not exactly where I was getting at, just saying it's probably a game people can enjoy no matter the graphics, but amazing is more like this and Skyrim has nothing on this lol:

You probably have a rig better than mine, since mine's a laptop  

It's running an i7 2630-QM (2.0 and 2.9 at Turbo boost), 8 GB Ram, ATI Radeon 6770M 2GB overclocked (has the same clock speeds as a 6870M, Geforce 560M GTX).
I ran The Witcher 2 at 1366x768 (maximum screen resolution) at Ultra and with Ubersampling at 30 FPS too (had to cut off the V-Sync though), so you'll bound to get much better FPS than mine. Oddly enough, Skyrim performs better on the outdoors than indoors (it's somewhat more fluid for me). 

@dahuman - Well there's not much that can touch Battlefield 3 PC Ultra settings at the moment in sheer graphical fidelity, but I find Skyrim's graphical style much more appealing than BF3's one. I'm not much into the ultra-realistic artstyle.

shit if you want appealing and high graphical fidelity then I got this here for you:

LOL I spit my coke all over my keyboard... DAMN, why didnt you warn us^^

.. this is SO hilarious, thanks for the laugh mate, was worth the cleaning up. ;)

I think i have the console versions to thank for this.

After I preordered Skyrim with some tip money i realized my computer was over 3 years old, and was a straight off the shelf model except a video card that was also 2 years old.

Didn't think it'd run... ended up auto setting my graphics to high quality of all things.

To me its an amazing feat.  Blue Dragon was on 3 DVD's and the game content and graphics were not anywhere near Skyrim.  This brings up many questions for me.. how much data on the DVD is compressed.. if any ?  If data is compressed.. 7 Gigs of data can easily become 11 gigs.. even by playing off the disc some data can be read and uncompressed since DVD speeds are much faster then bluray..  Many of the best selling bluray games on PS3 like GTA IV only use more space then their Xbox 360 counterpart because they include all world regions on the Disc ( IE, DVD North American version saves space because there is no french audio.. no japanese audio, or cutscenes - while bluray off balances its extra cost by shipping all regions on one disc )

There is a video here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhHLuDL3DEA in which this guy says ( whether by bug or not ) that loading the game to HD results in lower quality textures.  After deleting the game from his HD and clearing the  XB 360 cache in settings he played from the disc and the video does appear to show more detail.  I can't verify this because Im not buying the game till the end of the week..

Other then that as i mentioned above the amount of game content alone makes this game a winner on any of the platforms..

The only REAL losers are homes that are solely Wii owners, which dont even have the option to play this game unless they are PC gamers as well.. but many aren't simply because ( in reality )  you either are a PC gamer or you aren't.  Those dedicated to PC gaming either have PC controllers for gaming or comfortable affinity for using the keyboard.  Lets not forget if you play this on PC you likely have a Graphics card equipped to give you the better quality.. Most avg 600 dollar PC's won't cut the mustard..

it may sounds fanboyism i think you can edit the thread and put every(about 5 i think)screenshots/videos comparsion to there

Honestly, who cares which looks better? They're practically identical.

I cant verify it for a for a few  more days, but the comparison video most people are looking at supposedly used the low resolution textures of the 360..

Also.. this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhHLuDL3DEA  says even by running the game from Hard drive alone on the 360 it will show lower quality textures..

Other then that the only question in my mind is ( regardles of whether the quality is better or not )  how did they get that much content on one DVD for 360 owners when Blue Dragon which had less content and lower quality graphics came on 3 DVD's..  Is it possible they compressed data on the 360 version ?

Looking at format limitations of DVD ..There is no reason the game shouldn't look alittle better on bluray because its possible to put bigger textures on a disc with more space.  This is why BF3 has an extra disc for 360 owners.. so you can enjoy the high resolution textures ( if you care to load them... mostly meaning: if you have a 27 inch screen you might not notice much, but on a 60 inch like mine you definately will ) ...Either way Im buying this game.  The space available on DVD-  recently improved on the 360 .. Gears of War 3 was the first game to use the new XGD3 format and Epic still  only needed  to use 7.2 gigs for the longest Gears game....( they used 7.2 Gigs... but up to 7.95 gigs was possible with the new XB 360 format )... previous to this only 6.8 gigs has been available to developers... so the new format makes another GIG available.. Which is actually alot when you're already pushing the envelope..

If Bethesda can make a game a quality game of this caliber and stick it on one DVD it gives credit to the old saying that better graphics and more space alone don't equate to a better game... I think only Wii owners are gonna feel left out on this one..

WAT?
