Rumour: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Is Being Remastered for PS4

Pass, remasters are just getting stupid now

Skyrim was a fun game, but I tend to agree with what the article says. Games like The Witcher 3 blow it out of the water - not sure how it'd hold up today if it was re-released.

Never really understand why people get annoyed about remasters...whilst there are still LOADS of new games coming out it isn't an issue.

I never played Skyrim and everyone always bangs on about it being amazing so I'll probably pick it up when it's £15 or so.

@get2sammyb if people are that desperate to play Skyrim, Mass Effect, The 2 Arkham Games, Uncharted trilogy, Last Of Us, God Of War, Gears of War, halo etc they should go and get a ps3 or 360

@get2sammyb its just getting insane for me the remasters even more so that its a bethesda game that didnt work throughout its life on ps3 amd fallout 4 hasnt worked for a lot of people

If you don't want it, don't buy it, so simple!
Remasters most of the time are bundle with all the DLCs and with a great price, I got Tomb Raider, Sleping Dogs, Saints Row re-elected and probably will get this one too. Since I haven't played it before it is a good opportunity.

I would probably bite if mod support is included. That really makes a difference to be honest.

I know bethesda wont be doing the remaster themselves but a broken game to this day (i tried the dragonborn dlc last week and still crashes when i hit the water!) And they shouldnt be thinking of remastering anything when current games arent running properly

I don't see anything wrong with them rereleasing games, if it's a game you've played before and liked and there's a chance you'd play it again then cool, if not then why complain about it? It would be like complaining about new games that are coming out that you know you're never going to play.

@mrobinson91 Yes, as long as the original game is good, remastered games is okay in my book. Just add 1080p and 60 fps.

@GlynCR I had that problem once. I think you might need to delete and reinstall the game data.

I would most likely buy if significant improvements are made. I never finished it on PS3 due to the file size issue. Mostly loved it, although the Dragon attacks got old after a while.

@ztpayne7 did delete it twice still happens

If it has mod support, then it's worth getting for those who have never had the joy of Skyrim with Mods. Some amazing mods still being made today. The vanilla game is decent at best though, so it'll be mods should be the selling point. Probably not worth getting the remaster if you've already played the vanilla game as I'm even skeptical of how far they can push the graphics (some Skyrim mods today make Skyrim look better than Fallout 4)

Thank you Bethesda. I don't own a decent pc and don't plan to spend anymore on pc. So this is a wonderful way to experience Skyrim in all HD glory on this gen's consoles.

Hmm if it was elder scrolls 4 I would have bitten but V...

I played the game on PS3 with all the expansions and never had issues with how the game played. It ran smoothly. Spent over 250 hours on my first playthrough and still by far the best RPG I have played on any generation console.I bought it on PC and would buy it again on PS4.

So many remasters can we actually make new games please.

As long as no one steals my sweat roll...this shall be mine. This softens the devastating H:ZD news. Still recouping from that delay.

Probably the only remaster I'd be interested in now would be RDR... (I know that's not Bethesda)

If this is true, and if it works (no performance issues), I will definitely buy it. I've been in the mood to play Skyrim recently but I really hate the PS3 controller.

Will double dip for the right price, $30-$40 tops.

If it is, I'll be buying it. I had to stop playing this on my PS3 because it became a flick book when playing. As long as it's a steady 30fps or better then it's all good.

If I can carry my save game over then maybe but if not no.

Booooo.
Skyrim was one of the worst Bethesda games I've ever played. It was super clunky, kinda unresponsive (on PS3 anyways), glitchy as heck, and so overly simplified to the point where it was just plain dumbed down. Oblivion + Shivering Isles had a good balance of simple but fun gameplay coming from Morrowind, but Skyrim... Skyyyyyrim... Uhg... The most cookie-cutter RPG I've ever played.

I'd love to return to Skyrim, personally. When they announce this, I hope they at least give us an Elder Scrolls 6 teaser.

Damn for a minute there I thought it was a Skyrim 2 announcement! Loved the first one and spent over a hundred hours on it but won't buy it again for Ps4.I'm sure it will sell Damn well though.

I would absolutely pick it up. Me & Skyrim have a love/hate relationship as that game single handedly destroyed my PS3 (thermal paste wore off), but I loved it so much. Skyrim imo is the greatest open world rpg ever made, the amount of choice & freedom is unmatched, whereas with the Witcher 3 you play as a well defined character in a good open world.

I'd be interested, depends how ropey it looks and plays though.

Thomas the Tank Engine mod or NO BUY

Seeing as its one of the best games I've ever played, yeah, I'm getting it.

Let's hope they can get it to run as well as Fallout 4 does on PS4. Oh wait...

@Draythedestroyer 5 is far better and superior to 4.

Skyrim on PS3 was one of the worst performing games I have ever experienced in all my years of gaming. I was absolutely flabbergasted that a game that came out in 2011 could run like total crap. That being said, I still put many a hundred hours into it and with later patches it ran somewhat better. Haven't had any interest in anything Bethesda since. Definitely wouldn't recommend any day one adopters on Bethesda content.

@GlynCR I'm so desperate I bought Valkyria Chronicles Remastered with dlc, an artbook and a poster for € 25... I wonder why I didn't buy a used PS3 and old copy of the original game for € 200... I feel so stupid now...

I used to care about this, then I took an arrow to the knee.

@andreoni79 did you own a ps3 before your ps4? If so why wait 8 years (think it was released in 08) to play it? If you never had a chance to play uncharted or last of us cos you had a 360 or never played gears or halo cos you had a ps3 then fair play whack away at the remasters i just dont understand why people want to pay £40 (ish) for a remaster of a game thats on the shelf for a fraction of the price

With mod support like Fallout 4 (which isn't even ready for PS4 yet) & a low price, Maybe I'll play around...

@GlynCR I never had a PS3 and this is why I consider remasters important. Some of them may look useless to old gen players (thinking of Batman and Dead Island) but they still may attract new gamers. If the quality/price ratio is ok remasters may be a very good deal (Valkyria, Uncharted trilogy, Metro 1&2). Others may sound attractive because of extra content originally missed (for example I played Dark Souls 2 on 360 but none of its dlc).

@andreoni79 Like i said if you didnt have the console before i get it and i can see why devs want to put them out its easy money if its a popular game but its just gone OTT for me

I replaced my dvd collection with blu rays. I also replaced some of my blu rays with 3d blu rays once I purchased a 3d tv. If I watch a movie and think it's great I then buy said movie to watch when ever I want. My point is that great games are like movies but better in my oppion and can be played again especially if they run better or look better or both.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I have about 200 hours on Skyrim, absolutely loved it, but gave up on Witcher 3 after 10 hours. Didn't care for the ultra-macho dude protagonist and clumsy combat. So I guess not everyone has left the Elder Scrolls fold.

"Will we be returning to the RPG's dragon-infested realm, though? We can't imagine that this game has aged well in the wake of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but if it's cheap, we may give it a second look."

A friend in the industry told me about this back in February. Id just assumed it had already been announced. Cool stuff.

@airsick7 Ultra Macho? I felt Geralt was more like "The Man with No Name" , or "Yojimbo" or a Hard Boiled Detective; a world weary man of exceptional skill who goes about his business and believes in a job well done, and a code of morals that sometimes interferes with the nature of his "for hire" profession.

EDIT > I suppose the main difference is that Skyrim allows you to create a character, wheras Witcher III requires you to play a character.

@RPE83 Looking at him as "The man with no name", actually helps for me. Perhaps I lumped him in too quickly with all the other boring "gruff " that litter the videogame protagonist landscape. I might give him another try after all.
