The head bobbing might not agree with everybody, but those are some fantastic graphics. And the ambient bird sounds were great too... if it's easy enough I might just use that sound file in Skyrim's forests.

Unlikely. That's amazing, though.

I hope not, that's too photo-realistic.

Is this real life?

Most likely not, due to various reasons I'm too stupid to know but people with more knowledge have explained on the forums.

P.s. those animations in that game really bug me, rather not play it regardless of the graphics.

Heh, Maybe in 10 years.

A graphics mod for a game that is considered to have some of the best graphics out there is not comparable to Skyrim.

Why is that a problem?

This. I want to play a game, not a reality simulator.

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.

Mods can only add so much - to be able to mod something in, the game engine must be able to do it in the first place.
It may be that Skyrims engine will allow it to be upgraded graphically to that extent. I wouldnt know without taking a look, lol. xD

It's possible to have photorealistic graphics depict something fantastical. Something like this: http://wallpaperstock.net/avatar-pandora-2_wallpapers_16293_1440x900_1.html

The water is beyond impressive and the shadows look totally brill.

Too photo-realistic? :huh: You preffer worst graphics? Why?

Uncanny Valley. Photorealism detracts my immersion.

I JUST WANT TO PUT A SWORD IN THAT MAN'S HANDS!

looks ok

Think they might mean too much like real life, people want more LOTR forest than real life pine forest.

I like my games to look like a game. Good graphics are one thing, high definition hyper-realistic graphics are another.

Photorealism is, by definition, beyond the uncanny valley.

Photorealistic isn't necessarily better. From what I saw of that demo all that's different from Skyrim is the color of everything is better matched to the real world. Looking at the grass it doesn't seem all that different from Oblivion. And depth of field is the lamest feature ever conceived and should be banished from all games forevermore!

No thank you.

I'm just not seeing the photo realism everyone claims to see in Crysis. Does not look all that great to me and that video demonstrated some serious WTF moments too. briast stroke in 6" of water,swimming animation continues on after exiting water and how about the bird turning in a cardboard cutout after being shot and bouncing of the terrain and disappearing. Crysis is far from being the "greatest game ever made" that people make it out to be.

Yeah strictly speaking. But on this video we're far from beyond it.

LOTR was made in natural scenarios in New Zealand. As it seem by other posts, some people indeed think that graphics should not look to realistic. Each person is a different universe
