Absolutely bloody loved Oblivion (especially after I modded it to hell). Looking forward to this

From the scans, the graphics look a marked improvement too. I hope they dont rush this and ship a buggy game.

Neil79 · 11 Jan 2011 at 00:32

But It's beth.... They like buggy games, it's the modders that finish it for them lol

Inazuma · 11 Jan 2011 at 00:34

True true...

dmxdex2020 · 11 Jan 2011 at 00:34

Is it me or does the skyrim map look huge compared to oblivion.

Curunen · 11 Jan 2011 at 00:40

^ As long as there are plenty of trees, rivers and other varied terrain in the right places (of course there will most likely be a lot of mountains and snow!), I'll be pleased.

Bethesda's newest title features a brand-spanking new engine where every object in the game now casts a shadow as well as improved draw-distances. Textures are sharper and more detailed and the environments are livelier. There's also the addition of a HUD-less first-person view and "improved" third-person camera option.

Evilsod · 11 Jan 2011 at 22:11

So... removing the HUD was difficult? And wasn't there already a 3rd person view if you paused for a while long enough?

Neil79 · 11 Jan 2011 at 22:12

but but it's improved... it's like slightly better and newsworthy

Which makes it all the more worrying if they're having to bring that up as news

I really love detailed textures. Max Payne still looks amazing all these years on.

CaptainRAVE · 11 Jan 2011 at 22:22

Hopefully you can see out of houses now

Like most games these days, think I'll wait until a price drop/goty release.

+1

I will do exactly the same. In fact Im waiting patient for a GOTY for Fallout New Vegas. Gutted cuz I got a standalone Fallout 3 and had to buy the expansions seprately - and Mothership Zeta is only on the GOTY you cant get it alone

I will always wait for GOTYs...by the time we play it all patches released , exapansions and mods out in their hundreds. Win

isn't that how the games have always started?

Narj · 15 Jan 2011 at 11:48

Are they going to use more than a handful of actors for the voices this time around, then? Any news?

True, but is there any problem with wanting something slightly different

Walking the mountains you take shelter in a cave because of a violent snowstorm, the cave wall collapses and knocks you out . You wake up to find you have no memory of who you are but you have to find a way out!. A new land opens up to you through a dim lit exit from the back of the cave. Will you become a hero or will your memories come back and try to get home and live your old life

Blah blah blah

You just press R? Don't need to stand around and wait if you want the third person view!

Shamikebab · 15 Jan 2011 at 12:32

Yeah but the 3rd person view was ****.
