Hi-res versions of the Skyrim screens you might have seen in GameInformer are available at GameReactor.eu. Thanks, r3dshift!
More information.

Well, that's the resolution the console versions will be using so it's a given they will have the screenshots at that size.1280x720 is "hi-res"? Maybe in 2003.
Sad, before clicking the comments I could predict what many of you would say.
Looks fantastic to me, to bad it wasn't a small european game company so you could all be happy with it.
Not sure why you wouldnt believe it's a new engine just because they keep the same style. I'm quite sure they're not lying about that and I don't think the creators of their older licensed engine would like that they suddenly claim it's their engine.
I think this is about as far as we get when we're restricted by old console hardware.. Totally acceptable graphics, but it's not like when you saw Morrowind for the first time, or Oblivion for that matter..
Yes they've built some of their own tech and they've kept that for the new in-house developed engine, they've explained that.
And no they can absolutely not claim that Gamebryo is their own in-house developed engine and put a new name on it (Creation Engine). They've switched the core engine and kept some of the tech they've developed, that's all there is to it..
Gamebryo is not one single engine style though, it is more like a technology base from what I understand. Both Morrowind and Oblivion used "Gamebryo" and yet when Oblivion was announced they said it used a "new engine."
My only point is don't expect it to feel like a new technology base. I would bet my cookies it will be the same technology as Morrowind and Oblivion, just updated. When they say "new engine" people imagine the difference of something like switching from Unreal Engine 3 to id Tech 5… it won't be anything like that.
Not so thrilled they still have problems with pop-up, hated that about the Oblivion engine.
Still if you didn't like the art style (though obviously character models have improved quite a bit) or general atmosphere of the previous games then yeah you probably won't like this one either.
