And Oblivion had terrible graphics for its day, like bottom barrel, on any medium. Those quotes were either made up, paid for, or stark hyperbole to get in a magazine ad.

It didn't really look that bad at all. I remember it looking pretty good, to be honest. I don't think it was amazing; it had poor distant LOD, terrible faces, shadows, and a garbage UI, and everything had this weird plastic sheen on it. But it still had a much more detailed world than most other games out there, especially in the RPG genre. Like Morrowind before it, it had obnoxious system requirements for maximum settings, so not many got to see the best it had to offer on day one.

Then Crysis came out a year and a half later and aged it into... well... Oblivion.

The biggest problem was that it had bullshots that looked top-notch, and the final game was a significant step down, especially in lighting, and sported the same awkward animations Bethesda's known for. It looked better for its time than Skyrim did, but a little worse for its time than Morrowind did.

>>283851520
Yeah, no. Even calling Morrowind's graphics "decent" would have been a hell of an understatement. Even its harshest critics conceded that it was a beautiful game and called it the best-looking PC RPG when it came out. Mostly for its environments; it still had shit animations and the rather ugly third person view was clearly nothing more than an afterthought.

>>283852830

The dev videos also spouted a shitload of lies too, they promised us an amazing 'living' radiant AI and showcased the beginning prison scene with much better graphics and lighting.
Shit, so many were fooled, we were falling over ourselves for bigger, better Morrowind.

I realize people who say things like this are like 12 years old and never even knew what a game was when morrowind and oblivion came out but can anyone explain to me what they are even talkign about?

Where are these games with amazing graphics that were released in 2002?
