New Oblivion Screens

artwise its got elderscrolls written all over it.
They always push forward openended gameplay.
And if its going to look as good as it does....im sure we'll have another winner on our hands.
 
open-ended? it's an rpg right?

Me-thinks I'll get it... How are the previous games anyway?
 
Looks manky. The contrast is way up and the light areas are blurred out. Looks like a beginner's attempts with Photoshop and no artistic sense! Hopefully this is more a result of the reproduction but in all honesty if the game's visuals are as messy as that I won't bother.

Lol...perhaps.

I would play this game even if it was only a small graphical improvement over Morrowind because I liked the gameplay style of the first so much...But this looks truly fantastic IMO. It's the progression of a virtual world-style game.

Go back and compare Elder Scrolls Arena to this and tell me it's not exciting!!!
 
Image quality of the scans was really bad. That's where all the image quality issues come from. The images are from the March 2005 issue of PCGamer. They're deffinitely pretty nice, so no worries after seeing those shots posted above.

Maybe it's near impossible to get motivated enough to play through to the conclusion of the main quest and hence open ended.

Just like Morrowind, where the complete inability of the developers to develop plots/quest more interesting than just wandering around killing random stuff seemingly was considered a feature.
 
Eh , morrowind was really good , jsut there wasn't enough direction and with out a guide you could easily get lost . But damn it was a fun game man
 
If the game is 99% less filled with bugs, if there's fun and interessting gameplay, if the fights are somehow exciting and not anti-climatic, if the story is anything else but a boring enumeration of facts and trivias that happenned to each of the 5 millions "houses" and characters, each with ludicrously complex and long names, found in the ES serie, and if all the characters classes in the game have rewarding gameplay (I'm talking about looters here), then I might give, again, Bethesda 50 of my hard-earned Euros.

Althought, I have to admit that I'm, strangely, attracted to the ES serie...
Each time, I install morrowind, I play a few hours/days, and then tell to myself that , no, no the gameplay and storyline are definitely flawed, I then uninstall the game, wait a few months, and then start telling to myself, the game is so rich, it has to be fun at some point, let's give it a try again... Rince and repeat...

Note that, as I speak, Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon are installed on my HD, and I still think the game is a jack of all trades, master of none.
 
I'm really looking forward to seeing their new AI task-oriented system. They're hyping it as revolutionary, in gaming. Let's see how that works out...

Care to expand a little on that? I haven't heard about it myself..
 
This looks like one of those games that everyone marvels at now, but will be pretty out-dated by the time it hits the shelves. I mean the screens as they are now.

It's basically a moderately souped up Xbox title, complete with boring visuals and artistic design.
