Usually the graphics turn out to be even worse than what's shown in previews and such. Remember that old Oblivion preview with dynamic shadows?
lol
Don't go shattering my hopes. Don't get me wrong, the graphics don't look bad by an stretch of the imagination, they just look...normal, whereas I was expecting non-filtered massive landscape panoramas of Crysis quality to be demoed.
It seems that Bethesda didn't want to show that angle of it off though strangely, which is a little confusing considering I always regarded Oblivion as the pinnacle of open-world graphics back in 2006 or so. Seems they are focusing more on the gameplay and story in Game Informer than on the graphics which is a little worrying (to me...I am sure others appreciate this angle). So long as they allow better settings for PCs and allow modders the possibilities to more easily overhaul the graphics and other features though, I will remain extremely interested,
