>Remastered Skyrim rumoured to be announced at E3
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-07-skyrim-remaster-prey-2-wolfenstein-2-evil-within-2-rumoured-for-e3
wew lad, not even skyrim 2 next, instead Todd will release the same game again. What a madman. Is there anything he can't do?
Almost as bad as when CDPR did it. Greedy fucks :^)
Bathesda knows their gamer demographic
>prey 2
Fuck I was intersted in this years ago. I'm pretty sure it was canned tho. Alien bounty hunter sounded great.
>>340337771
Except people who already bought the game got the enhanced version for free
2016 truly is the year of the "Remaster"
>>340337441
>buying bethesda shit
come on now
>it's been 10 years since Skyrim was released
Really makes you think...
>>340337441
Calling it now, they're going to remove levels and just make your character get better at everything as you do shit.
>>340337441
What is the point of a remaster for a game made great by mods?
>>340339179
easy money
>>340339179
console peasants will buy it
act
>>340339256
>post yfw Bethesda releases a fallout 4 remaster in five years and it sells millions
Hahaha holy shit I want to see it so bad, just to see how much they "improved" the graphics.
>tfw you will never play Morrowind remastered
>>340338987
>>340339223
What the fuck are you talking about it came out 9/9/99 it was my childhood.
>>340339256
This, it'll be PS4/Xbone release with mod support.
Hopefully it doesn't have paid mods. I'm still waiting for that shit to happen, console kiddies with their moms credit cards will eat it up.
>>340339627
its gonna run worse than the ps3 version
>>340339627
If it's true, its going to look like fallout 4 does in terms of graphics
>>340339717
Would it be possible and cost effective for them to update the game completely with new animations and a combat system plus a higher poly count for everything?
I would readily pay $80
If this means that Skyrim on PC will get updates to its engine, then I support this.
>>340340263
Old Skyrim won't get an update, the new improved skyrim will, provided you donate 60$ to Todd
>>340337441
So buy a remastered game that's just adding what mods did in 2011/12?
>>340340263
Remember how Dark Souls 2 was when they did Scholar of the First Sin?
Yeah, welcome aboard. If you want it to run better and look better, get out the shekels.
>>340337441
Jesus christ
>Wolfenstien 2
That's where I'm excited
>>340338987
>it came out the 06/06/06
wow,10 years and 2 days
>>340340474
>>340340626
I would assume that PC would get the update for free.
My reasoning? On PC, Bethesda's New Skyrim would be directly competing with Modded Old Skyrim. And, well, New Skyrim will look worse than Modded Old Skyrim. So sales on PC would be awful, so they might as well just give it to us for posterity sake.
And I don't think it's too far fetched, because GUESS WHAT? Bethesda is going to use this to push console mods for Skyrim with their new Bethesda.net modding platform, just like they've done for Fallout 4.
Who makes these mods? Is it the console players? No, it's the PC nerds. And the only way they're going to get PC nerds to port their mods to console is to make sure that PC nerds get the most up-to-date version of the game.Whether Bethesda's charges for it or not is irrelevant because I only buy new games. No PC player will pay for rereleases unless they have to. If they release a paid Skyrim release on PC, it will only get pirated. No shekels for Todd.
your fucking face when people, including people on PC, buy it
>Remastering Skyrim instead of Oblivion or Morrowind
WHAT THE FUCK WHY
>>340337441
Which futa mods are you consolefags most looking forward to?
>>340341005
1. It's not coming to PC.
2. It's obvious people will buy it.
3. You are pretty gay.
Probably a PS4/Boner version with mod support like in FO4. They'll likely bring the graphics settings to be similar with PC on Ultra too but that will still look like shit these days.
>>340341151
>2. It's obvious people will buy it.
>>340341121
the skyrim audience doesn't know about morrowind or oblivion
there's more money to be made here
>>340341005
I can't care anymore. I really can't.
I don't buy Bethesda products, I tell everyone I know not to buy Bethesda products. That's all I can do.
