They're remastering it because it;s cheap to do and people will actually buy it on consoles. It's as close to free money as they can get, why do you think the PC version will be free to current owners?
Hudson Powell
They just want to sell it to the idiots on the new consoles again - and that with the absolute minimum effort.
Ethan James
They're doing it because they're going to make a fuckton of money for very little effort.
Angel Cox
>Are they only remastering it because of the new engine same old engine, just new middleware stuff+console mods
Eli Hughes
They're running out of ideas and talent, so they're selling the same popular game twice.
Jaxon Sullivan
money
Thomas James
>why do you think the PC version will be free to current owners?
Source? If true, I am 100% okay with them charging consoles a peasant tax.
Jonathan White
64-bit will allow me to uše shitloads of script-intensive mods so I dont care. I want enhanced version of NV next
Benjamin Nguyen
Todd Howard announced it on stage during E3
Levi Fisher
>new engine
people who think that this is a thing are the reason why game companies get away with making shit games and rake in trillions
Austin Wright
Its free IF you have all the DLC
Jayden Thompson
>Oblivion is 10 years old >Would have made a much better candidate for being remastered >"Fuck that noise people want the Elder Scrolls where being out in the wilderness is an ordeal, not because it's dangerous but because dragons take fucking forever to do anything"
Robert Gray
>because of the new engine It doesnt have a new engine you moron, it has new effects.
Carter Butler
>new engine Hahaha They're pushing their paid mods in console again, that's all this is.
Daniel Myers
So? Why not just make skyrim remaster free then but..
Campain DLC's you've gotta pay for? Like War campains in the civil war and smaller dlc's?
Fallout 4 engine. They've updated it alot since skyrim.
You don't count the original id engine as the same engine that runs doom 3 do you?
Jonathan Adams
Remaster with mod support, then release paid mods
Luis Fisher
You would need to remake the game idiot. With this they just gave their new studio a job to upgrade the engine and fix bugs that the swap caused.
You're the idiot. You can upgrade Oblivion's engine to Fallout 4's just the same as you can upgrade Skyrim's. Just like Fallout 4 uses an upgraded Skyrim engine, Skyrim uses an upgraded Fallout 3 engine, which uses an upgraded Oblivion engine. It's literally all the same engine.
Julian Taylor
So it's free for PC but are they going to resell us all the DLC? Because fuck that
Isaiah Evans
Yes, and? Modders have already accomplished making the game 64bit. That doesn't mean modders gave the game a new engine, now does it? And neither has Bethesda.
Julian Edwards
They are and its simple to upgrade, you remove the code that references to an old engine then recompile for the new engine references.
E.g Lighting, the new system is better and produces a more realistic lighting and is faster than older lighting models.
Wyatt Rivera
They want to bring modding to console Skyrim. Console players are dependant on PC to create these mods.
Michael Murphy
So UE4 is the same as UE3, UE2 and the original Unreal Engine? Just like the Q3 engine is the same as the Q1 engine?
Jaxson Gomez
For easy money
Owen Powell
Yes and No.
I'll explain why.
Unreal engine is kinda similar to UE4 engine however it lacks certain things like references to the original engine.
This may be but not limited to.. >Lighting >Particles >Brushes >Etc
Now, They updated the file structure which means that things from the orginal game will need to be re-imported and then the scripts will need to be updated for things that are reference.
Particles will work as they have an older option.
Most things will, you've just gotta update those which don't.
Jose Ortiz
>Modders have already accomplished making the game 64bit.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, do you? You just repeat what the other dumbasses on Sup Forums are saying to fit in.
Brody Russell
>i just thought they would remaster everything at once
you can't possibly think like this right?
Charles Powell
It's 64-bit, it has volumetric lighting and it also has physically based rendering
This is good for PC users because it'll remove modding restrictions/enhance vanilla graphics (meaning modded graphics will be even better) and console fags get it on current gen and receive modding support
Adrian Ramirez
probably moving it to the updated engine and making minor changes etc the real reason is so they can sell it again on xbone/ps4 >allow you to move your player from game to game like the tale of the two wastelands. how fucking stupid are you
David Jenkins
>the Sup Forums experts in action
screencapped
Dylan Cruz
>physically based rendering What the hell does physics have to do with rendering.
Angel Edwards
It's free on PC, because it's no more impressive than a bunch of mods.
Lincoln White
So wait, hypothetically I could just buy all the DLC without purchasing Skyrim itself and get Skyrim Remastered for free?
Cameron Fisher
The dlc individually cost more than a legendary edition on sale.
Justin Myers
Are you retarded?
Jonathan Butler
And that's pretty much what Todd said to Sessler. Even he admits this thing is just for consoles.
Zachary Evans
I just wanted to know if that was the case for shits and giggles.
Angel James
All the DLC for a 5 year old game that despite what Sup Forums more people enjoyed than disliked.
Also the DLC that is still pretty cheap to pick up and will without a doubt be on the steam summer sale soon.
Jesus you're such a fucking jew.
Daniel Williams
Or if you live in Israel you could just pirate the DLC since they are basically mods
Joshua Brooks
its a new engine, yet its almost the same.
They should had ported/remade oblivion and morrowind in f4 engine too. being able to complete all of the quest with the same character, traveling between provinces would be really cool.
Jace Gutierrez
64 bit and DX11 paves the way for even better looking mods
But they're mainly releasing it for consoles for easy money
Isaiah Reyes
cuz PC modders did all the work for them.
Kayden Flores
Seeing this kind of makes me wish they'd remaster the first 3 Elder Scrolls games into one convenient package.
"Elder Scrolls: Beginnings" or something.
