hector530 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm pretty sure it won't run on anything except an alienware computer. LOLOLOLOL... alienware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowk Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm quite sure it will only run on a 4-foot-tall PC made out solid gold that was blessed by voodoo priests. :facepalm: Reqs come out this week; be patient, clamoring masses! There aren't enough facepalms for all these threads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikface Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty sure it won't run on anything except an alienware computer. Yes .. Brand name in a case like this is a must .. Bethesda and other studios build their games to only run properly on an alienware :biggrin:You also have to have the paperclip helper guy installed. They tried to fit him in as a companion in Skyrim for product placement, but he ended up being too many polygons. So, we know that one of the specs is to have paperclip helper guy installed.

Deleted1572091User Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I could be wrong, but I never noticed any signs of Oblivion being "poorly optimized" for the PC, in terms of performance. In fact, it seemed slightly better than its 360 counterpart. Now, of course, they didn't seem to put much thought in making the UI more PC friendly, nor did they go to extra lengths to make the PC version look significantly better. But that's entirely different from being a bad port like GTA4, where you need twice the hardware as a console to run it decently, and even then it's still kind of broken. But GTA4 was ported to the PC later, and Rockstar has always been geared more towards consoles. Skyrim is being made (was made?) by a company who started out PC only, and who still sticks with the PC in their releases. There's virtually no chance of Skyrim being a bad port. That said, is it a port, which will have little in the way of extras geared towards the PC? Yes, we've been told that plenty enough already. Will it have more mouse friendly controls/UI? That remains to be seen, but I'd wager it'll be more friendly than Oblivion was. But poorly optimized performance wise? Not trying to be mean, but that's simply an unfounded assumption.

macole Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 If it runs on a 360 then it will cruise on my year old home built PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderiii Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Given the improved graphics what do you guys predict will be the performance drop when moving from oblivion to skyrim on the pc. Personally i believe the game will run poorly on the pc (Gta 4 *cough*) i think Bethesda is more focused on console and the pc version will be terrible optimized like its predecessor. Read the PCGAMER article about Skyrim (search for the scans of it in this forum) and you will have your answer. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuco404 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I bet it'll be less intensive for 2011 than Oblivion was for 2005. Afterall the game is built for the same hardware (Xbox360). Games have been getting more optimized over the last 5 years. Enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaliqen Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 No. Bethesda have an excellent track record in PC gaming. Console hardware is ancient by today's standards, so there's no way it's going to run better on consoles. Unless you're running on a non-gaming laptop or haven't upgraded your computer in years, the game will run fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
