Rumor: Bethesda will announce Skyrim remaster at E3
- Thread starter Granadier
- Start date
Here's the thread for them porting Skyrim to Xbox One I got junior'ed over (and rightly so) back last year: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1134335&highlight=
The correct answer
Mods can't exactly fix the vanilla quests and VA (though they can have new quests and voice acting, some of which are on par or even better than Bethesda's), but there's plenty of mods that change combat, gameplay balance and the like. I'm playing Requiem right now, in fact; the combat is far more enjoyable because it is more lethal for everyone involved. Early on when you're just starting out, even wolves and mudcrabs are difficult, and only the strongest supernatural creatures can tank a warhammer power attack to the face.
Bethesda really should do a better job with their difficulty levels; it's ridiculous how they just up the damage received and decrease damage done and call it a day.
Agreed.

All I can really do is scratch my head and ask why. Skyrim was not a good game, it had some great environments and scenery but outside of that it was a terrible game. Maybe cause I played on console and never got to play the mods and such but then even so that isn't Skyrim it's a community built game. So yeah still scratching my head in confusion.

Would get New Vegas remastered. Otherwise I'm not even remotely interested. This game has not aged well. And after Witcher 3, it'd be a fight to even go back.

If they improve the engine I hope that there will be a free update for PC players.
Once you add graphical mods the game starts to shit itself and becomes incredibly CPU bound.

Should have been Oblivion to be remastered. That would have been amazing, built from the ground up. Many have played Skyrim, probably not Oblivion. Hopefully our old saves work too!

Morrowind is still the best, would rather it 
Skyrim on PS4 should actually be playable though.

I hope it'll be than just a port if true. If it's just a port I'm not interested since I already have it on PC.
A 64-bit executable with proper multi-threading support would be fantastic, though. Kaffeemann's completely right about the current limitations of the game.

It will look worse than modded Skyrim, won't it?
I think Oblivion would have been a good choice, given how disappointing the game was and how badly it has aged.
Did you just use a German videogame website to proclaim that German journalism is awful? Really? I mean, really?
in terms of videogames, yes. They're doing clickbaits like no one other.

That doesn't mean it was good.

It happens to be good.

For me it sure as hell can. I love both games and as great as Witcher 3 is, Bethesda always has thesw things in their games only they have. I always like exploring their game world's, the dungeons in Skyrim were awesome for example. Both games have their great things. They can coexist fine.

Yup I remember this. Hopefully this means there will be gameplay and graphics improvements but I'm not holding my breath.

Would have preferred oblivion. Or morrowind. But if the remaster allows mods on consoles then we can potentially have all three so keep your fingers crossed everyone.

Remaster? As in, port of PC version at max settings? Or, if they bother adding new textures/models they should add those to the PC version too.
Wait, actually... there was an official, free "high definition" texture pack a while after release... they most likely will use that.
Eh.

Yeah, if you'd have watched our podcast with Shinobi a few weeks ago, you'd have known this already

Only if the awful progression system is ditched and replaced with the functional one from Skyrim imo. The same would apply for a potential Morrowind remaster.
Oh my, clickbait, I have never seen such a thing on an American website. So PC Games Hardware is utter garbage?

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I rather have a New Vegas remaster to be honest because than I would have a good Fallout game to play on my PS4.
Or an Oblivion remaster with actual Trophy support would be nice too since not even in the 5th Anniversary resale of Oblivion did Bethesda not bothered to add Trophy Support.

Would have preferred all 3. Oblivion was my "next-gen is here and it's going to be amazing" moment, and I never managed to get through Morrowind (which is something I need to put right one of these days).
In fact... You know what, Elder Scrolls Anthology remaster. Go all the way.

Morrowind? No thanks
Unless they basically inject skyrim combat into it, who would honestly want to play that RNG combat "hey that totally hit you but nope guess not because dice roll" it has?

The correct answer.
I think given Skywind, if it ever comes out, Oblivion would make more sense right now, even if Morrowind is arguably the better game. I assume both games require too much work though.

Yeah, you're right. Bethesda has a GREAT track record with this stuff. It'll probably run at 60 fps.
