  • Funny how it looked nothing like this cause it had to run on consoles as well

  • @Koloss477 Well it's going to be exactly the same with Skyrim too, so either suck it up or go play something else. Even more so in fact, because Skyrim was developed for the 360. It's not the 90s any more, most people game on consoles nowadays.

  • @l3awl3ag I know,sad huh?

  • @Koloss477 Kinda lol. To be honest if consoles weren't so damn easy to use, I'd still game on PC. I started my gaming on PC, back in the days of Half Life, Battlefield 1942 and Hitman Codename 47 lol. It's too complicated for me now though, what with all of the different system requirements and the way that it all seems to be heading towards digital distribution.

    I just like the fact that if I buy a console game, I know it will run. For me that's worth the performance hit.

  • @Koloss477 Computers are way above my level of intelligence nowadays I guess lol.

  • Hmm no dynamic soft shadows in my version. I'm nervous for Skyrim, guess we'll see in 10 days what its really like.

  • I'm sorry, but the second I saw the first shot of the inside of the prison cell I just about screamed BULLSHIT at the top of my lungs, maybe it looked that good on some sort of hypothetical computer from space but there was definitely no way to make it look that good in 2006.

  • @Hakudohshi lol yes there was. 8800 Ultras in SLI were fucking boss.

  • 0:16

    I still get a warm fuzzy feeling when I hear that music. I want to grab a claymore and wander through Vvardenfell or Cyrodiil... Skyrim in ten days!

  • 1:59

    ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!

    I just had to...

  • thats oblivion on todd howard's computer...

  • This demo and oblivion's subsequent release thought me to never believe a freaking word Todd Howard goes on about.

  • SKYRIM IN 9 DAYS 12 HOURS 25 MINUTES!!

  • this is differnt from my oblivion, is it a prototype vertion

  • @morganrock1 No it's a dishonest, misleading gameplay video. Don't worry about Skyrim, though, because it's on an XBOX

  • @FredIsMyName22 It was only misleading because Bethesda was over-ambitious. It's not like they were trying to blatantly lie to us, they THOUGHT that all of this stuff would be in the game, just like we did. It's just that they had it scale it back, because they over-estimated what they could do in the game.

  • Wow they had sutch there!

    

  • i'm watching this because the voices sound better!

  • Gah...this looks so much better than the final release... I'd say this looks on par with Skyrim.

  • @PSPmaster321 It looks this good on decent PC hardware. Skyrim will look even better.

  • @yaxxee Don't tell me that. I have a pretty top of the range PC and it does NOT look anything like this. The dynamic soft shadows and other effects were completely removed from the code! And I can only hope that Skyrim will look better...

  • @PSPmaster321 Ha! Except it's on a maxed out computer, whereas the Skyrim gameplay has been on XBOX, which translates to medium, if that.

    But it does dehype me a fair bit.

  • why no modders can put the shadows back?

  • this game is OVER 9000... years old.

  • This looks better than the original Oblivion. :)

  • @OttomanGamer This is the original Oblivion.

  • does anyone else feel like they shouldve dispatched a larger troop of blades to guide the emporer to freedom? not that it wouldve helped (he knew he was gonna die) but its the fuckin emporer. cmon.

  • todd should do this for skyrim!

  • @mortimerr2011 he will, this monday :)

  • @R4ul5k8 are you fuckin serious?! awesome!

  • this game looks crap compared to skyrim. but i guess back then we were all like OMG OBLIVION, now were OMG SKYRIM, then we will be OMG TES6, but we'll look back at skyrim and have the same feeling when i was this video today. meh.

  • @spartanses na this game still looks amazing

  • @spartanses Tes6 may just be "Orcainia".

  • @spartanses Have you even played Oblivion? It's amazing! Definately not crap.

  • @MisterDyer yes ive played oblivion. back then it was insane, but it looks bad now compared to the new skyrim

  • @MisterDyer It's pretty meh, especially in contrast to Morrowind.

  • 2:51 I think they used other voice actor in this demo. At least I don´t remember that voice in my oblivion.

  • @P4nzerk93 Just a placeholder for the demo.

  • @P4nzerk93 This was all changed when it finally came out.

  • People can say whatever the heck they want. Oblivion was a great looking game when it came out. Its still better than even some of today's games, especially on max settings. Add some of the texture mods like Quarl's Texture Pack and then Better Oblivion Cities, and you really get something astonishing.

  • @DropItLiikeItsHawwt you said it was a waste of money which it is so not. btw your comment is at the very top of the second page and was probably on the first page when i saw it. If thats foolish to look at the first 2 pages of comments takes 2 seconds and if you think thats some major accomplishment you must be extremely lazy to the point you probably make phone calls to other people in your house while both of you are home...LOL you have no grounds to assume things about your superiors.

