I wonder... why they even bother? PS4 version won't look nowhere near as good as fully modded PC version (not to mention an option to use ENB which drastically changes the look of the game).

Because over 20 million people bought this game originally and it was well received. It's not difficult to work out why they would want to remaster such a hit for newer consoles that are selling faster than the previous consoles from MS and Sony. Especially now that they have their mod system in place.

 

[ScaryShark]

I'm in as long as it actually performs well on PS4.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Based on Fallout 4, I can't see anything miraculous coming from this, except maybe console mods, which would be nice for those who only ever played it in its vanilla state on consoles.

You do get that not everyone has/wants a gaming PC, correct?

 

[Ushay]

Morrowind Remake. Or bust. Come on Bethesda!

 

[Freeman76]

40 quid? Fuck off.

 

[jonno394]

Meh. It's time for TES VI.

nah, the time for TES VI is like 2018

 

[True Fire]

If this is running on the latest version of the Creation Engine all of the mods that were originally made may have to be recreated or ported.

Bethesda wants that to happen. They want modders to ditch Nexus for Bethesda.net, and what better way to do that than to force their hand?

 

[Cyborg]

Never played Skyrim, if the performance is good I will buy it.

 

[shandy706]

Mods still couldn't fix the horrible melee though

There are combat mods

 

[Zombie James]

Still very, very lukewarm on the idea. Good if it's below full price, though.

Not everyone has a gaming PC? Maybe? I know it sounds nuts, but that might be it.

 

[LelouchZero]

Even with mods Skyrim looks bland by today's standards.

At least PS4 save files already start out huge, right?

Skyrim looks like a current gen with some of the mods, have you seen what they've done to the lighting, water, textures and the grass? It's incredible!

Sometimes I wonder if shit like this is serious.

 

[ramparter]

I assume so. Along with Fallout 4, it's a good way to test the system leading up to TES 6.

And eventually have paid mods.

 

[Bishop89]

Why bother making a truckload of money? Who knows. It's almost like they're a company that likes profits.

 

[cyberheater]

Day one

 

[On Demand]

Better be cross saves. I would like to continue my 500+ hour adventure.

Good thing i never bought any DLC either.

 

[Nokterian]

Not buying it anyway on console since mods made the game different and better in that regard on PC waiting for Skywind mod to appear. And seeing how Fallout 4 even the expansions being a mess on both consoles i do not expect anything better with this.

 

[inki]

If this really is happening hope they made some big improvements gameplay wise and graphically, not just a resolution bump and PC textures.

It will be required to have a NEO version on disk. So it better!

I'm down day 1. Any real upgrade is worth it to me.. Mod support baked in PLEASE!!

 

[Elysium-777]

Day 1 for the Empire.

I find November to be a bit far away though, I assumed it would have been earlier.

 

[KinofChaos]

There's surely no way they're charging full price? If they are then it HAS to have mods.

It is probably a placeholder anyway.. At £30 it might do well for them.

Of course they are, you expect it to be less then 60? lol

 

[Rap2thaMoon]

I was thinking it would be a fifth anniversary edition like they did for oblivion. None the less, get hype! Im gonna get to play skyrim again! (Dont have a gaming pc nor a last gen console anymore)

Ye, can't we have oblivion instead?

 

[Dmented]

I'd consider buying it for PC if they remove that stupid shit that ties 60hz to the physics. If you're over 60hz the physics will be wonky as fuck.

 

[Chase17]

Tempting. Never bought any of the DLC

 

[LordBaztion]

Bad timing, there are plenty to play this holiday.

 

[DeadOnions]

I'll get it as I never played the dlc so there'd be a decent amount of new content for me.

 

[Bishop89]

Bad timing, there are plenty to play this holiday.

there is plenty to play EVERY holiday

 

[The Jackdog]

I wonder... why they even bother? PS4 version won't look nowhere near as good as fully modded PC version (not to mention an option to use ENB which drastically changes the look of the game).

because people who think like this are in the minority.

skyrim sold a ton on consoles of people who have no pc or interest in pc

Bad timing, there are plenty to play this holiday.

you mean like....every holiday?

 

[KinofChaos]

I wonder... why they even bother? PS4 version won't look nowhere near as good as fully modded PC version (not to mention an option to use ENB which drastically changes the look of the game).

Is this a serious post? A lot of people could care less about PC, and This well sell, that's why they bother. It's not hard to understand.

 

[Mister Wolf]

If its not 60 frames then its worthless.

 

[King E]

C'mon man, I've already spent at least 1000 hours into Skyrim. I want TES 6. Not more ESO, definitely not a remaster. :/

 

[giancarlo123x]

If its not 60 frames then its worthless.

We should probably pray for a solid 30fps first.

 

[jesu]

I wonder... why they even bother? PS4 version won't look nowhere near as good as fully modded PC version (not to mention an option to use ENB which drastically changes the look of the game).

I would hazard a guess it might appeal to console owners that don't have a PC that could run a fully modded version.
Just a guess though.

 

[NowhereFaded]

This game is gonna be huge, sales wise. Gonna sell like cray-cray. Day zero for me.

 

[Ricitor]

Would have preferred an Oblivion Remaster honestly, but I'm sure I am in the minority on that one. Have a very bad taste in my mouth with regards to Skyrim due to the atrocious PS3 version. If the upgrade seems good I might just give it another go.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Day 1 for the Empire.

I find November to be a bit far away though, I assumed it would have been earlier.

You filthy imperial.

And yeah, I figured a skyrim HD would have been a launch title for this gen. I guess if it's taken this long and they're announcing it so far ahead of time, they must have some impressive tech to show off, right?

...right?

 

[Cob32]

Of course they are, you expect it to be less then 60? lol

They might do Bungies pricing structure i.e. £49.99=$49.99

/s

 

[takriel]

nah, the time for TES VI is like 2018

oh you sweet summer child. TES VI is 2020 at the earliest.

 

[BrettHeazy]

Does anyone else feel like this doesn't need to happen?

 

[Subpar Scrub]

If its not 60 frames then its worthless.

Pretty sure most elder scrolls games don't even hit 30 consistently.

"Why is this game 30fps? We're wasting 10-12 fps that could be used for more NPCs or effects!" - elder scrolls director.

 

[ajb1888]

I'm dancing with excitement!! Do the Skyrim shuffle haha!

 

[E92 M3]

Was hoping it would come out earlier, but Day fucking 1.

 

[takriel]

"Why is this game 30fps? We're wasting 10-12 fps that could be used for more NPCs or effects!" - elder scrolls director.

It IS worthless though if not 60 fps. I really hope they can deliver on that front.

 

[Liamc723]

Does anyone else feel like this doesn't need to happen?

Nope.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Does anyone else feel like this doesn't need to happen?

No game HAS to happen. Not many things in life MUST occur, so you're correct in that regard.

But should it happen? Well yes. Yes it should.

 

[Ricker]

Day 5 years ago but I guess if it didnt delay any of the new stuff they are doing,it's ok and its great for those who never played or finished it,but personally, I have no interest in replaying a 100 hour game again just for better graphics...

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Skyrim is one of my top 10 favorite games. That said, I think its time to move on. Like a new engine all together.

 

[sappyday]

If it was New Vegas I would bite. Graphics/performance were Skyrim's least of its problems.

 

[Notor!ousG]

Day 1.

Day 1 and we still have no info whatsoever about this.
Weird.
