feels as tho they used fallout 4's graphics, wonder if godrays will pixelate on lower end cards still?

It better be! That is the main reason I want to get this remastered Skyrim.

Essentially like buying Morrowind again!

Does this mean if I throw explosive spells at rocks little pebbles will fall out everywhere? That was such a small but awesome feature for the high end nvidia cards.

If the framerate isn't any better,
i will be very sad.

I leveled an altmer to level 700 on ps3, and i have had enough of 10 FPS.
It needs to be at least a SOLID 30 FPS without frame drops.

It will be....probably, that all depends on whether or not Bethesda doesn't screw the pooch on this one and have it ending up being incompatible with some 50000+ existing Skyrim mods.

You will be playing It on much more powerful hardware by comparison to a ps3 so of course, the Ps3 simply wasn't powerful enough to play Skyrim effectively with, hell performance wise Skyrim was too much for the 360 and PS3.

Also is it just me or do you get the feeling Bethesda only did this now to cash in on the Giant mods being made like Skywind and Beyond Skyrim which they know people want and they know they will be popular? think about it, not much work on their part so they port skyrim over to Xbone and PS4 where countless people will buy skyrim just for them mods raking in a large sum of income, genius tactic really although I suspect if someone ever got them mods running on Console somehow it would have to be uploaded in different parts as they sure as hell would exceed the upload limit.

Just imagine how many people will buy Skyrim for those consoles if Skywind was playable on them.

Can't wait.... I miss my adventures with Serana

Looks like it'll be good for those on console... tbh for PC we've already had better graphics than those 'upgraded' ones shown for a few years (Via mods), so don't think there will be much draw there to go back.

I am not a huge fan of mods. While I appreciate the effords of modders I rather play vanilla games. Sometimes though modders do awesome game fixing stuff. I just wish that the devs would take care of that themselves. Or when modders improve on convenience stuff. Like essential addons that fix gamemechanics that make you scratch your head how these could have made it of the drawing board. The main reason I don't like mods is that I have to rely on others to keep these functional and they stop working when the game gets updated but the mod doesn't.

So yeah we probably had mods with better graphics than this but I take something official over a mod any day. Sorry modders.
