Here’s what a next-generation The Elder Scrolls could look like

Too photo-realistic for an epic fantasy?

[360ICE]

Hopefully they wont run in through whatever filter that was and look a little better. No offense.

[dark-hollow]

here's what could a???

[Iroquois_Pliskin]

Damn i wonder how long the next gen TES would take to be developed

[TheXgamerLive]

hahaha, exactly what I came in here to type as well.
I wont even read the story based on the headline.

"Here's what could a" hahaha:)
This is why we should take most posted articles with a grain of salt.

[Hicken]

I'm still puzzling my way through the sentence...

[CrzyFooL]

BEST. GRAMMAR. EVAR.

[christian hour]

He wins the internet. How did this get approved before being corrected? Apologies if english isn't his first language but someone could have surely pointed out the error before approval. I applaud you N4G for once again displaying how outstanding your community really is!

TL;DR what I type.

[RankFTW]

My brain hurts just from reading the title, no way I'm clicking the link in fear of my head actually exploding.

[Darkfocus]

pitch black shadows in broad daylight, can't even see any details waaayyy too much contrast.....

[nveenio]

Skyrim could look much better than it does THIS gen, let alone next gen. Bethesda really doesn't do much with their engines. They're very basic. Little to no physics, little to no AI, horrible path finding, low-res textures and geometry, etc.

But that's not why we play Skyrim, is it?

[Pikajew]

Instead of making it look great they should find a way so it's not very glitchy

[Angerfist]

Seriously what kind of sentence is this? I thought this was a german Site judging by the Title

[Organization XII]

Lol yeah sorry about that it was kinda rushed out, too bad I cant edit it anymore.

[SantistaUSA]

lol I just got home from the bar, I was like damn I am really drunk :p

[RememberThe357]

That look gorgeous. If next gen doesn't look like that it wont be worth it.

[NamelessTed]

The video looks terrible. It is just too blurry for you to realize it. Next generation of games will make that looks stupid.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Watch that in 720p. That is what Epic, creators of Gears of War, are saying their next-gen engine is going to look like.

[bozebo]

The engine is out and working atm on PC.

They didn't release Samaritan though, but all the tessellation tools/shaders/options are there and Batman AC uses the engine (but its assets are all modelled for current gen consoles so it only makes a small improvement)

The vid in this article looks like crap, I not sure what kind of troll it's meant to be.

[ChrisW]

I do admit, I HATE motion blur... I thought it was the only thing that really detracted from the really quality of things. If next gen consoles use motion blur, I hope they give a way to shut it off. For me, it looks unnatural and interferes with my immersion.

BTW, I was kinda hoping for such quality with TESV.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Would be interesting to see if cryengine could do all the stuff that entails with what Elderscrolls requires. Collectalble plantlife, deverse locations. I dont know from what ive seen of cryengine so far yeah its pretty but it ain't got a 300hr game in it.

[bozebo]

All that content is really just some scripting. It could be in any game engine.

[NamelessTed]

That video honestly looks pretty terrible. It is just a forrest map in the current generation CryEngine 2. The Creation Engine will be more than capable of pumping out some crazy visuals given more power. I think Skyrim on PC looks great, even compared to other current games, because I enjoy the art style.

Also, that video has some insanely stupid blurring effects.

[buckley]

Just look at some of the community made mods out for Skyrim already. The engine is certainly powerful enough.

BUT, Bethesda also has shown the habit of trying a little too hard to squeeze extra life out of a dated engine <cough>Fallout: New Vegas</cough>. I wonder if the Creation Engine will suffer the same fate, or if it will prove to be more scale-able?

[Dark_Overlord]

The creation engine is just a modified gamebryo engine, (same one used in oblivion, FO3 and FONV)

[buckley]

@Dark_Overlord

Yes it is based on the same architecture as there was no reason for them to build one from the ground up. But it's still a new engine.

By the time Fallout: New Vegas hit, Gamebryo was dated, hence the Creation Engine.

[theonlylolking]

Then next gen is horrible.

[Axonometri]

Who a could think reading title say huh?

[ElementX]

I hate all this speculation garbage.

[maniacmayhem]

As long as they keep the part where you go flying high in the air when a Giant hits you.

[ForROME]

GOTY - Ha I kid I kid

[SwampCroc]

All the game really needs is some Bob Ross "Happy Little Trees" and then the world would never lag.

Off Topic - These video advertisements have ruined my N4G experience... They need to stop that shit.

[swice]

I like it

[dreamoner]

Liked it a lot. Wanna be that crawling guy in da forest with my light-headed head!? atm.

the guy or girl was crawling right? cam was too low and unstable...

now I dont wanna play skyrim, just cos it seems bad now =) and the story sucks and how can ne man can be leader of companions, bro'hood, thieves, mages and dragonborn at the same time? maybe it'd have been ok if they made it so if felt right but brynjoff still calling me `lad` and everyone threats me as a random lowlife... this is an awul example of a ROLE PLAYING G.

[thedarkvault]

nice engrish title maker.

[tommyth3cat]

Whatever that noise was in the background was driving me nuts.

[GezForce]

That level of quality would of been possible on the pc this gen... but the lead programmer at Bethesda took an arror to the knee.

[SnakeCQC]

this is the crysis tech engine vid that was released like a year ago

[bobrea]

There was already an article with this video a couple weeks ago...

And all this is is cryengine2 used to make a forest.

[TopDudeMan]

Is that not a photo?

[Der_Kommandant]

Elder Scrolls VI Dizziness

[HeavenlySnipes]

lol @ the sumbit to N4G button

[Ricardoportillo04]

can i say this is pretty pretty old

[tubers]

Sheesh.. if you're always curious about what the next gen visuals could look like just watch a high end PC in real life. (Crysis, Crysis 2, Bethesda games, GTA IV PC modding community)

A lot of youtube vids still don't give them enough justice.

Not being a fan boy here nor would bleed my heart out for the next, next gen visuals.

I finally tend to enjoy piss poor visuals specially with my friends who really enjoy those.

[Neko_Mega]

Well I see this on PC, but console maybe not. But it would be awesome.

[swice]

Is it me, or has the majority of the N4G community been whiny and lacking in appreciation lately? Like, more than usual? Seriously. You guys are a bunch of buzzkills. So fucking picky and ruthless

[NnT3291]

Doesn't look that good to me, it's just the camera effect that makes it seem more realistic

[Rock_On_PS4]

it looks like the same game with a face lift and upgraded graphics. too bad the gameplay is more aimed at casual gamers instead of hard core

what's next guns added to the game to make it similar to call of duty and other shooter games and maybe an online mode?

i skipped skyrim because it looked like oblivion 1.5. face lift, upgraded visuals and well launched 5 or 6 years after oblivion.

[Foxgod]

thats funny, cause its an entirely different game with a nature mod :)
Thats crysis, not TE Skyrim.

Btw, Oblivion is the game i skipped, which i am grateful for, Skyrim is soo much better when it comes to gameplay.

[rexbolt]

what they should focus on is better art style animations combat face expressions a real story characters with emotions fix robotic movements fis how the characters move like thanks cus no one walks like that in rl no on! and dont forget to fix all the bugs and actully finish mkeing the game b4 ship it out

[Foxgod]

Then you would force them into either more expenses (to buy more third party resources), or a development hell with absurd large teams, or absurd long development cycle.

TE its main feature is its enormous scope, they would have to cut back the scope or invest a lot of money, to improve it as much as you suggest, needless to say, they also need more sales then.

[rexbolt]

ha so u agreee it needs all those imrovements yeah i rather them scale down the game ir work harder to get stuff done right like it should be toen in the firtsplace
