BROS ITS THE GAMEBRO ENGINE BROS

[Perception] The Oblivion 2: Skyrim screenshot has been stretched.

 

[Jaesun]

Even if this game had the greatest achievement in graphics known to all Mankind, it's still fucking shit. So who cares.

I didn't know Dark Messiah looked that good

Added to to-play list.

It's even Skyway Approved™.

Dark Messiah is a game featuring small, enclosed environments, running on an engine designed entirely for that purpose. I think it's worth keeping in mind that, when it tries to do large outdoor areas, it really does not hold up very well... which of course is precisely Bethesda's strength.

 

[deuxhero]

Pre-Oblivion anyways.


Was just playing Dark Messiah... and in that same chapter not less! Why's the belt so huge?

 

[Trash]

Though I honestly do not give a fuck about anything Bethesda anymore I don't think that the graphics are that bad. I mean, there really is nothing wrong with this.

The animations on the other hand...

 

[Raapys]

Not really sure I'd say it's Bethesda's strength. I mean, Morrowind p.much always ran poorly and so did Oblivion. Or rather, when you threw in some mods to actually fill the game world, the games would start running like crap. Oblivion with the Nehrim mod will easily take my 3.8ghz quad core and Radeon 5870 down to unplayable fps, regardless of my graphical settings, depending on where I am in the world. Morrowind would run like crap on my P4 3ghz if I used the 'city expansion' or MoreNPCs mods back in the day.

So yeah...if it seems to run well with large areas, it's probably just because they don't fill them up. They save the detail for indoor areas, which are separate cells. Personally I'm more impressed with the Gothic games' engine, since it does everything Bethesda's gamebryo engine does, but with more(outdoors) detail and no separate cells.

This 100x times this.Comparing Source engine to gameBryo is retarded.

+ PC version of Skyrim will have hi-res textures , this is xbox screen-shot.

 

[Ulminati]

ITT we learn that xbawks screenshots use lower texture resolutions than pc screenshots.

Mind = blown.

 

[Freelance Henchman]

Man, the rape mods for this will be GLORIOUS.

 

[Trash]

Nah, the animations are too shit for that. Hah, now I see why that npc looked familiar. It's the Dexter chick!

 

[Bahamut]

lol @ the textures on that corset.

Lol on the shitty bump maps, you can see every single pixel ffs

 

[GarfunkeL]

And the tits are too small, anyway. :hasnoideaaboutgfx:

 

[meanwhileInPoland]

well skyrim looks better than dark mesiah on those screens... so whats the point of this thread ?

[MetalCraze]

ITT Trash forgets about Bethesda's prerendered screenshot tradition.
On pre-release screenshots Oblivion's faces also looked good.
How it turned out to be... well...

Also Skyrim which is made for 7 years old hardware has worse graphics than a game made for 5 years old hardware? No way.

 

[sgc_meltdown]

I look forward to seeing the Bethesda specialty of extremely wooden and mechanical npc interactions. Glorious modern 3D first person view is 100% immersion that puts isometric view to shame except when the people behave like malfunctioning pod people androids.

As mentioned already, they can't do consistency in textures. And also, it can't be that hard to make good hair, if modders can release 200 original haircuts in two days, you're telling me some idiot professional artists can't make 14 in 3 years?

Also, dead creepy eyes. I saw a screenshot of this in some PC mag scan, and it was dithered and all, but I thought oh wow, Bethesda has learned to make something else than frog/human mutants. Maybe not so much.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

And the tits are too small, anyway. :hasnoideaaboutgfx:

That's an astute observation. Indeed, the tits aren't succulent enough.

 

[ortucis]

The only thing I have issue with in all Bethesda games so far has been the normal mapping. It just feels.. wrong, overdone and way too low-res.

Actually, that is the problem. They use low-res normal maps for every texture and that makes everything looks like shit. If you have ever used mods for games like Oblivion, which increase the normal map resolution, you can see that even the old textures look way better (more detailed and crisp).

Other than that. Skyrim looks great so whatever. Judging from Bethesda's work on Fallout 3 for PC, I am expecting customizable options (way more than most PC developers bother adding) and possible high-res textures (as promised on Quakecon).

 

[sgc_meltdown]

actually bros it can have the greatest tits ever with the hottest lizardwomen in a land that looks so real you go brrr I'm roleplaying being cold and it will be still quite shit indeed until the detailed japanese mods get ported over
