Well, I wouldn't get your hopes up too much, guys. Lighting can really make something look a lot better than it actually is. Though, like I said, draw distance is definitely better.

Go to youtube. Type Skyrim PS3. Sort it by upload date. There should be a video (2nd I think) called Skyrim looks great. Watch it and feel better

And the music is beautiful. I can't wait!

Yes, the music is so immersive and sounds totally epic.
The game looks amazing!

its better than the 360 version, thats why there was no footage.

edited as not to offend people who dislike the truth.

I wouldnt worry, as a ps3 owner myself....from what ive seen, it looks the nuts!

He wont be pleased. Theres always something to complain about...

But yeah go see that, it really looked much better than Xbox version.

You're going to get the mods to shut this down.

Edit: sorry, don't wanna get the thread locked.

OT: I'm sure the ps3 version will be amazing OP.

don't worry!! i am sure the 360 and PS3 versions will be almost identical!

If ME2 could be fine on the PS3, Skyrim will be fine. Oblivion was fine, too. I had one problem with the vampire bug, but that was it.

post fixed.

Well, PS3 has got my graphics vote, and I'm exclusive PC gamer.

Wrong... I'm ecstatic. I can't watch the video, quite yet, as I'm supposed to be doing something else, but this sounds like fantastic news.

Wow thanks! It looks awesome and the music made me melt.

If the PS3 is your only option, then there's no point in worrying about it. My advice would be not to look at any comparison videos, or read graphical shoot-out articles, if you know you're going to play it on PS3 anyway. Just buy the game, and I expect you'll be very happy with how it looks. Forget about the other platforms.

This reminds me of when I bought my first HDTV. I nearly went berserk wondering if I was getting the best possible image quality within my price range. Every set seemed to have some sort of strike against it, and I was paralyzed with indecision. But eventually I realized that when I got the set home, I wouldn't be doing a constant A-B comparison between my screen and six other sets sitting next to it on a showroom floor. I would just be watching my set, and on its own merits, I would be happy with it. And I was.

I agree with this. I have never noticed anything different about the PS3 version of 360 games. Seems to me the only difference is the 360 one looks like its lighter and that can be changed by changing some setting on your PS3 to full. Those comparison videos are usually biased towards 360 anyway, they never have the PS3 set up right(changing that setting to full). According too some low quality photos I've seen, the only differences I can see is the trees look better on 360 and the water looks better on PS3. I for one don't stare at trees so that does not bother me. I do however spend time looking at water in video games, so that is a plus for me.

And I agree with this Any games comparisons I've seen do seem to differ in the brightness on screen and that's about it. I reckon I'm going to buy it for Xbox 360 but might change my mind to PS3 (my brothers one) if I really feel there is an advantage. Bethesda aren't going to skimp on quality folks. I'm positive that no matter what platform you get it on it's going to be amazing. As soon as you sit down and plug in none of this will matter in the slightest.

Todd said it's no difference...

well yeah considering the amount of money microsoft has thrown his way for dlc exclusivity and early footage rights.
he's not about to shoot himself in the foot by saying, 'here it is, the technically restricted version'.

I agree with your point of view, everything save one. While it is true that great content is essential to making a fantastic game, graphics are also very important if one expects any game to achieve ultimate greatness. For some, presentation is very important and indeed in these days where outstanding technology provides nearly limitless potential, there is no excuse for neglecting any of the quality which we the gamers deserve and have come to expect from our favourite development teams.
Luckily for us, Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls team being the magnificent group of talented people that they are all of whom seem to pay meticulous attention to the details have left nothing to chance and have indeed covered all the essentials.
No matter which platform Skyrim is plied on, from what I have seen and heard thus far, it will be a great experience; one which will change the way we look at RPGs and will undoubtedly set the bar for future developers who will have to live up to Bethesda’s high standards if they are to amount to anything.

Inferiority complex spotted

Had to watch that clip for more than ten times in a row. Looked stunning to say the least!

I′m playing the ps3 the whole day now and I can say it′s awesome. No freezes, no crashes only some minor bugs. And the graphics also look really nice.

What are the minor bugs? I'm sorry but i'm going to have a lot of questions for you. lol
