both games will be coming out at roughly the same time, say within 3 months of each other. one will be on a current gen console the other will be on PC and a nextgen console.

both have forests, both have horses, both are set in an earthy environment. both will have a huge world to explore. I'm so friggen stoked for both games.

now think about the leap in graphics from the new GCN Zelda, to Elder Scrolls IV. then realize that the next, next Zelda, on Revolution, will look conciderably better than ESIV in 2008 or so

 

[PhatSaqs]

wtf? :lol

 

[Justin Bailey]

uhhhh. . .fight?

 

[bitwise]

i'm more interested in Oblivion. Zelda games are just a "breeze-through once" type game for me.

 

[GaimeGuy]

*runs*

 

[Sriram]

Ive never seen that last zelda pic before. Wheres it from, the extended trailer?

Oh, and this is a terrible idea for so many reasons.

Elder Scrolls is nothing compared to ZELDA IMO

at least art-wise

when you look at zelda you see something beautiful not just high polys

 

[Redbeard]

You see high polys?

 

[DrM]

drugs are bad, m'kay?

 

[beerbelly]

Elder Scrolls look beautiful and boring at the same time. Zelda is Zelda

 

[jett]

I'm not even a PC gamer, and I can see that ES4 owns Zelda, tech and art-wise. Really people, this new Zelda is extremely early and doesn't look impressive at all. TAKE OFF TEH GOGGLES!

 

[AniHawk]

Elder Scrolls IV, because of this guy:

 

[Project Midway]

Is this joke? right?

That castle shot from Zelda looks it's from the very first Unreal... you know, the intro where you could check your frame rate. =)

But it still looks better than Fable.

*zing!*

 

[Speevy]

Dumber than any thread I've ever started, that's for sure.

Wouldn't know, i don't care bout ecksbox or its games.

Ouch.

 

[akascream]

The battle system in the elder scrolls games rock anything in Zelda.

Morrowind 2++

 

[king zell]

Wanda and Colossus owns both though

 

[akascream]

Hehe, that wanda game IS very pretty.. but can anyone else already see the shimmery/crawly mess this scene will be?

[olimario]

I see Zelda looking a lot better once it's released.
I hope they can expand the draw distance a bit and add some more grass.

 

[AssMan]

Junior Members....gotta love em!!



P.M.S.-Is it me or does that Wanda pic with the giant remind you of something from The Neverending Story??

 

[Fatalah]

There are no Elder Scrolls pics in this post, I don't even know what the game looks like!

 

[GaimeGuy]

Might as well join in...

I want this game.

 

[shpankey]

:lol

I'm interested in Zelda more, because they aren't boring as fuck.

 

[Pellham]

I don't think it's fair to compare the games. Sure they have similar environments, but one is an action/adventure with emphasis on simple dungeon puzzles and your standard adventure game/RPG elements. The other is an immense computer RPG w/ the standard nonlinear do your own thing scenarios. Both will be good for what they are doing.

 

[ge-man]

I think you guys are missing the point of this thread. The original poster isn't comparing them to see whose the best. To him, both games are an example of what he's really excited about seeing in the near future. Not everything is about the console wars.

 

[radioheadrule83]

Wind Waker / Minish Cap Link 4 Lyfe!

Death to Legolas dopplegangers!

 

[Yusaku]

Some of the Oblivion stuff is godawful. More tech-demo than anything.

 

[Sho Nuff]

ZELDA is a Fisher-Price toy.
MORROWIND is a Sears Craftsman tool!!!

bless you, good sir.

 

[Tritroid]

...I can't believe someone actually made a thread about this.

Dear God,

Please make all junior members die.

Amen.

 

[Shoryuken]

bless you, good sir.

If you weren't comparing them why did you put vs. in the title?

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

Elder Scrolls doesn't have Link in it, which means I'll actually want to play it.

 

[shpankey]

those pics of Zelda to be frank look like shit... i mean some of that looks like the graphical quality of Quake II.

to compare these two games, at least on a graphical level, is completely laughable. the Zelda pics looks like utter shit and the other game is a fucking jaw dropper. of course nintendo fanboys never actually see "reality" lol

 

[TheGreenGiant]

IAWTP. Lock the forums; throw away the key.

I think both games look HAWT except that ESIV:O is a PC title and will be wayyy prettier on a 3200+ athlon64. But of course.

Uh... riiiight.

IAWTP THESE GAMES ALONE HAVE ALL THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE GOOD AM I RIGHT DUDE?

FORESTS HORSES EARTHY ENVIRONMENTS ITS LIKE THE AMISH FOLK GAME OF THE YEAR MEGATON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

AMISH FOLK GAME OF THE YEAR

Game voted "Most Likely to Churn Butter"

 

[Speevy]

Is there some reason why we're putting down Zelda in favor of a game which will in all likelihood look 10x better than any console game this generation?

 

[Kon Tiki]

Congrats you just bested Speevy in moroniscity

 

[Gattsu25]

Mr. Diller > all these games


and FUCK ALL with the posting wanda pics in a thread without warning those of us on the media boycott >_<

 

[AeroGod]

Its too hard for me to decide. They both LOOK good, but Morrowind left a stale and dull taste in my mouth and I hate what the Zelda series has become. If they both ended up being stupid I wouldnt be surprised, thankfully. Bethesda is terrible and Nintendo doesnt know what to do with Zelda anymore(the new style rocks though) so they just do whatever they can think of first. LETS COVER THE WORLD WITH 90% WATER JUST LIKE THE REAL WORLD! OKAY!

Anyways. Why are we comparing these again?

 

[sprsk]

I hate this thread.