>>340341121
because morrowind would need a full remake, not just a remaster.
and between remastering oblivion and remastering skyrim, skyrim is the obvious choice because it's just a more polished version of oblivion that sold twice as many copies.
also, they already had a head start on skyrim
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/bethesda-ported-skyrim-to-xbox-one-but-only-as-a-t/1100-6431961/
to prepare for making fallout 4, they ported skyrim to xbox one so they could get a feel for the new hardware. so a lot of the hard work was already done. they just have to maybe touch up some textures or maybe add a new effect or two or some new grass.
>mfw prey 2 wont be the same but some shitty linear shooter
>>340341223
How do you not see it? In case you didn't know, Skyrim is like the game of all time to tons and tons of people out there. It's now coming out with improved graphics for their new shiny consoles. Some people are so retarded that they even sold their old consoles to get their new ones so that's even more of a reason for them to buy it again.
There are people out there, maybe even right on this board, that bought GTA V 3 times. Come on man it's not rocket science, people are dumb.
>>340339717
>>340340201
Wouldn't be possible. Back then games had so much more content. People would flip their shit if they had to read more than two lines in their questlog.
That would be the most pointless remaster in the history of remasters. I want to see it so bad.
>>340341223
Because it's Bethesda, and because Bethesda has a stranglehold on the casual market for open-world games. What other open-world, action-adventure games can compete with Fallout and The Elder Scrolls? The Witcher? No. Kingdoms of Amalur tried and failed. Far Cry is the closest any other major IP comes to that.
They do not need to even make a quality product, they just slap "Bethesda" on it and market the hell out of it (Fallout 4, Skyrim), and it sells like hotcakes going out of season.
I see people saying they feel "wrong" for not enjoying Bethesda games because they have the sense to realize they're flawed, but not enough to puncture through the hype that clouds their critical judgement. Very few other companies get this luxury, people just give Bethesda a free pass because there's no one else competing with what they do successfully.
the fuck are they gonna remaster that isnt outdone by modding? or is it just code for "it will be on PS4 and Xbox1 now :DDD"
>>340341138
I'm neither a console player nor a degenerate. If they do indeed do a remaster, I hope they improve the melee combat. It's incredible how shit it is
>>340341571
I don't think so. Skyrim ran at like 600p and 25fps on ps3.
>>340341642
Pretty much.
Oh also mod support for consoles. That's probably the big selling point they'll be going for.
>>340341223
I liked Skyrim 2bh. If the new version increases the graphics a lot then I'll probably get it.
>>340341641
>>I see people saying they feel "wrong" for not enjoying Bethesda games because they have the sense to realize they're flawed, but not enough to puncture through the hype that clouds their critical judgement.
I saw that too. I felt pity for those people, holy shit.
>>340341662
Oh, i guess forgot about consoles.
>>340341138
I like the sounds of skyrim ones, the pitter patter of rain through my speakers will sound cool.
will it just be the PC version I wonder, the same old game with the high rez pack, running at 1080, 60fps
>>340341662
Who the fuck plays anything like skyrim on a console anyways? Stick to corridor hack n slash like Souls.
Honestly if the PC Remastered version looks significantly good I'll buy it. No enb mods tho, it will be on dx11
>>340337441
Are you fucking serious? I've already grinded out the game with and without mods.
>The latest elders scroll game was a goddamn mmo
I don't want to replay it again.
Why can't they just release a normal elders scroll game?
>>340339717
I can't see them doing a Morrowind remaster and not fucking it up, not to mention we wouldn't have any of Morrowind's original mods.
When you think about it, OpenMW is kind of like a remaster.
>>340342093
People like you disgust me. Read the fucking article, there's no PC version.
I hate this "let's remaster a game that came out last gen" meme. Games released last gen don't even look that bad. Maybe they should put some fucking effort in and remaster games from the gen BEFORE the last one, give us a remastered Morrowind without giving it the Skyrim treatment.
I don't why people don't think Skyrim is a good target for a remaster.
1) It ran really poorly on 7th gen consoles, especially ps3
2) it's one of the most popular RPGs of all time so it'll print money
3) Bethesda wants to continue growing their new console mod feature so skyrims an obvious choice
4) they already had a working Xbox one version of the game
5) the next elder scrolls game is probably still 2 years away, which means a 7 year gap between TES 5 and TES 6, so this will keep TES nerds happy for a while as they work on the new game
6) they just released fallout 4 so porting Skyrim to their updated version of the engine will be easy. Skyrim could use some technical updates.
