I played the living shit outta that game but after getting into the souls games and The Witcher I'm not sure I can go back unless they added new content, mechanics or a complete graphical overhaul or something I'm not sure I want it. Good for people that do though.

Nah it's pretty shit. You can fight a level 3 Feral Ghoul and a level 71 Charred Feral Ghoul in the same encounter. How does that make any sense. Shooting might feel slightly better then F3 and NV but it still feels far under par then every other FPS game.
Skyrim's still worse tho since you can be slicing through draugrs then get killed by a draugr death skullfucker overlord in one hit and using melee weapons in that feels like swinging around a wet pool noodle

God knows he'd advocate for that.

So you can enjoy it the way you should have been able to with the PS3 version?
I'm still salty about Skyrim PS3, in case anyone couldn't tell.

Never finished the PS3 version because of how poorly optimized it was, so if this time it works I'd be down to revisit it.
I don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you saying that because it's been 5 years ES6 should be ready to go? FO4 just released. It's been long enough that a Remaster for Skyrim makes sense, and it'll tide people over for a year or two (hopefully) until we hear about ES6.

So, can we expect a new TES at E3?

Well, they may not be capable of making another game like Morrowind but I imagine that they manage a small remake of the game. Don't imagine that they'll alter much more than the combat and possibly add perks to the game. As long as they don't start messing around with the level of "freedom" offered by Morrowind the game should be fine. But god help them if they decide to make it so that I can't kill Vivec without doing the main quest at all and other bullshit.

Avoided it as someone with just a PS3. I'd be interested in a remaster for PS4.

Not always you get to be excited for a new Elder Scrolls game. I cherish these moments.

I've got news for you - They would totally do all of the things you don't want them to do. You'd be putting faith in a project for a huge RPG game where the studio has only been reducing the RPG nature in scope to the point where it hardly qualifes as an RPG anymore and thinks that adding a voiced protagonist, poorly implemented building features that serve no purpose and adding a terrible dialogue wheel were good ideas.
Well sure, but that would have been back around 2013. They easily could have upped the resolution to 1080p and released the game on the ps4/xb1 three years ago. But they waited until 2016. And I'm saying they either better account for that in the pricing ($30) or there better be huge improvement in the way the game looks and plays. Like either remaking it using fallout 4 level assets or adding mod support for consoles.
But they won't

You aren't seriously expecting gameplay fixes are you?
you keep saying fallout 4 level assets like fallout is actually a good looking game
Que?

This will probably just be all the DLC + the high quality texture pack DLC from the PC version.
I doubt it gets new content, especially if it's not coming to PC.

Textures are only one thing. There are current-gen tech that TES5 engine doesn't have, plus who knows maybe Beth finally gets PBR working this time.

Skyrim is already hd, has pc mods. They should also port oblivion. I mean beth is doing remasters now, hopefully this is better than dishonored definitive, and includes better textures + fallout 4 lighting and shaders.

Who said they're doing a full new engine overhaul though?

This is clearly aimed at console gamers. The jump from Skyrim on 360/PS3 to the newer hardware could be huge.

I'm counting on the power of laziness to keep Bethesda from fucking up a remake. I believe that Bethesda will put in the smallest amount of effort to polish up Morrowind for "easier" consumption by those used to Skyrim. Combat and possibly perks might be the biggest alterations.
I would love a remake of Daggerfall but that will be an undertaking that I don't see Bethesda working on.
And have a remaster studio put out a higher quality product than they can currently muster? Seems like a good way to ruin an already shaky image.

Has anyone even asked for this? I mean the game ran almost on max settings on my old €590 Notebook I bought back in 2012, so even the console crowd should be able to easily play it on their toaster by now rather than requiring a PS4 version.
If this was a Morrowind or even an Oblivion (or a Fallout New Vegas for that matter) remaster then I'd be on board in a heartbeat, but a remake of a game that came out not even 5 years ago, still looks fine enough and got plenty of mods to make it look even better? Nah.
Of course, this will print the most bucks for the least amount of effort required, so Bethesda's suits will get to laugh maniacally while swimming in pre-order cash.

I'd be interested in this, I never finished the PS3 version due to a bug blocking my ability to finish a main story quest, so I couldn't advance further and didn't feel like starting over after 50+ hours of mostly open world play with a bit of main campaign here and there.
I'd totally be willing to double dip on this and actually try to finish it this time, but I'd probably wait six months until it's patched and ready for prime time. It's a safe bet there will be tons of bugs at launch, this is Bethesda we're talking about.

Somehow I've actually never played this. Just harder to get into WRPGS but I'd dip in if this true
playing through that game for the first time right now, it's great
thinking I should've started on hardcore or maybe a harder difficulty, though, as I'm kinda wrecking fools right now
True, I hadn't thought of that. Hopefully it doesn't screw up their plans then :/
Have you ever play a Bluepoint remaster? There's no doubt in my mind that it would be more technically competent than anything Bethsoft put out in a console, like ever.

It will probably sell very sell so yes, people are asking for this. The version that "looks fine enough and got plenty of mods" is on PC. This is obviously an attempt to target console gamers.
