Original Skyrim 2011 VS Skyrim Anniversary Edition

Comparison video between Skyrim 2011 and Skyrim Anniversary Edition.
These games have ten years difference, how does it show?

Sometimes I wonder why I mod this game. It's already so beautiful

[cristian-gabrielgaldamezbr]

2011 made the outside seem so cold and the interior so warm. Fire glow less in SE. The colors are better in 2011, it's the true Skyrim feeling.

I have to say, i really liked the desaturated green.
I know, i know, it's trendy to throw a tantrum whenever the 7th gen desaturation trend is touched upon, but it was unquestionably right for Skyrim. Can't change my mind.

Only thing that can't be replaced with mods or new releases is the Skyrim world music ❤

I don't know why, but i like more the use of colors in the Original for the most part, there is a gray tone to the game, while the Special Edition is more colorful, i would love to see a mod to SE to bring back the tone of colors more closely to the Original.

SE has the advatange of better performace thanks to 64 bit engine.

thank you for this awesome video
I can see you put much effort on this video editing and I appreciate it

[sirrantsalott]

Thanks for this. Just got the anniversary edition and it’s downloading now. Looking forward to playing this game again for the nth time like the 1st time. Magical.

I remember i wanted to revisit old games then i downloaded the AE version and was confused like something changed cuz it doesnt feel that bad for a 2011 game. Then i found this 😂

Today's high end smartphones can easily maintain this level of graphical fedality it's a shame that we don't get games like this in the mobile but pay to win, gotcha games and fancy dress party games with mmorpg skins

What should I get out of Skyrim special edition or anniversary edition manny thanks to all of you

[TheRealDylanStreets]

I play special edition with legendary weathers w god rays I think that looks the best

New SE graphical features + Oldrim color pallet I love it

[makkrohero]

Oldrim still holds up graphically tbh. Crazy to think it’s almost 13 years old.
Man….. Skyrim is the goat

[codafett]

I love that the official Special Edition incorporates so much fan made content. Bethesda got the community to make all their extra content for them lol.

[AdrianRund]

The more I look at it the more vanilla looks better than anniversary XD see what gaming culture has done?! Fog has to be so much hick you can cut it with a sword, godrays so vibrant they blind your vision. Grass so wavy and animated it no longer looks realistic but has a higher polygon count 😂😂😂 shifting to a darker notebook: my brother passed away, he played a kajit on vanilla Skyrim on console. I think I’m going to play a vanilla run in his memory as neither of us beat the main quest.. rest in peace brother we will always be together in nirn 😢

I have the old skyrim version and i kinda dunno whether i should spend the 17€ (on sale) for the skyrim Special edition+anniversary upgrade or just stick to the classic vanilla edition that bethseda unlisted from steam store.
Bethseda really makes me feel like im missing out on the new edition of skyrim and have given me high hopes for it, but i can just imagine being let down as soon as i play a couple of hours, after realizing that its exactly the same, but better looking, with newly added content, quests and some other absolute meaningless artefacts, what do i know. So if anyone could enlighten, convince or retain me from buying it, i would appreciate the feedback

[Raining_V]

They made the game perfect. Like event each dungeon is another world

It appears Anniversary Edition doesn't have dynamic shadows.
No, it does. Just harder to see.

[bitsbrainsandbeanies]

Meanwhile you can mod it into territory that will make an RTX 4090 skip a beat.

You would think they could’ve stepped it up a little more considering it’s the 3rd generation of console it releases on, and our phones today are capable of more than the tech at the time was capable of.

[rducsfi]

instead of adding more geometry and terrain details they just change lighting color and added some volumetric fog

[jarlairess]

Funny that music at 1:56 reminds me of LOTR
