Oblivion Graphics, From my view... Options

[Fuzzy Knight]

Hi everyone..

I remember when I first saw the Oblivion screenshots, the first time they came out and I was totally stunned and all this talk about how friggin' good the graphic was. But I have to say that over the months as new games have released their screens that Oblivion's graphic doesn't look so unique as it once was...

I'm not saying its all about the graphic, because Oblivion still have so much other games dont have like the new AI etc. But does anyone agree that maybe when Oblivion comes out in the Holidays of 2005/2006 that the graphic might not be so unique as it once was?

But of course... I dont want to say this for sure yet until I've gotten the game and played it on my new computer when it comes out

A lot of RPG fans don't think graphics mean much at all. I find that graphics are a big deal, and the amount of time Bethsoft spent perfecting their graphics engine in conruence with all the other work they did on the game is just right in my opinion. The graphics don't look great, and many of creatures have fake looking meshes (the troll, the minotaur, the argonian) and many of the streets and wall textures look flatter than they did originally.

I compare graphics and game-play to about the same level of balance in oblivion is what I'm trying to say. You can say I can't judge it yet because I haven't played it, but i have a pretty perceptive mind, I can tell.