Josiah Wilson
Seriously, You faggots will cry that getting to use more than 4gb of memory is a bad thing? FUcking cyncal fags
Nathan Butler
Why would you want to play Arena, it's not good
William Jenkins
>Also the DLC that is still pretty cheap to pick up and will without a doubt be on the steam summer sale soon.
Except when they do a switcheroo on Legendary edition, into the remaster edition and treat it as it's own title.
Brody Hall
They could always remaster it to be bearable.
Aaron Rodriguez
They are remastering it because it's extremely cost-effective and a guaranteed seller, OP.
Xavier Clark
You mean remake it you stupid fucking American. Learn the goddamn difference between remaster and remake
Josiah Morgan
Arena isn't THAT bad.
It's generic, the story is barely interesting and the movement and combat are slightly atrocious, but it could very well be remastered.
Daggerfall on the other hand is 10/10 perfect as it is, they don't have to do anything to it.
Adrian Reed
There's nothing special about it. Except that technically it's all of Tamriel I guess
Liam Collins
I honestly am happy they do and everyone and their dog has skyrim on fucking steam already so its pretty much just an upgrade
the better ram support etc is probably the best and not the updated vanilla graffix
Luis Howard
Meanwhile on PC
Charles Diaz
That Skyrim is so highly regarded just tells me there's a lot of easily impressed people on this planet, who must be incredibly fucking boring people at that, to be entertained by a product so irredeemably soulless and mediocre.
Camden Wilson
Oh look at mister self aware know it all redditard here.
Go suck Howard's balls dry you faggot.
Luke Cruz
>consolefags have to wait 5 years and spend full retail for mods
loving every laugh
Lincoln Allen
with 9 loaded Ugrids and LOD is still ass even with dyndolod. 64bit will actually let you increase Ugridstoload and have satibilty
Nicholas Butler
>9 loaded Ugrids.
What do finnish people have to do with this?
Julian Hill
>Bethesda >new engine Don't tell me you fell for his lies
Tyler Thompson
we have a product for you, it's called Xbox 360.
John Walker
>stability in a bethesda game suuuure
Jack James
>shadows most likely won't be fixed so that they're done by gpu instead of cpu
Alexander Ramirez
>1 fps
Gavin James
T. a meme connoiseur that does not actually play bethesda games.
Luis Bailey
Huh?
Just get the game and dlc separately, then...?
Hunter Carter
...
Ethan Campbell
>What the hell does physics have to do with rendering.
Over-simplifying here but PBR is just a term for a standardized method for Materials (the relevance there being that a Material designed in Substance Designer or the like will look the same in UE4, Unity, etc)
Noah Ward
>having fallout installed >not launcing skyrim through steam
Thanks for proving me right dickwipe
Angel Sanchez
>Huh? Now that you've already bought the Standard + DLC plus Legendary, just go ahead and buy Remastered + the DLC again
You disgust me
Wyatt Lewis
They started fallout 4 development by porting skyrim to the new consoles. So now they have finsinshed porting it since they decided to sell as to make profit and not let that time porting akyrim to current gen go to wastes.
So it really is just easy money for work they did in modfying the engine they have used since fucking morrowind to sell off to dumb nerds.
Hunter Wilson
You're a bit of a retard, aren't you? Special ed. done early today?
Christopher Butler
Why the fuck would you launch through Steam if you're using Script Extender?
Jace Foster
wat
Isaiah Ramirez
So when is the PC getting the remastered version?
Jonathan Allen
in 2011
Joseph Sullivan
looks shite, mate
Alexander Ramirez
Because it works if steam ingame community is turned on you stupid fucking asswipe
Angel Edwards
Shouldn't you be getting ready for work or something, American?
Jose Gutierrez
cool, could you record it in action?
Luis Miller
...
Henry Sanchez
You stupid fucking whore. You just need one or the other. Base + DLC or Legendary. It's not hard you dumb slut.
Lincoln Martinez
>tfw I can get it free on pc >tfw I'll still buy it on console because console gaming is more comfy
Gavin Martin
>Skyrim remaster Stop calling it a remaster. Not even Bethesda is calling it a remaster.
Thomas Rivera
and also update an entire massive game's worth of art assets as opposed to just re-using the hires texture pack you already have on hand
Jacob Mitchell
I actually thought they just upped the graphics a bit for the new consoles. Didn't really look much different anyway.
Nolan Kelly
Dude chill, not even him, you are wrong, just stop
Ayden Murphy
NEW ENGINE PLUS DX12 PLUS MODS = WHO GIVES A FUCK ANYWAYS
Josiah Sanders
retard maximus
Xavier Collins
I know I'm retarded, but money is no object, it's like a days wages for me.
Owen Robinson
The legebdary edition with all the dlc was like 20 buck a year or two ago that's worth it
Jaxson Nguyen
>same game but ported over to fallout 4's upgraded engine >upgrade is unchanged. in fact its so similar that the saves from the old version should work twitter.com/DCDeacon/status/743170497752371200 It's a remaster fuck off.
Joseph White
Nigga just fucking plug your computer into a TV with a controller. You can have comf + computer + couch
Michael Parker
it's probably to get their team accustomed to making a Skyrim scale game on new console hardware. they're working on TES6, more than likely this is a test run of sorts to see what they'll be able to do and what consoles can't handle.
Blake Torres
These are stable though Fallout 3 and NV had issue same with oblivion Not STALKER issue but still
Jaxson Martinez
>i'm a retard with money you know those poorfucks at the streets asking for money because they burned it in shit? well. enjoy your future
Logan Scott
ES6 is 10 years away, they need quick cash to fund their incompetent development.
