jagged LOD quality to them that's definitely Bethesda's doing.

Id be surprised if its realtime ingame just because of where the clouds are near the bottom.

Looks like fan-art or any random drawing of an alpine landschape, how is this associated with Skyrim in the first place?

Like... Overdone? I see it.

It was in the GI article, and Pete Hines confirmed it to be a screenshot.

Although I'm guessing that it's been touched up. No way have they just gone on a free roam camera, pulled up and snapped a picture of High Hrothgar. I would love to be proved wrong, but no way man.

Because its off the Zenimax website. and its says files/tes/screenshots/CompositeMountain and has a Bethesda Softworks copyright logo in the bottom right.

Same here, they look real in the sense that is what fog would look like, but not real because fog doesn't do that

It's on the elderscrolls.com website as a screen shot! I think with all the excitement yesterday regarding the video, folks forgot to check out the screen shots on the website, this was the only new one...

Are you sure that's in-game footage?

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 6:22 pm

It is artwork, i am pretty sure.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 9:59 am

This was in the GI magazine, and if I remember, Pete said it was in-game

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 1:48 pm

It's been confirmed by several employees that it's in-game.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:49 pm

Very well could be in-game, but I'd image the fog would animate like the smoke grenades in Call of Duty 2.

» Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:19 pm

It looks a little bit odd but not absolutely bizarre...

It seem to be much higher quality then the mountains we've seen already, my guess is it's a version of the PC or PS3 version of the game. Pete did confirm it was a screenshot on Twitter but I have this gut feeling telling me he was mistaken in which shot people were taking about.

Is it just the sunlight, or is there a Falloutesque shininess to the rocks?
