Gears of War really raised the bar when it comes to exploding heads and bodies and I have to say that this exploding head screen shot does not deliver.

  hard to judge the overall effect of something like this from a still frame.

    it's just the look of the splatter really, looks like layers from the spray paint tool in mspaint or something, it doesn't seem like it has any volume that the sprays and splatters in gears do. the chunks are rather nice though :D

  They did raise the bar, but not just visually, I think the audio from gears was a pinnacle as well. The popping / cracking sound effects were just over-the-top-brutal.
  
  Still given that this is bethesda, the fact that they are gibbin off heads, is a good thing to see. From the little that I played of Oblivion, I don't remember seeing anything like this. I don't see anything wrong with this, and in motion, I'm sure it will satisfy.

    Personally I hope you can turn the excessive gore off. A little blood is fine but "assploding head and guts and stuff" comes off as ratther juvenile to me.

      the cartoonish excessiveness of the gore is part of fallout. glad it's still in.

    OMG could you imagine oblivion with some damage modeling like in Gears. Vampires would just cleave apart at a mighty ax stroke, fucking awesome.
