Hi-res Oblivion
>> Anonymous
why does the new zelda look better
>> Anonymous
Because it's not as broad or complex as oblivion? Seriously, how can you even compare that linear bullshit to this? And no, I'm not saying Oblivion is a great game - it's average at best when compared to Morrowind.

Lolz ya practically turned the grass and tree distance and dis/land render off. That's why it looks bad. What, you have a kiddie machine? It is absolutely gorgeous on mine. I'd screenshot but I lent it to my girlfriend. How about maxing everything out and then taking the shot? You can always turn them off later.

it could be he took a screen cap on some good play settings, and not HQ settings. the game requires a pretty powerful PC to look as betiful as it claims to be.
>> te2rx
you need to mod the game further to get the long-range stuff to look not as splotchy IIRC.

You don't have to install mods to get it to look better (though there are some that revamp the textures and meshes, pretty good ones too), you can edit the .ini to enhance various things beyond the in-game options limit, but most of the things really worth cranking up require a monster machine. Most people can't handle setting all the sliders to max, let alone messing with the .ini file. You can also use that to remove/disable things too, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you know exactly what you're disabling.

I'd like to see some wide shots with maxed settings.

god, you faggots are hilarious.

no wonder beth decided to make a 360 title and port it to pc, instead of the other way around.

put on all the mods you like. no amount of cosmetics will ever hide the fact that oblivion is a scam, designwise and conceptually.

daggerfall and morrowind >>>>> oblivion.

Well, fuck, you know. This thread made me think.

What the hell is this crap about resolution/detail level/monster gaming PCs? When'd ya'll forget to have FUN?
I only realized this a while ago so I won't look like a pretentious fag, but many of you are fucking wonderful people but you fail to realize that games are supposed to be fun and exciting and enjoyable ... not a fucking trek to have the most beautiful graphics. This in part is due to the game producers who hire people to give them X amount of polygons/screen, x amount of detail ... and somewhere along the way, games stopped being fun. When I play things like Doom 3, I'm just thinking "what's fun here? yeah, it looks like sex, but .. what am I doing? just looking? shit, that's not fun"
Dunno ... maybe some and maybe most of you already realize this, but it's worth putting out for people who don't know it. I LIKE MMORPGs, but I usually stop playing as soon as I'm expected to farm loot to pay for better equipment. It's tendious and unfun. It's not hardcore that you've spent so much time to obtain so little reward. I mean, that cubilus flash game on addictinggames.com is a lot more fun than, say, Lineage 2. Sure Lineage looks like sex, but it gets boring and repetative and shit.

I don't know if I've made ANY valid points in this post, but I do have a genuine kind intent and an honest message: ask yourself if you're having fun. I know gaming is addicting, but shit man, if it's not fun, stop doing it. Go outside and do some other shit. When you come back, that new gun will look so much more kickass - so much more beyond a simple stepping stone to the next kickass gun.

Just sayin'.

He has a point.
>> games=no fun anymore NA
reagrding the point made about many games being all spiffy graphics but no fun in the end...

I laughed my ass off when my coworker was all hyped up for Doom 3, went and bought it the day it came out, next day he's going on and on about the awesome graphics all day at work... by the end of the week he was bitching that the games suck monkey ballz and was pissed he spent the money on it. he said yeah sure the graphics are super dooper but the game play sucked - he said it was so predictable - he called it a "monster in the closet" game... he said every room he went into he already knew there would be x number of monsters then when U opened a closet door there was always 2 monsters then when you left the room then came back to the same room there was always 2 more monsters... room after room after room were all the same... he got bored big time.

I've noticed that for years now... these dyas I hardly play any games anymore - the ones I do play usually aren't the one with the bleeding edge fancy boy graphics.
actually I think some of best games were the ones form 20 years ago on the atari 800, Commadore 64 and Amiga... sure by today's "standards" the graphics on those games blow huge monkey chunks but U know, I still think they are MORE FUN to actually play - and play over and over again...
many of the games back then had a hell of a lot more "playability" and "re-playability" then the games that get churned out now.
some of my all time favs are Pirates!, Archon, BeachHead II, Wings, FlashBack, Ballblaster, and Civilization II...

anyway, throw my 2 cents in the jar.

Nice picture. Too bad the thread devolved into "this game sux" argument.

You utter bastard. Now I want that game, and I KNOW it will never exist.

yeah I gotta say after a week of hardcore playing I am pretty bored with this game and just want to fullfil the main quest and uninstall it. I remember having much more immersion from Morrowind.

Obviously no one here played Prey yet, the gameplay is awesome and fresh ya know

The main problem is that in america the market is dominated and influenced GREATLY by people who have just come onto the scene (post ps2, maybe even xbox) and therefore expect their games to look great over anything else. Since that is by far the easiest way to gain hype developers spend more time trying to wow reviewers with screens & BS than making a game people would actually consider buying as opposed to renting.

I'm not saying there aren't any good games out now or coming out soon, just much much fewer than previous years/ game systems. I haven't purchased a pc game since morrowind came out, and am sure glad I didn't pay for oblivion, looks nice, but soooo uninteresting.

the thing is though I thought the landscape of oblviion was lush and pretty the actual 3D models and animations of the NPC's and creatures were quite awful. Even though I have a 7900GT card with all settings cranked to full, every NPC i talked to had a very flat boring textured face (not much better than Quake 2 quality) with fucked up bug eyes, the elves looked like they had down syndrome and my horse had about as much movement as a carousel horse. This game was totally brought down to "console" level and once the inital ooh ahh of the first playing session wore off I found that underneath the game had little to offer over any other fantasy RPG. Who cares if you can find and explore hundreds of caves and ruins when in the end they ALL look the same and all you ever find when your a lower level chracter is cloth and few iron swords and would it hurt to get more than 5 voice actors to do hunderds of NPC's? All I can say is I hope Neverwinter Nights 2 or Dark Messiah will bring some substance to the RPG table once more.

I liked oblivion, played all the quests etc through. The graphics were set to max too, the fps managed to stay over 40 which is enough for a single player game. Sure the game could've been better, but I enjoyed playing it. I've only played morrowind on a Nokia N-Gage QD so I can't compare the two games.

OP here, I took this screenshot with everything maxed, and with various tweaks to make the LOD larger and have more crap in it, along with lots of mods to make the long distance terrain look better. At long range views like this, the game looks like shit.

Hey, you ever play a pseudo-Archon sequel called Dark Legions? hella fun.

lolz...We need to kidnap Sony execs and make them play old DOS/Windows games.
Anyone familiar with Stratosphere? Giant flying island kingdoms doing battle with one another, Homeworld style? Hahaha, imagine that on PS3.
