Kinda makes you forget that there was only a 5 year gap between Oblivion and Skyrim. And 4 year gap between Morrowind and Oblivion. Now we are going +10years with Skyrim.
Who says we needs another elder scrolls. They probably bored developing es games for 15 years after skyrim and wanted to do some new stuff like starfield
TESXXX will have released and people will still be going back to Skyrim. Imagine the lewd mods for this game in 1000 years. We'd have been extinct by then and octopi would be playing it, but there'd still be plenty of mods to suit their needs, I'm sure.
And I gladly play them all, this is like one of the best games ever made! The story, the setting, the voice overs are just on top! even over recent games nothings compares. For me it has a special place in my heart, so yeah let’s go another 10 years
@@Foggy_2806 elder scrolls games are best ever, I play almost 20 year old Morrowind on series X and it plays amazing, no load times. What games do you like? Pokémon and karate kicker games?
It's also worth mentioning that running the native PS5 app will save you about 15GBs in comparison to the PS4 app. The reason why, is because Sony's backwards compatibility solution creates some chunky files that are needed to emulate the PS4 apps, those files will be labelled as "Other" in your storage management screen, and you can't access the folder. That's a huge plus, since we only have 600GB to work with.
@@IllusiveDev they didn't design the ps4 with forward compatibility in mind that's why. The Xbox works perfectly with it becuase it's modified windows. Not like every application in the world breaks on a new version of windows
Suppose in 10 years CP2077 might have most bugs ironed out. Skyrim over the last decade seems to fluctuate between a game with bugs and bugs that just happen to have a game too. Tom will be suffering forever, poor guy.
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has sold over 30 million copies. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion never even hit 10 million sales. Though the upgrades have been plentiful except for Special Edition on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 they have been free upgrades.
ICYMI Oblivion just got patched with FPS Boost on Series X/S. Now the game finally runs at 60fps on top of the 4K resolution boost it got on the One X.
Free upgrade to PS5 version was nice. Wasn’t expecting that. Really loving Skyrim on the PS5. Just picked one up recently and decided to give Skyrim a try. Old save loaded right up no issues. Just had to download my mods but that only took seconds. The new 2 second load times into zones make everything so much smoother. Basically I didn’t have to pay anything and got a great upgrade in overall performance and appearance. Very happy with it so far.
Yes you get the upgrade for free, but the Anniversary Edition content has to be bought separately, and the game will pester you on the main menu screen forever until you buy it, and it will add at least 5 to 10 seconds to your initial menu load depending on how long the game takes to check the internet for whether you own the added content or not and display the pester message.
@@pulseofme6884 , Uh, HOW would you get the upgrade if you don't have an Internet connection? Just FYI, the "AE" edition is just the "SE" version but with CC downloads. I bought the upgrade and on restarting it just downloaded all the Creation Club content automatically before I was allowed to continue to the main menu. I'm seeing no added delay to launch the game though. The game didn't look any better because it's just extra armor options etc... I had a clean install of SE (then upgraded to AE) but I promptly reinstalled all my mods. So the AE version is rather pointless if you already mod unless there's some quest DLC you like that's in AE only. Also... I unchecked AMBIENT OCCLUSION as it was giving odd shadow textures on characters necks and under their arms. It's in the unmodded SE/AE versions. No idea if that's new but I never noticed it until recently. None of my mods got rid of it. Only unchecking it in game settings.
"It's been 10 years since Skyrim was released. And with 7 different releases afterwards, we dive into the 8th and most recent to see if this truly is the best Skyrim ever,"
the game plays so well on Series S. the short load times really help with the immersion and flow of the game and makes for such an enjoyable experience. locked 60 FPS is so smooth!
@@Tuxxxido 60 fps alone makes any game feel so much better. I got so used to 30 fps that when i finally got my ps5 and played games in 60 i was genuinely amazed.
“Its has already been ten years and a lot has changed” they really havent. The legendary, special and anniversary editions are just more of the same thing with new fluff with each re-release. The game plays and feels today exactly how it did back in 2011
People really need to stop counting the legendary edition as one of the money grabbing constant releases, it’s literally just the regular game but with the dlc. It’s like any of the other countless games that get a game of the year edition or whatever with the dlc bundled together. Nobody counts the goty edition of Arkham city as “another rerelease”
Yeah, so awesome that Skyrim still uses the same old terrible menu system and most likely still has no (official) option to change field of view on PC. Incredible release.
You should really be blaming every other studio that haven’t been able to challenge it in this genre. Why would Bethesda rush to create a new game when they have basically 0 competition.
@@ThaMobstarrJRPGs are a different genre and Obsidian hardly deserves to be on that list anymore. CDPR and BioWare are fair but they don’t really offer the same open ended experience.
its crazy it took this long to get a 60fps console version of skyrim. actually a really strong example of how anemic the last gen (ps4/xbone) consoles were in terms of cpu horsepower
I think its more of a lazy developer problem. There's no way that a PS3 game requires a PS5 to run at 60fps. Look at the recent GTA remasters. PS2 games running at 20-30 fps on a PS5. Ridiculous.
Yeah but you couldn’t tell them Ps4 and Xbox one were meager upgrades when they launched without pissing everyone off 😂 I was calling them Ps3.5 and Xbox 360.5 from the start
Here are all the versions of Skyrim: Skyrim for Xbox 360 Skyrim for PS3 Skyrim for PC Skyrim Game of the Year edition Xbox 360 Skyrim Game of the Year edition PS3 Skyrim Game of the Year edition PC Skyrim Special edition Xbox One Skyrim Special edition PS4 Skyrim Special edition PC Skyrim Switch Skyrim VR Skyrim Very Special Edition for Alexa Skyrim Anniversary Edition Xbox Series Skyrim Anniversary Edition PS5 Skyrim Anniversary Edition PC There are now a total of 15 different versions of Skyrim
Yeah, but think about what you said, 10yrs old, and still yet a new port. For every person that paid 60bucks way back when or just now picking it up. Could you imagine taking your date out for dinner for 60bucks and 10yrs later, they keep getting better looks and performance wise, all because you spend 60bucks 10yrs ago. All good games should be doing this practice...
the engine is old and not very good. it probably wouldn't support this stuff by default and would take time and effort to implement but this is just a free upgrade not a real next gen port so it's not worth their time
since microsoft bought the developer of course they give the xbox version more features. Sadly this is porbaly the last Bethesda work we will see on the sony consoles
