I never said it was wrong ( ^.^ )

Oh my.

Crysis graphics really aren't that good in my opinion. They are certainly over rated.

Can you find a video which depicts better in-game graphics than in the video in the OP?

Next time, boys.Not this generation, but I bet you TES VI looks just as good. Which I'm all for. A dragon THAT photo-realistic? yes, please. TES is all about making their games look beautiful and realistic. PS4, Xbox720, and... PCs make this happen for us TES fans.

Not really, ultra realistic graphics are just not for me because it hurts my eyes. While graphics do count to some extent there is a reason I play morrowind over a game like gears of war 3 and it is not the graphics

Gameplay matters and for immersion I like the 'fantasy' style of graphics more than 'look how grey/shiny we can make a game'

Just my opinion though

I find it hillarious how some people in this thread are calling Crysis' modded graphics overrated or bad, even though they are THE most detailed and realistic graphics in any game at this time. :facepalm:

I wouldnt want Skyrim to look like it really, it doesnt fit the world imo. But to say that Crysis looks bad is just plain stupid or console fanboyism (I went there)

I wanted to play Crysis, I would buy Crysis, I want Skyrim, and I'll play Skyrim.

bleck im getting sea sick :sick: its to much bobbeling around and its too photo-realistic skyrim is just where it needs to be with graphics. :thumbsup:

So, the graphics shouldn't be any better? Are you going to complain when TESVI looks better than Skyrim?

Darn, that's sixy. Would be awesome

How can realistic graphics hurt your eyes? :huh: Does your eyes hurt when you walk in a real forest?

How horrible it must be to only see in black and white.

I really don't like that camera shake though, geez rewatched the video and it felt like I was getting motion sickness, I swear I don't move my head this much then I look around and HDR is burning my eyes!!!!

Sininen: Something about photo realistic style games I.e Battlefield 3, Crysis etc just seem to give me a headache, might be the camera shake though

[not that I wish to imply I'm a bf fan]

Isn't that what graphics are all about. I don't understand.

Absolutely. And you've completely missed the point. Nobody here says they are not, if they weren't, we wouldn't be discussing them, talking about our preferences.

@ Altmer Illusionit: Yes it is. He's comparing two extremes case, that's just plain stupid. I'm not (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) saying I would prefer bad graphics to good ones. I'm saying I'm not preferring good ones in every possible cases.

I find skyrim nature more immersive than Crysis. Since I play for immersion, not for gameplay, I couldn't play Crysis more than 20-30 minutes long. In a real-looking world absolute photorealism = total negation of the artistic direction. Even in a game like morrowind, where everything is inspired from the real world but it is far from similar, photorealism would ruin the artistic direction (not entirely though but still). And I like artistic direction far more than graphics. Morrowind look >>>>> Oblivion for me. Warcraft 2 look >>>>> Crysis for me (and f**** those who said it would be lying). Obviously I would prefer a HD warcraft 2 to a low def one, but I prefer a Skyrim like it is than a skyrim like in the video. And I prefer my cartoon War2 to it too.

So the camera is the problem, not the graphics? I understand that. The headbobbing is annoying.

Hasnt been outside for so long! The intense details hurt the brain :thumbsup:

No i never said that i said its just where it needs to be for this time around. by the time they make another TES after Skyrim it will be a whole new ballgame

I know, sadly though PC's already do it, we're just waiting for 2016+ for Sony and MS and by then mainstream technology will be well beyond those systems.

What's funny is back when Daggerfall was released, we all thought, "There's no way it can look better than this, it's so realistic!!"

HOLY STARS! (sorry for being off topic i just couldnt ignore that o.o)

After seeing MGE, I won't discount the mod community on anything. Really, all the tools for Skyrim's graphics to reach that level seem to be in the game. 90% of it is lighting. The trees in particular actually look pretty bad, but the dynamic shadowing hides almost all the flaws perfectly.

Also, the ground texture. I noticed the person isn't looking at the ground very often, that's usually the hardest thing to make very natural-looking, and even this mod doesn't hit it. ID's Megatexture probably comes the closest so far.

I do have to agree with some people though. I don't think Fantasy games should strive for photorealsim, because they're not trying to be real.

Graphics is good, but too real... for me at least. Plus headaches... it looking too real takes me out of the moment. If that makes any sense.

BF3 does not have the ammount of detail in its textures or models that Crysis has *yawn* that was easy, next.
