If those Mountains are In-Game that definitely is PC cause an Xbox most likely cant render such magnificent beauty.

< graphics design/art major

that's concept art. Great piece of artwork, but the haze/clouds coming off the mountains gives it away.

Just a Twitter user :shrug:

Hmm, that's actually a very trustable source.

Hm, darn it. Oh well, the game still looks good.

It was me actually. I didnt expect him to respond though, nevermind twice, he kept quiet when I asked about them using the same policy regarding PC footage.. Would have liked a Yes or No but oh well

Also its Pete saying that we have seen PC screens already, not me

» Wed Sep 21, 2011 10:44 pm

again, I've no doubt that PC will be able to render the game better than a console, but Bethesda is thoroughly proud of their xbox version to say the least. Whatever PC screen shots they've shown, aren't going to be overly obvious for that very reason.

dude listen ... bethesda is 3 steps ahead of the public on a constant basis ... they will remain that way for eternity

they are toying with us ... why? ... because they want our undivided attention ... lol .. and they have it 100%

lol

Um I do not know but dont form an opinion because we don't know how they took the PC shots. Like another commenter said, might have been in 720p with AA turned off and other settings dropped to make it comparable.

I thought vsions said it was a screen? Well, either way it looks good. Just wonder about those screens though...

What?

This is from Pete Hines's Twitter...

that surprises me!!!!!!! :swear: damn you pete!!!!

» Thu Sep 22, 2011 1:18 am

oh actually he just said screens, blah screens who wants screens? Should of asked about any footage but assuming we can't know about screens I wouldn't hold my breath. Oh well more for release day eventhough probably will be 11-12 or 12-14 for me since Gamestop here don't ship til 11-11-11.

Those mountains don't look that good, i can't imagine a console wouldn't be able to do that.

Kinda surprised he answered a question like that to be honest.

I know, but I guess no one asked him about screenshots? It was a shot in the dark but Im surprised we've seen PC screens.. Too bad he didnt want to mention which ones, but at the same time I understand

I can't believe people are still this adamant in their opinion that the game looks graphically disappointing or just plain crap. I think what's really missing from the picture is cloth and hair physics, and that will definitely decrease the visuals no matter how good it might look, but the game is actually quite beautiful. The only other thing I can really complain about is the draw distance but that might be able to be taken care of.

The graphics do not look bad, stop spewing such blasphemy, people!!

I thought vsions said it was a screen? Well, either way it looks good. Just wonder about those screens though...

If it is a screen, then it is both an amazing rendering, but also a bit flawed in minor aspects like the low laying haze on the mountains. I'm in no way bashing the picture- it's absolutely amazing. But if it is a screen shot, the cloud/fog layering on the mountains lacks a bit in realism.

There's always a chance for me to be wrong. lol, a big one at that. But i'd like to think I know my art.

Some of the pics you posed look like they have ambient occlusion... Possibly 'shopped but very good looking nonetheless.

That seems right, yes.
The mountain range has to be a PC screen.

My guess is these two are probably the only PC screens.

The mountains are definitely beautiful! I can't tell if the first one is concept art or actual in-game footage. I'm inclined to think that it's concept art. I think Skyrim looks pretty good but not that good. Other than that, I guess my untrained eyes can't really see any difference. :shakehead:

» Thu Sep 22, 2011 6:31 am

My guesses too :yes:

same here. The structures are curved on the edges, showing that they've been worn away by time. The xbox version the edges of the structures are straight and show no amount of detail to the lines like these images do.

And I'm in no way bashing consoles for this. I'm buying mine on a console. I'm okay with whatever it lacks. If I can Roleplay in vanillia MW and OB, I sure as heck won't have any problems fitting into this game as well.

that's concept art. Great piece of artwork, but the haze/clouds coming off the mountains gives it away.

No, it isn't. It's a composite of several screenshots. Vsions confirmed this a while back.
