| MW homepage screeshots look different then my game? |
|
I just wanna know if anyone else has noticed this, the screenshots on the Morrowind homepage looked different/better then they do on my system? Such as the lighting seems to be much more colorful (im running at 32bit ) and the user interface is different (like hp bars and whatnot, more colorful as well) Hell, even some of the armor texturing is different (such as some imperial guards and Ordinators) I can tell the diff between resolution/fsaa settings, but im talking about acual graphic capability. Is there a graphical difference between the Collectors Edition and Regular edition? |

There is ofcourse not difference between this two versions.
I have several ideas about this difference:
- they took it from some pre-release version and changed several things after that (HP bar)
- they alway use best of best PC to take screenshots to show how perfect this game is (this is normal) |

I have a geforce 4 with AMD 1.2g. graphiclly the games should look the same, but *perform* differently. im sure they put it on a 2g with a ge4 ti4600, but that doesnt make the textures and/or armor structure different on some models. |

The screenshots at the official site may not be original. Usually they will be rendered to produce a better result to "wow" the audience. Just my speculation.

Yes, this is what I ment.
With best of best PC I didnt speak about 2Ghz P4 with GForce4, I spoke about lets say some 8 procesor server with some proffesional graphic card. |

Ah your talkin about the 'supercomputers', I gotcha. thats such crap though, morrowind is the only game ive ever had that acually didnt look as good as the screenshots, and they make it run not-so-great to boot.  |

Not only do they not look as good, the screenshots actually fabricate scenes that will never occur.
There is when screenshot where a gondolier is boating you through the canals of Vivec. This will never happen in the game... EVER. It was just rendered to generate excitement.
This sort of practice seems really unscrupulous to me. |

That unscrupulous method is as old in video game marketing as pong.
I remember I bought a copy of "Bad Dudes" for NES. The pictures on the box were taken from the ARCADE version. As disappointed as I was in the graphic difference, I still enjoyed the game.
Boost the saturation in your monitor, and morrowind will look more colorful. They took out the condola ride, and possibly the silt strider ride because of the vid lag, and travel impatience among the testers(my guess, that also explains all those teleportation mod CHEATS).
I dont know why you all act so suprised about this issue though. Let it go.

When they call it screenshot, it should be screenshot and not rendered picture... |

Actually, to be fair, if I'm looking at the same thing you guys are, they don't call them "screen shots", but "game art" or "artwork" or something along those lines. It would be nice if they said something like "from a prototype build" though.
I had the same complaint about Return to Castle Wolfenstein. All the "screen shots" at Gamespot showed these incredibly detailed models, but the ones in the game were simpler. I thought I'd forgotten a setting somewhere. |
