So it's really going to happen then? lol

Neonridr2486d ago (Edited 2486d ago )

what rock have you been hiding under? What, you just thought the E3 demonstration by Bethesda was a trick or something?

nitus102486d ago (Edited 2486d ago )

Of course, it is happening. Skyrim is an old game (11th November 2011) and was designed to run on older hardware with less technical specs than the Nintendo Switch.

From what I can gather the Switch is getting the version that ran on the PS3 or the XBox360 except it will scale from 720p (handheld mode) to 1080p in the dock.

As most people here know Skyrim is a huge game and you could spend hundreds of hours (especially with the DLC) although depending on the difficulty you set or change on the fly you could reduce the main campaign to about 30 or 40 hours (speed running being the exception). Still, the game IMHO is best played on a decent sized screen but if people want to play using a small screen (6.2 inches) then that is up to them.

Nintentional2485d ago

it's the remastered edition 🤦🏻‍♂️ Not the older PS360 version.

What you gathered is wrong.

How many more times do we need to buy this to show them that we want TESVI >.< I'm with everyone else, this is just beating a dead horse.

FullmetalRoyale2485d ago

I don't disagree. But if you had told me back when it released that I'd see it fully playable on a portable, I wouldn't believe you. If I hadn't bought Skyrim on PS4, and had a Switch, this would be a day one for me.

Next up, Skyrim toilet paper with instructional "shouts" to empty your pipes.

nitus102486d ago (Edited 2486d ago )

Well said but please no "I took an arrow in the knee". 😎

zivtheawesome2486d ago

after seeing this i am pretty sure that it is standard edition and not the special edition. expected but still.

GameBoyColor2486d ago

Looks in between graphical wise. All the dlc is included though and no mods.

Summons752486d ago

Pretty sure it's the Special Edition. Everywhere is reporting it as such and I saw a few reports saying Bethesda themselves confirmed it. As long as it comes with all the DLC (which it does) I don't really care.

_-EDMIX-_2485d ago (Edited 2485d ago )

No it's not

if it was ever the special edition Bethesda would have specifically said so why would they not advertise their game to be that version? Because of the switches power limitations it's not going to be running at the same thing PS4 and Xbox One was running at.

we're literally looking at the official website and it states nothing about being the special edition in fact they go out of their way to remove all the same wording on the official Nintendo switch Skyrim page, yet that's on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One official websites regarding special edition or enhanced graphical features and elements.

http://www.nintendo.com/gam...

I see no special edition.

Stop lying please.

https://www.microsoft.com/e...

So it's your hearsay with no link and no evidence versus the official pages....

Surrrrre

Gemmol2486d ago

Open your eyes, if you can't see its better than normal then you need help.

_-EDMIX-_2485d ago

I mean I would have to see a direct feed in order to even tell if it was slightly better than the normal version.

Everything that I'm seeing so far looks like the vanilla version last generation.

I need to see more but it wouldn't surprise me if it's simply somewhere in between especially considering they're being very careful on how they word this version

nowhere on any of the official pages from the company ever States Special Edition and they actually take out the wording regarding enhanced graphical elements.

Yup, it's official. FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth didn't sell as much as they expected.

gold_drake2h ago

read the report, where exactly does it say what u just said ? lol

Barlos1h ago

It's your interpretation. That doesn't make it 'official'.

CrashMania3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Hopefully the next Nintendo system isn't a potato and it can contribute to FF sales in future as well, in addition to PC releases. If this ensures the long term health for SE and franchises than like FF and KH then I'm all for it.

NotoriousWhiz2h ago

Adding Nintendo and PC customers is the best way to increase sales and long term success. Not going to get that from Xbox.

Hofstaderman2h ago

Will there be a XBOX for Square to release games on? Or a MS Games service?

thesoftware73040m ago

Hof,

You must not have heard they are launching new hardware and have already committed to a Next-Gen Xbox.

But, for some reason, I think you already knew that and wanted to spin a silly narrative; besides, why wouldn't they release games on the SX/SS? You do know these consoles will still be here, right?

Relientk772h ago

Please tell me the Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is still coming. I feel like I've been waiting forever for that game.

Charal2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Another sign that dedicated consoles market is in trouble, while PC seems more and more attractive to big publishers.

Having a good gaming PC and a PS5 myself, given current trend form both Sony and MS I am less and less playing on PS5, waiting for exclusives to release on PC, so I understand the logic behind the new strategy.

anast1h ago

Post those numbers. Then your comment might make sense.

thesoftware73020m ago(Edited 19m ago)

Ants,

I get that we don't know exactly without numbers, but come on, man, we can clearly see what's happening.

The console market has not grown much, the highest-selling console in history is still the PS2. You can play the " prove it" game all you want, but Sony's more aggressive PC push, SE completely rebooting their company/business, after being mainly exclusive to one console and showing a sizeable profit loss is telling.

PC is a high seller, and your doubtful PS5 dominant stance does not change the clear writing on the wall, straight from Sony's mouth, that they need to be, and will be more aggressive in the very lucrative PC market.

So, in other words, PC market is indeed looking more and more attractive to Pubs.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k413h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

Profchaos4h ago

Pretty much no game in Bethesda stables makes cod numbers instantly even fallout 4 Bethesda's best selling game sold 12 million at launch and over the next 10 years climbed to over 32 which cod would do rapidly

CrimsonWing6912h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex12h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos11h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga22h ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

XiNatsuDragnel1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

ravens521d 2h ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_21h ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

KwietStorm_BLM21h ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka5h ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_21h ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
