Damn the difference at 2:18 is actually huge

What a lazy remaster. Hardly looks any different. You are better off modding the original.

[mufasathelion]

It looks like the only things they changed are the brightness and the trees...

[Hotshots]

so they gave you a game with Shaders updated from 2.0 to 4.0... GG 200% profit on the same game

I'm so bad at noticing the differences in these videos, the only thing that stood out to me was the change in contrast.

[farmerfrugal]

lighting, shadows, foliage, draw distance, and water are better. the textures are a slight upgrade but it's nothing drastic. luckily it's 64bit instead of 32bit so the mods will be significantly better and probably way more optimized for SSE. i still love it though!

Thank god I got this for free on PC the most laziest remaster I've ever seen hardly any difference at all.

[TheHaloGamer]

The difference is a lot more noticeable in person, however, still insignificant.

[FrancoisRoy]

That's the most embarrassing non-remaster of all time. It's kind of crazy that they gave it away on PC yet are charging the full premium price for the console version..

Got this for free for having all the DLCs and Base Game on PC. If anything, this remaster provides a new foundation for Mods moving forward and less on improving the Skyrim experience since Nexus and Steam Workshop already have tons of mods that do that already.

[NostalgiaPS]

The texture mods in Original is much better than this remaster

[aldol]

ok ill just put the brightness up on my monitor

[theogrima]

who else got the feels from playing the special edition after not touching skyrim for ages?

[sebby_vtr]

The thing that most changed are the system requirements

[caljohn]

Reminds me of when they fucked up.. I mean.. remastered Bioshock.

[caljohn]

Those stone walls in the opening sequence looks so much better than the "remastered" version.

[Daviddv]

I would easily forgive if there was no extra quests but I was at least expecting a change in the lip syncing.

[sergarlantyrell]

They should have just incorporated some of the best mods into the game as standard and called it a day and people would have loved it.

[charvelgtrs]

Obviously the current gen consoles will be seeing a bigger boost with the remasters compared to the PS3/360 vs the PC version compared to the original PC release.

Mostly stuff just looks brighter but there is more vegetation and the lights shafts coming through the trees makes a significant difference.
