]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Not very impressed. You'd be impressed if you owned the console version but the PC elitist in me says, "Meh." Running Oblivion with Qarl's Texture Pack and oh so many other texture mods as well as weather effects, better lightning, etc... regular Oblivion looks better than this.

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Well, so much for that. The whole thing has been locked down due to copyright infringement. It seems that making your own similar models in homage is ok, like making a Master Chief for a PS3 game, but porting the original models directly is a no-no.

Zazu_Yen

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Meh, I hate to say it, but the difference is almost nill. Foliage does look a bit better, but considering I can run Oblivion stock at 50FPS on all high, but can barely net 20FPS on Crysis, I would go with the Oblivion engine any day.

Hylian

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> I was just wandering the streets of the Imperial City a few minutes ago, so I can really tell the difference. It's absolutely beautiful. Combined with the music, it felt like one of the better/best moments in the LOTR movies.

It's a shame, if I only had a few extra hundred dollars (and i mean only a few) I could bring my PC up to Crysis spec. Alas, I don't have any spare money atm.

coalhalo

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Everyone who said they dont see a difference obviously dont know what theyre talking about.

Then again, youtube isnt exactly the best place to watch a video like this =/

I've played both games long enough to differentiate the visuals between the two. Trust me, Oblivion doesnt even come close (unless you've only played crysis at low-med settings lol)

doesntlikedede

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> The game looks exactly the same until the very end when it pulls away to show the whole city from above - that is what makes it better than the original. The first 5 minutes are building up to that last view.

ZhouYu

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Cryengine 2 is phenomenal (not just the graphics either) I've dabbled in sandbox and was continually blown away with my mind racing at the posibilites for the engine. Crysis ran at HIGH quality ~ 35fps on my pc @ 1440x900 res (native monitor res) and looked superb.It's physics and general well thought out control/interaction are what really draws you in though.

TO have that in Oblivion style games would be great but I think it wouldn't be the best use of the engine as oblivion is less tactile/more plodding. The greatness comes from teh FEEL of the engine rather than just the look, diving into grass, crawling through the shadows, using the nanosuit to do crazy stuff, creating your own epic events in real time through chaos/random events - it's stunning frankly. Oblivion type games wouldn't quite pull that off, they are more linear in character movement/interaction. I think while games could look stunning in Cryengine2 it would mainly be about the interaction it affords (that most people who've not played it just won't get - they assume it's just graphics) and for that it's mostly going to be First person shooters i'm afraid.

Crysis is still one of the most dynamic/exciting titles i've ever played on any format and i'm glad they pushed things how they did even if they had to restrain themselves to a 'typical' FPS game as the premise.

Sharpfish

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Pretty nice.
And it DOES make me wonder what would happen if all developers would just pool their resources and start creating games only. Because, strictly and probably naively speaking, there's only one 3D engine necessary, for example, the best.
And then gamecreators could be creating games, without them having to make a graphically believable world (save for the design of course) because it's already perfectly possible in an engine OTHER people made.

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @Exanity: Aye, I was never a fan of Oblivion's visuals either, for the same reason. It just seemed like such a huge backwards step after the surrealist majesty of Morrowind.

Of course, the Shivering Isles expansion dealt with that complaint pretty deftly though; it's gorgeous. In terms of fantasy design, it's up there with Morrowind.

Few people realise it, but this is the third paragraph that I will end by mentioning Morrowind.

frostcircus

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> No Qarl textures? Using the same TES4 ones that ended up on the 360? tsk tsk not exactly a good show of the visuals you could get.

UltraMagnus

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Hmmm..I am really not that impressed. First of all youtube drops the fps to 15 frames a second, which is barely watchable quality. Especailly for trying to view detailed graphics. And also if I really wanted to view real life, I could just go outside. I respect stylized art direction in video games a whole lot more then when they just try to recreate nature realistically.

Exanity

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Loved the musical accompaniment--glad I wasn't the only one to recognize the second movement of Dvorák's New World Symphony.
As for Oblivion, I'm ashamed to say that I played quite a bit of it (circa 100 hours) but hardly scratched the main quest (got Martin to the fortress, and then went off to some temple to look for a book or something) or many of the Guild missions. The autoleveling enemies stymied me for a while, till I revisited it with some mods. Keep meaning to go back, though.