@@aaronquarles3902 actually the lack of "feature" on ps5 is the result of Sony's rules about modding unfortunately. And the dynamic res comes from the One X version, Bethesda didn't bother upgrading it
It is such a shame that a masterpiece like Skyrim did not get more love from Bethesda, why is it that machines like the Ps5 and series X do not run at maximum pc settings let alone not being a locked 60 when these machines outclass those pc requirements? Adding insult to injury is the fact that many mods now no longer work, thanks Bethesda!
Because their pc requirements are out of date/irrelevant and their engine is shit so running above 60fps can result in issues like broken physics(pc has a fix for that but you need to maintain high framerate, which these shit consoles can't do even at 60) and possibly scripts(also tied to framerate).
If you use the right mods you will be very impressed by how good it looks. I’m currently running mods that cover pretty much every aspect of the visuals and sound, and some gameplay mods. It feels like the game I always imagined it to be years ago, but it is soooo much better. Even on console the mod community is very helpful and I went from a complete novice to feeling like I have 100+ mod load out dialed in thanks to other people being being nice enough to offer advice.
@@SLX25 Yes it did, on PS5 before the AE update you could use Wrighton's 60fps mod to get THE SAME performance as demonstrated by DF, in addition there were mods that enhanced FOV scale and detail level LOD also by Wrighton but those are now nonfunctional which for me meant that Bethesda's update broke my game because the mods were suddenly no longer compatible and my save game was reliant on them resulting in giant holes in the world and other weirdness forcing a new game. On top of that because the aforementioned mods no longer work it also means far more LOD pop-in and a more narrow field of view with the only actual benefit being faster loading, which granted is nice but for me at least it is ultimately not worth it. To make things worse Wrighton has tried to fix the mods but Bethesda did something to Skyrim AE that has made .INI injection non functional which means that unless Bethesda fixes the issue which I fear they will that means that none of this will EVER work again, Skyrim AE should have been optional that would have solved everything.
Texture mods are still needed to bring it to a modern visual level, but I was disappointed to find there's still stuttering and frame rate drops when those mods are installed. 60fps unlocked, faster loading times - that's really the only thing we're getting. Would have liked to have seen keyboard and mouse functionality enabled, too.
This is Why i bought Skyrim on PC cause all these years later and the original PC version with Mods is still better then anniversary edition and cheaper to.
I haven’t noticed a lot of frame rate issues due to texture mods. Grass mods seem to be the only things that causes me problems. What texture mods are you using?
There's frame rate drops with the vanilla version with no mods. I experienced stutter and frame rate drops in and around Falkreath during a dragon battle.
The FPS mod also had an FOV version, which is broken now and I'm just stuck at 55 fov, I feel like Bethesda just doesn't want us too happy so they can later go "Hey look, our Centennial Edition of Skyrim gets FOV slider on Xbox OX"
It's Bethesda. In 6 months they will release an "Ultimate Anniversary Edition" or something and then THAT will become the "Ultimate way to play Skyrim". the only thing that's been beaten to death more is possibly GTAV.
YES! This is exactly what I wanted! :D I can't wait for next year's Skyrim to come out! Maybe we'll get lucky enough to get a limited edition scratch and sniff sticker on the game case or something equivalent that really changes up the gameplay experience or something as equally as cutting edge! Oooooohhh the possibilties!
As a Series X owner, the dynamic res was the absolute best news. Both boost and the 60 fps mod dropped too much in dense forests and other places and made the experience choppy and annoying. And it also created tree branch flickering.
@@joshikus Good question. I guess If the anniversary is avaivable on GP then: Yes. I'd be surprised if it's not, since the acquisition of Bethesda by Microsoft. I haven't got around to upgrade my special ed yet.
@@pixeljauntvr7774 Then I understand the confusion. Try to upgrade I guess. If it works it works. Or google around first. Sry guys. I had a physical copy.
The game is amazing! Really enjoying it with mods on the PS5! Bought it also for PC (like 7 years ago) in a steam sale but only played it 10 mins 😅 but now it's one of my favorite games. I really love the NPC which all have their own Life with work/eating/sleeping and the incredible atmospheric environment 😍
Remember when Phil Spencer, promised us all the MOST powerful console? 'Cause of 2 Terraflops. Even after the Devs got the "updated" SDKs we still aren't seeing gains, over 1 year after launch. WTF happened Phil Spencer?? Is it true or is it Used car salesman BS you are feeding us?!?!?!
So PS5 runs at a higher resolution and has faster loading and similar performance to Series X. I wasnt expecting that as Bethesda is a Microsoft studio now.
As a PC player; NPC render distance is quite horrible on PS5, they appear way to close and the landscape looks empty/dead while running around. Hope there will be a mod for that.
Off topic: DF; suggest do monthly videos with short updates about games which where reviewd by DF at launch and issues where found but later fixed by the developers. There are plenty examples of games which run bad at launch, get a critical review from DF but later problems where solved. But the bad review stays untouched on RUclips. The majority of the gamers won't buy games at launch but wait until the game gets cheaper. At that time the DF review is not reliable anymore. Don't get me wrong, I love what DF is doing but when you adres issues please also share updates when issues are solved. I'm aware DF post small notes on social media about fixes but would it be great to have a monthly video about this, it's also more fair towards devs and potential buyers of the game who can choose for which platform they want to buy a certain game.
Very time consuming unfortunately - there's a balance between covering more games and covering games that should have got it right first time around. I think if DF was to do that, they should only do it minimum 6 months after a game releases; publishers and devs should not be allowed to get away with releasing unoptimised garbage when just 15 years ago, releasing a broken game meant you couldn't patch anything and your game simply died. Customers should stop being beta testers.
@@tobzdaman619 You do have a good point. And I totally agree. But the reality is that we are living in 2021 and not 2005 anymore. Game dev companies will not change there way because of our opinion. They need to make money so games will get rushed and get patched later.
Not necessarily, the SX got a res bump to 1440p. and the both series consoles and the PS5 got native 60 FPS. Yes it was the very least they could do but technically can still can hold up in the court of law as much as "it just works" did.. Lol
