From what I've seen, graphics are meh... but that's normally not why you play those games.
Anticipation is killing me.
New graphics engine, new AI, new everything. This game is going to raise the bar for every other game I think.

You call this "meh?" What the are you expecting?
And agreed, this game will be more about the expansive gameplay than anything else, and the previous Elder Scrolls usually didn't disappoint in that regard. An upgrade in the AI would be a welcome relief, as well.
I'm pretty sure defeating an ogre shouldn't be as simple as run 20 feet, turn and blast fireballs, rinse and repeat.
Probably the last game I'll buy this year.
Something like this would've been nice:
I saw the video and wasn't THAT impressed. It's a step above from Oblivion, but hardly top of the line.
Personally, I think the graphics/lighting/textures in the Skyrim screenshot look better than those in that screenshot from CoD, which comes off to me as a little comic-bookey (verbing weirds language!). Less static around the edges, and less blocky in appearance, particularly features like the hands. The lighting and lack of depth of field in the CoD picture makes it look very flat imo.
But thats why everybody has opinions. To each his own.
Both are absolutely stunning, especially when you compare it to where we have come from:
Oblivion was top of the line when it came out, IMO. Including the gorgeous bloom effects and HDR lightning. tbqh, it's hard to tell from single screenshots. The video I saw of Skyrim wasn't very high quality, so that might have been some of it, but in general I was unimpressed.
Yeah, if we both saw the same video, it looked like a phone/camera recording of a screen demonstration. I didn't even watch very much of it because I figured it wasn't doing the graphics justice.
And yeah, both of those screenshots are probably doctored or not actual gameplay, so probably not the best litmus. Can't wait to judge for myself, though.
Unimpressed with Skyrim? gtfo.
Just the gfx... the game looks promising.
If Skyrim unimpressed you, you're a ot.
pretty much.
nono

Son you're not allowed to badmouth Skyrim, the fanboys will eat you alive.
Skyrim debuts a brand new graphics engine as well as a brand new A.I., meaning BRAND new. This wasn't in the Fallout series. And to compare that screenshot with Skyrim is flat out ignorant bro. Every single thing you see in Skyrim was hand drawn, not put together by a computer to start with.
This game is going to raise the bar for all of the video gaming world when it comes to game art, details, and overall graphics and AI's. Skyrim is the next generation of video gaming graphics and RPG's.
The 20 minute video of gameplay during E3 was a TV camera looking at a TV. How can you go off of that????
have you played black ops? Their graphics suck ass
That's cool and all, but eventually it all boils down to polys and textures.
Again, just basing from what I've seen in whatever video was making the rounds.
I have. Look mighty fine on my 360, especially the snow levels.
In all honesty Black Ops is about average. MW2 looks just like it to me.
But the video making the rounds was at E3 filmed by a tv camera zoomed into an actual TV playing the game.
Coming from somebody who's played video games since ColecoVision, it boggles my mind how people still complain about graphics. That isn't the mark of a good game.
Atari 2600 user here, so we can get that out of the way.
Graphics add to the experience. Oblivion with ty graphics is half as good, sells 1/4 of the copies, and Skyrim isn't made.
We don't live in the 70's anymore.
Man, I just hope Skyrim can go 2 minutes without stopping to load graphics on the 360 like Oblivion has to. Oblivion is such an amazing game that I can put up with it, but I can't imagine playing any other game that did that. If it does I guess I'll build a Windows box.
lol @ comparing black ops graphics
Black ops had f'ing horrible graphics and it is basically unanimous from game players of both that it was a step back from MW2 in the graphics department.
Lol that's what i had said, seriously though treyarch for being a one trick pony (zombies) that steals from IW (now dead) and still makes a game.
Got my copy pre-ordered today.
Installing it to your HDD makes for faster loading times and smoother graphic loads while in-game.
