FUCKING POETRY!

It looks as though there is no lighting, it's like when you compile a HL2 map straight from hammer and you uncheck the lighting, so everything is just a bright horrible solid light.

 

[Gravijah]

I very much look forward to playing this game sometime in 2013.

You have that feeling, eh?

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

The "I never liked Skyrim" group is popping up before the game even comes out. At least in Oblivion's case it took at least a year, when everyone went from loving it to suddenly hating it with a passion.

I still love Oblivion.

There's a pretty big difference between not liking the game and calling out these screens for looking like crap.

 

[John Rabbit]

yo some of those screens look like garbage.

[Lost Fragment]

Remember how amazing Oblivion looked when it was first announced? Sweet nativity. Those were the days.

 

[_woLf]

What happened to the lighting? It's as if it doesn't exist almost at all in some of those shots. Especially Triple H's.

 

[Salih]

graphics, graphics, graphics. meh. i recently started playing the Witcher 2 and was bored to tears. The first act was such a drag.

i just hope the side quests and main storyline deliver, the fighting and skill system are refined and the world feels immersive. This is what a RPG is all about.

 

[Truant]

Looks like the gamma or whatever is messed up in those shots.

Anyway, SHADOWS. Finally.

You have lousy taste.

As far as the pictures go they are bad. Horrible textures and lighting. Something wrong with the face as well. Nothing at all like the video we got so far so maybe its just bad pictures.

 

[Yo Gotti]

Outdoor environment shots look great.

Indoor shots look way worse than what we'd seen before though...

 

[Salih]

says the one with a Witcher avatar. yeah...right.

first act in TW2 a drag? I felt the complete opposite.

Anyway, from what I saw at E3 the visuals aren't a huge jump from Oblivion. The animation looks massively improved, though, that's enough for me. Mods will sort out textures on PC.

Imo, you can't expect a big graphical jump with a huge open world game like this on consoles. Oblivion was probably already straining the 360/PS3.

 

[John Rabbit]

graphics, graphics, graphics. meh.

"sure the game looks like total garbage for the 100+ hours you're supposed to play, but it has sidequests man."

 

[Wallach]

To be honest the only picture that looks bad to me is the indoors shot. I don't imagine the lighting looks like that normally.

 

[Salih]

"sure the game looks like total garbage for the 100+ hours you're supposed to play, but it has sidequests man."

Does Skyrim look to you like "total garbage" ? wtf man. go see a eye doctor.

 

[Cygnus X-1]

The pics of the environment are not bad. A bit worried about the textures inside.

 

[Data West]

Some of you guys are NUTS.

This game looks amazing!

 

[SpideyPL]

What's written in the bottom right?

"All about TES world in russian language"

 

[daxter01]

they should change the name to The Elder Scrolls V:Normal maps

 

[Duki]

literally a console game

nice textures smh

game should play gud at least

 

[Vlodril]

says the one with a Witcher avatar. yeah...right.

Thats because i have good taste unlike you

I am serious though the pictures look bad you must clearly see that. I am not saying they represent the finished game but they are inferior to what most where expecting.

It doesn't look 'bad'. I think you don't even know the meaning of the word.

 

[GhostRidah]

Nasty

 

[HooYaH]

Game needs to be modded with Icehancer.

 

[Gravijah]

I'm not quite sure what people were expecting, though something does seem off about the pics in the OP. On the other hand, I'm sitting here playing my DS so what do I know about graphics?

 

[Durante]

What happened to object shadows in the interior shots? I was under the impression that we would finally get object shadows.

Anyway, I think these screenshots should be enough to convince even the most stubborn posters that Bethsoft's "new engine" talk used, at best, a very flexible definition of "new".

Reminds me of a high res Morrowind mod.

High res Morrowind mods have higher res textures.

 

[C-Jo]

It's not so much that these shots look "bad", it's that they look bad compared to everything else we've seen from this game to date.

 

[IonicSnake]

I hope we get to see the PC version soon.

 

[Sword Familiar]

I'm liking the weapons and armor designs so far. Looking forward to this.

 

[John Rabbit]

maybe the engine looks good. the art style/direction and that IDBEHOLDL lighting style is just garish. i cannot see myself starting at that for 100+ hours. oblivion was a delicious forest land. this looks like somebody's backyard in wisconsin after a hard winter thaw.

whatever man, edf 2017 is a great looking game.

 

[Blue Ninja]

It's beautiful.

To the people complaining about the shots: I think they're too bright. All other shots we've seen of Skyrim are a lot darker, so either these have been brightened for some reason, or Bethesda pulled an Oblivion on the lighting.

 

[Kyaw]

Eeek, not the most impressive batch of screenshots... apart from the scale in the first two shots.

your uncensored post was better~

 

[Deleted member 81567]

That gameplay vid I saw during E3 had better graphics than this, what the fuck?

 

[Hyphen]

I'm just glad the 3rd person view is now a much more viable playing option.

 

[Blue Ninja]

your uncensored post was better~

I figured, if the final shot of this Skyrim fan trailer can be considered inappropriate, that might be too. :lol

 

[zoukka]

Yeah I just can't get excited about Bethesda game visuals. It doesn't appeal to me in any way at all...

 

[Blue Ninja]

Pretty much the same area. Either one is a bullshot, or TES.net's images are of crappy quality.

 

[LowEndTorque]

These screenshots look good, but they remind me of how incredibly disappointed I have been with the gameplay of every single Bethesda game this gen, especially the combat. In Fallout 3 and NV I used nothing but VATS during combat because the gameplay mechanics were just that bad. To me, these games have always been more quantity than quality. Just my opinion.

Now give me a game with the vastness of Oblivion and the gameplay/combat mechanics of Demon's Souls and I would probably start chirping goty.

 

[maniac-kun]

Idiots crying about the textures: get the PC version. It will have dx11 features and higher res textures.

Pretty much the same area. Either one is a bullshot, or TES.net's images are of crappy quality.

the high brightness makes them look like magazine screenshots so that they look good when they are printed.

 

[Wallach]

That's kind of what I'm thinking too, Blue Ninja. The pictures seem really fucked up in terms of gamma/brightness, I don't think it's really as much a problem with the game's lighting.

 

[Arcipello]

is this REALLY a new engine they are using???? the lighting is soooo flat

 

[Blue Ninja]

I also think you can see the dead Draugr from the screenshot I posted in the background of the OP screenshot. :lol

Seems pretty logical. These were the screenshots originally printed in PSM3: maybe TES.net just got the files from them.

 

[MrKnives]

Kinda remembered it was a lot better. Not the greatest screenshots around.

I dunno, but the cage hanging from the ceiling isn't even there in the TES.net image.

yeah it'a like max gamma making everything look like it is its own lightsource