NOTE: After playing vanilla Skyrim again on my XSS (On the adversary edition) the game doesn't always run at 60fps, when there are heavy or lots of particles, the game may run at 40fps, and ESPECIALLY in the Dawnguard Black-Soul gem map, the game fluctuates between 20-60 fps depending on where you're at. I just had to note this with my experience. Before this never used to happen, even on the FPS boosted mode, and even on the Xbox one too. This version has shown the most amount of frame dips I've seen.
@@infinitysynthesis Do you also install texture overhauls like the Graphics Pack? For some reason this mod seems to be very conflicting and causing me issues
@@Ozzianman , I can vouch for ELFX. Great mod! I went with the option that was darker than vanilla but not the darkest for interiors. May want even darker with a good HDR screen, I don't know. It really helped make everything pop a bit more, especially with all my other HD texture mods.
Unpopular opinion but I've been playing this in ps5 and I'm absolutely loving it. In such a dissapointing time for gaming it's nice to go back to a classic in 4k 60fps. Genuinely feels much more fun to play.
Tom well, as much as I don't enjoy this game anymore...stretching assets optimized for 1080p to 4k looks awful imo. But this game has great music which no game really has matched in 10 years. I guess it's better than barfing out half baked buggy games annually to milk a franchise. At least the elder scrolls is not that
XSX is the best version. Far more stable frame rate thanks to DRS with a much better selection of mods. Not surprisingly I guess considering Microsoft now own Bethesda.
With DRS XSX drops to 53fps, at native 4k PS5 drops to 47fps in the SAME area. Everywhere else PS5 is locked to 60fps with native 4k. Not sure how you think one stress area makes XSX "the best version". This is no different than Hitman 3 where XSX had native 4k but had one area where it drops frames while PS5 was locked at 60fps but PS5 was 1800p...except here, even with a lower resolution for XSX it still drops frames in the same area that PS5 does. Why were xbox fans bragging about Hitman 3 if you think one section dropping frames means the other system has *"the best version"* ? So, you're saying you think that Hitman 3 on PS5 was the best version all along now? Or did you forget about that?
It’s because you can download mods that can tank performance heavily on Xbox so that’s why they went with drs res. It’s been like that since the one x.
@@Thedrunkenswede1337 Mods are a lot better on Xbox than PlayStation as there are tons Sony don't let on there because of custom assets and other stuff.
This has renewed my love for skyrim. I had around 3000 hrs on steam and stopped playing about 5 yrs ago. Id try to get back into it again but i couldnt stay interested, even with creations and mods. But i got the anniversary edition on ps5 and i discovered something i wasnt expecting. Anniversary edition forces you to ROLE PLAY if you want the new content! You have to explore and talk to everyone if you want the creations. I didnt realize how much i missed having to role play. This breathed new life into skyrim. Ps mods have come a long way too. Im having so much fun talking to everyone, discovering new things and getting amazing new gear. Plus there lots of town mods on ps, my favorite is the one that makes winterhold an actual ruined city. So much to find there. I do have to say though, this port is pathetic. The ps4 port was already pathetic, medium-low settings and awful 8 bit like textures which look even more awful because its 4k. All they did was uncap the frame rate. Absolutely ridiculous! The game is 10 yrs old... no excuse as to why ps5 cant have max settings. At least im having fun though.
I've never played the remastered version but might give this a go for the 60fps. I felt the lighting in the remaster was off. The original felt cold not much sun warmth.
The lighting is off and much of the time it looks like you're viewing the world through a urine-colored filter. Reinstalled vanilla Skyrim on PC after playing the remastered on xbox for a while and was shocked at how much better the former looks.
@@mettana7448 It was definitely cleaner that's for sure. It's like they just added some post-processing effects in the "remaster" and enhanced water, can't forget about the water.
I still find the series S to be very impressive for how small it is at $300, I bought one for my girlfriends place and have a series X and ps5 at my place and had very low expectations for it, the storage sucks but besides that for $300 it’s a really solid and compact machine
Let's face it, the amount of storage space also sucks on the full consoles, as well. You really need at least 2Tb, due to the size of some games, these day's.
I’m slightly confused how Bethesda have packaged this up. If I’m playing the Special Edition on PS5/Series X, am I getting 60FPS without the need to mod and the reduced load times?
You have to play the Anniversay Edition, although i guess the update is automatic? Remeber to download the PS5 version, otherwise you wont get the faster load times.
Ps5 you need a mod but it doesn't mess with trophies while series X has natural 60fps since Microsoft own them and will likely never fix Sonys version now.
Kinda wish they made the ps5 loading require a button press to spawn in iust because now you wont have to time to look at the 3D models or read anything.
I love my Series X but I'm sick of all these Skyrim reboots. I played from launch on 360. I have 3 accounts with 500 plus hours. We need Elder Scrolls 6. Not remakes.
@@flaurocontino it will still have higher fidelity shadows and baked lighting and higher quality in-game models and stuff. All to prepare for the 4090s.
The PS5 runs at a native 4k and barely drops a frame while the series X runs at a much lower resolution and still drops frames? I think Microsoft lied about the 12 teraflops of the series X.
@@Donodabet it is also running at 66% the resolution, so it should be running better Also the ps5 dropped to like 49fps at worse where XSX dropped to 53 Enjoy your extra 4fps during dragon battles, that's an 8% gain in fps at 66% resolution
there was a rumour from a few months ago about bethesda opening a new studio just for remasters and the first game they were gonna remaster was oblivion. dunno if its true or not but we'll see in like 3 years i guess.
Imagine having the gall to release something like this, only optimizing loading and not framerate, and charging $50 dollars for it. Because they know people will pay it? Disgusting.
@@salvlizard On PC it's $20 as an update. But to buy it fresh it's $50, and it also replaced the nominally-$40-but-always-on-sale Special Edition which is more flexible for modding. I'd rather have some free mods that probably won't work with Anniversary than the mods that it includes. Anniversary still looks like the 10 year old game that it is, while being sold at remake prices.
It's shameful how Bethesda is miking TF out of this title. Re-releasing the same game again and again instead of using those resources to produce new titles is a massive slap in the face to fans. This is easily the most re-released title in gaming history. PS3, PS4 PS4 Pro, PS VR, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X/S, PC, PC Special Edition, PC VR, PS Anniversary Edition, Nintendo Switch. WTF?!
Remember, you can play Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim in 60 FPS on Xbox Series X|S thanks to the robust backwards compatibility program. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are playable at 60 FPS also. Then there's Starfield and ES6 to look forward to. Team green has a lot to offer if you're a Bethesda fan!