  • @DropItLiikeItsHawwt what? did you get lost even with a map? dragon age isn't shit!!! go listen to justin bieber while you play operation and watch barney

  • I see a better menu at the start. And you guys saying that there are no shadows, make sure you have the option on for shadows. And everything is more 3D (stones) compared to the Oblivion we know today.

  • Dynamic shadows in Oblivion??

  • hahahahhahahahaha listen to baurus's voice compared to what it ended up being...And its all dark? Whats with your graphics card cause on my pc its not as dark and all.

  • @masterassassin7 the voicework is kinda bad but do you realize there is a brightness setting on your pc? morons shouldn't be allowed to own technology

  • @Spring1234777 Yes i do dumbass, but with almost decent graphics card the games graphics can stay the same but it gets dark. Dickheads shouldnt be allowed to own a youtube account.

  • @masterassassin7 who cares about his graphics card, he just has the brightness setting down low and you are confounded by this?

  • @Spring1234777 No, and what would you know? Oh, and wanna hear something wick whack? I honestly just dont give a fack? *I decided not to swear*

  • @Spring1234777 Just so you know im not trying to take a stab at you or anything i just dont care.

  • thumbs up if you are here to compare it to skyrims gameplay demo!!

  • @Spring1234777 Haha yep :)

  • U guys know its for ps3

  • @spongebrezzy123 yeah its for ps3, i bought it today

  • Its too dark

  • I just compared this with my xbox 360 same part as this video and there are no shadows for items.

    They took em out its the same with ultra settings on my brothers gaming computer.

  • @elgengero1991

    yep.

  • redguard voice is retarded...soz

  • Oblivion is great... Skyrim will be GREATER!!

    Can't wait till Todd releases a similar "demo reel" for Skyrim. With only 9 months to go they'll probably to start releases screens and videos pretty soon.

  • This looks very nice,and it was very nice for 2006.

  • A large round of applause for you guys! Please do not disapoint me.

  • Is it just me, or does the demo look 10x better than the full game?

  • @Gordaton back then it had shadows on every object, makes things look 10x better, skyrim will have these

  • @xxashton92xx Cool.

  • sucks

  • Where the fuck did these shadows go??? I don't have them in my copy :/

  • @lordcedrik4

    XBOX360 

  • Graphics weren't as good in retail? Bitches be playing on consoles. Go PC.

  • @DL305 the pc graphics for oblivion are just as shit as the console version, I know I played both. 2005 was a different time man. The graphics in this demo are ridiculous compared to the full retail version of the game, such as the fact all items in this demo have freaking shadows. But the good news is skyrim will be beastlier than this on both pc AND xbox. Though due to the times we live in the pc version of skyrim will be immensely superior.

  • WTF i didnt start the game with a silver longsword

  • Hm, this version looks way better than the retail...

  • @Socrates271

    Bethesda showed PC version of Oblivion in 2005, NOT xbox360

  • @lordzilu1584 Gotcha, just saw the tag.

  • @lordzilu1584 Xbox game on the PC they do the same with all their games and Im pretty sure other game devs do that too

  • @2PlayerPlaythroughs

    This is PC version, he was showing this demo during E3 2005

    He was using the mouse to navigate the map, Bethesda has adimited it

    Go and check about this game's history

  • I think it's funny how there are some people that hate Oblivion because they loved Morrowind so much. Morrowind was the first Elder Scrolls game I played and I found it really buggy, slow, and at times boring. I found Oblivion to be totally opposite. The amount of detail they put in that game is what forced me to continue playing and the fact that it was good to look at helped as well.

  • omg those shadows are are omg I need this

  • 11.11.2011 is coming SKYRIM The elder scrolls 5 look my video skyrim trailer

    OMG IM SO HAPPY SKYRIM I´M COMING :DDD

  • Love how amazing it looked then saw the completed version and it was not half as good as the graphics shown on this, the 360 version never even had bloody soft shadows and most of the textures, the 360 has the power behind it so bloody use it.

  • epic game nuff said

  • Its too bad they took "Soft Shadows" out.

  • WHEN IS ELDER SCROLLS 5 OUT?

  • @KeithPsychosis 11.11.11

  • @drakejoseph25 Haha, I know now. Super excited!!!

  • i was dissapointed when the 360 had none of the shadows and detail that made it look like this

  • wierd how the graphics arnt realy that good

  • @mrliampep5i Wat are you talking about....the graphics are EPIC....you do know this game is old right?

  • Oblivion is probably the best game I've played. Although, I seldom play games this game truly enthralled me with the level of interactivity, vastness and non-linear gameplay. This game is quite an achievement for Bethesda.

