Oblivion Not Looking As Good

[QUOTE="TavLok"]

what's this? the graphic whores are on the attack again?

calm down, the marketplace trailer is of an early graphical build and was clearly compressed

Dont be so pathetic and small minded, I was simply stating what i see. without GFX I doubt you would have a 360 because as im sure your aware the 360 is a new breed of GFX power-house and this undoubtably made you buy the console and not just because you thought the game play may improve.  Dont be so offensive with your opinion next time please.

You know....I never thought about it that way and you're absolutely right. We all bought the system based on how the games would look because in all reality, the gameplay is still the same. Only things that have really changed are the graphics and the add of achievments (which I love)

I know about the Xenos' performance potential.  I also happen to know that it will perfom natively post processing features that even the current X1900 cannot. Developers haven't had enough time with the hardware to begin exploiting it's capabilities.

As for my metioning of graphic whores, sorry you're offended but my comment stands.  I didn't invest in the Xbox 360 just based on how the games would look. Gameplay mechanics are extremely important to me. I want developers to stop whining and complaining and give us multi-threaded gaming experiences.

I want nice looking graphics just as much as the next gamer, but I'm more interested in immersion this generation. I don't just want a realistic "looking" forest, I want a forest open to non linear type play. I want the forest to be large enough that it takes me at least 3 or 4 game days to cross it. That I might need to set up camp overnight in order to make it to my destination.

But if the only thing gamers are screaming about it how a game looks then that is exactly what developers will concentrate on and gameplay mechanics will continue to suffer.  The Xbox 360 has a multi-threaded 3 core CPU and a GPU capable of creating geometry if developers slave one of the three cores through the GPU's MEMEXPORT function. The potential for immersive gameplay is there, but developers may not exploit it if they feel that eye candy is the only thing that we want.

Looks fine to me...

I bet you ride the Bus all the way back to the station instead of getting off at your stop dont you.

I've noticed many people would rather sit on GS and complain about games, rather than actually play them for the fun they can have with them.  Whats truely sad is that people can come to a conclusion, even if they have never played the game (released or not) v_v ...

Tav sorry I just aint got the time for all that reading lol. but good point? I stopped reading after you called me a whore once again, perhaps if you were more responsible with your words I would give your post the time it probably deserves.

OK I just read it all, And I agree. I never meant IM only interested in GFX Q as IM sure you must have picked up on, anyway sorry for thinking you were being an AH, It seems you were not. I agree with what you say and I think the same, it just came over like I was A GFX ***. I have been a GFX **** for over 30 years lol but without GP I wouldn't even be that.

I think the light bloom must have been in overdrive on that downloadable trailer.  Still, I have total confidence in Bethesda, and am certain the game will impress.  Will it look GOW impressive?  No.  But I bet the average person plays ES:Oblivion a lot longer than they play GOW. 

WOW!  I just watched the movie on IGN.  It's great!  I'm excited!

No problem.  Again, I'm sorry if you were offended but it was a general comment after reading the entire thread of complaints about the game's appearance. I wasn't targeting any one person.  But hey, some of my good friends are graphic whores and I tell them the same thing all the time.

I'm really worried that this generation isn't going to be any different from the last.  The same elite developers, the smaller percentage of great developers, and the majority of average developers. So every game isn't going to look like Gears of War, I can accept that. Not every game studio has the same talent or is utilizing the same cutting edge game engines and tools, but we can demand better play mechanics because the capabilities are there this generation.

For years developers have been complaining about how if they only had mult-core processors, if they only had more memory and post processing features. Well now they have that, and it's important that we let them know we expect more immersion.

What gives?

Your eyes give.

Go get some freakin' glasses.

I have spent a long time looking at Oblivion since E3 and thought it was gonna be awesome because the graphics would be amazing even with the fact that it's so huge. I mean the reviews said "Best looking game I've ever seen" in the OXM advertisement. But I recently downloaded the trailer which has actual gameplay footage in it and I have 720p and it didn't look all that special. Kinda like an original Xbox game. What gives? HD_Gamer_J

then you shouldn't buy it.  seems pretty simple to me.  And I don't think those are reviews, as reviews are worthless until the full game has been released (to the business/critics) and completed.

yeah fo ****

Oblivion is the best looking RPG in history and people are whining that the graphics aren't good enough. What a bizarre world we live in.CodeMunki

Do we ever know? I mean how do these people find these old threads anyway? Not like the search function works on this site, so what did they do, accidently click on forum page 200 or something and not notice it?

Well after Gears the graphics are less impressive. But at the time it released in March 06, I thought it was the best looking game I've ever seen. (I haven't upgraded my comp ever since I went console so I haven't experienced the insanely good graphics in recent PC games.)

Still, I think it's odd for anyone to say it doesn't look fantastic. Saying it looks like a Xbox1 game is a sick joke imho.

No he's right. It doesnt look THAT good. GOW blows it away by far.andrewmickey14

You do know that post you replied to was from FEB. 26,2006, right? An entire month before the game even came out. This thread is over a year old.

Bump.

Old threads FTW.