@@Thedrunkenswede1337 I was looking it and it looks pretty good. The people that have it seem to enjoy it…did you pop for it and didn’t think much of it?
I can't believe the difference between PS5 native and back compat. With the series x i haven't noticed that native games and back compat have massive differences in speed, probably because of how incredible the back compat work as been on the series consoles. None the less, so impressed by load speeds on PS5. Can't wait to get my hands on one. Loving my series X but want to complete the set. My only criticism here is that they should offer two modes to favour either resolution or fps. I would be happy to drop DRS on series X in favour of a fixed resolution like the PS5. I don't mind a few more drops in FPS as a result as PS5 users will be getting. It's an odd choice and i bet it's a budget and time constraint problem on their dev team. Seems odd to make a decision to not apply DRS to PS5 when the FPS drops are more apparent. Spending time effectively creating a new solution on Xbox consoles but neglecting PS5 is pretty cheap. I'm sure theres lots of PS5 users that would appreciate more solid performance. None the less, it sounds like it's not a massive issue, and i think it's time we get something new rather than loads of devs always working on skyrim
In the same spot that PS5 drops 49fps at native 4k, Series X drops to 53fps with dynamic 4k so there isn't much reason for DRS on PS5 since it's 60fps everywhere else with native 4k.
It's possible this is due to the BC difference. You can use some of the ps5 power now but most of the tools were only recently unlocked and that's why rocket league's update was later. Overwatch we never got one. It could just be that.
Man on Xbox mods were considered lately broken for a couple of weeks but it’s seems to be sorted out. I wasn’t even mad because it was so expected from Bethesda.

