GI (Lack of) Update Today #6

Post » Thu May 05, 2011 8:22 pm

Wait, wait what? It's eeeepic imagine walking into a cave with that playing, or exploring a dungeon!


Epic is not the same as good.

I suppose it's a background exploration music... Doesn't have to be intrusive.


Indeed so.
Intrusiveness has nothing to do with the matter though. It's not very good music in itself.

There's a screenshot of the new frost trolls on page 55 of the GI Article. (http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1160159-new-screenshot/)

Anyways if you look at that screenshot and compare it to the one http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6104/mkyj.jpg they are far more similar in appearance. Although they are early screens (2009?) it doesn't look like we'll be seeing the frost trolls or cave trolls looking nearly as good as that http://oi55.tinypic.com/16le97p.jpg. The cave troll or whatever that was in the video looked remarkably more menacing and scary. They definitely carry a considerably more sinister look to them then the http://images.uesp.net//1/1a/OBCreature-troll.jpg in Oblivion. Maybe from now until the game comes out they can change it but I doubt it. I don't think the actual difference from Oblivion's trolls to Skyrim trolls will be that notable. Sure they'll look white as they are frost trolls and less ape-like sort of but basically they carry the same look to them as the Oblivion ones. I'm hoping they have some creature though that looks as good as the one in the time lapse video.

If im not mistaken, the screenshot is from the xbox version. Hopefully the graphics will be at least a bit better on the pc version. Would been quite annoying if the graphics are getting dumbed down even on the pc version, just because xbox and ps3 cant handle a big improvement.

The thread was locked as well..

Because it's said that it's a scan. But it doesn't look like a scan to me. I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few scans in my day. :hubbahubba:

Exactly something is really off. Also, in the new piece of concept art from yesterday's video what is that light blue to the left of the pic? Is it water, ice, mist?

shut up, shut up, shut up with the pc versus consoles stuff we have all had it with this bull and your whining little elitist wanna be attitudes toward consoles, if it was built more with high end pc's in mind ya all would be whining about having to upgrade your old pc's, I wish this game was console exclusive then we wouldnt even have to worry bout you guys at all, BTW I too am a pc gamer but only for the downloadable mods not because I wanna see better graphics, if they get much better on the console I am gonna start thinking im in rl now so how much better do you want it ? matrix real ? come on, just stop it !!! pls

Nick confirmed it today - that is as good as it gets.

It would go completely against their stated philosophy regarding modding if they didn't, the news today that we will get a CS (while utterly refreshing) was not un-expected.

All that remains to be seen is how much the CS includes, things like Havok, Lip Sync and other co-joined apps are not assured to be apart of the CS. All we can do is hope it is as least as robust as the GECK was, which is a completely awesome CS tool already.

It's from 2009 and unfinished. We can see the purpose of the reverse-concept art here. If you have read the GI article, there is a picture of a troll in there that very much resembles the one in the drawing made over that screen. It looks really good.
