they never got the handle on the PS3 hardware
luckily the PS4 is a more traditional system so i have trust that it will run well. Just wouldnt expect any visual bumps though You should, it's a superb game. Think I reached 20 hours before even finishing the main storyline.
I know it won't please some people but I'd be more than happy with the game running at 1080p and locked at 30fps. Visual upgrades would be nice, but I can manage without them.

Without mods whats the point ?
I have Skyrim on PC so it doesn't really matter to me, but it would be pretty cool if they did this for the people that want to play an upgraded version on console.
People that bought the PS3 version might be a bit wary of this on PS4, though
They should get it for free, as an apology.

God I really hope this is true. Skyrim was my most played game last generation, and probably in my most played ever.
C'mon Bethesda!

1080p and fixed 30fps with the DLC for £50 would be a day one purchase for me on PS4.
Rushed through the story mode on the PS3 version, which wasn't the greatest and would love to play the game properly with better graphics on a better console, the PlayStation 4.

Exactly the PS4 is basically a PC. There should be no issues.they never got the handle on the PS3 hardware
Giving us a great gaming experience? Earning some easy dollar? Pick one.

exactly the same here.
put in hundreds upon hundreds of hours into oblivion and over a thousand in morrowind, but couldn't muster the energy for Skyrim as much as I wanted to.
would rebuy/retry on Xbox one!

I still have not completed this game, I have got about 80 hours in (possibly more), bought Hjerim, crafted my legendary Daedric armour and two handed sword, saved the thieves guild, and the other cult, but from memory I don't think I made it passed Diplomatic Immunity.
I don't think I would double dip on this game.

It's still a good game without mods. But, at the same time, if you've ever played it with mods, there's just not no going back.

For me this game was really meant to be on current gen consoles and not last gen, especially the PS3 version!
A quick and easy port would keep us satisfied until Fallout 4, which will be amazing!
Would also love an oblivion remake, although, it probably doesn't need one as much!

Has that email been verified? Have other people received the same email?
They should release an Elder Scrolls collection. That'd be swell. They'd only take one blu-ray disc

you are a fool if you buy another fallout/elder scrolls on a sony console
A FOOL I SAY!
After playing the pc version for like 50 hours and pretty much despising the game, I don't think I have it in me, but that's irrelevant/ not the point, im still salty about the ps3 version of skyrim, I pretty much got slapped in the face for buying it on that shit.
And its cool if you could slog through 20fps on ps3 and not have any problems and think im overreacting or whatever, but my standards for terrible ports are a bit higher.

I would rather buy Skyrim again on PS4 and play it for another 120+ hours than buy Elder Scrolls Online.

Best beta game I played. Hope that's a real release version.
I bought it on PC and for many times I had to open up console and put some codes to fix the glitchs and broken side quests. I think that's unacceptable for a release version.
I would buy it again if they release a Wii U version, just to play on gamepad, but I know that probably it will never happen.

the could use another studio to do the port
they did use 2k games to help make shivering isles
so this could be for fallout 4
or an announcement about the original fallout games or????
If this leak turns out to be true, it's a little odd that the release seems to be for the regular version of Skyrim, rather than the Legendary Edition, whose page didn't mention PS4/XBone. That implies that if this did come to current gen consoles, then it wouldn't include the DLC. I would imagine most people wouldn't want to double dip on an incomplete, so to speak, version of the game.
I would imagine so, yes. Especially if you're asking for another massive, open-world RPG in the Fallout/Elder Scrolls vein. There's a shit ton of content to create. And a shit ton of issues to work out with 'go anywhere, do anything' mantra of these games.
Shouldn't be any issues on the PS4. Problems with the PS3 were due to its unique architecture being difficult to work with.
Loved Skyrim to a point.
But the problems that plagued it turned me off. (Ps3 version)
If,
it comes out (ported across) i'll look forward to hearing more and checking it out, unless ofcourse if it's around Witcher 3 release. Then Forget it. And if it's after W3, pffft no chance.
So in other words, hurry up if you want my cash an port it or fuck off Bethesda.

Agree. Has the email been verified? Looks like a fake to me.
YES PLEASE!, Bundled with the Best Mods, with the option to turn them on and off. (beth could pay the mod creators to include mods, right ?)
It would make up for the shitty PS3 port alot of us had to play through.
I was thinking about how much id like to boot up skyrim on my PS4 with maxed out PC graphics afew days ago.

LOL if they ask money from people who have the game on PS3, it should be a free upgrade to compensate for the shitty version we got.
Who would decide what the best mods are?
Also Skyrim doesn't really look that much better on pc vanilla (mostly cleaner/sharper), you need texture mods and enb's for actual visual improvements.

They aren't asking for money. They are offering a product you can buy or not buy.

It would not surprise me if this included a free Beta for Elder Scrolls Online.

I have the PC version, no reason to downgrade....
Hate to say it but pretty much this, unless they substantially redo the assets it's gonna be same old ass Skyrim and even at that point you would not have the mods that fix alot of the game's issues.
Add to that that running the game at a decent framerate on pc doesn't require a beastly pc so unless you're console only it would be difficult to recommend this product.

This product should be offered for free for the people who bought said product on a previous console because it was shipped in a near unplayable state.

I've never played an ES games other than morrow wind and I wouldn't count that because I made a character, walked around for a few minutes, brought it back to gamestop. I was also a child who had no patience for these games so that's also why. I'd give this game a shot on PS4.
Idk, most downloaded/highest rated mods (both visual and content mods) up for consideration. Then let beth internally decide which would work best.
I remember a video interview a couple years back, where Todd howard was asked about mod support with beth games on console. And he replied something along the lines of "id love to see that happen". I doubt it was possible with last gen hardware, but its certainly possible now... But this is just wishfull thinking, very unlikely to happen...
If they released mods for one game, people might feel entitled and expect them for every beth game that has a big mod scene... would that effect DLC sales ?. They could get around that by only including mods in Game of the year editions after all dlc has ben released.
edit,
"Skyrim doesn't really look that much better on pc vanilla (mostly cleaner/sharper)"
But it plays a hell of a lot better then the PS3 version.