It's also worth mentioning that running the native PS5 app will save you about 15GBs in comparison to the PS4 app. The reason why, is because Sony's backwards compatibility solution creates some chunky files that are needed to emulate the PS4 apps, those files will be labelled as "Other" in your storage management screen, and you can't access the folder. That's a huge plus, since we only have 600GB to work with.

Basically I didn’t have to pay anything and got a great upgrade in overall performance and appearance. Very happy with it so far.
Mod selection still sucks.
@@ResidentOfEvil81yeah… hope one day they fix that.
How do you load your old save? Seen some issues that people couldn't. Getting a ps5 and I can't give up on this game yet 😂

Worth mentioning: Skyrim Anniversary Edition can run from an external HDD/SDD on Xbox Series even though it's labelled as optimized for Series X/S
Well yea lol that’s obvious any game can do that
@@kennypowers1945 No they don't. Most optimized games only run from the internal storage or Seagate expansion 🤨
@@stijnzwijnhow noticeable is the speed after doing so?
That's cause it was originally an Xbox One game, just optimized now. Same with Halo MCC, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and others.
Yes you get the upgrade for free, but the Anniversary Edition content has to be bought separately, and the game will pester you on the main menu screen forever until you buy it, and it will add at least 5 to 10 seconds to your initial menu load depending on how long the game takes to check the internet for whether you own the added content or not and display the pester message.
So if I don't have Internet I don't get access to the creation content even if I got the upgrade?
I think they got rid of the upgrade message after the new patch, cuz I don’t see it on my series s and I only got anniversary on my ps5.
@@pulseofme6884 ,
Uh, HOW would you get the upgrade if you don't have an Internet connection?
Just FYI, the "AE" edition is just the "SE" version but with CC downloads. I bought the upgrade and on restarting it just downloaded all the Creation Club content automatically before I was allowed to continue to the main menu.
I'm seeing no added delay to launch the game though.
The game didn't look any better because it's just extra armor options etc... I had a clean install of SE (then upgraded to AE) but I promptly reinstalled all my mods. So the AE version is rather pointless if you already mod unless there's some quest DLC you like that's in AE only.
Also... I unchecked AMBIENT OCCLUSION as it was giving odd shadow textures on characters necks and under their arms. It's in the unmodded SE/AE versions. No idea if that's new but I never noticed it until recently. None of my mods got rid of it. Only unchecking it in game settings.

