that 5670 will be more than enough. i'm getting the 360 version and that's not even close to a 5670, i'll still be happy. if you have the cash, upgrade, otherwise, stick with the 5670. can't believe it's been like six years almost since Oblivion!

yup 6 years and I never uninstalled it! I keep playing it once in a while, the immersion is unmatched :yes:

I seen some gameplay of this on destructoid podcast and almost shat myself. This game looks like it is going to be badass, and steal many hours of my life. . . Although, to be fair, I wasn't using them for anything else interesting anyway. ;)

I have never been so excited about a game before, it's a bit mad.

Oblivion has been part of my life for the best part of 5 years, and that will be coming to an end very soon. Cannot wait for Skyrim. I paid in full for the pre-order like a month ago. xD

Bethesda will release a statement and apologize and say it is actually 60GB!

The HDD requirement is quite low actually.

Finally pre-ordered it yesterday, i was tempted with the collectors edition but decided against it at the end of the day i would be paying £130 for a plastic dragon. Not worth it at all.

I was tempted by the collectors edition too, simply because I know I'd play the game to absolute death for years to come, and I'd want to get a special edition of some kind. But what would I do with that dragon? *laughs*

I'll be grabbing the 360 version first, as most of my friends will be getting it on there. Later on, when i've run out of things to do, i'll pick up the PC version for the modding ability. It's been a long time since i've looked forward to a game this much. I'm so torn on what type of character to make, i'm debating between sword and spell combo, an archer, and a pure mage.

I doubt Bethesda will release something extra for the PC version when they haven't in the past. Either they will cut out the high res textures or they have devised a genious compression software.

6 gigs: New engine & we’re much better at compression (art/voice/data). It’s huge yet more optimized than we’ve had before. And faster.

    • VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