>>340342223
>bethesda
>no PC version
they'd be stupid not to do this
>>340342000
According to Bethesda's numbers they released when Skyrim hit 20 million sales, 86% of Skyrim sales were on Xbox and ps3
>>340342126
I'm pretty sure Todd said they were working on a new TES at some point or other. I wouldn't be surprised if it's announced this E3.
>>340337441
I'm half inclined to beleive this rumor, simply on the basis this is the jeweyest thing Bethesda could do to create a ready-made platform for paid mods based on current IP. Hi-res the textures, more triangles in the models, new mod tools packaged with it, boom, new game they can justify paid mods on.
>>340337441
First the "deluxe/ultimate" editions of games, and now they aren't even trying to release new games just making them less ugly. Such a good time to be a gamer.
>>340342565
Really? That's good to know thanks.
>>340342223
What makes you think they won't make it for PC? Current Skyrim pc version is 32bits that runs on dx9.
It says "Skyrim remastered".
>>340342223
If there's any engine updates, then Bethesda would NEED the pc players to also have those updates because Bethesda relies on PC modders to make free mods for the console players to use.
>>340342512
>releasing a remastered version for PC
>when everybody already remastered it themselves
To top it off it would cause problems because older might not be compatible with the remaster
No anon, they'd be stupid to do this.
>>340337441
Please fucking add anti-modding DRM and use the Steam Mod Store to distribute it.
If Valve was smart they would have introduced it to any of their own yet-to-be-released games but it seems we won't be seeing any Valve produced games for a while.
>>340342568
What paid mods you are talking about? And here is your (you)
>>340341138
quit posting shops todd, here's a real photo from that event
>>340342643
>>340342126
>>340342565
Todd said they wouldn't announce TES6 until it was pretty much ready to ship, so probably like what they did with Fallout 4 where they just said "Boom, it's coming out in like 4 months!"
Also Todd has nothing to do with the MMO and one of the first things he said when it was announced was that it wasn't canon.
>>340342779
Not to mention they also need mod ideas to include in their next fallout/elder scrolls
>>340337441
>is there anything he can't do?
Yeah. Release a decent game after losing their main writer.
>>340341483
>>340341641
this preety much
its sad that gaming quality goes to shit cause normies think gaming is ''cool'' nowdays
>>340343030
That too. Bethesda relies too much on PC modders to not give them the tools that they need.
>>340341138
>>340342996
>Biggest selling point would be console mods
>The pc userbase would have to buy it when its graphically inferior and without the years of mod content and make these new mods themselves
>The console mods would still be limited to no script extender and a 2GB limit
>Even then the people on pc who choose to buy and mod high poly skyrim would have to upload their mods to bethesda's site for console users to use them.
Console users aren't going to get shit out of mod support.
>>340341641
Its like mcdonalds
everyone knows its cancerous shit yet everyone eats it
>>340340931
On the other hand, since Bethesda's jew-level is over 9000, there is a chance that they will go turbocorporate and make new Skyrim console exclusive, with just Bethesda approved "official mods" available.
>>340343008
I don't like eso as a game but it had a lot of lore elements I liked. Where did they say it wasn't canon because all I saw when I googled it was that it "wouldn't effect the main series"
>>340343178
it'll probably just be a free optional update on steam, kinda like the "HD texture pack". for console mods to work, bethesda needs pc players to be working hard on making these mods. this means giving their nerd slaves the tools that they need to make mods.
>>340343220
No, I think the mcdonalds comparison fits yearly games more than anything Bethesda shits out
>>340343138
>Max Landis
Would a remastered version be compatible with existing mods?
>>340342394
1.) Justified
2.) I disagree on principle, but I might be biased as I don't buy modern remasters. I think remasters should be motivated by a desire to update dated games to a modern standard, not to "print money" with the HD moniker attached. This sounds like too little, too soon; it's in bad taste.
