Of course! But the Console peasants get their feelings hurt every time we mention it.....

:/

 

[Lucreto]

I might get it but I need more information on how it will run on PS4 before making a decision.

 

[FirmBizBws]

If you call horrible combat, a total of 4 voice actors in the whole game, laughable AI, an 'epic' story let down by terrible acting and even worse cut scenes the best ever sure.

It was enjoyable enough for its time sure, but it's not a great game by any stretch.

You opinion certainly isn't shared by many, at all.

 

[kvn]

Unfortunately.

 

[Psychoward]

Of course! But the Console peasants get their feelings hurt every time we mention it.....

So this is another attempt to introduce mods to console which at some point they will try charging for again.... Elder Scrolls 6 perhaps.

Cynical or realistic? Stay tuned!

Lol, I don't think anyone is arguing that Skyrim still looks prettiest modded on PC.


Either way I was naive for expecting it to be like Fallout 4 and not just this, disappointed in how it looks graphically -not enough for me to re-buy it personally.

 

[Psychoward]

You're right

This piss filter

Looks way better than

That Cohesive AAA dev look is doing wonders

Is that first one an actual screen from the "remaster"? Ugh

 

[Pantaghana]

Sadly true.

Don't get me wrong, I like Skyrim because of its modding potential and community made content, but the base game is functional and thoroughly unimpressive as an RPG.

Hmmmmm

 

[texhnolyze]

Yes, it is. But it's on a different time of day compared to the bottom picture. It's also a heavily compressed facebook pic.

 

[Psychoward]

Yeah I guess it's the sunlight on a cloudy day or something but still. Good for those who never played the origina I guess. I know I'm repeating myself here but I really expected more than just god rays and dynamic DOF.

279 Dollars (au) for a Remastered Skyrim? Fuck off Bethesda

gotta make that scrilla

 

[Linconan]

Its turning into a joke now with special edition. I'm all for remastered versions, but not like this. The Witcher 3 edition was cheaper and had tons of quality made stuff included etc, and all you get with Skyrim Remastered is a f'ing wishing well. Pfffft. smh.

 

[Spiritwalker]

I'll buy it on day one, even though I have a powerful gaming PC.

 

[White Wolf]

Could be a wide variety of things and most likely due to sunrise. The other footage from the Special Edition didn't have that orange filter. Or do you a think a sunrise looks like the latter picture?

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

I really liked the comparison parts in that short footage. I wonder what else have been improved. Will creatures and people look better too? Any gameplay improvements? I assume all DLC?

 

[GribbleGrunger]

I've booked an appointment with the doctor. I think I may have cataracts.

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Hoping that improvements from Fallout 4 will make it in here.

 

[Stereogatari]

October 28? Worst possible release date for this if you play a lot of AAA games.

Games still exist after the release date. And in cheap form!

 

[Yangshouwen]

I have never played Skyrim, is it a similar game to The Witcher? The reason i ask is because i couldn't get into the Latter - I think it was the combat system more than anything

 

[Rellik]

It's nothing like Witcher.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

Ah man....if they only had said "and it's out right now." That would have fucking completed it. Long wait!

Hoping it's not just graphical upgrades but also for things like melee combat and third person camera. I for one love to use third person in Fallout 4, so would be nice if they improve it for this. But i kinda doubt that.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Of course! But the Console peasants get their feelings hurt every time we mention it.....

Take that mentality back to Reddit. We don't need that shit on GAF.

 

[Calabi]

I never finished it - got burnt out. So I'm down.

Yeah, I'm ready to get burnt out again after playing 300 hours and only 3 quests done of the main quest.

 

[Yangshouwen]

It's nothing like Witcher.

What other game would you compare it to? (I never played Oblivion either)

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

They went pretty far with the graphics tweaks. I think it looks more whimsical or romantic. That's a nice surprise.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

What other game would you compare it to? (I never played Oblivion either)

It pretty much Fallout but in a fantasy setting.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Honestly, I don't think it really looks that great, especially compared to modded Skyrim.

I can't complain with free though. Maybe I'll check it out as long as my mods aren't all completely broken.

 

[texhnolyze]

Witcher 3 combat is way better than Skyrim, so there's that.

 

[White Wolf]

If it was the combat, then you'll enjoy Skyrim even less. But it's similar in the sense that it's a huge medieval open world game with lots to do, so there's that.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

I actually preferred the combat in Skyrim over The Witcher. Whilst there is a lot of complexity and skill involved in the Witcher, the combat doesn't feel as direct as Skyrim and it feels more like an Souls game. This isn't a criticism btw, I can really see the appeal of it, it just doesn't feel as rewarding to me personally. I had a similar issue to games like Dragon Age.

 

[entremet]

Lol. I bought the cheap GOTY edition for 360 recently.

Oh well.

 

[Yarbskoo]

Here you go Bethesda, I fixed some of your color balance issues. No need to thank me, just focus on improving those distant objects and reflections.

Do you think a sunrise looks like the top picture? I must still be in bed when the whole world turns piss yellow.

[kakashi08]

When is the release date? Amazon says to pre order and release on December 29th 2017?
First post says October 28th :/

 

[pixelpatch]

I just wee'd a little when it was announced, so looking forward to the PS4 version... goodbye the marriage for a few months

 

[PulseONE]

Of course! But the Console peasants get their feelings hurt every time we mention it.....

Ah and this starts, how fun.

 

[d9b]

It's real, it's happening. That's my gaming sorted for this whole winter. Never been so happy over a re-release.

Same here!

 

[artsi]

I watched the trailer and it seems they just made the game more yellow and blurry?

People sure like their myopia simulators.

 

[_Legacy_]

Mods are a great addition, I doubt I'll be playing Skyrim again during a busy Q4 though. Might pick it up in next year.

 

[the_milkybar_kid]

Skyrim was my first Elder Scrolls game and I loved it. Absolutely loved it, put in around 130 hours. But trying to start a new game on it post Witcher 3- damn near impossible to appreciate it. The way that game did storytelling in a fantasy world- it's going to take something really special to improve upon.

 

[hlhbk]

It's just not the same, having this huge rather loud PC standing next to the TV. It's not ideal. I just want to play this game either rather uncomfortably on PC or comfortably on PS4 on my couch.

If your pc is loud you got a cooling problem. You're right it's not the same it's better playing it on pc on your tv.

Witcher 3 is phenomenal, but it's a different experience than Elder Scrolls. TES will never improve upon the kind of storytelling that the Witcher excels at, and that's a good thing.

 

[xealo]

Agreed. If a desktop PC is louder than your average game console, investing in a third party cooler would be a good idea.

 

[Heavy Iron Industries]

Not buying until i know the performance is vastly improved. Skyrim was almost unplayable on my PS3.

 

[-duskdoll-]

If you own Skyrim and all its add-ons or own Legendary Edition on Steam, you'll get a free upgrade to Skyrim Special Edition on Oct 28.

The Elder Scrolls games have never been known for their "great combat" so the chances are you wont be liking it much either.

This looks like a messy attempt to modernize an old game by placing too much colorful foliage because who ever made the mod assets has no sense of restraint and couldn't bear to place trees logically or have the flower colors fit the locale. It's like after 10 hours making a tree asset they couldn't handle just putting one or two new placements. They couldn't put their new moss asset in just one or two new places. They crowded the street.

And that's why mod culture is less appealing to me than having a more typical looking remaster, though I'm thankful this new remaster does add some effects and replace a lot of textures.

 

[Haganeren]

I don't understand why so many people are that happy. It's a game released quite recently and i would assume everyone was waiting for the sixth episode and would be disappointed by that announce instead.

..... Am i wrong ?
