The Elder Scrolls Online Graphics Comparison: Ultra vs. Medium vs. Minimum

Zenimax hosted a large-scale beta test last weekend for The Elder Scrolls Online, inviting millions of players to try their upcoming MMORPG. Many elements that make Skyrim a great RPG are brought into the Elder Scrolls MMO but graphics isn't one of them.

Min looks pretty bad but not unplayable.

Textures could be a bit better on low. Look at the very last pic on page 2. The texture on the monster is AWFUL!!!

KrisButtar4378d ago

You mean the Argonian(the reptile npc)? All the min textures are awful IMO but that one does look more so when looking at its counter parts

The game runs pretty well even on low-end PC hardware. I've got old components and a low-end, although recent graphics card, and my PC runs the game pretty well. Therefore I wonder how it'll look on the PS4. 1080p60 with Ultra settings would probably be doable, but then some optimization would need to be done by Zenimax.

A bit off-topic, anyone know if the PS4 version will support:
1. add-ons?
2. keyboard and mouse?

Tried to reach Zenimax via Twitter without result.

The problem isn't the graphics (wgich are very satisfying and run well) but the bugs, tooooooo buggy and crashes many times. We also need a PS4 Beta to see how it runs.

TheGrimReaper4378d ago

Yeah, I've tried showing the game off to a friend...

I've been using /reloadui & relogs more than showing him the game :/

Funny: During the last quest at the starter isle you are told to wait for some refugees. 30 people were waiting for them. I've checked the room before the "Wait for them!"-order. They've been hold back by two invincible skeletons. It was funny to watch 30 people trying anything too kill these enemies (FYI relogging was the solution here, just in case if this bug will still be there on release. It has been around for a while now...)

PLASTICA-MAN4378d ago

I got the same problem but when spawning hate/gear/rage abominations in the gravyard. There were like 30 people waiting for them to spawn. I relogged multiple times and only one abomination showed up, the others were bugged so I spent the last 15 minutes of the Beta dancing after getting "Put your dance boots on". Lol.

Minimum is awful. But I am amazed it runs on my PC. Still, I wish I had a powerful enough PC to run it on Ultra! Thankfully, it is coming to Xbox One and PS4, which is great for console users...for the whole gaming community as well!

Now if only they would get rid of the sub fee...

webeblazing4378d ago

ultra the game looks like poop. how powerful a pc has to be to run this.

MadLad4378d ago

Ultra, even by MMO standards, doesn't look very good.
Min doesn't even meet vanilla Morrowind in terms of visuals.

mrdeli4378d ago

I sense great peril for Bethesda and the Elder Scrolls brand.

Jojo09034378d ago

Any word on the ps4 or xb1 beta? I think I read some where the ps4 beta will start before the xb1 beta

Good, I hate the Idea of these corporations trying to put people out of work. I honestly think we need to all start speaking up on the issue before things start getting bad.

Reaper22_35d ago

I agree but we also need to do that with other corporations. Not just in gaming. But I also fell that its inevitable because its all about the bottom line which is the almighty dollar.

Abnor_Mal34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

What happens when people are out of jobs because of AI and robots being capable of doing the work of a human in less time and with out breaks. How will the corporations make money when the ordinary man is jobless and cashless unable to buy what the corporations are selling. How will it affect the corporations bottom line when they themselves put the working force out of work.

Trying to type fast before my phone resets.

rlow134d ago

well if we all feel its inevitable then it will be. I agree its just not about gaming, but its a good place to start.
