it doesnt matter what they look like 4 is the better game

Welcome to an even bigger waste of time than usual.

I didn't think the leap was that big. It really is amazing what developers can do on the same console when they're given some time.

Maybe Activision could learn a thing or two from Bethesda.

Edit: why is my reply all the way down here? Stupid mobile phones!

Awesome comparison, Skyrim has really set the bar so high..

cant wait for the next fallout! long live skyrim!

Oblivion and Skyrim look about the same on my pc, but my oblivion also has about 20gigs of mods for textures, and other things. Forgot how ugly vanilla oblivion was. lol. damn those are some ugly mountains.

there is alot to do in skyrim it real good but i played so much 4 that it will never take its place.just cant get into it at all

I was going to co pare skyrim and oblivion, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

Sorry. I just can't stop making that joke... I've used it like 5 times today.

I hate lens of truth. They always show fps comparisons from sections of games where the fps will never dip on 360. Anyway, 5 years ago the game could barely even run on console. It looked much better on pc. I remember my 360 giving me like 10 fps with oblivion, switched to pc soon after. http://rippingozziereads.fi... http://i77.photobucket.com/... and just to show skyrim http://img140.imageshack.us... http://cloud.steampowered.c...

A new leaf for LOT? Personally I prefer some of these new editorials that examinine the evolution or devolution of games in a single series as opposed to the consoleVSconsole comparisons that usually end in controversy or start flamewars. Some games for example screen tear less with each iteration, some more. Sometimes not who you'd expect.

How long until this thread become a xbox vs ps3 vs pc again.

The game looks damn great.

How can anybody sit there and say oblivion looks better or is the better game? They are apart of the same series and made by the same people. Skyrim's graphics are way better than Oblivion's and the overall game mechanics, balance are better too. Also they got rid of the stupid Oblivion gates that would popup everywhere and were the same levels over and over again. I know they were apart of the storyline, but how lame is that your main part of the game is all the same shit! Skyrim FTW!

I actually bought oblivion a couple days before skyrim came out and added a bunch mods. Skyrim looks like the better game but I'm holding off on it until the good mods get out.

I thought Oblivion was going to be as good as graphics could get. We are spoiled lol

Skyrim = GOTY

the surprising graphical leap isn't between Oblivion & Skyrim, it's the PC version over the Xbox 360 version. I'm shocked how much better it is on PC - even without the enhancement mods to come - it's big time awesome.

As someone who loved Oblivion on Xbox & will never forget the grand vista moment upon exiting the sewer for the first time, I'm deeply disappointed with Skyrims graphics in comparison.

I've played the first 5 hours or so on both systems and while my jaw is constantly dropping on PC, I've given up on the xbox 360 - feels like I'm in a Fable game in parts !

The difference is actually pretty tiny considering the time between them.

there was a bigger gap between skyrim and oblivion than oblivion and morrowind.

and the difference between oblivion and morrowind is like TEN times more than skyrim and oblivion

its mostly just better textures, but you can get even better ones in mods.

I suddenly have the urge to play oblivion again

AMAZING I cannot wait to play this the detail compared to oblivion is jaw dropping one of the best lens of truth comparisons i've seen in a long time.

They are not really showing Oblivion from it's best side. This is pre patch images, before the improved draw distance was implemented.