    I'm eagerly anticipating some news on a new TES game.

  • Where the fuck is Valen Dreth!!

  • Lol kvatch was sutch? :D

  • I own the PS3 game of the year edition and i cant get rid of vamprism can anyone help?

  • @MrGamerhelper98 yeah go see the count of skingrad he is a vampire i think its skingrad but theres a glitch in the GOTY edition the women who makes the cure will not take the blood grass so you have to save the game go into your system settings change language to german load the game back up give her the blood grass then change system settings back to english its a massive pain in the ass

  • Okay if he just started a new game how does he have a sword?

  • By the way, what's with the different voices in this demo? It just sounds so weird... lol.

  • so it's basically like WoW except on xbox, or ps3?

  • how many objects did he say were rendered in the game?

  • All we freakin' asked for was a freakin' roleplay game with freakin' goddamn realistic graphics. Why does every freakin' game demonstration always looks 10 freakin' times better than the freakin' current released one!?!.........And I can't freakin' stop saying freakin'. Damn Austin Power quotes, getting freakin' stuck in my freakin' head.

  • thats funny because the graphics arent actully like that on 360 or ps3 THERE BAD

  • VEGETA, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT THE OBJECT LEVEL? *vegeta takes off scouter* ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND *scouter is furiously crushed in hand* WHAT NINE THOUSAND?

  • Comment removed

  • lol, he's so modded. he has a godamn sword in the prison cell.

  • 2:01 "it's over 9000!!" ;D

  • @drumfinger HAS to be a reference (by the narrator). it HAS to be :-D

  • isent this on ps3?

  • yea

  • why is there no true dynamic soft shadows on the final release? :/

  • Its not only the soft shadows,its everything! look at the graphics man this game made by god

  • Cause it got dumped due to it being too difficult for the dynamic soft shadows to run on consoles. This demo was run on a PC before the change was made. Unfortunately the final PC version also carried this change as well, even though it didn't have to. PC version is unfortunately mostly a port of the console versions. Thank god though we have the Construction Set and player made mods though on PC.

  • Stewker Thankfully PC users also benefit greatly because of mods that can enhance graphics to extreme levels. I myself modded my game to look amazing (thanks to my ATI 4870 :D ), as well as so much other things that consle users will never experience on a Xbox 360 or PS3. In the end PC users win big time, though I do wish those graphics were kept and not dumped.

  • he said OVER 9000!!!!

  • Did the final game get over 9000 objects? I dont think so

  • Is this the demo?? !!!

  • (corrected) Xbox 360 & PS3 were both going to be 4 to 5 times more powerful than they ended up being. original CPU: 1 TFLOP class final CPU 1/10 and 1/5 of a TFLOP class (100 and 200 GFLOPS) (Xenon and final PS3 CELL) original GPU: G80 / R600 class final GPU: downgraded G70 / R520 class (RSX & Xenos) original RAM: 1 GB final RAM 512MB Oblivion was downgraded for Xbox360 and this downgraded version was the basis of the PC version. Then ported to PS3.
  • Shame that PC owners suffered for that. Looked so much better in this.

  • Xbox 360 & PS3 were both going to be 4 or 5 times more powerful than they ended up.

    original CPU: 1 TFLOP class

    final CPU 1/10 to 1/5 of a TFLOP class

    (100~200 GFLOPS)

    original GPU: G80 / R600 class

    final CPU downgraded G70 / R520 class

    original RAM: 1 GB

    final RAM 512MB

    Thus Oblivion was downgraded for Xbox360 and this downgraded version was ported to PC.

  • What did the video say about how many painstakingly rendered objects there were?

  • 9000

  • It's a shame we can't move objects on ps3... At least I tried I couldn't do it. I think so...

    Well Morrowind on Xbox didn't have it, but... Anyway, I should check again one day.

  • Cant move objects?

  • Yes, you can actually. I checked it out recently. It's L2.

  • where did you download the oblivion demo

  • This demo looked so incredibe, same as 'hardcoregamer847A', this was the Oblivion I fell in love with...

    The game was great but if I watch this I think it's weird I didn't find it disapointing back then, because I think that now.

  • Why the fuck has all the good graphics been removed :(

    It changed look from Crysis level to Cartoon :(

    Good thing that we still have Qarls Texture Pack 3 :)

  • did they change the radiant AI

  • Listen to main menu background music in this video, it's a polished version of the GREAT Morrowind main theme.

    It's been 4 years now that I'm trying to get it, but I can't find it anywhere. I WANT IT! Did anyone have luck with this?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm going to buy the platinum tomorrow!

