Support NeoGAF

[shinobi602]

We’re excited to announce that mod support is coming to PlayStation 4 for both Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4. Additionally, we’ll also be supporting the new PlayStation 4 Pro with both titles.

Skyrim will have these features when it launches on October 28. The new power of the PlayStation 4 Pro has allowed us to make Skyrim render in native 4k, and it looks better than ever. Here are some screens to show you just how great it looks.

Mod support will come to Skyrim first. We and Sony have worked hard to make this possible. Mods on PlayStation 4 will allow you to modify and create your own content by using our Creation Kit available here. You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods, but you will be able to use any assets that come with the game, as most mods do. By creating a Bethesda.net account, you’ll be able to browse and try mods right from within the game. We are excited finally to get modding to our PlayStation fans who have supported us for so long. Modding has been an important part of our games for over 10 years, and we hope to do even more in the coming year for all our players, regardless of platform.

After the work is complete on Skyrim, we’ll be updating Fallout 4 for both mods and PS4 Pro. We expect Fallout 4 to take advantage of the PS4 Pro in 4k along with enhanced lighting and graphics features.

Thanks again for all your support. We can’t wait to hear about your new adventures.

Wait, I thought they said ps4 mod support for Fallout was out?

While I am happy mods are coming to Fallout 4 for PS4. Too late for me. October has begun, the onslaught of games commences.

 

[10k]

A compromise was made. Good stuff.

 

[5taquitos]

based

Edit: Yo, native 4k

 

[Finaj]

I wonder what changed....

 

[Hollycat]

Yaaaaay

 

[gossi]

Wait, I thought they said ps4 mod support for Fallout was out?

Sony caved. Mods and 4K coming for both games.

 

[Ghazi]

Wait, I thought they said ps4 mod support for Fallout was out?

I imagine Sony worked with them after people were upset about it, that or Bethesda found a solution to whatever was the issue.

 

[DBT85]

Wait, I thought they said ps4 mod support for Fallout was out?

I thought they actually said that Sony didn't want them to do it the way they wanted to do it, so they were still talking about it.

 

[Cmerrill]

Native 4k! Fucking sweet. Mods are okay.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Seems like the Fallout made Sony reaching for the Sky's rims.

 

[plasmawave]

Either Sony said fine or Bethesda had to follow Sony's guideline...

Sony probably caved in.

 

[BY2K]

What's the catch?

 

[nortonff]

Well, better late than never.

 

[SunBroDave]

Bethesda forced Sony's hand.

 

[bishoptl]

Yay!

Seems like the Fallout made Sony reaching for the Sky's rims.

Booooooo

 

[Jarod McChicken]

Native 4K

 

[Zalman]

Fully expected them to do a 180 on that.

 

[Leafhopper]

What's the catch?

PS+ MSRP for 12 months now $69.99 USD.

 

[5taquitos]

Bethesda forced Sony's hand.

Why immediately try to push a narrative? Can't we just be happy with good news?

 

[Karak]

Thank god

 

[InsaneTiger]

Holy shit, those screenshots

*looks up 4K TV*

 

[Zombie James]

Alt title: Bethesda hires QA department.

About time.

 

[FelipeMGM]

So Bethesda public crying worked?

Good

 

[JP]

Damn, that looks better in 4K.

EDIT:
I am hoping that means super sampling for people like me then?

 

[Ensirius]

Sony caved. Mods and 4K coming for both games.

I imagine Sony worked with them after people were upset about it, that or Bethesda found a solution to whatever was the issue.

I thought they actually said that Sony didn't want them to do it the way they wanted to do it, so they were still talking about it.

Makes sense. Thanks!

 

[Stilton Disco]

Sanity returns!

Now where's that EA Access now it's been long enough to prove its not the devils work Sony?

 

[Curufinwe]

Arrogant Sony is front.

 

[Leafhopper]

Alt title: Bethesda hires QA department.

About time.

*Not for their actual games.

 

[Prompto]

Damn those screenshots are nice.

 

[SheHateMe]

Someone caved. Not sure who, but someone did.

My bet is with Bethesda. (You overhear a lot of information during lunch hour here in Rockville, MD.)

 

[CONCH0BAR]

No custom assets allowed, unfortunately. Is it the same way on the XB1?

 

[diaspora]

Native 4K

I mean, it's a 5 year old PS3 game.

 

[InsaneTiger]

Bethesda forced Sony's hand.

What? Maybe they just worked together or perhaps, to push a counter narrative, Bethesda was so desperate, Sony forced Bethesda to comply to them.

 

[F0rneus]

Aww yiss. My PSN preorder justified.

 

[Massa]

Sony caved. Mods and 4K coming for both games.

Actually it looks like they didn't:

"You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods,"

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Either Sony said fine or Bethesda had to follow Sony's guideline...

Sony probably caved in.

Sounds like a it of both. Clearly the PC/custom modded assets were a point of contention.

 

[LegendofLex]

And I'm back in.

Good work on those negotiations, Sony/Bethesda.

 

[chrisPjelly]

The ball was picked up, and then it was dunked. Thank you Sony. I wonder who ended up making compromises tho

 

[GeoramA]

Cool. Those screens are goreous too.

 

[Mithos]

What's the catch?

You will not be able to upload external assets with your PlayStation 4 mods, but you will be able to use any assets that come with the game, as most mods do.

That's the catch.

 

[mossypne]

Look's like i'll be picking Skyrim up then.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Nice.

 

[etta]

What does the custom assets thing mean?
Like you can't get an M1911 handgun because it's not built with Bethesda assets?

 

[Shift Breaker]

Bethesda evidently didn't want to get beaten by Farming Simulator.

 

[Grimsen]

Can you use external assets for mods on Xbox one?

EDIT: This is great news!

 

[F0rneus]

Wait if there's no external assets...then it's completely useless to have mods. Wow. That's what Sony got stuck on? The entire point of modding?

 

[Megawarrior]

Oh so Sony caved I guess. Let me go preorder on amazon real quick.

I mean, it's a 5 year old PS3 game.

I'd be mad if it was anything less.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Wow, I'm really surprised. Guess I have to get that Skyrim remaster now.
