Mister Pink Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) For original Skyrim topic, go here. We can discuss Skyrim Remastered for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. (Forgot to put PC in title if someone can add it for me please?) I'm looking forward to this because I had the complete edition for 360 but sold my Xbox for an X1. I still have all my Xbox 360 games though. I never got to play any of the DLC nor did I even complete the main quests. I know there was still so much more to see and do. Does anyone know if your save file from previous gen can carry over? I think I made a save but not sure. Maybe it's best I start over. Updates: Osho: Just noticed: link - 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. Its FREE!!!.

Creed Bratton Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Wow, it almost looks like a modded PC version. See what I just did there? That was a complisult. AmigaMix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueTroll Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I still believe this game looks absolutely gorgeous on PC. First time I played it on ultra I was seriously like "wow" So this remastered version will probably bonify my already bonified boner.

Edward Nashton Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I guess this is great news for console gamers who want to revisit Skyrim. I still believe this game looks absolutely gorgeous on PC. First time I played it on ultra I was seriously like "wow" So this remastered version will probably bonify my already bonified boner. You didn't mod your game? I'm not being snarky, I'm just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Pink Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) @Yokel: Yes, in the English language we call it a 'backhanded compliment.' Thanks for including patronizing video explanation there too, otherwise we probably would never have understood. Back on topic, what else do you hope to see in the game? I know there will be mods, what ones are available that you might use for your next playthrough?

D9fred95 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 But does Skyrim really need a remaster? It's only five years old. Apparently PC players get it for free. Probably because mods can make the original look 100x better than the remastered version. Mister Pink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osho Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 what else do you hope to see in the game?Graphical enhancements sounds great. It might save all the hassle of installing individual beautification mods, and simply focus on important gameplay mods without any issues. Also, Unofficial Patch and Cutting Room Floor Unlikely, but if they include these two then I'll definitely pick another copy for PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) HAH, GAAAAY. That fits here too. Well good for you consolers! Instead of getting the promised modability on consoles (yeah I know, the new "Special Edition" does allow it), you get to pay money again for something PC had for years!

Probably because mods can make the original look 100x better than the remastered version. Yeah was kind of thinking that but.. I mean I would happily play Skyrim on a 360 with the 360 graphics but I think, like many others out there, I sold my Xbox and I'v been dying to play a bit of Skyrim. Now, I can play it on my Xbox One which I'm happy about and the graphics have been bumped up a bit. One could argue: Why not just make it backwards compatible? True but I'll buy the game because Skyrim is worth it, especially when it comes to bang for your buck. It will be playable in 5 years time on my Xbox One, I can use mods now (why no just get a PC? I have one and prefer to game on a console), the graphics will be a but better (bonus for me, not a selling point) and I hope the loading times will be greatly improved. Oh and we get all the DLC, right? @shaddowfennekin: I'm not sure how many hours I sunk in between two games of Skyrim but I still never managed to get married. @Edward Nashton: I'm not too up on mods at all, only from what my friend tells me about on PC but they seem interesting. Here's hoping. Edward Nashton 1 ＲＵＢＢΣＲ░Ｊ♢ＨＮＮＹ （スオッ） Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Apparently PC players get it for free. Probably because mods can make the original look 100x better than the remastered version. It's free only if you own all the DLC or the Legendary Edition. And yes, the not-that-impressive graphical upgrade is exactly why those PC gamers will get it for free. Bethesda knows that there's no incentive to pay for it if you already own it. This is in a way a long overdue apology for the original release which was a blatant console port. If I decide to jump back (not likely if I'm being honest.) I only hope that modders can port their mods with relative ease. I used a sh*tton of mods in the original version.

Its FREE!!!. I take what I said back then That's pretty sweet. Oh wait, that only goes for PC-version? I don't take it back then. They just give something free to people who were never going to buy it anyway (I hope). Edited June 13, 2016 by Fireman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coin Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I find it hard to be excited about this, as it doesn't really seem to bring anything valuable to the table unless you're going to be picking it up on console. Even at the low low price of free, I'm not seeing any reason as of yet as to why I wouldn't just keep my current version (PC obviously). The PS3 version was pretty badly optimized as far as I've heard, I'm not sure about the 360 version though. Not badly optimized. I mean, at least not anymore than your average Bethesda game. The problem with the PS3 version was largely down to the PS3's system architecture. Edited June 13, 2016 by Coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osho Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Oh wait, that only goes for PC-version?Yup. No mention about a similar upgrade for console players, so far. I doubt they'll make it free to them. Consoles is where they can make money by selling features like mod support and better graphics. PC players are already playing remastered version with mods and all. No point in buying it again. Unless ( as I listed above ), they update the vanilla game and DLCs significantly with big fixes, restored content, and anything else to make it more appealing for PC gamers.

If you decide to release your game on a certain system, then it's your responsibility to make sure it's opitmized for that particular platform, and it wasn't.

PS3's architecture was terrible for open world games, particularly of this nature and scope. I'm not convinced there was ever any 'saving' it given how much resources were spent on that version to the point where they ended up cutting their DLC plans short. Edited June 13, 2016 by Coin.

Abel. Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Can't complain really. I'm always going on about how great certain remasters would be. Even if PC mods are better at least there's a greater chance of a stable build (maybe) with this, and it's free. I played so much Skyrim that I don't think I can face it again though, and the mechanics and narrative are absolutely dated now; as fun as Skyrim was it's been made totally redundant by TW3, and doesn't have the charm that Oblivion had.

chronic lumbago Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I played this game for over 1000 hours without mods. It's one of my favorite games of all time and this remaster is like a dream coming true, but I don't know about paying the full price.. I'm glad it's official but knowing every corner and playstyle of skyrim and consisering fallout mods and other upcoming games I think I'll rather pass until it's cheaper. Maybe I'll play as a wood elf finally lol Edited June 13, 2016 by fashion Mister Pink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're unable to get it to work properly, don't release it. I get that they're a business and all, but they knowingly sold people a fundamentally broken game. That was their decision, not Sony's. So in the the end, they're the ones to blame. Edited June 13, 2016 by TalkingPear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic81 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 This doesnt mean much to me because im on PC. It already looks amazing on PC (vanilla, f*ck ENB mods) and I already have the ability to use mods. I will probably try it still. The trailer didnt give a lot of scenery.. I wanna see how different everything else looks. Mister Pink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticWhisper Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Skyrim was my first real RPG. I had no idea what I was doing, or how I was doing it. I am not saying I have an extensive knowledge in RPG's now but I am a lot more seasoned with them now. So I can't wait to dive back into Skyrim with a fresh, new set of eyes.
