Hubdate 5 pictures were concept art right? : V

» Fri May 13, 2011 5:47 am

In the dragon shout update they had 3 pictures, the first of which was in the original GI article. Please tell me they're concept art and not actual screenshots because if they are, the art direction in this game seems to be very reminiscent of WoW.

I hate to sound condescending, but clearly they are concept art.

» Fri May 13, 2011 1:42 pm

The first one is a screen. The rest were Concept.
If Im not mistaken.

I can't understand how you would think those are screens, I also can't understand why you would have a problem with them if they were.

The first has the same "WoW-ish" art style to it though. And there was another one in the original GI article that looked like that too, the one of the guy sneaking in the woods. I'm just confused because in other screens (like the one in the pub with the woman in the foreground), the graphics look great. But those other ones look very much like World of Warcraft.

Definitely concept art. Speaking of which, do we have high res versions of them yet?

» Fri May 13, 2011 6:13 pm

I want to see the screen shots that were in the magazine here in digital form.

It's sometimes hard to tell with Skyrim. Refer to mountains on page 48, lul.

I do not see that at all. Also, it looks drawn because (I heard) they put it through a filter to make it look drawn.

WoW-ish? I assume you mean World of Warcraft, apparently you don't know what it looks like. It looks like this. http://www.wired.com/images/article/full/2008/07/wow_630px.jpg

Glad that's settled!

I want the high-res versions regardless if they are concept or in-game, they look awesome.

» Fri May 13, 2011 5:29 am

Yeah, I thought Reiner said he was putting up hi-res?

What, like rotoscoping? If they're putting the graphics through a filter to make it look drawn, doesn't that sort of prove my point on the graphics being like WoW?

In the last hub update thread, someone had posted direct links to the hi-res version of the screenshot and the concept art. That post has since been deleted (as far as I can tell because I can't find it). I did however, manage to save the hi-res version of the screenshot

Ugh... They put the SCREENSHOT through a filter. From my extremely limited experience as a 3D modeler, I don't believe you can even put a model THROUGH a filter.

I'm sorry but http://www.gameinformer.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Components-ImageFileViewer/CommunityServer-Components-SiteFiles-imagefeed-featured-bethesda-elderscrolls-elderscrollsv/dragonshoutfeatured.jpg_2D00_610x0.jpg looks absolutely nothing like http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo360/relvain/screen%20shots/WoW%20Screens/wellwearedead.jpg http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo360/relvain/screen%20shots/WoW%20Screens/Relvain14.jpg http://i391.photobucket.com/albums/oo360/relvain/screen%20shots/WoW%20Screens/RelvainDarnassusclifftree.jpg

Edit* @Stratocaster aww! I missed them?! :sadvaultboy:

Why would they do that?

@op there is four pictures not three. The first is in game and the other three is concept art. Looks nothing like wow. Look at the art on page 2...beautiful.

Don't be confused. If you saw the screenshots from the magazine, why would you be confused as to what the game looks like? Also, this concept art looks nothing like WoW, they're just loose in some areas, because thats how they paint.

» Fri May 13, 2011 7:48 am

Dude.....the first image (at the top of the first page, with the dragon flying overhead) is a screenshot,...and it looks absolutely nothing like WoW. The rest are images of concept art....they too look absolutely NOTHING like WoW. You may need Bifocals.

» Fri May 13, 2011 12:42 pm

Actually it reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus. Which is great.

» Fri May 13, 2011 10:55 am

i'm sorry, but i don't see why anybody would think that looks like wow. it looks nothing alike. wow has cartoon graphics for the most part. skyrim clearly does not.

:facepalm:

is it cause the picture is in a third-person perspective or something?

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:41 pm

that first pic is so epic, i hope its ingame

It is!

» Fri May 13, 2011 6:09 am

Is OP serious? None of this even slightly resembles wow. The closests thing I can see is that Skyrim concept art MAY remind you of WOW concept art, but you kno wha? Blizzard makes awesome concept art. But I don't even see that.. so what the heck??

WoW definitely doesn't look anywhere near as good as that screen lol.
