Oblivion Screenshots and Dev Diary (56k slain)

I love the forrest just as much as I hate the character designs.

and I don't care if there were a million NPC's to design.
 
I dont think it is looking worse than before... its just that we are slowly getting used to this type of graphics... It is personally the game I am looking most forward to on any platform.

No, actually, it's not. A few mediocre screenshots aren't going to suddenly make me forget the gameplay footage I've seen.

Same here and for anybody else who has the slightest interest in the game. The trolls need to fuck off.
 
Those shots don't do the game any justice. Besides, I'll be spending most of my time outside those cities. :)

Oblivion looks EXACTLY like Morrowind in that the quality of the graphics are totally hit and miss. The technology is there, and some of it looks really steller, and some of it is just horseshit. Like Bethesda has some really awesome artists, and a lot of really bad ones.

I really don't like their artists :( I love the games to death, but they just don't do a lot for me artistically

Oddly, I've seen some of the concept art done for Morrowind, and it's _beautiful_ stuff, so I don't know if it's just a lost in translation sort of thing, or more that the art team they have is so mammoth that maintaining a consistent style is almost impossible

I was so bummed when this was delayed. This and Zelda is what I wanted to be playing xmas day :(

Animation will make or break this title? No, only gameplay will make or break any game. The shit animation in morrowind didn't hurt that game.

Must I spell everything out?

Make or break - GRAPHICALLY
 
Sorry, I couldn't resist:

Seriously, though, I've had this on preorder at Best Buy since it was offered. I hope all the fixes to the gameplay make it less tedious than Morrowind could get at times. Can't wait to try out the new fighting method, and check out the physics.
 
:lol

Somebody repost that old Hitler Stole my Potato's photoshops with Kirby, DBZ and a ton of other anime characters in that forest.

That was a riot!
 
I don't have a problem with the graphics or art, for the most part, but what the hell is up with the particle effects?

Are those blobs of orange supposed to be fire? The lightning spell in the e3 demo was terrible as well.

In this screen it looks like your finger is pushing back on the skeleton's head, as the poor guy tries to run at you. :lol


Can't wait until this comes out though.
 
It's funny. So many people talk about how next-gen should bring more than just better graphics. Then a game comes along that looks like it's going to advance its genre by huge bounds in AI and physics, and people just whine about the graphics.

well i know that, but this looks worse than FFXI and lineage II and its on a next gen console.

but hell i never seen it in motion so who knows i might be wrong, but these screens are a joke and thats what i am commenting on.


Worse than FFXI? *laughs* Are you kidding?FFXI looked awful from day 1, and is nowhere near as detailed as these screens, as poor as they may be.

These screens are extremely fuzzy and anybody who thinks these are an accurate representation of the game are way off. Its just like those blown up fuzzy PDZ screens. The game itself looked a lot better than those screens indicated, even on an SDTV.

Edit: Whoops, didn't see the banned tag. Hooray for my selective reading comprehension!!
 
What awsome is that as great as this stuff looks the producer had said in an interview that the stuff coming out in the next year or two on 360 is gonna blow these graphics out of the water.
 
Eel O'Brian all you did was show how much better the models in Oblivion are compared to early PDZ versions. Will be there on day one (if I can find a 360 by then).
