Beautiful.

GDJustin · Oct 22, 2004

I hate how today's "modern" graphics somehow manage to make dirt look shiny, not to mention everything else

cybamerc · Oct 22, 2004

The scans made it look better. Looks quite poor to be honest.

....What?

Redbeard · Oct 22, 2004

In fact, one of the interesting problems that the team has had to face came about precisely because the AI is so good. According to Howard, the AI has caused guards to decide to eat and go hunting deer, only to get themselves arrested for attacking something. When they fight back against the arresting guard, the other guards see a fight and try to join in. In not too much time, every guard in the town was involved in the scuffle, which left the rest of the town open to thievery by other NPCs, resulting in empty stores. Much of the team's current effort is going into putting sensible governors on the AI's behavior to avoid situations like empty stores that would result in situations that wouldn't be fun for the player.

This time around, will they make it fun? Morrowind put me to sleep. Still, it does look good.

aerofx · Oct 22, 2004

Nice but honestly when I see the pictures all I see is a big lagfest.

The poor quality of the scans hid the ugliness.

xexex · Oct 22, 2004

looks good, but this is not even running on Xbox 2 or PS3 yet. just PC. just think what games will look like on Xbox 2, Revolution and PS3 in 1-2 years time. then imagine 2nd gen games on the new consoles in 3-4 years time.

How do you get lag when it's an offline RPG?

lordmrw · Oct 22, 2004

i assumed someone had posted a thread with these pics when last month's Game Informer came out, but I guess I was wrong. This is a nice example of what I'm expecting from next gen.

What scans? These are shots from IGN. AND they look marvelous!

Culex:

Some of these screens were printed in Game Informer a while ago.

> AND they look marvelous!

Marvelously ugly.

raYne · Oct 22, 2004

Whoa.. looks fantastic. Fable-owned medieval style!*

Is the last one even supposed to be in game/gameplay? Doesn't look like it at all to me.

*visually

Project Midway · Oct 22, 2004

wtf are these fanboys smoking? These screens look awesome!

johnjohnson · Oct 22, 2004

Holy **** do these screens look awesome!

Bregor · Oct 22, 2004

Looks great!

Cimarron · Oct 22, 2004

Can't wait! Morrowind has to be one of the best rpg's i have played in years.

Meier · Oct 22, 2004

Oh my god.. my computer and heart aches at those screens. Put in over 160 hours into Morrowind and its expansions but I know I wont be able to play this one.. at least, looking like that.

Docpan · Oct 22, 2004

THE ART IS TERRIBLE, LONG LIVE ANIME STYLE WESTERN DEVELOPERS PHAIL, GUY ISNT SKINNY/PALE ENOUGH. UNIMAGINATIVE!

You'll upgrade long before this comes out... and it'll still run like ass.

Nail, meet hammer.

Seriously, the game looks absolutely gorgeous. I mean, look at those trees!

That's what people said about Doom 3 and I get 60-70fps.

golem · Oct 22, 2004

it will probably come out for xenon if you're worried about upgrading

Takuan · Oct 22, 2004

The last one is art, not a gameplay shot. It does look nice, though.

Unless you have an Athlon64 and a Video card from the future, that frame rate is when you're standing still. Or you got the settings down.

Doom3 ain't bad at all, but it does not hold that framerate.

Psyborg and Nindroid weed.

Xenon...come to Cockles.

Blackace · Oct 22, 2004

If it looks this good when it comes out I will be a happy man... but Morrowind didn't look nearly as good as the screen shots 9 months before it hit the market... (cries)

Last I checked they are planning on releasing the game on the PS3 too.

ferricide · Oct 22, 2004

wow. it looks like bethesda hired an art director. good move!

seismologist · Oct 22, 2004

Will this even be playable on consoles without a HD?

One year before the game came out:

Looks like the version of Morrowind that I played.

CrimsonSkies · Oct 22, 2004

"That's what people said about Doom 3 and I get 60-70fps."

I thought Doom 3 had a lock on the FPS to never go over 60. At least that's what I thought.

ferricide said:

Yeah but the art in Morrowind was really good too.

Nope. Just a P4 3.2, 9800XT 256, and 2 gigs of system RAM. I can't play on Ultra since that's for 512MB cards, but I play on the next highest at 1280x1024 and I get around 60fps when the game is moving.

With the HL2 video stress test I got about 120fps at the same resolution.
