Anyone planning on getting the remastered Skyrim who played the original? I've never re played a game before and i put a lot of hours into skyrim, just not sure how much i will enjoy it when ive done it all before. It does however look incredible. Im presuming there is no new game play included?

It doesn't look that much different to me. I just finished the original a few weeks ago. At least I think I did. My main criticism of the game is that it just sort of peters out as you gradually run out of things to do, and so you end up with a really powerful character with loads of great abilities, long after there's anything important to do. That and the writing is shit. Good game, but massively overrated imo.
 
Looking forward to the remaster tbh. The mods alone will make it a huge improvement for those of us who's computer struggles to run even 10 year old games. The graphics are clearly a lot better and I never bought the expansions, so those alone probably make up the £30 it will cost to by the remastered version. My other half has been playing through Skyrim again over the past few months and it's been eating at me, it's an itch that needs scratching ASAP

Reading the comments on that video, it seems like the remaster is for the console version and the PC version was modded a long time ago. Perhaps that's why I didn't notice a difference, because I've already got the one with updated graphics?

I think from memory i preferred Oblivion as the main story line in Oblivion seemed much more fundamental to the game which Skyrim didnt have. I loved Skyrim for its atmosphere and landscape and sheer size, but if i remember rightly (its probably 5 years when it came out) the main story drifted and like you say the game petered out a bit. I loved all the guilde side of it and some of the side missions, much more than say Witcher 3. Also thought the way you build your charachter and aromour / weapons was much better than Witcher 3. Some of these games though do tend to blend into one another.

Graphics wise the PC version is a bit redundant as everyone has modded it to the same level already, but for consoles it's a huge difference. Same goes for the mods, they'll make a huge difference for console gamers but are already available on PC. I'm pretty sure the remastered version is free for PC owners as they'd have a tough time selling it, as I don't see much it offers that can't just be done yourself
 
Playing Battlefield 1 on PC and wow they have nailed the atmosphere of the war. You really feel like you're fighting in the trenches with shells going off a few feet away from you.
 
Skyrim is one my top 5 favourite games ever played it and beet the game 3 times. Not sure yet if I'm going to get the remastered version just because I played it to death and wont be owt new to me only the picture quality. Plus 40+ quid is a bit steep, if I do get it be in the sale probably.

Best game I've played on the PS4 ever. Got 40 hours on it already.
 
I'm tempted by BF1. BF4 was the only shooter i've been able to get into. I like that there are additional roles to play even if you aren't the best at shooting - great way to still contribute even if you're getting a bumming.

I'll also be after the Skyrim remaster - I put 120+ hours into one character and aside from the slight detriment to my degree, I don't regret it at all.

Surprised that there aren't more Dark Souls fans on here.
 
I was a massive BF2 player on PC, in a clan league and all sorts. As I grew up and had less time to sit plugged into a PC, I moved to console only, and have never been any good at FPS with a controller.

That said, BF1 worth a go is it? @SWP's back I know you love it as everytime I sign in, you're on
