When Bethesda announced Skyrim: Special Edition a couple of weeks ago during E3 2016, we have to say that from the trailer itself it looked amazing and definitely looked nothing like the original game. Then again this was meant to be a remaster and it looks like Bethesda had remastered the heck out of it.
However it turns out that’s not the extent of the changes they have made. Speaking to IGN, Bethesda’s Pete Hines said, “We haven’t really gotten into the full, ‘Here’s all the things that we’re doing,’ but the basic idea is, in all the ways possible we’re trying to improve it and make it as next-gen and appropriate for these consoles as possible. So, performance, or effects, or whatever we can do to make the game look and feel better, we’re going to give it a go.”
Hines was also asked about loading times on Twitter to which he replied by saying, “I think we’d like to improve performance in all areas. I haven’t been timing load times to compare.” Skyrim: Special Edition will be released this coming October where it will be playable on the PC, Xbox One, and the PS4. It will also come with all the DLCs that have been released for the game to date. In the meantime if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you can watch it above around the 3:18 mark.
