Im talking about modded Crysis here, so yes, Crysis' textures are much better. Models are also better. If you deny this then someone indeed does have a fan fever for battlefield, and fyi, its not me.

The bolded part, you make no friggin sense, so what, high res nice looking textures has nothing to do with the graphics? Its just the skill of the artists I guess.. Foolish kid is foolish.. :facepalm: ATTENTION TO DETAIL HAS AS MUCH TO DO WITH GRAPHICS AS ANYTHING

If I want real life i'll go outside. I prefer more artistic graphics and aesthetics. You can get way more creative that way. Photo realism is boring.

You may be the most succesful one...

All modern engines can get high res textures. Yet why don't all games have them? It's comes down to the devs and their choices. If you think that the Cry engine is the only engine that can get textures like that then your an idiot. They could put textures like that right now in Skyrim. There's nothing stopping them. They want the game to be more simple so it can reach a larger market. Modders will certainly be able to add better textures. Notice "add" is a verb. It's the devs, not the engine that determines the graphics quality. (Unless the engine is so old it can't support high res textures but thats a different story.)

What? I hope you're not implying what I think you are.

Yes, I will also go outside and slaughter a small fishing village instead of doing so in Skyrim. I will also go outside and battle dragons.

:teehee:

The reason why Skyrim (or Oblivion) doesn't look as realistic as shown in Crisis video is not because of 'artistry'. It's because the engine isn't capable of producing photo realistic effects.

Did any of you ever look at the textures in Oblivion? Many of them are photographies of real things. There is no special 'art direction' involved like in some other games. If we were talking about games like Borderlands or Rage, which indeed have a certain unrealistic (cartoon like) art style then I could accept what people post here. But in Oblivion or Skyrim there is none of this. If you'd put the meshes and textures into a better engine (like the Crisis engine) it would look photo realistic. If they could, they would make it look like that. And I bet the next ES game (after Skyrim) will look much more photo realistic if it is developed for next gen consoles.

But I guess many people here need to persuade themselves that every single part of Skyrim is better than in any other game. And of course when the next ES game is announced they will all cheer 'wow, look at the almost photo realistic graphics, I always wanted that!'.

An optimist?
Sorry is that insulting?

Too much motion blur and that is a custom map not a mod for the entire game just a small map , when you find an actual game that as graphics like that tell me

And now notice that engines do matter, Crysis also has advanced shaders and lighting making everything 100 times better looking, youre precious little BF3 NOR Skyrim is on the level that Crysis is, now if you dont realise that youre wrong, then youre an idiot.

I don't play battlefront it's not precious to me, I just have eyes. Once again most modern engines can support advanced shaders, and once again it comes down to actaully adding them in. Did you see that source engine video? It has way better shaders then Crysis yet it's made with an engine that predates it by two years. Again it's attention to detail. Textures aren't made in engines, they are made in programs similar to Photoshop. Models aren't made in engines either, they are made in things like 3DS MAX and Maya. How good a game looks is mostly determined by the skills of the devs, their attention to detail, and what their trying to achieve with the game. Bethesda could make the game look like that using the engine they use, but they choose not for very simple reasons that you choose to ignore.

Me, I still think it's a design choice. I don't know what the CE is capable of but it's unlikely isn't able to handle what's needed to make the game look *more* realistic than that. I might guess that a few features are too heavy for consoles and the devs have cut them out, but that's it.

On a side note, looks like a few people in here thinks that high resolution textures and a high polygon count is what makes graphics look photorealistic. Guys, it's all a matter of lighting. With the right lighting you can render a no textured cube in such a way that you can't possibly tell if it's real or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHBgkeXH9lU was made 10 years ago on an ATI 9700 by that f***ing genius named Paul Debevec [yes, it's real time rendering]. There are no hi-res textures nor high quality models in there.

So what youre saying is that Im right, point? Seriously I dont want to be offensive but so far youre arguing against yourself like a moron :facepalm:

To give some perspective, youre saying Crysis is only the best looking because the devs made it so, and that its not special because others could do it aswell if they wanted to. And the whole argument is that no game has yet to surpass Crysis' visuals.. Seriously you just come across as really dumb to me..

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

Do you think the creation engine is capable of those graphics though? Can it be modded to look like the videos I posted, just by the modding community?

You're comparing a game from 2011 to a game from 2007.

BF3 graphics look a lot less impressive when you're actually playing it, for some reason, though the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UwOrl036_A gameplay looks absolutely amazing.

All that needs to be done to make Skyrim look better is use better textures, better skies, and adjust the lighting a bit.
