To be fair, portable Skyrim does sound pretty awesome.
... That's... intriguing. Why do you continue buying it?Haven't gotten past the first hour of Skyrim yet (own it on 360, PS3, PC, remastered PS4, etc.)
I'll try to get to hour 2 on Switch

Sweet.
Somehow I think Skyrim on Switch will get released this fall and not slip into 2018, I could be wrong, but we'll see.
You're going to buy it a 5th time even though you've never liked it enough to play for more than an hour?
Ok.
Why would it slip to 2018? Hasn't it been confirmed for Fall/Holiday '17 since it was announced?
It's similar to GTA V which I also haven't gotten past the 2nd hour (own it on 360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC). There's just so many releases/upgrades that it seems like the new game to buy at the time.
Yes, and it's listed for a November release.
I mean, there's no way this will have the full range of improvements from the PS4 version. It simply can't. The Switch is a fraction as powerful as the PS4, and the PS4 version runs at 30 fps, sooo...
And the fact that the PS4 Pro version runs at native (not checkerboard) 4k.Where is that listed? It hasn't been officially dated yet, right?
It's probably exactly the PS4 version with a few slider settings lowered, like draw distance across the spectrum, texture quality, shadow quality, reflection quality, etc... I really doubt Skyrim Remastered pushed the PS4 terribly hard considering the game was originally made to run on a PS3/360.

I can't judge.
If they've got the money, why the hell not?
Ontopic, it's still crazy to see a handheld playing this game so well.
Then again I about plotzed the first time I saw Breath of the Wild running on the thing in person.
Whether you want to credit them or not, this is an insane handheld gen tech advancement from the last. Like jumping from an Xbox to almost XboxOne in a generation.
It's insanely impressive coming from Nintendo.

Man...that footage is looking good. Wasn't planning to get this, but portable Skyrim?...man I'm gonna have to sell something to afford this and everything else coming out.
I guess you missed the part where he said it was 30fps.This video didn't seem to really give much info. I am curious if the game runs at 60fps or lower, as a previously released trailer shows both, so we don't really know what to expect. Have they released this info at all?
OK now I want Fallout 3 and NV.
This looks great.
I was about to get this...until Skyrim PSVR got announced.
Was quite a hard choice picking between portable or VR
I think they just can't (or don't want to) call it the special edition because there might be a few compromises, which would make sense. But definitely a lot closer to the SE than original.Okey I am like 90% sure this is based on the special edition

Compare those 2 videos as the person enters riverrun. You will notice that in the special edition comparison with the original there is some foliage on the right on that house which didn't exist on the original. As the switch video shows the foliage exists in the switch video. So either it is a straight special edition version or it shares some assets at least. I put the videos at the exact moments you need to compare.
What is going on with the person playing in that youtube video?
Can Skyrim be played entirely in third-person?
Yeah.
It still boggles the mind how much handheld tech has improved. I mean if you compare 3DS to Switch, purely as handhelds, the gap is truly staggering.
We've gone from this:
To this:
Sure it may not be impressive compared to Uncharted, but as a generational leap in handhelds... It's fricking insane.
You can't seriously compare 3DS and Switch as if they're 1 generation apart. The 3ds graphics belong in the early 2000s.
But they are seriously 1 generation apart, right?
Not technology wise. They're not.
