I said it before, but many games have different files to accomodate for low/medium/high res and different directx versions on the pc; whereas for the console you naturally need only one (plus possible r/mipmaps). Size doesn't really tell you much in this.Rapstah said:I wonder what the reason is behind the interface difference? Is the interface completely different between consoles and PC, and does the 360 version also include all the files of the PC interface?
In fact file sizes are pretty uncertain in that way. We can't tell how much of that is unused. Even if it's unlikely that the developers would include different amounts of unused content in different versions, if half the smaller size is garbage data, there's much more of a difference in data size of the actually used content up to the larger size.
I did that last night.Lakitu said:Fuck it, I think I'll play some Oblivion tonight to get in the mood. I still have some quests to do on that, so why not.
taoofjord said:Hmm, the pc screens are decent at best. Looks pretty much like oblivion tech-wise with better art direction. I hope a couple graphic tweak mods come out by tomorrow evening... perhaps an increased ground clutter for the non grassy areas (rocks)

I hope we can change the fov soon >.< it feels so small.
Its kinda pretty in some spots, but after playing witcher you kinda realise how far back it is in most still.
Runs super smooth on my computer, but I gots a 6950 so its kinda over kill...
All I'm seeing is shitty textures and floating running animations are coming back to haunt me.Dmax3901 said:Some honest PC impressions from someone who doesn't get hung up on graphics. Keep in mind I've only played the intro.
The textures I'll be able to handle, although if you're the type who with a new game runs straight to the nearest wall to count the pixels you're going to be disappointed. The only texture so far to really bug me is on my character's hands in first person. It looks quite dated. The shadows are very disappointing, really jaggy.
The interface in general is pretty clunky (the fucking sliders my god), but these are easily fixed, I hope, with mods.
On the bright side: artistically it looks great, all the races look far better, the mountains in the distance, the swirling mist, the voice acting trumps Oblivion in the first minute. The animations, despite the oft mentioned Bethesda 'jank', are welcome. The music of course is fantastic and so is the sound, which I wasn't expecting. Walking through a cave you can almost feel the gust of fresh air as you approach a new passage leading to the surface, or the water dripping from the ceiling. Basically the atmosphere is tops.
That'll do for now, here's a shot of the 'moment' you enter the world of Skyrim.
