I'm in, I didn't get playing it much on 360 at the time.

Bethesda asked themselves what they could do to avoid having to build a new engine for another year, and this was the answer.
That's exactly my point. Bethesda would come out looking bad, not Bluepoint.

Eh, id pass on this. Modded Skyrim on PC would most likely shit all over any remaster anyway. However, something like Morrowind or Daggerfall id be down for a remaster.

1. You say "did anyone ask for this" and then proceed to say it will print money.. So obviously, the people buying it en mass, asked for it.
2. There were no mods for the console versions to make them look better.
3. A half decade with a generational leap inbetween is plenty enough reason for a remaster. Hell, the GTAV remaster was great, and only like a year out from the original.
4. Not everyone played it back then, and those who did may not want to keep their old consoles plugged in, or may want to experience it at higher fidelity, or with mods.
Honestly, people are having a hard time just seperating "I don't personally want thing" with "How could anyone possibly want thing!?"
It's silly.

This will make me buy this game for a third time. I love this game so much. Take my money.
Oh, you're right.
I misread, no lies detected.

If this happens, I'll be irrationally angry. The fact that there are people in this world who will buy Skyrim three times is one thing, but not remastering Morrowind or even Oblivion is sonething else entirely. Give Morrowind the same shitty combat system as Skyrim and people will buy it like hotcakes on a day where hotcakes are much cheaper than regular.
I mean... compared to skyrim?

New Vegas will likely be Backwards Compatible. Not sure if you consider that "love" but at least its something I guess
VVardenfell is coming to TESO.

Can you imagine how crazy that'd be?
If some studio, with no AAA games of their own or original AAA development experience to speak of, were given Bethesda's in house tools to produce a game in one of their storied franchises, and somehow put out a far better game than Bethesda could?
I can't even imagine that.

Bethesda doesn't make red dead.
No thanks, I already modded it up the wazoo on PC to look better than any possible remaster. Hope they announce more. If they were doing a remake/master, would have been cool to see them go back to Morrowind/Oblivion. Should be cool for people that haven't played it or only played the broken PS3 version I suffered through at release.

Has happened. Won't happen again.
I've still got high hopes for Elder Scrolls moving forward, though. Fallout's dead to me.
I'd probably re-buy it on PC if it was on a better, more stable engine somehow... reworking things to fix the big flaws that the modders exposed in terms of memory management and whatnot. Support for existing mods is a must, though. Vanilla Skyrim is something I can't play anymore.

This would be great. I never got very far in the game, and was thinking recently about playing it now that I just built my own PC. This would be perfect timing if it comes in the next few months!

Played 150+ hours on ps3 at release and... nope. Skyrim has aged horribly. This could be free and I wouldn't waste the HD space. Also Bethesda needs to go learn how to make a decent game. So many devs in just the past few years have made them look like crap.
It's probably at least a fork of FO4 build which has some current-gen features sans PBR.
Doubtful this looks better than a modded Skyrim with a good ENB.

To me, this game is smoke and mirrors, abosulely zero interest in retreading it.

A bummer if true, was hoping for something new..... I mean with pc mods Skyrim is old news now, especially if you are looking at a "remaster" with some slight technical upgrades.
I mean the only thing that'd make it worthwhile is if they moved it to a new engine, but after Fallout 4 I don't see that happening.

If this ever happens I would hope improvements from Fallout 4 are implemented like hair physics, better looking faces, textures, and lighting effects.

They makes zero sense. After 3 or so hours I would have pulled the plug and deleted the game.
not everybody who enjoyed skyrim modded it to hell and back on PC. or got to play it on a PC that wasn't a potato
my guess is bethesda ran a build of the "remaster" as a test for fallout 4 and said what the hell lets just go whole hog with this. not like it didn't sell 30 million copies to begin with

I could see a graphically improved Skyrim (more than resolution or fps) easily selling millions like Gtav did. But where would the (probably inevitable) PC version be left if this new version had better features than vanilla? Would everyone stick to modding the original game or shift?

I'll probably buy it, especially if it includes all the DLC, as I never bought them the first time.
The music in Skyrim is sublime. Nothing beats adventuring out in the wilderness with that music to accompany you.

Some people spend tons of time doing meth... doesn't mean it's good. It's addictive and was good at the time. It's crap now. It's like Motorola coming back out with an old flip phone. Let it die and step it up Bethesda. They been living in the past for too long.
I'm sure Skyrim will sell. I get it. But I don't think it's any good.

It's pretty clear that just about every tentpole AAA release (and more than a few also-rans) from last-gen will get a "remaster" by the time this generation's over. Easy money.