Papageno

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @Mr Fortitude: @okenny :): There's a reason why I have piles of screenshots in my Oblivion folder. :) Even with my computer's state being so-so and my video card being probably JUUUUST strong enough to make the game work, I still sat around and was totally in love with the game. I've got pictures ranging from hilarious/epic kills (an arrow through an imp's thigh, through its back, out the top of the chest and up under its jaw), a "Mexican Standoff" with myself and an NPC with bows drawn at arms' length from each other, and two Imperial Legion Foresters fighting, to scenery shots, including one of a sunset with the sun behind the mountains, the sky pink and purple, and whole thing mirrored in the lake around the Imperial City.

The visuals of Oblivion are something that blew me away for months before and months after its release. TES V will probably leave me a drooling mess. :P

JimTheFly

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> If oblivon run crysis engine? HMmm

Game crashes then and then, and not to mention all other strange bugs the game had with it.

But worst part, insane long loading times when you walked a tiny bit.

MugiMugi

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Maybe its just the crappy youtube video quality.. but it doesn't look that much better to me than the game running with all settings maxed. Maybe I just need glasses =/

JustOneFix

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @okenny :): 350! I spent over 100 hours easy with Oblivion (don't get me started on Morrowind). But yes, the beauty of it all makes me pick it up on occasion just to wander around and find new things (which are always in abundance).

One of the great masterpieces in my opinion. But 350 hours? I don't know...that's quite a lot.

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Simply amazing, loved the no load times.

LosMerengues

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> I dunno. The main difference (visible in this resolution anyway) is the ambient occlusion, but that's doable in Gamebryo as well (we did it, on consoles too). Oblivion had some popping lights in the night/day transitions, other than that, I honestly can't see a lot of things that this one does better.

monkeybeach

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> hmm to me it looks the same as oblivion on my 360.. :-/ meh

cherrystarscollide

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @MrBionic: I agree. To me it looks just like Oblivion on my pc, except the trees look better. I can play it on high settings so that plus the youtube quality of the video is why its hard to tell a difference.

Ra is on That 70s Show

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> My current replacement laptop lags while playing the YouTube video...
I wonder how well it would be with that particular map on Cryengine...

One thing is for shure: There would be lots and lots of Cry.

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Sign me up for "yeah, this really isn't that different" too.

Aside from the wiry trees and the more detailed shadowing*, this is basically identical to how vanilla Oblivion looks on a modern PC. I'm not really getting the adulation here.

Surely the console versions don't look that much worse, do they? I thought they stacked up pretty well, though I suppose that was back in 2006.

There are some aerial shots in the video that simply aren't possible within Oblivion because of the way it loads cells, but otherwise... nah, it's really not that different.

*I'm not a great fan of either change, to be frank, especially since I use vanilla Oblivion as an example of the one game that does tree shadows pleasantly. Every other game, Crysis included, makes them far too defined, which just doesn't look right.

Calabast

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @Mr Fortitude: The 350+ Hours I have logged into oblivion was mostly standing around and taking it all in. I loved the whether system and the day-night cycles. Both the sunset and the night's sky was beautiful and if you play it enough hours continuously, you begin to feel in rhythm with these cycles. LOL.. I remember playing it once in my bedroom and I think I fell asleep with the 360 one and I have 5.1. Anyways, when I woke up, I checked the window to see why it was raining (half asleep) to realize it was Oblivion.

If you think of what this game is to Morrowind and what that was to dagger fall, the successor to oblivion will be something worth waiting another 4 or even 5 years for and that makes me excited :) I am such an Oblivion fanboy :)

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> looked great for the first half but once it went into the city it looked almost identical to me... really need to see this in HD everything looks like mud on youtube

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> This was explicitly designed to hurt me. To dig into my chest, and just poke my heart with hot irons. This is something I will never enjoy. And when Elder Scrolls V comes out, and I am 10 years older, will I care anymore about how amazing it looks?

...Yes. But it's gonna be a long wait.

TheHeartless

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @MrBionic: I have to agree?, is it because of the low res?.

