Skyrim looks much better when...

Post » Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:27 pm

I saw it on gametrailers with my dvr set to 1080i. The scene where the dragon circles back to the character to swoop and attack right before dragonborn actually cuts the dragon looks great. From the fog in the distance, to the realistic looking wind blowing with cold air, the blood looks great because it is very pronounced, I love how the player gets covered with blood now. The shadowing effects are amazing! I think everything goes too fast to appreciate it and screen shots cannot show how alive the world feels I actually noticed that you can hear the game without the music in the background too, so it sounded either like a lot of wind or maybe that sound was the dragon coming in. Anyways just felt like SHARING my experience. I some of you take every little thing negatively so please don't say this is old news because these are just my thoughts people...

Oh and the water in the cave scenes look absolutely amazing could be some of the best looking flowing and moving water found in any game to date.

This is because it's the 360 version, it is meant to be viewed on a tv from across the room. A lot of people seem to forget the fact that the 360 isn't meant to be viewed up close on the PC, your going to be able to see the flaws but when viewed like it's supposed to on the tv, those flaws disappear. I watched the trailer on my tv through my computer when I first saw it when it came out, so I already had the view your supposed to see. The PC version will be meant to be seen close up on the PC so it will look smooth and perfect as well. People just need to remember in what context they are watching something or else they misinterpret it's true form.

just some friendly advice: Instead of posting twice just edit your original post and add the extra info in. Everyone should know that it will be stunning on the PC, no arguments there. the xbox 360 doesn't actually get to 1080p and neither does the ps3 so most definitely it will be graphically better on PC, depending on the individual PC of course.

Why are you starting a platform war? Please don't start the flames of war for no reason. He didn't say PCs were better than consoles, he said that the PC will look better, which is an inherent thing for being on the PC since they PCs have higher resolution, higher res textures, AA, AAA, higher quality water with full reflections instead of partial and higher quality shadows. It's just how PCs work, it doesn't make them better than the consoles as the consoles still look gorgeous on the TV and consoles have controllers (though I use my 360 controller on my PC :tongue:) So no one is attacking consoles, consoles are just as viable an option as PCs, it's all a matter of personal taste and how much one is willing to pay on hardware. Also, consoles are nice power for the cost and they are more user friendly than PCs.

The Platform war ends here!!!!

That's what I thought too, but most of them are actually rendered in 1280x720 and upscaled to 1920x1080.

They support 1080p, which means they can put it on the box. But the frames are actually rendered at 720p.

Hey yall, I'm not feeling the part where dragon born is doing that spin around flurry on the bandit because the dagger and the sword did not touch the bandit. I did hear somewhere about the hit detection needs to be tidied up. Did you guys see that? What do you think?

The only downside of concles is the fact the controlls needs to have dumbed down controlls. Remember Areana and Daggerfall had the player use the mouse movement to swing their weapons. Wow was that mind blowing. Moving the mouse as if I was really swing the sword/axe/mace ect. I know we never have as epic game play mechanices unless someone mobs skyrim to do so.

Well concles also can not do mods. I really like my PC for mods. Graphics are good and all as long as they do not cause the story/gameplay to svck.

It would be awsome to see a mod like that.

Hit detection was definitely "iffy" there. Was that Dovahkiin?

That's totally wrong. The distance you should view something on a screen varies with resolution and screen size.

Higher Resolutions are to be viewed closer, while larger screens should be viewed farther away. A 32"screen @ 720p should be viewed at approximately 3-4ft away. Hardly "Across a room".

It's probably worth mentioning as well, that Trailer Quality is always actually lower quality than the true game, because of compression and a ton of other things. I honestly thought everything about New Vegas looked hideous, until I finally got it, and saw it was just ugly, quite a step up! Of course, it works both ways, the Lower quality creates a level of visual bias that hides flaws.

Hit detection was definitely "iffy" there. Was that Dovahkiin?


It's hard, maybe impossible to tell if that was actually hit detection, or animation lag. It could have looked perfect in First person view, frankly though, I've never been a fan of the 'Twirl strike" attack anyway.

I believe so because the player is always dovakiin, that guy he just didn't have a helmet.
