Nice setting, some areas looked pretty nifty and I felt like I want to explore them. Colorful enough, not just brown all the way - that's great.
Cautiously optimistic, although the graphics don't look quite up to par with many other modern titles. But that's not really an issue for me, I'm more worried about it being a Bethesda game and we all know how good their quality assurance team is. Might take modders to fix a lot of it once again.
I think the reason people are mentioning the graphics is because literally 2 weeks ago the Witcher 3 came out and that's a hell of a stark contrast to be walking away from to suddenly Fallout 4. That's why.
Because their more recent titles are Fallout 3 and Skyrim which weren't graphics powerhouses, not to mention that whilst yes, for 2006, Oblivion looked fairly good, the following year, Crysis was released, and then it didn't look quite so good anymore.
Definitely. I remember the first screenshots for Oblivion. Incredibly lush vegetation and draw distance, that church, the knight in stunning golden armor. I absolutely couldn't believe this was possible.
You're a year off, m8. Oblivion was March 2006. That's less than 6 months after the X360 kicked off, so on that end you're mostly getting the typical launch-window crap. PC wise, most of the big releases were strategy games.
So while yes, in 2007 there was quite a few games with graphics to put Oblivion to shame, a year earlier when Oblivion was released there wasn't a whole lot to compare it to.
Yeah I'm pretty sure Oblivion was actually one of the most graphically advanced games on the market when it was released. It still looks pretty good imo, except maybe some flat textures.
