Elder Scrolls on PS4/360. What can we expect?

GOTY 2016 confirmed

Obvious ripoff of UWR

What they should seriously do is make a smaller map. Set the game in High Rock or Elsweyr, and spend a lot of time detailing unique locations.

I know they'll do the opposite, because "5 times bigger than Skyrim" is a better soundbite than "twice as dense and detailed as Skyrim".

[QUOTE="Planeforger"]It's not going to be a huge graphical leap upwards, since the next set of console's technology isn't going to be vastly better than what PC gamers currently have. Think closer to the jump between Oblivion and Skyrim, if that's anything to go by. FrozenLiquid

RAM isn't that important for running games anyway.

The same lack of quality. Badosh

Full of bugs I reckon.clyde46

Morrowind XBOX

Skyrim Xbox 360

Elderscrolls 720:

I think it's safe to assume that it'll be fantastic visually, but bug ridden from a gameplay standpoint. Perhaps Bethseda will wise up and QA the next entry.

OhSnapitz

More arrows to the knees

Ruck1707

No.

If they put that crappy MMO vomit version of Elder Scroll to next-gen consoles, the franchise will fall to new lows like Dragon Age.

Who cares how it looks; let's see if they can improve their "Radiant" AI.

We can expect them to still be inferior to the PC versions.PannicAtack

You can expect that for any game.

It will look good.

I expect near CGI-quality graphics.

But the gameplay will probably be even more streamlined than Skyrim.

Altho the game world could be the biggest yet.

CGI graphics on a 7850...?

Maybe at 240p...

FFXV looks close and it's real-time so...

p.s.: why it's so hard for you hermits to admit that Sony made an impressive piece of tech, btw?

I mean, you can criticize the PS4 in it's games and stuff but it's hardware is not one of the things that can be criticized, imho...

Good luck rendering that in realtime.  Let alone on a 1-year-old midrange card.

Noone said it will look exactly like CGI.

That's obviously impossible.

But the thing is also that you don't need millions upon millions of polygons that CGI uses to create an impressive look.

That Final Fantasy tech demo is proof of this and it ran on a single GTX 680 and will likely run on the PS4 with optimizations.

Impressive graphics =/= Modern CGI.  It's not even close.

The FF tech demo ran in realtime at 1080p 60 fps with many prebaked effects.  It also looks nothing like modern CGI.  Of course it will run on the PS4.

Tech unknowledgable people would easily confuse that demo for pre-rendered CGI...

Fact is, most people don't notice the finer details and only care that it "looks good".

Of course CGI will always be an ideal, but the borders of visual diffence between CGI and real-time graphics are slowly blurring, as technology improves. (of course CGI is improving too, I'm just saying there's not as big difference as it once was, i.e. compare something like Mario 64 to something like Toy Story)

If you cannot see the difference between this:

It's nice that you are still taking things I wrote out of context but keep being ignorant if that suits you...

edit: and yes, those two pics looks very similar to the average viewer.

Most couldn't tell that the 2nd pics uses far more polygons (in the millions' range) opposed to the first pic, which likely uses a few hundred thousand polys for the models.

Hmm...

I expect near CGI-quality graphics.

What am I taking out of context?

And the average person isn't blind.  You don't need to know anything about tech to see that there is a huge difference between the two images.  All you need are two eyeballs.

Doesn't really matter how good it looks.

All the graphical mods in the world didn't stop Skyrim from getting boring.
