I agree. I say that since the game is about 1 to 2 years away, what looks great now may be mediocre then. Motoki had a point about the development cycle of a RPG. Though I think they could develop "for the future" so to speak. Silly fools saying "graphics are better than Doom 3", that is like saying "Doom 3 is better than Morrowind"

:laugh4:
I don't think i've ever played a game that i've gone back to as much as Daggerfall and Morrowind, i only stopped playing Daggerfall because my computer wont run it otherwise i'd still be getting lost in those huge dungeons ;D

All I have to say about Kathode is a big They still could have 'enhanced' the photo after the screenshot was taken for the magazine cover. Magazines do that all the time for people why not for games? Hell even I process my screenshots through various settings in Photoshop and I often look at the result and say to myself 'damn, they looks a lot better than it did in game' lol. Sharpening for one thing does wonders.

well, the shot looks very good, regardless of whether it'll be the best once it's out, or not. the one thing that's for sure (bar a disaster) is: there WILL be a TES IV released soonish, and that's very good already. of course, TES III's sales success would have pointed to it. let's just hope they don't mess up and make the bodies and faces right this time. oh yea, and hello again everyone

Soonish? As in geological Soonish?. Bethesda are slow at Games Production, I've seen ice shelves move faster. I'm not complaining though; look how long it took for Tes3 and here we all are, still playing and modding for it

Well yes one thing they do get right is making games that last, the modding was a stroke of genius really otherwise i doubt we'd all still be playing it now. Hello Solar

well, it took them like 7 years to get tes3 out after tes2. it's only been 2 years since tes3, and we can expect tes4 within another 2 years time (it would be very wicked evil of them to announce a game that's supposed to be more than 2 years away). so, it's 4 years between tes3 and tes4, compared to 7 years between tes2 and tes3. so, in bethesda time scale (which is somewhat close to geological time scale), tes4 WILL be out soon-ish.
mmm did that sound confusing?

lol I agree soon is relative. It will likely be released soon on a Bethesda timescale, certainly sooner than the gap between Daggerfall and Morrowind, it's still not soon by my timescale. Soon by my time scale is The Sims 2 or Fable, both of which are due out in a matter of days. My sources at Sony (Arathrax lol) tell me the PS3 won't be released before 2006 and I think it's very likely they are shooting for a near simultaneous release of Oblivion on all 3 platforms. I think 2 years off is a good rough estimate right now, although it certainly could be longer. It would not be the first time a game was announced and shown off more than 2 years in advance of its release. Oh and welcome back S0lar good to see you around again. Mantodea sent us some really nice Japanese inspired armor, we are just lazy bums and haven't gotten around to taking screenshots of you and he in it yet. *weak grin*

Good luck on your first day back! ...you may have seen shots, but did you see the latest ones!? ...Meb did a spectacular job! ...I'm not going to give anything away (to the rest of you; S0LAR, I'll bet if you PM someone nicely, they might link you a new pic or two); I'll leave all that up to Mo's discretion!

Well, you're kinda the leader/starter of the mod aren't you? So you can tell them, for example, when/if there is a trailer, tee-shirt, soundtrack, collectible Motoki and Gang action figure collection...etc...;D