Bro loading times are seriously one of the best things about this gen
the game plays so well on Series S. the short load times really help with the immersion and flow of the game and makes for such an enjoyable experience. locked 60 FPS is so smooth!
Plays the same on both but yes even tho the games practically the same it still feels so much better to play
@@Tuxxxido 60 fps alone makes any game feel so much better. I got so used to 30 fps that when i finally got my ps5 and played games in 60 i was genuinely amazed.
“Its has already been ten years and a lot has changed”
they really havent. The legendary, special and anniversary editions are just more of the same thing with new fluff with each re-release. The game plays and feels today exactly how it did back in 2011
Bar the better framerate at least if you played the original release on console.
SE is so much stable than LE. Im happy that they did that.
Maybe he's just talking about life from 2011 until 2021.
It is more stable and my game was already solid with near max mods.
People really need to stop counting the legendary edition as one of the money grabbing constant releases, it’s literally just the regular game but with the dlc. It’s like any of the other countless games that get a game of the year edition or whatever with the dlc bundled together. Nobody counts the goty edition of Arkham city as “another rerelease”

Its kinda sad that no other game can challenge skyrim, witcher 3 was epic but still far from skyrim.
It's "exceptional" that a 10-year old game drops to 50 fps? Strange choice of words.
Only the OGs played Skyrim on the ps3 at 20 fps. I haven't played Skyrim for almost 10 years. Time to finally play this game with proper performance.
its crazy it took this long to get a 60fps console version of skyrim. actually a really strong example of how anemic the last gen (ps4/xbone) consoles were in terms of cpu horsepower
Yeah the fact developers got stuff like god of war or uncharted 4 to run on that hardware at that quality is some form of black magic
nope, just poor code, if u think skyrim couldn't run at 60 on a ps4 flat u're the problem.
I think its more of a lazy developer problem. There's no way that a PS3 game requires a PS5 to run at 60fps. Look at the recent GTA remasters. PS2 games running at 20-30 fps on a PS5. Ridiculous.
Yeah but you couldn’t tell them Ps4 and Xbox one were meager upgrades when they launched without pissing everyone off 😂 I was calling them Ps3.5 and Xbox 360.5 from the start

The game that just won't die. Digital Foundry talking about a 10 year old game now and it's a brand new port.
Yeah, but think about what you said, 10yrs old, and still yet a new port. For every person that paid 60bucks way back when or just now picking it up.
Could you imagine taking your date out for dinner for 60bucks and 10yrs later, they keep getting better looks and performance wise, all because you spend 60bucks 10yrs ago.
All good games should be doing this practice...
Was really hoping for a more extensive graphical update. Like RTGI, Shadows and Reflections. That would breath a whole new life into this game.
They did upgrade the dynamic shadows in the PS5 version. This video was a little barebones regarding inspection.
the engine is old and not very good. it probably wouldn't support this stuff by default and would take time and effort to implement but this is just a free upgrade not a real next gen port so it's not worth their time

@@aaronquarles3902 actually the lack of "feature" on ps5 is the result of Sony's rules about modding unfortunately. And the dynamic res comes from the One X version, Bethesda didn't bother upgrading it
@@femto8402 I'm pretty sure they never made an Xbox one x verison.
@@zq7246 I play the One X version myself. Digital foundry did a video about it too.
It is such a shame that a masterpiece like Skyrim did not get more love from Bethesda, why is it that machines like the Ps5 and series X do not run at maximum pc settings let alone not being a locked 60 when these machines outclass those pc requirements?
Adding insult to injury is the fact that many mods now no longer work, thanks Bethesda!
Because their pc requirements are out of date/irrelevant and their engine is shit so running above 60fps can result in issues like broken physics(pc has a fix for that but you need to maintain high framerate, which these shit consoles can't do even at 60) and possibly scripts(also tied to framerate).
Aw shaddap. The game never looked or ran better on console.
If you use the right mods you will be very impressed by how good it looks. I’m currently running mods that cover pretty much every aspect of the visuals and sound, and some gameplay mods. It feels like the game I always imagined it to be years ago, but it is soooo much better. Even on console the mod community is very helpful and I went from a complete novice to feeling like I have 100+ mod load out dialed in thanks to other people being being nice enough to offer advice.
@@SLX25 Yes it did, on PS5 before the AE update you could use Wrighton's 60fps mod to get THE SAME performance as demonstrated by DF,
in addition there were mods that enhanced FOV scale and detail level LOD also by Wrighton but those are now nonfunctional which for me meant that Bethesda's update broke my game because the mods were suddenly no longer compatible and my save game was reliant on them resulting in giant holes in the world and other weirdness forcing a new game.
On top of that because the aforementioned mods no longer work it also means far more LOD pop-in and a more narrow field of view with the only actual benefit being faster loading, which granted is nice but for me at least it is ultimately not worth it.
To make things worse Wrighton has tried to fix the mods but Bethesda did something to Skyrim AE that has made .INI injection non functional which means that unless Bethesda fixes the issue which I fear they will that means that none of this will EVER work again, Skyrim AE should have been optional that would have solved everything.
@@Slytalion Zzzzzzzzz
Texture mods are still needed to bring it to a modern visual level, but I was disappointed to find there's still stuttering and frame rate drops when those mods are installed. 60fps unlocked, faster loading times - that's really the only thing we're getting. Would have liked to have seen keyboard and mouse functionality enabled, too.
This is Why i bought Skyrim on PC cause all these years later and the original PC version with Mods is still better then anniversary edition and cheaper to.
I haven’t noticed a lot of frame rate issues due to texture mods. Grass mods seem to be the only things that causes me problems. What texture mods are you using?
There's frame rate drops with the vanilla version with no mods. I experienced stutter and frame rate drops in and around Falkreath during a dragon battle.
Its a bethesda game. No amount of hardware will make the engine stop being shit.
@@TechniqueSan nevermind it's still the best looking 8th gen console game
The FPS mod also had an FOV version, which is broken now and I'm just stuck at 55 fov, I feel like Bethesda just doesn't want us too happy so they can later go "Hey look, our Centennial Edition of Skyrim gets FOV slider on Xbox OX"
It's Bethesda. In 6 months they will release an "Ultimate Anniversary Edition" or something and then THAT will become the "Ultimate way to play Skyrim". the only thing that's been beaten to death more is possibly GTAV.

