If, IF the Switch version is running at 60 fps docked, and it will not be too much of a graphical downgrade, that would be HUGE.

I think PSVR version will be 60FPS.
Switch (Nintendo) players are probably more used to 60FPS games and PS4 players are more pleased with eyecandy. So it would make sense for developers to prefer 60FPS in a Switch game and lower framerate but more graphical bells & whistles in a PS4 game.

Lego city undercover sounds right up that alley if you've not got it yet.

That would be huge. But I'm expecting 900p and 30fps docked with 720p in handheld form.

The portability of the switch and the lyrics of the song.

The VR trailer for Skyrim has me much more interested in the motion controls.
It would be pretty foolish of them to go through the trouble of creating the animations and systems necessary to support the 1:1 motion of the PSMove and not translate that to the Switch motion control experience.
1:1 motion control makes this a much better proposition and gives me a reason to play in docked mode.

How is joycon going to be able to mimick 1:1 motion control? Its not possible.
The VR version is for PSVR for now and that doesn't use the 1:1 motion controls either. Joycons should be as good as move for this.

Guess my terminology is off. I just meant Skyward Sword level accuracy.

I think this looks great. Will buy.

The more I think about it, the more the "Zelda" focus in the trailer is starting to make sense to me.
Think about it: One target audience segment - those who want to play Skyrim on the go - have already played the game, they already know it.
But that target audience is most likely too niche to really make Skyrim on Switch a success. So how do they discover new audiences?
Well by creating a link (ho ho!) to Breath of the Wild which just released to great critically acclaimed game. If this manages to somehow convince all the millions of Switch owners that bought Breath of the Wild to even consider buying Skyrim, this could be a great strategy actually.

Upping due to IGN having the first preview (plus video of Skyrim played on the Switch screen) from ComicCon.

Can't watch the video now, is there a written preview too? Can't find it on their site for some reason.

I don't look back on Skyrim as fondly as some other games from that period but the idea of having a portable version of the game is appealing to me.
Yes, I own a GPD Win and know it's capable of playing Skyrim.
Some points from the new trailer:
- Game looks good they say, performance was smooth (but they didn't try stacking 100 wheels of cheese, so not a very useful comment sadly).
- Motion controls work. They're pretty basic, but do feel accurate.
- Don't use the DNV toilets.
That's all they say, nothing too interesting. There is some off-screen footage, and it looks like Skyrim (can't say anything beyond that as it's off-screen and there's not too much footage either).
hu it looks really good.

Okay I'm buying this now. I just can't resist the idea of playing portable Skyrim.
That looks pretty decent. Does this mean that we'll get more previews in the next days?
You really can't tell. It's off screen, short and mostly stone building environments.

So it's Skyrim+DLC with optional motion controls, on a portable device?
Yes please.
One question just came to my mind. Will Nintendo make Bethesda disable the beheading animation with the Master Sword?
Yes please.

Why would they do that? It's not like Skyrim is suddenly not a mature rated game because of the Master Sword appearing. The Zelda fans that play this are (supposedly) the adult fanbase, so I don't see a good reason.

Guess I may actually finish Skyrim with it being on a portable now. Seems like they took their time to deliver a solid port. This holiday is going to be packed with games for me.
Wouldn't we know this from the trailer this thread is about? (Haven't followed this thread, just reading the recent update)
It's always better to have confirmation from hands-on than trailers. But yeah, you can see SE enhancements in the trailer.

I get that. But it's Nintendo, lol.

All I really wish for is a solid 30 fps at the native 720, while portable.
The trailer the thread is based on is SE Skyrim without a shadow of a doubt. The next question is if that footage is bullshot-type embellishment using a different version is not ruled out fully, though I wonder if they will maintain it for two trailers in a row.
Considering what Bowser's arms and legs were doing in Bayonetta 1 and 2, I doubt anything's getting censored for Skyrim.
Wind Waker link the most cute and charming dude ever puts the master sword in Ganondorfs skull without a single fuck given.
Twilight Princess Link also impales Ganondorf.
And maybe some others i forgot.
Is there 60 fps footage? I remember some 30 fps footage with frame pacing issues, where 3 duplicaten frames were followed by 2 unique frames in a row when viewing the trailer at 60 fps youtube frame rate. Were there actual bits running at full 60 fps?

But a bloody beheading is a little different from a sword going into a head, no blood.
I'm not trying to say it shouldn't be there, just wondering if Nintendo is cool with it. If they are, fantastic. I'd love to see the Master Sword with blood stains on it.

the part with the amiibo chest is 60fps

...why wouldn't Nintendo be fine with that? It's not only not their game but they have allowed M-Rated games on their systems for like over two decades. This isn't the 90's anymore, dude
