anyone waiting for this gem game like a rabid bastard like me? I'm so sure it will be the best rpg ever ! The screen captures make me cry... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
system requirements below screenshots makes me cry... |
||||||||
|
|

yep true, dont care, my xbox 360 will do the work :D |

I can't friggin' wait, man. I really hope the scope of the game is as special as it looks. I want to wander through vast forests, not be led down artificial paths. Some of the graphics are pretty good but I think it's looked less and less impressive as time has progressed. Not a big deal, the scope is the key. Morrowind didn't look so hot but the world was really immersive. There's a lot of great games coming out soon that I have to get. Ghost Recon- Advanced Warfighter, Oblivion, Metal Gear Solid 3- Subsistence... there's more but I can only afford those three for now. |

i really can't get bored checking more and more cool plugins for Morrowind that were created so far....but i promised myself to upgrade my oldie PC just for the mighty Oblivion. Just to see how all those neverending forests / "amazing new" AI possibilities work. |

any pics ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes! pre-ordered. just put a 6800GS in, which i hope will be enough to run it fairly well. |
||||||||
|

I'm definitely buying the PC Collectors Edition of this, even though I won't be able to play it. Hopefully, sometime soon, prices of hardware will drop enough for me to be able to afford to upgrade/build a new computer. |
||||||||
|

i'm hoping that if my pc can run hl2:lost coast, then oblivion ought to be alright. no 8xaa or anything though... |
||||||||
|

my housemates been preparing for the launch of this game for ages, everytime there's news related to its release date he creams his pants. he's not gonna be happy if his computer can't run it. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thx ! it looks excellent ! what are the system requirements for the pc version ? i'm sure i won't be able to play it though, because half-life 2 ran pretty bad |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i just got ghost recon: advanced warfighter for the 360, the wait will definitely be a lot less painful now! anyone who gets this and wants to play on live, send a message to xmd5a. |

only a few days now (unless you're in america, in which case tomorrow). anyone been checking the countdown vids? the last showcases the facial animation, which is pretty good (nice moving eyes). the characters still look rather bizarre though, and some better than others (the guy that looks like lenny kravitz is pretty goodm as is the priest). |
||||||||
|

it's coming out here (Netherlands) tomorrow too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yes, morrowind was one of the few great games, and if they haven't gone a completely different way, so will this! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even though my computer isn't exactly top notch by todays standards, I was able to play half life 2 at 1024x768 (not great resolution but good enough for me) with all the graphics turned all the way up, with no lag whatsoever, since my video card is pretty good. I can only hope that oblivion will be optimized as well as HL2 was. I pre-ordered the standard game, since the guy at the store had no idea what the difference between that and the collectors edition was going to be. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was out on the 24th in europe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah! you're right! dang. even more quiet waiting to do. although the place I preordered it at has a tendency to send stuff a few days too early - they sent F.E.A.R. about 3 days before it was officially released, so here's hoping.. |

Hey, has anyone taken a look at the different armor types available? They all look pretty ridiculously cool, but the Orc armor especially looks great.. It's samurai style armor and I'm dying to get that on my character. Has anyone heard if armor is race specific, e.g. only orcs can wear orc armor? I'd rather not have to make an orc just so I can wear their armor, but I might have to make an exception because it looks so damn cool. |
||||||||

HL2 was optimised pretty incredibly though - it runs smoothly on machines that other same generation games hardly come to a crawl on. I've been really impressed by how well it runs on poor configurations. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, thats true, but Oblivion is using the Source engine (as you know) so it seems like half the work was already done for them, right? Source is such a great engine that I have a feeling I'll still be able to run Oblivion reasonably well even if it isn't optimized to the calibre of HL2. by the way, the requirements for the PC version are listed already, correct? I'm having trouble finding them on their website. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok so I found the requirements, and my computer meets all the recommended reqs except for 3ghz P4 (i have a 2.4 which I can safely overclock to 2.8ghz).. but it says I need an 8x dvd-rom drive... Well I specifically asked the guy at the store if I could pre-order a CD version since I dont have a dvd rom drive, and he said yes. So it better be coming in 2 different versions. |

I should be able to run it then I guess |

oblivion is using the source engine? i don't think so - not unless it's heavily customised. the water looks rather different to hl2 for a start (unfortunately, as HL2 water looks amazing). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what about hl2:lost coast? i can imagine oblivion having to work much harder than this to look as good, as you're free to roam anywhere, unlike hl2 where you're guided very linearly (and thus the graphics detail focuses only on the important bits). just thinking about the story is getting me excited... morrowind sucked me right in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i'm amazed at how smooth hl2 is, given how good it looks. morrowind occasionally ran like a dog in open city areas, even on modern hardware. god knows how it ran on 3dfx cards and the like... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think in the case of HL2 a lot of how good it looks comes down to the artistic design of the game - simply how it's drawn, the clearness of it all. it doesn't try to look realistic as in: coming close to reality, but keeps some form of abstracted style, so it's more like a really well drawn animation or even an animated graphic novel. although the water (for example) does look amazing, which does ofcourse come down to technical frippery. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you make a good point - HL2 is extremely linear, but yes, Oblivion is using the Source engine, and yes it has been modified. You're forgetting, however, that even though Oblivion is extremely open ended, that doesn't mean you're going to be seeing the whole world in it's entirety at any given moment. You're only going to see as much as you could in HL2 at one time. This gives the game (and your computer) time to begin pre-loading approaching sections of the game before you can see them, so that the world appears seamless, when in fact it's being loaded in chunks just like any other game. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What are you talking about? Oblivion is running on a complete original engine developed in-house at Bethesda. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ima fan of daggerfall and morrowind so I hope it will be good. I hope it's not too small of a world though, I like exploring. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Daggerfall was great, despite it's bugs, but Morrowind really sucked despite looking better, so I'm hoping this one will be more like Daggerfall, only without the bugs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how did Morrowind suck? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, well I read somewhere at least a year ago that oblivion was supposedly using the source engine licensed from valve, but after further investigation, it appears we were . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, and oblivion uses the Havok physics engine, the exact same one that was used in halflife 2. maybe that was what I heard a while back. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cant fucking wait, any longer. need it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do they have another teaser vid up yet? i'm going to be disappointed to have to go to work over the next few months... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, yes they do! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
