The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition Review - (PlayStation Universe)

PSU reviews Skyrim Special Edition on PS4 to discover what's new in Bethesda's epic RPG.

I have viewed several PS4 Skyrim videos and the images look to have a soft blur and yellow tint. One video did side by side comparison between original pc and the PS4 version where the pc version looked sharp while the PS4 version in all outside scenes looked blurry with yellow tint and or overdone godrays. The PS4 version had more grass but it looked yellow and blurry.

Even with excellent fps and no crashing i don't want to play a yellow tinted blurry game.

There's a mod that fixes that yellow tint caused by the god rays.. I'm using that right now actually.. ; ) it's not blurry at all.. Except for certain textures up close..

@psplova,

That is good news, but disabling that awful tint should be in the game settings menu. Maybe the annoying blur i see is the dynamic dof the game has been reported to have and can be disabled through mod or settings menu? Disabled so the world looks like it does with normal vision.

I like the tint, but that's just personal preference. But yes, the blur is dynamic DOF which has a slider in the options menu.

Happy that the new consoles get to experience a better Skyrim, however I'm just sticking with the original on PC version (mods need to be redone for a 64bit exe on the special edition). So being interested in the new release, it sparked an interest to play again. I found an awesome 450+ mod compilation "The Journey" that after a relatively quick and painless installation, it's running rock solid.

actually almost all mods that don't use BSA or SKSE work. I've been ddownloading tons of original mods and manually adding them. I'm having a blast so far and the game looks better than the original skyrim even with mods. Not only that, but I've had only one crash in 30 hours of playtime and that was due to a mod loading.

Actually if you use the BSA unpacker that was updated for SSE you can unpack the original mods from OG Skyrim and still use them as loose files if they haven't been converted. Not going to say every single mod ever made will work, but every mod I've wanted that wasn't converted worked by unpacking :)