So PS5 runs at a higher resolution and has faster loading and similar performance to Series X. I wasnt expecting that as Bethesda is a Microsoft studio now.
Xbox as a huge better draw distance...another optimization choice. Like tales of arise runing with 15 FPS more on Xbox 💁
As a PC player; NPC render distance is quite horrible on PS5, they appear way to close and the landscape looks empty/dead while running around.
Hope there will be a mod for that.
Really??? That’s sad!

Off topic: DF; suggest do monthly videos with short updates about games which where reviewd by DF at launch and issues where found but later fixed by the developers.
There are plenty examples of games which run bad at launch, get a critical review from DF but later problems where solved. But the bad review stays untouched on RUclips.
The majority of the gamers won't buy games at launch but wait until the game gets cheaper.
At that time the DF review is not reliable anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I love what DF is doing but when you adres issues please also share updates when issues are solved.
I'm aware DF post small notes on social media about fixes but would it be great to have a monthly video about this, it's also more fair towards devs and potential buyers of the game who can choose for which platform they want to buy a certain game.
Very time consuming unfortunately - there's a balance between covering more games and covering games that should have got it right first time around.
I think if DF was to do that, they should only do it minimum 6 months after a game releases; publishers and devs should not be allowed to get away with releasing unoptimised garbage when just 15 years ago, releasing a broken game meant you couldn't patch anything and your game simply died. Customers should stop being beta testers.
@@tobzdaman619 You do have a good point. And I totally agree.
But the reality is that we are living in 2021 and not 2005 anymore. Game dev companies will not change there way because of our opinion.

Load times on PS5 are a game changer.
So, much when Bethesda said the Anniversary Edition for next gen will be sporting "enhanced graphics", that was a straight up lie?
Not necessarily, the SX got a res bump to 1440p. and the both series consoles and the PS5 got native 60 FPS. Yes it was the very least they could do but technically can still can hold up in the court of law as much as "it just works" did.. Lol
NOTE: After playing vanilla Skyrim again on my XSS (On the adversary edition) the game doesn't always run at 60fps, when there are heavy or lots of particles, the game may run at 40fps, and ESPECIALLY in the Dawnguard Black-Soul gem map, the game fluctuates between 20-60 fps depending on where you're at. I just had to note this with my experience. Before this never used to happen, even on the FPS boosted mode, and even on the Xbox one too.
This version has shown the most amount of frame dips I've seen.
mods?
i m playin on series s and its garbage. fps drops all the time and it looks like 720p literally
You gotta play this version with mods on the Series X. They work so much more smoothly now. My game look amazing with Skyland AIO and SMIM.

@@Ozzianman Yeah I use ELFX interiors. Not realistic water though as it seems to clash with Skyland. Oh and Vivid Weathers complete edition.

XSX is the best version. Far more stable frame rate thanks to DRS with a much better selection of mods. Not surprisingly I guess considering Microsoft now own Bethesda.
Pretty much.
Well not true runs not stable on ps5 and if you sant mods you play on pc lol 😂🤣
With DRS XSX drops to 53fps, at native 4k PS5 drops to 47fps in the SAME area. Everywhere else PS5 is locked to 60fps with native 4k. Not sure how you think one stress area makes XSX "the best version".
This is no different than Hitman 3 where XSX had native 4k but had one area where it drops frames while PS5 was locked at 60fps but PS5 was 1800p...except here, even with a lower resolution for XSX it still drops frames in the same area that PS5 does.
Why were xbox fans bragging about Hitman 3 if you think one section dropping frames means the other system has *"the best version"* ? So, you're saying you think that Hitman 3 on PS5 was the best version all along now? Or did you forget about that?

