The Elders Scroll's Skyrim - Xbox 360, Ps3 & PC comparison

Skyrim got a vast world with great graphics and gameplay. But how does it compare in between the platforms? Youtube user Robbaz give us the answer.

Good comparison.

PC version is top dog as expected, but the consoles more than hold their own. The PS3 version has better shadows than the 360 version for sure, but the 360 version has slightly better textures. All in all the game looks amazing on all 3.

PC Version clearly looks sharper and more detailed of the bunch. In comparison both the console versions look a bit blurry, textures dont seem as detailed.

Whats cool is PC version can be maxed out on a GTX 275 which is about 3 years old now.

Also its not just about the graphics, PC version easily runs at 60fps. Lastly this isnt the end for the PC version, console versions will remain stagnant from a graphics perspective, Mods will only make PC better overtime.

Are you trying to sell me a copy of the pc version? Because I already got a 360 version.

frostypants4963d ago (Edited 4963d ago )

Console version can be played on a big screen TV without forfeiting your dignity.

Iroquois_Pliskin4963d ago (Edited 4963d ago )

lol ps3 HAS the upper hand on the textures. Something is wrong with this comparison.

A tip dont watch this comparison in Full HD because its upscaled and looks like sh*t

heres a better side-by-side comparison:

But we are missing the big picture here.It's still the same game we are playing.You think just because the shadow looks slightly better that it makes the game better? C'mon people lets not miss the big picture.

Kran4963d ago (Edited 4963d ago )

When you watch it, the PC version looks tonnes better than the 360. When you look at PS3 turning into 360, so much seemed to change around 1:03. For the better of course.

meant2live344963d ago

I have to disagree. The PS3 version looked slightly better than the Xbox360 version. Having said that, I don't really care because I'm playing it on PC :)

Chuk54963d ago

@live
You can see that 360 version has sharper textures. Especially when you watch the video in hd.

meant2live344959d ago

@Chuk5 Now that I look closer, you're right. It's just that the shadows seem to look better on PS3. But no matter, I'm rockin' the PC for this game :)

burgerman4963d ago

The differences are so small. I expected a lot better on the PC. It doesn't matter what system you get it for.

bumnut4963d ago (Edited 4963d ago )

I have the PC version and some of the textures are not far off PS1 quality.

The moss on the rocks near the start of the game is terrible.

Great game though, ES games have never been about amazing visuals.

A-Glorious-Dawn4963d ago

yeah I went for PC for the mods, and 60 fps is a bug plus IMO

lastdual4963d ago

Looks like Bethesda actually did a great job on every platform.

neonlight454963d ago

I was watching this and then the gameplay just got so awesome that I forgot about graphics.

MS could compress their games on disc

raWfodog29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.

jznrpg18d ago

Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim

ActualWhiteMan28d ago

Yeah totally. Definitely won’t be hacking it Nintendo 🤞🏻

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast56d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic56d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee57d ago

Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time

TheColbertinator56d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast56d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
