Idiots crying about the textures: get the PC version. It will have dx11 features and higher res textures.

the high brightness makes them look like magazine screenshots so that they look good when they are printed.

Is DX11 confirmed?

Fjordson · Jul 23, 2011

Wasn't it no DX11 at launch, but possibly later on? Or that it won't use the full "feaure-set" of DX11.

Yes. Though I think "possibly" can be changed to "with a remote chance for it".

Doesn't look very good. I'm sure once it releases, we will all praise it.

Blue Ninja · Jul 23, 2011

That looks a lot better. Not perfect, but a lot easier on the eyes. :lol Thanks!

Stop nagging about some screenshots. You've all seen it in motion already, why would you even care about some shots?

Not having people express opinions of these shots would make this thread redundant, no?

The game looks serviceable I guess, I wasn't expecting to be blown away. Hope the main quest isn't a pos.

PjotrStroganov · Jul 23, 2011

Doesn't look bad. But indoor lighting is terrible. No shadows?

baah stop ya whinin'! Games gonna be awesome.

I wasn't especially impressed by the video footage either. The game looks slightly better than Oblivion but that's not saying much. It still looks like the Gamebryo engine.

Reminds me of a high res Morrowind mod.

I think there's some bump mapping there that Morrowind couldn't do. But yeah, the lighting is hilarious. Takes me back to the 90s.

No.

Gamebryo had a sepeate texture layer for faking AO on the environment, I wonder if this engine has it or if they'll add it in later..

JetBlackPanda · Jul 23, 2011

Wtf is going on? Game looks incredible for an open world game.

People need to chill.

mysteriousmage09 · Jul 23, 2011

Game looks very average for for what it should be for a late 2011 title. Game will look ridiculous once the modders get through with it though.

PC version will look basically the same with increased reolution and AA/AF. Todd Howard said it himself.

Those mods will come 1+ year after release, crash the game every twenty minutes, make the game incompatible with DLC and take 4 hours and a computer science degree to install.

Mods will never, ever be anywhere near as good as dev made graphics and people should stop pretending they will be.

The first texture/graphic enhancement mods came out pretty fast after the release of OB/FO3/NV, I don't see Skyrim being any different in that regard. And the rest of that first paragraph is just blatant lies.

And yeah maybe they won't all be as good... Many of them are much better.

Completely false pretty much, New Vegas hasn't been out for a year and there are extensive high quality texture mods for it. As for crashing every twenty minutes, that's laughable. Adding mods doesn't = more crashing unless you've made a botch of it or it's a poorly made mod. It couldn't really be easier to install mods for Gamebryo Elderscrolls/Fallout games tbh. Texture mods especially as it's just a case of drag and drop into one folder, and tick a box in Mod Manager.

They better just stop releasing 360 screens, these visuals don´t impress anyone in 2011.

I think you'd be surprised by the average magazine reader.

Messed with the luminosity to better represent what you'll be seeing on your TV.

Blue Ninja · Jul 23, 2011

I think some of us may not have seen this yet.

EDIT: Wait, so there's three Skyrim threads now? Gods, save us.

spirity · Jul 23, 2011

Oh my god. I was going to spend my playtime staring at walls and musing over leather armor strips, but i can already see Bethesda has lost their minds.

Its gonna suck. I'm gonna go back to screenshots of Lightnings hair.

Why is Triple H in Skyrim?

I thought it was Dog the Bounty Hunter... getting ready to collect on a bounty, lol.

All kidding aside, the low resolution textures here and there do not even phase me. The game still looks great and has this rugged, earthy tone that fits like a glove. I am especially loving the Autumn forest setting. I imagine I'll be spending a lot of time in that region.

Saige · Jul 23, 2011

Man some of those textures are rough. The wait for a goty edition and then mod the hell out of it route seems better and better the more they show off of the game.

Looks phenomenal

ironcreed · Jul 23, 2011

Hell, we have seen it in motion and it looks fine. Suddenly this batch of screens is supposed to nullify that?

Ceebs · Jul 23, 2011

LOZLINK said:
Doesn't look that impressive at all.

I'll agree. Something about their texture mapping is off. It all looks like it's sort of melting together to me.

Cptkrush said:

Yeah, looks plenty good enough to me. Seeing it motion tells the tale. Not a bunch of static screens.

I have specifically colored this response so that it looks as if you're looking at it on the display you're currently using to look at it.

Brigandier · Jul 23, 2011

Hopefully just the console version or even an old build or something because these screens are extremely underwhelming imo.

All screens are the 360 version.

And they look good to me, especially that first one. That's a wonderful shot with the mountain in the background.

Did you really just compare a 360 screen to The goddamn Witcher?

bananaman1234 · Jul 23, 2011

Arcipello said:
is this REALLY a new engine they are using???? the lighting is soooo flat

It's not exactly new. It's a heavily modified version of the gamebryo engine used for oblivion and fallout 3/NV.

Brigandier · Jul 23, 2011

Blue Ninja said:

I'll take back my underwhelming comment then it's not bad at all for such old equipment, But I get the feeling that Bethesda will cheaply port it to PC.

Rad- · Jul 23, 2011

Like many people said, it looks just fine in motion. I still don't like the bright dungeons though.

It's really no excuse considering how Gears of War and Arkham City look on the same exact hardware.

The lighting here is terrible.

DSN2K · Jul 23, 2011

where is the self shadowing ?

Cow Mengde · Jul 23, 2011

Where are the "good" graphics? The bullshots didn't look very impressive from the start, and these look even worse.

loganclaws · Jul 23, 2011

Gravijah said:

Well according to Bethesda the PC version is not gonna look any different aside from the higher res! In any case it's not just the texture work but the art in general seems so bland in comparison.

I'm looking at that and nothing has changed with Bathesda. Characters and objects are constantly falling through the floor/walls/trees. The weapon goes through the hands of the main character.

They need to hire some people that can spot that shit because they apparently can't see things constantly going through other objects.

It's hard to judge how the game looks with such low quality video. It might FLOW nicely as a complete package, but I'm not really seeing great graphics.
