POLL:Oblivion

[Dumac]

I was wondering how many of us geeks at the ANandTech forums are gonna play the sequal to the awesome RPG that is morrowind

I did a search and found no poll like this, so tell me your answers!

 

[pontifex]

i hated morrowind but i might give oblivion a chance.

 

[Atheus]

If I _can_ play it I will. The system requirements are supposed to be insane.

 

[Dumac]

Isn't the minimum requirements like 512 RAM and a 128 MB direct 3d compat video card? That doesn't seem that insane to me.

The recommended video card is X800/6800 series, which is pretty high up there, but not insane. Then again this is all just in my opinion

Its supposed to be a pretty game, and I would rather turn down most of hte graphical options and play it than not play it at all. Bad graphics don't break a game for me (I've been wanting to play daggerfall), but good graphics certainly do add a lot to the game.

I'm really excited to see physics in TES and the new AI system they are using..

 

[SpunkyJones]

I love the Elder Scroll Series and can't wait to play Oblivion

 

[lozina]

I'll probably buy some new hardware when that game is released. Get myself ready for these next generation games!

 

[Schadenfroh]

Considering Morrowind is my favorite game of all time...

I am going with

HELL YES

 

[SynthDude2001]

Never been into RPG's, so probably not.

 

[DeathReborn]

Yes but if it is StarForce protected i'll get it for the Xbox360 instead. I don't want that crap infesting my PC. I'd love to get it on the PC, it may indeed force me (willingly) to upgrade to Dual Core & X1900 Crossfire or 7900GTX SLI, depending on performance of course.

I will definately play it, although I will wait until a build a new computer first. It would not be worth ruining the experience on my old machine.

 

[Dethfrumbelo]

I doubt it'll be playable on my current system A64@2.6/6800GT@420, so I may have to wait until next fall. I remember stumbling around in Morrowind at migraine-inducing framerates, in spite of comfortably passing their "minimum" requirements.

 

[LanceM]

Absolutely. Xbox 360 + sofa + flat panel.

If the mods are good enough, I'll buy it for PC much later in the year (after all the mods have fleshed out). Also will give me time to upgrade the PC (currently A64 3500+, X800XL, 1 gig; I'd like to bump it all up for Oblivion).

I hated Morrowind and probably wont give Oblivion a chance but theres a possibility.

Just didnt fit me and Im not looking for a PC upgrade for a good few months.

I live to play RPG's,best type of games period,so you know my answer .

 

[theMan]

ill try it. but im still waiting for a game that will beat doom2.

 

[Super56K]

I'll definately be playing it. Should have a good main storyline to follow, and if I get bored it will become medieval GTA until I get back on track like it was in Morrowind.

I'm sure it'll be playable..considering that is above or close to their recommended specs. Not minimum, recommended.

 

[mundane]

When I finally get my upgrades, I'll get it.

 

[Noema]

Yes, provided I get a new video card by then.

 

[remagavon]

Yes, on the 360.

It's going to be awesome on a HDTV w/5.1!

I'm limited to a bedroom for all of my stuff at the moment so I've got a 24" CRT and a stereo, but it'll be awesome nonetheless. Not having to spend $2500 to run the game on that crt is nice.

I can't wait until I have the space for a nice HT setup. I'm surprised so say that I'm pleased with my decision to switch from PC gaming to consoles, after being a dedicated PC gamer for about 7 years or so.

 

[Josh7289]

Haha. I voted for the least popular result.

Really, though, I will not play the game, as I really don't like the whole idea of a first-person RPG...

There is a third person mode....
