PC Screens

Of course they look cool, they look great! But not as great as most of the PC world would hope for, in comparison with the PS3 version.

Says you..lol..... Doesnt matetr anyway in 1 week mods will only make it even better. Sorry but your trolling.

yet many PC games are released as buggy unfinished pieces of junk with massive graphical bugs. So..

Let me just stop you there. So console games have no bugs? Really? Well, thanks for sharing, I guess no patches will be needed for the console version then.

I still think the screens look good? Have i said otherwise? And like i've said a million times, im getting it on PC through steam as soon as i can, and i would love to see some mods make the graphics even better. Im not trying to troll without a cause, if that's what you think. Im simply stating it doesn't look THAT much better than the PS3 version as of right now, which you don't seem to understand, am i correct? Now, add me on steam so you can get your proof later tonight.

Another myth spread by consolers.... New Vegas was a mess on console, PC also has access to the console commands to get around bugs... Console games are now as buggy as PC games.... Its not 2004 LOL.

Well, if they'd just release the game on Steam, we could all go to our respective corners and play the game instead of cannibalizing the forum community out of antsy rage.

Seriously?!

Of course PC's can have the capability of playing Skyrim on higher settings/graphics than a console, as with any other game. That being said though, the important term here is that PC's can have the capability. Not all PC's are created equal, and unlike consoles, the quality of PC graphics is very dependent on your actual machine build. People who invested the time/money into their gaming rigs will not be disappointed, but those with more low-end builds will obviously be playing the game in a lower quality state (at worst at a lower quality than consoles).

Considering time & monetary investment as a factor, console gaming is rather affordable and still outputs graphical performance comparable to PC's.

Looks like a very high quality DX9 game.

I have no complaints.

They never billed it as anything more or less for the PC version.

Hlvr, good to read from you.
Welcome back!

I'd say your benchmarks are stricter than mine. Also you're in the know tech wise, which I'm not.
Stil, those maxed out PC screens look darn amazing to me!

The way i see it - judgeing from youtube vids - it goes like this:

Dark Souls: terrible, terrible art direction. Creature design is atrocious. Visually very uninspired and primitive.

Reckoning - Kingdoms of Amalur: Dreadful art direction. Creature design is plain awful. Tech wise, Skyrim looks far more advanced to my untrained eyes.

The Witcher 2. It beats SKyrim hands down tech wise. No question about it. But SKyrim has the upper hand with its unmatched art direction.

So here you go. My jaw dropped as I saw those maxed out PC screens.
You can call me pedestrian.

Again, great to see you're back!

Cheers!

:D.
Hi! :)
Good to be back, even if only for a while... (will be playing Skyrim, of course!)

I agree with you completely. Skyrim may not have the best technology (for instance concerning texture depth, lighting techniques, shaders, etc), but the art itself and how the art is put into the game is superb and astonishing.
Even though, I think Skyrim's technology and pure graphical look is impressive considering the size and detail that the game has.
If you compare graphics only, Skyrim is not that impressive to the best graphical games, but it's still pretty good. If you compare everything in an overall assessment, then Skyrim's visuals are very impressive.

Personally, I think how the art is displayed in terms of color hue and color contrast is brilliant. Watching the sun set over a vast valley from a high, snowy mountain where the fog is surrounding the sky is just beautiful. This is proof that games can truly have one of the most beautiful and astonishing visuals, even though the graphics aren't the best in the gaming industry.

Cheers back.

Tauer

God damnit, read the previous posts before you go ranting. Im getting it for PC aswell, and im looking forward to it! But i was hoping for a tad more, somehow, from all the hype people have been spreading!

The last part of my post was directed at people [censored]ing about the graphics in general, not you.

What was directed at you was that I think it's complete bull that game developers shouldn't take advantage of a PC's capabilities just because the 360 has crappy hardware.

Very nice pics! So far high on PC looks way better than consoles, which now look like a mix of low and medium.

Does anyone have any pics with ultra settings on PC?

You do realize i was talking about aesthetics/visuals don't yo?. Please refer back to my post.
I didn't play Dark Souls, though , I do have to say, judgeing by youtube videos,
I won't.

I'm sure the rather large number of people praising it are sincere and have some very valid reasons to do so.
The game just doesn't resonate with me and I'd blame aesthetics. It looks very crude and primitive to me.

You have a different opinion. I'm fine with that.
Crude and primitive based off you tube videos? you need your head examined, Dark Souls has some of the most innovative, moden features of ANy rpg, the online interconnectivity to Sp is innovative, the game has someof the most impressive designed areas, levels and the best combat ever... Anyone looking at a you tube video cannot see any of this. The creature design in DS makes skyrim look generic. Its known for it. Sorry, your biased, play the game before spewing garbage. You can be a fan of skyrim and other games.....Not be a blind sheep. Only thing crude and primitve is skyrims melee lol.

Nice graphics, but I think the style is what sells this entire game. Style is so much harder to get right, but they really nailed it. Can't wait to play tonight.

I have removed a few post bashing consoles. Don't go there. Should it continue we will lock this thread because we don't have time today to make sure folks don't get into platform/console warring.

This is your one chance not to continue in this fashion.

Honestly a screenshot thread just for PC is just asking for problems anyway. So....stop it. :toughninja:

Yes, it might be [censored], i agree. But you got to take into consideration that this game was made for all the consoles and the computer, TES series was never about the graphics, it was about the Features, the open world etc. Be who you want to be.

I've ran out of replies on this one, i just can't seem to get a understandable reply.