3.) Console mods are a clusterfuck, and will continue to be a clusterfuck for the foreseeable future. The audience for console mods is so infuriatingly dense that no good can come from spreading the cancer to the Elder Scrolls fanbase as well as the Fallout fanbse. Mod authors are regularly being hounded and threatened for not porting their mods to specific platforms. Some console mod consumers are stealing mods from the Nexus and uploading them to Bethesda.net without the permission of the original author. Other console mod consumers don't understand concepts as straight-forward as, "This will NOT work on console," and blame authors or even Bethesda for their perceived persecution.
Not to mention, 2GB limit, no script extenders, etc. It's not attractive to mod authors, but it will be once Bethesda inevitably enables authors to sell mods that do not use Bethesda's own assets (it's in the Fallout 4 EULA, read it).
4.) True.
5.) True, but I think Elder Scrolls fans would prefer Bethesda to focus on improving the next iteration of TES instead. A remaster isn't going to take away serious resources from it, but it's still an issue.
6.) The Fallout 4 engine is a trainwreck between two dumpster fires, to call it "updated" is just fucked.
I'm worried about console mods, mostly. Luckily, I stick to New Vegas so it doesn't impact me, but I feel sorry for mod authors who have to deal with console mod consumers.
>>340341223
people love it when you release the same game over and over again with slight changes. see: uncharted series
>>340341257
this
they will probably ask why remaster when they asked forSkyrim 2
>>340343349
>bethesda worse than mcdonalds
kek
>>340343627
also consoletards are in lack of games
>>340343627
yes but i thought everyone knows that bethesda games are shitty ,bugged unfinished alpha state products
>>340337441
POST YFW THEY ACTUALLY MAKE SKYRIM A GOOD GAME
>>340337441
>not just making elder scrolls 6
fucking JEWS
Is this just for consoles? It's not like this shit will offer anything that free mods can't.
Nobody really expects Bethesda to actually fix problems with the game do they?
>>340343568
Fuck no.
>>340343593
whether console mods is a clusterfuck or not is irrelevant b/c bethesda HAS spent millions of dollars on it and they WILL continue to try to make it work. they've wanted console mods for a long time and they aren't going to give up easily.
as for the taking away resources, bethesda opened up a little sibling studio to help with development. i imagine the new studio is the one who is remastering skyrim while actual bethesda works on tes 6.
http://www.polygon.com/2015/12/9/9878680/bethesda-softworks-new-studio-montreal
>>340343220
Not really. If I go to McDonalds, it's because I know that their priority is being cheap.
If we're going to stick with shitty food analogies: Bethesda is In-N-Out if we were in an alternate universe where In-N-Out was shit. You drive through Bethesda Burger and order your double-double, DLC style; but as you're getting your order, you realize: half of one patty isn't cooked, another has a bite out of it, and the bun is expanding and shrinking rapidly, hitting everything in sight and raising a doughy racket. But who gives a fuck, because there's no one else like Bethesda Burger and you'd forgive them even if they forgot to cook your fries and just gave you a whole potato instead.
Every time you want to go eat with your friends in the area, they want to go to Bethesda Burger, because "It's the best."
If they do announce a remastered version, it would probably be a good idea to go on the Nexus and grab any mod you could ever imagine being interested in. I agree that a remaster would probably come with console mods, and there's a decent chance people will start taking their mods down in response to console players harassing them for not making them available for consoles because "All you have to do is check a box."
>>340343138
kek, Bethesda is such a casual company. I bet you this wasn't even close to the first time that they've invited a shitload of people to their event that don't have a clue, just to feel important. Lies masked by more lies, the true Bethesda experience.
>>340343138
>When is Fallout Boy playing
Every time
>>340344067
If so, they'd basically have no hope of selling the remaster to PC users, although they probably wouldn't be that interested anyway.
>>340344267
This
pretty accurate
And they still buy it again and again
You need to have something "mastered" before you can "remaster" it.
>>340343568
>>340344067
>>340344476
it's in bethesda's best interest to maintain a high level of compatibility. they want PC users to be able to quickly port their mods to console, which would mean bethesda is going to try to make things compatible.
