	A new video of TES4 has surfaced on the web, and it looks pretty good. While the animations leave a bit to be desired, the game is still looking incredible. The download site is a bit slow so be patient. >Link

Picture quality on this video is very poor. To be honest it looks like they where showing an old build of the game.

why am i not able to play the movie? its in a .rar format and it wont let me open it with anything like WMP or quick time

to Kage:

The rar file is a compressed file format (like Winzip). Use winrar (www.rarlabs.com) to open the file and extract the video

That build was from december, so many things look a bit bland, but i think its the best vid of oblivion out there, the magic and the combat is especially good and its great to actually see full on combat instead of udut quick flashes of it.

Argh!?! The animation and frame rate is no better than Morrowind! Geez, if next gen can't get those graphics at 60fps then it's going to be a disappointing generation for me, at least graphically.

Gooseboy, if every generation of hardware aimed for 60fps with no exception then we'd never see games pushing the hardware, we have to sacrafice some fps to say 30 so we can really see what a console can do, or play it safe with 60, its up to the consumer.

Dr. A, thanks a lot! ill get to it.

to gooseboy:

it is correct what mash said. next generation doesnt automatically mean that framerates will be better. yes with every new generation more powerful hardware makes it easier to achieve higher frame rates, but if a developer can pull more effects out of the system they will. besides its still first gen with the 360, if it was 4 years from now and the developers will have had all this time with the hardware then yes i would see your point. what matters most with frame rate is how optimized the engine is and how hard the developers use that engine to push the system, both of those matter more then hardware. why do you think so many people laugh when they saw Kenny K. say that ps3 games will run at 120 fps, lol.

ok hate to bug again, i got the file exrtacted ok, but now im getting a "downloading codec error". ive tried to download a few codecs but none work, where do i get a codec that will play this friggen thing?

try googling "matroska Pack" it should have divx and xvid codecs that are able to run this :)

Enjoy the video!

"if next gen can't get those graphics at 60fps"

Seriously I am kind of sick of people crying that something is 60fps, then saying they can see the difference. I am not saying there isn't a difference, but in the broad scope of gaming, I feel 30 vs 60 is nothing.

If I remember right, the human eye can see at about 30fps (smoothly).. the difference visually between 30-60 isn't much. The only difference I can remember reading about is reaction time or something along those lines. The game will respond quicker. I don't see how video output is connected to user input, but whatever.

Point is, 30 or 60, game still looks good.

Acctually the human eye can perceive 24fps as smooth.

The human eye doesn't see things in terms of discrete frames per second. It's more of a continuous update, as I understand it. What this means, essentially, is that the human eye can and does distinguish between, say, 30 and 60 fps. Slower frame rates can still convey motion, but that doesn't mean the human eye is incapable of detecting better frame rates.

The point is, yes, 60 fps DOES like better than 30 fps.

look*

=P

Heh... anyone who says they can't see a BIG difference between 30fps and 60fps gaming is friggin' blind. No two ways about it.

And on the video again... the faces look like PS1 quality and the animations again, look terrible.

Not to mention the voice acting is cheesy. Like they are reading from Shakespear rather than acting casual etc.

Whatever! A constant 30FPS and a constant 60FPS the eye cannot tell the difference. Now a drop FPS from any of those's speeds can be noticed. 30FPS frame rate occurs faster than the optical response of the eye, therefore the illusion of smooth motion is perceived.

If this game is using motion blur then the look of each frame is doubled. 30fps + motion blur looks like 60 fps. Also this game moves smoothly and this is an old build of the game.

Also don't be fooled this is probably an older build.

To Kage:

It's me again 8P

Try a codec called "ffdshow" - search on www.afterdawn.com. Also i use a player called "Media Player Classic" on that site too. These two are enough to play 80% of multimedia on the net.

Get "Quicktime Alternative" & "Real Player Alternative" (same site again) and you are pretty much covered 8)

Oh yeah, you are also gonna need the AC3 filter to play video files with AC3 audio..

Good luck

Or you could just get a good media player like VLC