It looks pretty much identical to the one I played on the PC.

coktoe

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @okenny :): I thought I was the only person with that fetish. Do you also stand on the hills in the northeast and look out over the landscape during sunrise and sunset? That is the most beautiful view in the entire game.

Mr Fortitude

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> That nearly brought a tear to my eye. In part due to how beautiful it looks and in part due to the nostalgia factor (I can't believe the game's been out long enough to warrant nostalgia, but nostalgia has been warranted). The Game of the Year Edition can't drop in price soon enough.

Sloopydrew

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @PownerOfNewbs: You, my friend have never played Oblivion (at least not correctly) if you are (griping about) crossing the map manually for each mission. Hope to a known location and travel from there. It's pretty simple. Now, I cross the map for scenic reasons but that's my own personal fetish :)

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> There's a Czech movie that won the Academy Award for best foreign movie - "Elementary School" I think - that features this exact music in a really moving, beautiful scene. I can't listen to this particular music without thinking of that scene. Funny and sad movie worth checking out.

Kavatar

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> So, I watched that, and didn't really notice a difference at all except for better foliage. The Imperial City still looks basically the same. Maybe it's because of YouTube's crappy quality. Maybe it's because I haven't ever played Crysis. Either way, I don't see anything to get excited over.

Bauske

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Guess it must have been a long time since my 1000 achievement point, marriage endangering Oblivion experience, or maybe I've blocked it from my memory after having to spend 30 minutes crossing the map each time for a new mission....but the buildings don't look very different to me.

Maybe its the greenery, but I guess I didn't spend as much time weed-whacking as everyone else. What does this have to do with Oblivion 2 having a good fighting system?

PownerOfNewbs

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> What's up with those trees? It's like the whole country is recovering from a recent clear-cutting or fire - they're all the same size and small to boot. In Oblivion (with the help of some natural world mods, especially), the trees were much larger, varied and realistic.

Rendering the whole thing in one go, not bad. Call me jaded, but it's not blowing me away, Oblivion on my mid-range graphics card seemed to look just as nice.

mariospants

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Even assuming he were able to actually port the entire game to the Crytek engine (which isn't his intent; he's just experimenting as I understand it), it still wouldn't make Oblivion a good game. :(

Morrowind was so much better.

Spiffyness

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> The outdoors looked amazing and the city lighting was much better. My main wish for the next Elder Scrolls (or even Fallout) is that the cities not be roped off in a castle anymore.

I've played it with orchestras before. It makes me a bit sad that when people don't recognize this stuff. You can hear inspiration that a lot of film music composers have found in this music.

In my opinion the real world is 99.9% of the time completely boring to look at... it's only rare eclipses, sunsets, clouds, storms, etc that are pretty to observe...

Games are supposed to embellish things in life to make them look more amazing, not just attempt to recreate them perfectly.

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> oooo pretty :)

Makes me wonder what ballistic hardware this video was rendered on...I'm imagining some fantastic rig with four 8 series cards and eight cores of processing power or some such nonesense. Or was this video rendered frame-by-frame and then stitched, like those barrel videos from a while back?

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> Is it just me or does that look about the same as Oblivion with the 'Natural Environments' mod loaded on?

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> My jaw dropped, and I really had an urge to re-install Oblivion. But then I remembered the sub-par gameplay and just enjoyed the rest of the video.

The trees look a bit too jungle-y, but once you get into town it just looks fantastic.

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> I love what people are doing with the engine. I've never seen a community so dedicated to experimenting. Has anyone even attempted to create a game out of it or just keep playing with the capabilities?

dunetiger reads kotaku, seems pleased

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> My computer's performance just chugged along just watching that video.
Utterly amazing!

This is why i hate not having a good computer. I know my PS3 has some crazy stuff, but I won't be able to play that, and that SUCKS. I wonder if I really could make a budget Crysis PC.

Scazza

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> It certainly looks beautiful. I wish I could actually play it though..

Megan Fox Iz Hot! ^-^ - ph15h

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> @Ichidou: Agreed about music. Can't tell too much difference though with graphics. It's nicer, but not UTTERLY MIND-BLOWING. You know.

Itri

]]> <![CDATA[What If Oblivion Ran On The Crysis Engine?]]> It looks pretty....but it would probably need 3 playstations 3 and 4 xbox 360 duck taped together to run smoothly :P
