This is what it looked like to me in 2011

Don't give bethesda any ideas. They might be tempted to remake skyrim like this and sell it to us yet again.

[erinzaharris]

everytime an npc talks they look like they gotta pee so badly

[vasyavasilich]

Maybe its me, but in some cases game looks better than AI to me
Upd: Thanks for the likes. It goes to show that still even today Skyrim holds up pretty well, thanks to all the effort the game designers, artists put into the game

I can’t wait for the AI Graphics overhaul mod 😂

[MTWhierarch]

AI loves Lydia so much that he even turned Aela the Huntress into her

[MCPunk]

Jarl Ballin looks tame in AI.... remember that he's Lord of the Rings and Lord of the Reefer. He's not a man, but neither is he a boy. He was once a little girl in France.

How the future of gaming graphics were imagined in the 90s

[clayhamilton]

Makes me wonder if in the future more powerful AI will be used to enhance game graphics to look indistinguishable from reality.

Bro, every clip featuring NPCs looked like a Phillips CDI game. 😂

The shot of white run field near the broken tower looked pretty good though.

Shows how A) jenky the movements are in the original and B) with AI, you can make a 21st Century game look like a 90s CD-Rom adventure.

0:48 Why is the Nord tanned like he's just spent a month on holiday in the Caribbean?

[Nazareeni]

It's phenomenal, and that is a scary thing. The only thing that gives it away is that the skin complexions are too smooth. It also highlights that the movements of creatures and characters are still quite a ways behind in videogames.

1:05 What is Adam Driver doin' in Skyrim?!

[DreadArkive]

Missed opportunity for realistic Skyrim Space Program.

[AmieEss]

I wonder what it looked like on monsters and dragons. Probably not great considering he didn't show it.

[joaocardoletto]

Natural environments sometimes look really good.

For expressive details though, it’s still uncanny. Currently technology irons out important symbolic details like hand poses or how relaxedly or confidently a character is posed. Body language simply disappears.

Even on characters stiff as Skyrim’s, It’s visible how many acting choices get lost.

That semiotic depletion also happens on the aesthetic in general. Even if every detail can be edited, one person alone with a computer cannot deal with all the aesthetic choices in shapes, textures, movement, light, style, acting, composition. There are too many decisions to be made and every detail has a meaning, every visual aspect it impacts on the mood.

I wonder if in the future the technology will allow a team of artists to work granularly on the different aspects of the graphics enhancement.

[theunknown]

The people look really good, the environment and the other stuff could use more detailing and maybe some snow for the atmosphere?

Don't let the Anti-AI people deter you, you are doing great work

[sickofitall]

Also please do this with Morrowind and Oblivion, tbh Oblivion needs this more !

1:42, This reminds me of the games you would see in the mid '90s when the digital craze took over. You'd often have digital characters superimposed over a pre-rendered background.
