Thanks Todd.

Must have been the wind.

I saw the AMA but wish they would show the ps5 vs PS4 footage. They did it for ESO so why not this? The fps and 4k would make a decent change I'd think,

 

[Trogdor1123]

And the patch is live

You mean you aren't eternally grateful for Todd selling to Microsoft this ensuring that us Sony fans will only be able to play this Elder Scrolls game until the end of time? /s

Full disclosure, I am admittedly more triggered by this than I should be/wish I was. It's like my 5 stages of grief is stuck in a loop.

I don't have an issue with this. I'm a Cloud gamer. I get everything in Subpar 720-1080p adding to my misery *sobs*. However, I'm hoping Nvidia GeForce Now brings MS games to its service. Absolute win. Then we can tackle Sony. Then we become the Cloud PC Master Race.

Honestly, the 3080 Tier for Cloud gaming is godlike.

 

[Fare thee well]

Im waiting for the next Skyrim remaster in 2023 that we'll get in lieu of TES6

 

[RPS37]

24 GB update on XSX is up….
In the middle of downloading 100GB of FH5 right now tho.

 

[THE DUCK]

So does the on gamepass special edition have the update then as well now?

 

[THE DUCK]

Nevermind, I see now it does have the graphics upgrade. You know, not too shabby for an ancient game.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Fuck it.

I'll wait a few months for my mods to be updated for this, and I'll re-mod this edition in August.

Fus ro fucking DAH!!!

 

[TheGodfather07]

Can't wait for the 75th anniversary edition when I'm 90 years old.

 

[Classicrockfan]

[Shtef]

I updated, and it shows as a series X game now, but under manage game it still shows fps boost and auto hdr.

 

[iHaunter]

It looks the same.

 

[Polelock]

It looks the same.

FPS is much higher on the PS5

 

[Nickolaidas]

FPS is much higher on the PS5

By 30, to be exact.

 

[Thabass]

Oh good, another version of this game I will probably buy and never play...

 

[Trogdor1123]

There seems to better draw distance too. Not by much though. 60 fps is pretty nice. Played through the opening last night. Game is still great. Going to crush through it again. Looking to find odd quests this time.

 

[abcdrstuv]

So it’s 4k/60, better draw distance, HDR, graphics otherwise the same?

 

[nowhat]

There's now fishing. Although at this point that seems like trolling.

 

[Rob_27]

Does it say gdk or what ever as I don't know what the difference is. Would have been nice to go wow yea

 

[abcdrstuv]

There's now fishing. Although at this point that seems like trolling.

Man, cash grab. They could’ve done a lot more, GTA was at least limited by needing to keep an older gen “feel”. Why can modders do all kinds of upgrade shit Bethesda can’t

 

[RoadHazard]

So disappointing that it looks exactly the same on PS5. I mean, it still looks like a PS3 game. I guess the engine is too shit to do much about it, which is why they're supposedly completely rebuilding it for Starfield and TESVI.

 

[ManaByte]

It's a noticeable upgrade from the FPS boosted SE on XSX.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Fuck you bethesda

 

[ManaByte]

Fuck you bathesda

 

[Celcius]

Meh, let me know when that 20th anniversary edition comes out

 

[Fake]

Hope to be alive until 30th anniversary edition.

 

[abcdrstuv]

Say, uh, more? What do you notice?

 

[ManaByte]

Say, uh, more? What do you notice?

SE was only 1080p, boosted to 60. This is 4K 60. Looks much crisper and sharper, but at 60fps.

 

[Cornbread78]

Ok, do I pay yo upgrade my PS4 versionand play on PS5 or download the free SeX version on GP?

 

[BootsLoader]

Is this a meme at this point?

 

[Trogdor1123]

Ok, do I pay yo upgrade my PS4 versionand play on PS5 or download the free SeX version on GP?

The PS4 version updates for free

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Gonna dig in later

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Don’t know if I can play this for a fourth time but if it resets all your trophies on PS5 then I guess I can go another round…

No point playing again if everything is unlocked as I played PS4 version to death with the platinum as end result.

It is exactly the same as before which is pathetic. On ps5 with the 60 fps mod, no difference. I was especially bummed to see the same LOD. As your traveling around the trees and foliage only render a short ways out. This should've and could've expanded that draw distance. That what this needed most imo.

BETHESDA- DONT SAY "IMPROVED GRAPHICS" IF THEYRE NOT IMPROVED!

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

So it’s 4k/60, better draw distance, HDR, graphics otherwise the same?

I don't see a better draw distance at all. I was actually questioning whether it was worse as I was playing last night. The trees just don't render past a certain fixed point. Travel around on a horse and you'll see this it's almost as bad as the gta trilogy but instead of cars and nocs popping in it's tress and grass.

What pisses me off is how even though Bethesda has gotten a lot of flak over their misleading "16x the detail" claims, they still can't help themselves, they just have to fib. "Improved graphics". No, the framerate has been doubled the graphics are the same, and if you were downloading the 60 fps mod before everything is exactly the same.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Actually based on the above now might not bother

 

[niilokin]

here I just prefer my unmodded vanilla Legendary Edition

[Lukin1978]

I wonder if skyrim will release on ps6 before we get a new elder scrolls.
Ps3,4,5 and 6 wouldn't be suprising

 

[IbizaPocholo]

The newest edition of Skyrim adds just enough to entice the few that have yet to play it, or perhaps missed the 8th gen version, but stops short of much else.

 

[splattered]

Dumb but also funny:

You'll be able to get a head start on some tedious trophies by importing a ps4 save and triggering them right away.

 

[JCK75]

I was OK with this until I actually purchased the upgrade to find it just takes my existing installed games and forces it to download some mods and that is it...
WTF is this?