  • Glenroy and barus sound hell werid

  • ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND OBJECTS!

  • Man, even after three years, that game is so awesome, I should rent it or even buy it, to remind me the good old times.

  • how do i get objects to create shadows on the pc? i toyed with all the settings to see if anything worked but wasn't successful. Any insight would be helpful and appreciated. thnx!

  • Producers decided to remove this option just before release, for performance reasons apparently.

  • there was avillage called sutch but they took it out you can see it on the start screen where it shows the map with the cities

  • good video

  • do they have the demo for xbox360

  • no. it's out.

  • i have this game for ps3, and i love the game, but y do the graphics look so great on here, but on any other console on highest settings they dont even compare to the ones on here?

  • cause some editing programs have graphic filters to make it look really good HD (for PC)

  • not only console but PC as well

  • because PS3,xbox 360 could not run such high graphics and so advanced AI,so they lowered it.

    Unfortunate

  • Since Oblivion was released 4 years after Morrowind in 2006 we should expect the next elder scrolls in 2010. Damn that's far away :(

  • :-)

  • @melonhead28

    Not really.

    lol

  • baurus sounds ALOT different

  • Guys can you tell me wtf is with my Oblivion ???When i enter the game it's ok ,it looks good and all that...BUT,when i enter to play all i can i see is white and a bit of shadow at objects.And when i try to change something at the graphics and click return the game exits and gives that stupid messege "Sent Error" or "Dont Sent" what the hell is wrong ?The requaierments are ok...

  • u might have to uninstall completely then install it again

  • Why XBOX 360? In the making of Oblivion they clearly state that they use a PC for the demo. Anyway, these guys can run the game at super high detail because they only playing 6 parts of the game, the prison (without the tutorial) the forest, the ayleid ruin, a cave with goblins, a street in chorrol, and a few streets in Kvatch.

  • lol baurus sounds different

  • what is the system you are running this game on atm with this review?

  • this guy made oblivion lol. this wasnt a final version of oblivion anyway. the graphics were toned down tons.

  • why?

  • all lies look at hoe beeter the game looks and even when u put it on super high u dont get all the shadows

  • can someone tell me how to get lockpicks

  • I was wondering if anyone knows what happene to Oblivion? I noted massive differences between the development gameplay demos (as above) and the end result. The graphics, textures, lighting, shadows, actors, diologue, music all changed significantly. What happened to the game? Visually these demos are mind blowing but it looked twee and cartoon like by the time it got to retail?

  • Anyone else get the impression they *did* make Morrowind's sequel, but the corporate bods chopped it to pieces for the console markets? I wish there was a Director's Cut for video games. So many get ruined by business issues.

  • true but if u got the 360 well thats why but even on the pc oblivion u dont get all the shadows that makes a game look the best

  • This was the Oblivion i fell in love with, not the retail version.why Todd hOWARD WHY????????????

  • yeah it looked so promising.

    curse him, he ruined it

  • why?

  • Because the graphics were to high for xbox 360 /ps3 to handle this master piece

  • what about pc dood an 8600 gt could handle these graphics

  • yes it can.

  • I usually dont like rpg's or fantasy stuff, but this game is probobly my favorite game i have. I almost forgot i had a life when i first started playing because it was so fukcing addicting.

  • SAME!

  • yea

  • is this any fun? morrowind bored me to tears

  • yeah its amazing

  • Yeah same for me as well. Morrowind was really boring to play, but oblivion is really addicting. Much better than Morrowind

  • Wrong, unless youre into action games, not rpgs.

    Oblivion is just a dumbed down version of morrowind,

    dumbed down for the casual 12 year old gamer.

  • Morrowind started out way to slow. I don't like the fact that an attack is based on a dice roll. When you start out in Morrowind half of your blows don't land because its based on a dice roll.

  • why do you think so?

  • @bushmecj No way, Oblivion destroyed all the awesome lore of Morrowind. Morrowind had a much more interesting world, less stupid gameplay elements (the guy who came up with the level scaling should be shot, it made exploring pointless) and a story that made more sense. Oblivion was the largest disappointment ever.

  • @JarlFrank - Jarl, WTF are you doing commenting on youtube? The retards here won't take any notice of you - get back to the codex where you'll be among friends who understand you lol :-)

  • They don't look like that because maybe your PC Is shit.

  • lmao

  • Oblivion was dumbed down for the 360....

    And then ported to the PC....

  • what no way i never expected such from Bethesda Softworks.They should have made it on Pc then ported to 360 not other way round.........its no wonder that even PC retail versions dont even look close to being this good even on max settings......................

  • Why?! the game was so amazing.better then crysis graphics and AI
