metadigital Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Woo-hoo! Good work. "Our most ambitious project ever is finally done," said Todd Howard, executive producer of Oblivion. "We're excited to get the game into everyone's hands and let them experience it for themselves. We hope they enjoy it. I think it's our best game yet." ...Oblivion is an epic, open-ended single-player RPG for the next generation providing gamers with one of the most life-like gaming experiences to date. The powerful combination of unprecedented graphics and freeform gameplay allows gamers to unravel the main quest or explore the vast world at their own pace.... That mightbe good. But it might mean more polygon soup eating ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThaiBinh Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'm looking forward to playing this. I'm a little worried about the system requirements, so I hope they've put a lot of effort into making it stable and fun on less spectacular systems. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Baley Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) Stolidly inane, I wonder how Bethesda will once more ingeniously violate my frivolous understanding, a couple of assuredly shallow words come to mind, "fun", "intelligent", "role-playing".

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Looks like the Gameplay date was right. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Recommended: -3 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor -1 GB System RAM -ATI X800 series, Nvidia GeForce 6800 series, or higher video card As we all know recommended = minimum. They're pretty reasonable requirements considering it's a top of the range game. There are none that are right, only strong of opinion.

alanschu Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Recommended only = minimum if you are not very flexible with your performance settings IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pidesco Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If they go the way of Morrowind, Oblivion will run like death on the recommended system.

BattleCookiee Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 If they go the way of Morrowind, Oblivion will run like death on the recommended system. Morrowind's engine was certainly NOT optimalised for the PC. I think they learned their lesson though and act like Rockstar.

alanschu Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I did raise an eyebrow at the 500 MHz minimum requirement for Morrowind. The minimum requirements seem just so much higher now (relatively speaking). I think they were a bit more conservative. Morrowind officially supported slow-ass cards from years before.

karka Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) I tried to play Morrowind with an Athlon 800 Mhz + 128 mb ram + 32 mb tnt machine when it was out. It was just unplayable with full detail. Edited March 2, 2006 by karka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanschu Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hahaha, 32 MB TNT for the win! I don't remember what video card I had at the time. I either had the Rage Fury or the original Radeon...I'm 99% sure the latter. I also had an Athlon 1 GHz T-Bird, which really helped. I'm pretty sure I had the Radeon, because I could play the game really nice, but I didn't have the pixel shader support....later I got a card that had it and the water was truly unbelievable.
