Widescreen Gaming Forum

Sure thing. I'll post them this evening.

I just read this on IGN.com ... :cry:

Bethesda recently announced that the PC version of ES4 cannot have both HDR and AA, but it looked quite nice with just HDR. Load times are faster on the PC, but the visuals are about equal. The 360 version of Oblivion does both HDR and AA

I wouldnt worry Paddy, itll still look 100x better than the 360 version with HDR at 1920x1200 :)

So you say. :wink: I'll get some shots up of the 360 version in widescreen when the game comes in tomorrow.

Looking forward to it kjk.

Would be nice if some more peeps could take screens of the pc version and share. highest possible res and quality but still playable. No showoffs(no extreme quality and unplayable).

I haven´t decided if i´m gonna buy the pc or 360 version yet.

So I just got done with about 4 hours of oblivion, and it is just what I expected, Morrowind on crack. I LOVE it.

I'm REALLY peeved off right now though, I hate how the 360 handles its vga output. Some games like this one and PGR3 only run in 1024x768 when in 1280x1024 mode. It runs in some weird res and it stretches, so I'm forced to downgrade to 1024x768 and it just doesn't look that hot.

I NEED a 2407 now, NEEEED!!!

I was able to get a copy of the game this afternoon, but had to go to work so I haven't got to play it yet.

This is the longest day at work... EVER! :cry:

Can't wait to see how it performs with the x1900xt. I am loving this GPU by the way. it can run at 670 core/ 1500 mem with no lockups or artifacts. Probably could go higher, but I am scared to try it with the stock cooler.

OBLVION!!! WOOT!

I'll add that it does widesreen properly, correct FOV and all.

So I can use my native resolution 1440 x 900?

Edit: Nevermind, I already found the answer in another topic

Okay, it looks like you have to edit an .ini file in order to take screenshots in the PC version. I messed around trying to find the option last night for a while and finally stumbled on to that. You can find the details on the Oblivion PC page (it's listed under Elder Scrolls IV) over at gamefaqs. I found this just before I zonked out last night, but hopefully I can get some shots tonight.

On a separate note, I did notice some severe slowdown in framerates last night just in certain outdoor areas. One area was just north of Bruma and there was a lot of tall grass - the bad part was I was trying to fight a guy here, and the lag was prohibitive. Once I retreated to the road, everything sped up again and I beat him down. The other place I really noticed it was just outside of the Imperial City at the stables around dusk. Maybe rendering all the horses gave it problems... I'm not sure. Looks like this is gonna be a game to really test your hardware for a while to come.
