badass this game is gonna be sweet yo

That should shut them up. ¬_¬

But should this really have a 360 symbol next to the name?

sweet, but in the second picture, isnt that woman suppose to be black?

Well, it's still a 360 game.

my msg will be bullet timed but I have to be honest... it's damn ugly. what on earth have they done to that beautiful game? sad, very sad... and we all know that the game wont look much better, preview version or not.

Oh yeah, look at how ugly this game is.

Seriously man, quit gaming.

Not only is this game gorgeous, it's HUGE. I really think some people are setting themselves up for a horrible generation of gaming based on ridiculously high expectations placed in their minds by companies.

People seem to forget its 16 squaremiles,its not a doom3 with tight corridors,this is a HUGE world.
The graphic looks 9/10 for me.

To be fair not every picture looks that good. In the forum I PERSONALLY linked the 2nd shot and said I thought it looked good, so I agree some parts look excellent. But the quality is uneven & if you were excited due to the a) E3 footage and b) E3 hype where they were bragging on their 3D Rendering engine, then yes, you could be a little disappointed.

For a non-RPG gamer I can understand the graphics and the real-time elements interesting someone. The relaxing in graphics would be akin to them moving away from real-time combat for a workable, but lesser real-time / turn based system. Would it still be a great game? Yeah, but it may have just turned off say, a Zelda fan who hates traditional RPGs. For those excited about a nice graphic engine to compete against the UE3 RPGs, well...

So I don't believe it is an either-or situation, but a both. Some stuff looks breathtaking, other stuff is a letdown compared to previous footage.

I dont know about anyone else, but im gonna find a nice patch of grass in the forest and live out the rest of my days there. If i sit close enough to the screen and put headphones on, i wont know the difference. right men!?!?!

I totally agree with you - was everyone this whiny at the dawn of the last generation, or is it just that the further proliferation of the internet has allowed more people to discover the pure unadultered joy of haunting forums to bitch about whatever happens to be on topic? And TBH, I think I'm going to stay away from the internet for a little while, because if I hear the term 'next-gen' (whatever that even means) one more fucking time, I'm going to puke.

Oh, and nice screenies. This game looks tight, yo.

I like how everything looks except for the character models. The dont look that much better than those in Morrowind. The horses looks awesome tho.

My favorite saying comes into play bigtime here. Screenshots or videos cannot do this game justice when we have this game in our 360s playing it on our computer monitors or hdtvs it will look much better than any screenshot we've seen.

The ONLY graphical complaint i've seen in regards to this game (and its a constant on both the pc and 360 version) They say there is some hill really far away that looks rather low res, but everything around you looks so damn great you don't see that far off distance looking funny as an imperfection.

I know what's happened with the "next-gen" generation, they have gotten too spoiled and base everything on a stinking screenshot. Seriously, the game looks GREAT on some shots and just OK on others.

But even if this game had the best graphics ever, it wouldn't matter if the gameplay, story, sound or presentation all sucked. Gameplay rules all, even though graphics and sound just help immerse you more.

Load up Morrowind on the normal Xbox and THEN complain about these shots...

these screen looks the same as the 360 version in term of graphics. i just want to see the final build of the game.

Yeah, I wanna sit down and play this thing. I have so many different versions/builds/PC/360 screens and movies that it's hard to tell WHAT it is gonna look like.

All I know, is that I was at the 360 Zero Hour Launch and one of the main Bethesda dudes played about 20 mins of Oblivion and it looked AWESOME. That was an old build..

There's a new video up on the Elder Scrolls website.

The difference between that hill and a hill in pretty much any other game is that you can actually walk, run, levitate or ride a unicorn to it and stand at the top and look down at where you came from! ;)

20 minute promo from October; first ~6 minutes are on the engine

The second video has some great gameplay demos. But it will also explain where some of us are coming from on the engine. The 93% from PC Gamers (and they said if the bugs were worked out it would have easily been a 96%) indicate this game plays GREAT.

Whoa... go download that new video.

*DROOL*

Optimus you crack me up! ;-)

And if you people wanna see ugly? Just go check out one of Myro's girlfriend....
Then come back and give this game some love.

The new video looks REALLY nice. The world is HUGE.

My one and only complaint about the games is this - where are my hot digital vixens?
