that seems to be part of the rumor - it will include console mods.
I said before in a prior thread/post that maybe one reason why Bethesda held off on a Skyrim remaster for so long was to see how console mods would fare with Fallout 4.
and now that has rolled out on the X1 ( and soon on PS4 ), Beth is ready to unveil the Skyrim remaster.
I hope it does include console mods, because that would be a key selling point to drawing people back into a 5 year old game.
Yeah...honestly, I am not one to buy remastered games. I am not going to throw down money for something I already own. If I want to play Skyrim, I can just plug in my PS3. A graphics boost from PS3 quality to PS4 quality is not a big enough jump to get me to rebuy it. The only way I buy remastered games is if it is so substantial that it is essentially a remake of a game that is so aged that it is noticeable while you play it (for example, Skyrim still looks amazing and does not fall into that category, but if Morrowind were rebuilt with Skyrim quality graphics or even Oblivion...I would buy that in a heartbeat). Alternatively, I would buy a remastered game if it offered new content, such as the ability to mod it, or some new DLC/additions.
Part of me wishes it were Oblivion that was being remastered. I never played the DLC of Oblivion, I think the change of quality would be more substantial, and not all of the Oblivion DLC was released on the PS3 version. Including just that, not even the ability to mod, in an HD remake would be enough for me to reinvest in that. Unfortunately, Bethesda seems content to just forget Oblivion ever existed.
I would love to see both games get an HD remaster. But to do so would take such an immense amount of time and resources. Frankly, I'd kinda rather see all efforts directed toward TESVI than any HD remaster, even with modding capabilities.
You could mod the spiders to be much bigger and more numerous, and to auto-spawn in your house.
You know, when I play Skyrim, I live in apprehension, every time I enter a village or house that I know to be safe, that the game will glitch (Bethesda games are notoriously buggy after all) and there will be a big ass frostbite spider waiting for me inside.