>>340344267
Don't forget the horde of guys standing out front offering free sauces for your burger with promises of sauce alone fixing the burger. However the sauces rarely mix well so the more you pile on the more likely you'll end up having to scrape it all off and start over.
>inb4 its just the same game but with the high rez texture pack already on PC
>>340344673
lel
>>340337441
Skyrim 2 confirmed bros! Arrow to da knee XD
>>340344714
But the sauces have seeped into the burger so deeply that it's impossible to start over, so you need to throw the burger out and get a new one.
>>340337441
>remastered
mods already beat them there lmao. i already know for a fact it will look worse.
>>340344714
>>340345028
>I'll have a Burger 4
>What do you mean my burger already voice acted its own order
>Wait, why are my fries are the protagonist of the main order
>You mean all I have to do is give you $5 for the sauce add-on and it will fix it?
>Why does my Burger 4 taste like Burger 3Requesting Todd as a frycook
>>340344706
But console mods have already proven to be an unmitigated disaster for Fallout 4. Unless Bethesda makes drastic improvements to their system, no mod creators will want to even think about porting their mods to consoles.
>Skyrim rehash will run like shit, since they will surely move it to gamebryo 4.5, aka the Fallout 4 version of the engine.
Cannot wait for the god rays and fog.
>>340344995
I would play a Skyrim 2 if they made the cities real cities and had a Frostfall like mechanic
>tfw no Morrowind Remastered
>tfw no Oblivion Remastered
>tfw Skyrim, the newest one, is getting remastered
why
>>340345456
>tfw no Morrowind Remastered
>tfw no Oblivion Remastered
Good. They still exist, go play them.
>>340345594
stfu you old fagit, morrowind is dog chit looking, it needs to be remastered to play
>>340345456
Because Skyrim is the only good one.
>>340337441
>remastering a game that's already been made infinitely better by mods and arguably has one of the largest modding scenes of any game to date
For what purpose.
At least give us Oblivion or Morrowind.
>>340345729
Why do you even play games if all you care about is the graphics? Go watch CG movies
>>340345456
normies
>>340345594
>Good. They still exist, go play them.
Uh. It's not like they stop existing when you get a remake.
>>340337441
>not even skyrim 2
>skyrim 2
>>340345852
>Painful Walk Speed
>Massively redundant NPC dialogues
>That one repeating ambient track
>Go here do simple task, return for reward questing
>Razor sharp jaggies everywhere
The game isn't even bad, but it has aged poorly and is painfully boring to play through.
>>340346575
You understand if they changed any of that other than jaggies in the remaster people would throw a fit right?
This generation is shit for games.
>>340347598
Your shit opinions are irrelevant.
>animations still awful
>still have those awful get out of bed, sit in chair animations
>cities still closed in by loading screens
>dungeons/buildings closed in by loading screens
Why
>>340347721
They are not shit opinions they are what i know people to do the only other thing on that list people wouldnt throw a fit about is changing the NPC dialogue they would lose it over the walking speed though morrowind fans like that
>>340337441
I read the article. It's worth noting that the only information revealed by a reputable source is that "And they might revisit an older game of theirs in some shiny new paint maybe".
The Skyrim stuff was from an 'apparent insider' (read as "Someone who said 'I work at Bethesda' on Neogaf) with no history of actually leaking information.
So basically even if you believe the initial rumor it could well end up being one of their older games that gets the remaster treatment.
Maybe Morrowind or something.
>>340341641
old bethesda fans remember shit like daggerfall or morrowind where there was a lot of shit to do and you actually felt like you were making unique choices with your character or in the world to beat the game.
then they get skyrim and are like, wait wtf are they doing! but people who never played the early games think its the best thing they have ever seen, and they think of its flaws as charming where as the usual fans who are not used to those flaws are exasperated by them.
Its like a movie series going to complete shit but getting in a whole bunch of new fans near the end who never saw the earlier movies, sure the new movie is a bit tacky at times but wow isnt it a unique concept? and whats with those old movies everyone keeps talking about they are so lame cutting out action scenes for character building ugh, where are the special effects?
