i've never really had a super capable PC, and don't really have the kind of money to do so alongside console gaming, so this excites me.
i had Skyrim on PS3 and me and my wife sunk a lot of hours into it, but eventually the crashing and bugs were just too much. at one point my wife couldn't continue any of the quests she had, because as soon as her character touched water the game crashed. (doesn't matter where the water was, and none of the "fixes" we found online worked, so she had to quit)
my only concerns are performance. pretty graphics are nice, but i'd really like it to at least run at a rock solid 30fps. now that the PS4 has plenty more memory than the PS3, this will hopefully alleviate a lot of the problems.

People expecting a big overhaul or changes to the combat are going to be disappointed imo, hope I am wrong but it's bethesda. Skyrim was janky as shit at release, by 2016 standards it's even worse.

I'll wait a while to see how this runs and then I might get it. Might is the key word here. I still haven't played The Witcher 3, let alone it's expansions so if I'm going to play a fantasy rpg, I should probably play that, right?

I don't know why people are expecting big upgrades. It'll be Skyrim, probably with all the DLC, it'll look a bit worse than Fallout 3 currently does, it'll be a shaky 30FPS at best, and it'll probably still have that glitch where the dragons fly around backwards. $60.

Hmmm might have to actually play this. I just didn't like the gameplay, but I think I can ignore it now, maybe...

I'm waiting till E3 now to see whether they do. Itching to pull the trigger on Skyrim on PC. Could never get into it on 360 but I'm in a GoT buzz atm and something like Skyrim would be nice.

Fuck yes.
One of my most favorite games- I'll happily play this all over again.

That would be a remake then...
I guess this is basically the game with all dlc and bug fixed. Mod support would be great.

People forget that there was never a truly competent PS3 version, it was actual garbage that continually fucked the game as the save file got larger. For many Playstation-only players this could be a chance to finally enjoy a competent Skyrim, providing it's a good remaster.
Not saying I'm on board with it as I'm not much of a Bethesda RPG fan, but that alone is certainly worth it existing.

Eh, I don't think the NEO will add anything to Skyrim that the PS4 couldn't add already. The game is like 5 years old. I'm looking for developer improvements, new textures, improved AI and improved gameplay, maybe added quests or a preview of the next elder scrolls systems.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!!

Just as useless as that Valkyria Chronicles Remaster for the PS4.
It will sell a ton though.

I will bet against a lazy upgrade. Way too much time has passed and they know fans have been clamoring for more Skyrim.

Would be interesting if they add PSVR support or something. I'm interested in what they have to announce, anyway.

Worth $60 USD, honestly. Not offensive at all.

I couldn't get into it the first time round. Partly related to the PS3's performance issues I'm sure. I look forward to giving it another shot.

You will get TES 6. But you were never getting it until about 2018 at the very earliest (and I expect that's too early) anyway.

Can't really think of anything that could make me want to buy this as a owner of the Skyrim PC-version.

Ah was kind of hoping for a "it's for purchase right now."
Really really hoping for graphical improvements and gameplay.

I don' get it either it will be exactly skyrim as it was with higher res, framerate and minor tweaks. Like every other remaster.

But to be honest that is pretty terrible. I mean Fallout 4 has its moments but overall it just looks dated as hell. Surely they can't come with those kind of graphics or slightly improved in 2018 or later? I mean how much more juice can you get out of this engine?
Interested, but skeptic.
Bethesda have proven time and again that their technical incompetence is above and beyond that of most other developers. Having experienced it first-hand by being burned with the PS3 version of Skyrim, I really don't want to give them more money for this game.
If they really knock it out of the park (by their standards) and give an experience rivalling just the vanilla PC version, I'll pick it up - maybe after a price drop.
Knowing Bethesda though, it'll barely be able to hold 30FPS @ 1080p and probably introduce several new bugs over older versions.

Yeah I guess we shouldn't expect Fallout 4 character models for the remaster of Skyrim, because if that's the case it would mean they have redone Skyrim completely graphically and that's not gonna happen. The news last year about them porting Skyrim to Xbox One should say enough.
I found Skyrim beautiful on the 360, so anything else is gravy.

But will it still have my favourite glitch, the one where dragons appear as a textureless mass of blocks?

Gonna wait for GAF feedback and DF's to see if it's a shit show again on Sony"s console.
If it's Bethesda good then I'll buy it

How is it useless when the game did not run well on the PS3?

Wonder if it will have a NEO mode. 60 FPS and smooth and I am in.

Nov 23rd? Ahh... Should've been Nov 11th. It would've been exactly 5 years after the initial release.

What? When I first saw Skyrim I found it breathtaking. It's a beatiful game. The graphics engine may not be the hottest thing now, but the art design in Skyrim is incredible. It's awesome to climb up a mountain when the sun is setting and look to the horizon while there is a snowstorm going on around you.
Yeah, after the pile of shit that was Fallout 4 i'm not sure why I would even hold out hope.
Before Skyrim got announced I was fucking screaming at the heavens for Bethesda to finally use a new engine for a new TES and not just bolted on stuff with a Gamebryo core. But they apparently don't give a shit as their games print money anyway.
You'll probably be able to get Skyrim plus all DLC for super cheap during the Steam sale in a couple of weeks. Even if it gets a graphical remake it's unlike it will look as good as a modded PC version.

Bethesda remasters SUCK, so I'm not expecting anything out of it. It will probably be like Dishonored, with it's 30fps cap and same-y last gen "no effort" look.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
I think Bethesda will probably handle themselves this remaster.
