And remember, this isn't even what a first gen game is going to look like, because xbox 2 hardware isn't even done.

That first pic is awesome. I think I've seen the others. It's cool to see the mountains really will be mountains and that you can now ride a horse. Should be a great experience.

[ScorpionX]

Those pics are incredibe, Morrowind is still the best RPG on the Xbox, and this looks even better :yikes:

[Peepers]

This game is amazing. What kind of PC do you think PC users will need to run it at its peak? That thing looks resource intensive!

Hopefully, they'll finish it on time for it to be an Xbox 2 launch title.

[TheWheelMan]

o man its lookin dirty! :)

[JJaX]

WoW, that looks amazing!

[ShaDovV RyDer]

Holy crap...that has got to be the sexiest game I have ever seen...the armor is so shiney...I can't even imagine what the other Xbox Next games are going to look like after comparing the old Morrowind to a game like Fable to show how far the graphics of our xbox now have come...that looks sweet but is there any chance we will see this game in the XBL Next line-up???

[Variation-XBA]

Looking good, but I wont judge till I see IN-game visuals.
Gunna be a long wait for ES4.

[Brevity]

GI had these pics and others and lots of info in it a month ago. Sounds super.

[CarGuy]

Going to be a long wait.. I bet it'll be worth it though..

[John Keyes]

My first time seeing the pics, but all I can say is wow..........this game will be worth the wait.

[Shadow20002]

Hmm...looking great but one thing: i want it bug-free.....

[xbox genius]

holy crap, thats in game screens??? wtf... looks way too good to be true

[RockTheCasba]

heres a huge 5 page preview for it

[revernd]

if those are real time and not pre-rendered that is sick... that game will look amazing, hopefully play as good as it looks

[Variation-XBA]

Wow a review when it's not out for years, impressive.

[Cryogenic Pyro]

I might have to check this game out, even though I hated Morrowind. I highly doubt those are in-game screens though. If they are, this game will put every other RPG ever created, to the absolute utmost of shame in the graphics department.

[skorp]

BEAUTIFUL!

If they worked on the other aspects of the game just like they did with those graphics it will be big!

Graphics wise... It looks like the FAR CRY of RPG's (IMO) maybe a little better....

Is this gameplay graphics? or...

[Kortiz]

why do i get the feeling that this isn't nearly what it will look like when it is done -- and I don't mean it will look better either...

[Rhiannon]

No I am sure it will look every bit as good. It is using the Apple G5 technology, correct me if I am wrong. But it seems to me, that it will be capable of handling these renderings. Plus G.I. said something about Fallout(next Gen) looking just as amazing as well. I am so excited.

[Max33]

Boy o boy...
GOTY is the bomb...it adresses everything I hate about videogames,invisible walls,buildings you cant go in,places ya can't go,npc's you cant effect...

Yeah,yeah I know it also had it's short comings,but this new on looks hot.

All haters out there might wanna put on a diaper,cause when oblivion comes out yer liable to $h!t yer pants.

Cuz yer a hater.

I am pretty sure that last one is pre-rendered (Photoshop)

Like Kortiz, I am skeptical. I remember a game called uhh... FABLE which in its first years of development was showing massive locations and looked extreamly crisp and detailed, then closer to release started looking cartoonish.

I was an avid "Project Ego" goer. I knew a lot of information about it, and saw lots of the screenshots. I can safely say that Fable looks better now than it did in those screenshots.

This game, in contrast to Fable, has precedent. It's the fourth in the series, so we know what to expect. Also, Fable does look better than it did four/five years ago. The character was never realistic, however, they did have mock up for towns that were much more city-like in that the buildings were pressed together, llike how london may have been 500 years ago.

I just had a thought and um...well...what if these shots are for the computer...I went to xbox2new.com and the comments on that page talk a lot about how those shots are from the pc...I'm not saying that it won't look this good on xbox2 but maybe I just can't imagine what power the xbox next will have.

[Spaztic]

freaking nice! This game definalty has my attention.

[RockTheCasba]

yeah im definately pumped for this game. if anyone finds anymore stuff on this game post it here

[odpr]

whaw, I am going to buy Xbox two.. ah, there is no other way..
damn it! :)

[Durden]

I first saw/played Mario 64, and I remember saying, "Games will never look better than this!" I was in shock... Well, I guess I was wrong.

Played the BeJesus outta Morrowind, and still haven't come close to beating it (what with school and all), but if these are in-game- I fear that when I buy it I may never leave the house again.

Its a preview. Those can come out anytime before the game is released.

Xbox Next will have a lot more power then todays computers for gaming. It will look very nice in HDTV (720p). Now when it is released PCs maybe more powerful then Xbox Next, but it will be MUCH more comparable to PCs of its time then any console has been for a very, very long time.



ps these are not cut scenes, this is how in-game will look. Combat is geared more towards action rather then RPG. The world will be much smaller them Morrowind, but still huge and what is there won't be so desolate and unused. It looks to be very nice.
