Members TurboRotary13b Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 Yeah, I'm thinking my system would keel over with those. It looks pretty good on mine, though, and runs fairly smooth at medium settings with a few set to high. You can try it.. A lot of those only really require more cpu usage. Just back up your pref file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members THEE HAMMER Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 So beautiful, alas it comes after Saints Row 3 in my buying order, because i'll never play any of the other new releases if Skyrim moves up in the rotation. Just looking at vids of dragons and trolls fighting just gives me a boner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Repner Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 Holy {censored}. Talk about overdue. My preordered Skyrim FINALLY arrived today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OceansBetweenUs Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 Preordered so I can get my nerdy cloth map and write on it in sharpy points of interest. My friend was like, "Dude, why do you play this elf {censored}? I just got Modern Warfare 3, it rules." Some people just don't get it. Video gaming isn't all about mindless point n shoot.

Members RiffDaemon Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well, Skyrim's graphics on PS3 depend on what TV you're playing on. At my apartment, I was getting none of the issues that people on the Bethesda forums were crying about: Lots of low-res textures, no shadow/light detail on dungeon walls, polygon artifacts, etc. However, I brought the PS3 over to my girlfriend's apartment, and I got ALL of these issues. I was camped out in Dustman's Cairn when I left my apartment - I remembered not being able to see much of anything due to the shadows and overall darkness (i.e. I was grabbing ingredients and potions off shelves, and I couldn't even see what I was grabbing). But on my girlfriend's TV, it was like turning on Fullbright in Quake, and all the textures were washed out and low-res: It basically looked like a slightly better-looking Oblivion. I went into my PS3's settings where I had it auto-detect the settings for the TV, and I turned on the full RGB. That helped a little bit - the shadows and lighting were back, and textures were a lot more detailed. However, it still wasn't like playing on my TV at home - the game simply didn't look as good. I walked up to a river, and I could see the individual polygons in the water, especially in rapids. I found some spider eggs, and you could see these crazy-bright white squares that weren't supposed to be there. If I walked into a fire pit that's emitting a lot of bloom lighting, I'd get lines running across my screen where it's trying to fade in and out between orange and normal lighting, whereas on my TV it would smoothly blend between the two. Also, I was seeing bright blues lines between some polygon faces in dungeon walls and rocks, similar to slime trails. So yeah, if you're playing on a PS3 and you're thinking, "What the Hell?", mess with your PS3's settings a bit. I wasn't able to get her TV back to near-perfection like it was on mine, but it was a LOT better afterwards. Edit: I was using HDMI on both televisions.

I should probably {censored} with my settings a bit because some {censored} is really hard to see at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Murdoch Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 What kind of TVs were you using? I'm dying to pick this up, but I don't have a 1080 television. It's 720p, but 46''. Plasma. I have absolutely NO complaints about any other game I've played on it. Uncharted 3 looks fantastic on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to get the specs on my girlfriend's TV, but she threw the box away and all the materials. Both are LCDs, and hers is smaller than mine. I think mine's a 720p, and I *think* hers is a 480p - not at all sure. Anyway, I'll swing by my apartment to check my TV during my lunchbreak.

Members Murdoch Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 Dammit, I'm going to end up buying this game. Too many good games coming out...but I played the HELL out of Oblivion.

Members TurboRotary13b Posted November 14, 2011 Members Share Posted November 14, 2011 Graphics have absolutely nothing to do with what TV you're playing on. How they look on the other hand is another story. If the game uses low res textures hooking up a different tv isn't going to change that. I have a Panasonic VT30 which is considered to have the best picture quality on the market and I see these issues. My tv is calibrated too so there is no issue with how it's set up. I will say that smaller sets will make it harder to notice texture issues though. Playing on my 40in monitor it isnt quite as noticeable as on the 65 in Panasonic.
