Why were the Oblivion character so god damn ugly?
|
It was released in 2006 where HD Games are still new.
|
Come on, we've had characters that look like humans from the beginning of the 6th gen - at least. Maybe even longer (don't forget PC).
|
You've also got to take into considerration the open world nature of the game. Whilst games released at the sametime like Half-Life 2 and Call of Duty 2 had better looking characters and models, both were very linear in scale and didn't have to stream as much data as Oblivion. Also, we can see a lot of emphasis was placed on landscape over characters.
|
Meeh, I wouldn't try and defend the games graphics, I think there are better looking PS2 games if I'm going to be honest.
Even for a game on such a large scale the graphics are still pretty poor.
|
Are we talking art-style or technically? Because the landscapes still look quite nice for me. Characters are horrible, but the views from the high points are still pretty.
|
Ehh, both really. The landscapes were pretty empty and all looked the same.
As for technically, it was like the game had texture streaming issues, but it didn't, that's what the graphics were like. At long distances there was no detail in the grass, it was just a big green blob.
I am talking about the console version here though, not PC.