Anniversary edition forces you to ROLE PLAY if you want the new content! You have to explore and talk to everyone if you want the creations. I didnt realize how much i missed having to role play. This breathed new life into skyrim. Ps mods have come a long way too. Im having so much fun talking to everyone, discovering new things and getting amazing new gear. Plus there lots of town mods on ps, my favorite is the one that makes winterhold an actual ruined city. So much to find there.
I do have to say though, this port is pathetic. The ps4 port was already pathetic, medium-low settings and awful 8 bit like textures which look even more awful because its 4k. All they did was uncap the frame rate. Absolutely ridiculous! The game is 10 yrs old... no excuse as to why ps5 cant have max settings. At least im having fun though.

You have to play the Anniversay Edition, although i guess the update is automatic? Remeber to download the PS5 version, otherwise you wont get the faster load times.
Ps5 you need a mod but it doesn't mess with trophies while series X has natural 60fps since Microsoft own them and will likely never fix Sonys version now.

@@salvlizard On PC it's $20 as an update. But to buy it fresh it's $50, and it also replaced the nominally-$40-but-always-on-sale Special Edition which is more flexible for modding. I'd rather have some free mods that probably won't work with Anniversary than the mods that it includes. Anniversary still looks like the 10 year old game that it is, while being sold at remake prices.
It's just Special Edition with a few mods.
It's shameful how Bethesda is miking TF out of this title. Re-releasing the same game again and again instead of using those resources to produce new titles is a massive slap in the face to fans. This is easily the most re-released title in gaming history. PS3, PS4 PS4 Pro, PS VR, PS5, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Xbox Series X/S, PC, PC Special Edition, PC VR, PS Anniversary Edition, Nintendo Switch. WTF?!
Lmao true shit..
Remember, you can play Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim in 60 FPS on Xbox Series X|S thanks to the robust backwards compatibility program. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are playable at 60 FPS also. Then there's Starfield and ES6 to look forward to. Team green has a lot to offer if you're a Bethesda fan!
A bunch of old games and one game coming next year and another 3 years minimum after starfield doesn't exactly sound like a lot to offer.
@@thefury4815 as if those are the only games on the platform, upcoming or otherwise. Ironically, there are more games in development for Xbox than Playstation.
I don't know why so many people are willfully obtuse about what's coming down the road for Xbox.
@@RaspberryBang I wasn't saying that's all that's coming. I'm saying those reasons alone are not that great. And at the end of the day it doesn't matter what's in development. It matters what's actually good. I recently got a series s but I'll admit I'm ignorant as to what's coming for it compared to ps5.
@@thefury4815 your comment reads like you were downplaying the whole console, but whatever; if you say so.
If someone wants to be excited about some games, let them be, you troll.
@@RaspberryBang I wasn't trolling. I was being serious. And being excited about new games is never a bad thing. But I wouldn't hold out hope that ES6 comes out in less than 5 years.
The FPS Boost Skyrim Version is native 4k 60 FPS and its pretty stable. I think they put DRS on the latest Xbox S/X Skyrim Version because of the Heavy MOD Situation, it can hit the Performance hard when you Install alot MODS. Playstation do not need DRS, because it barely support mods. It makes sense.
You're basically just making things up to justify why the "tWeLvE TfLoPs" gets outperformed by the "weaker"console. It's okay to admit you got played. I mean almost every game that's come out this year runs better on ps5 and you still make excuses LOL
@@ShakeNbake9106 lmao ps5 console warrior.
@@ShakeNbake9106 umm no, it's obvious you don't know shit about mods. Enough mods brings my 3090 to its knees with a pretty well built load order. Mods impact performance period. Playstation consoles have barley any mods other than some value changing one which don't effect script running.
@@ShakeNbake9106 Goodness, imagine being this blinded by brand loyalty.
Get help dude
@@Sponch1 okay bro act like leading up to this gen xbots werent trashing PS5 for having less raw compute power now that it's proven Xbox has almost no advantage and in fact runs worse than PS5 on most games I'm definitely talking my shit
There is also a storage advantage, the game is around 33Gb on PS4 and 15Gb on PS5
DF doesn't like to talk about this specific PS5 advantage.
@@lysandros765 The power of Kraken!
Mark Cerny and his team = geniuses
@@MisterReen geniuses because they convinced you that a 2020 console that still cant lock 60 in skyrim is good?
I know you say it's an achievement or whatnot to get this game at 4K60 despite the frame drops, but I just can't believe that a freaking PS3/360 game is still getting drops two generations later. I know it's had texture updates and all that but I still can't believe that a perfectly stable console version of Skyrim still doesn't exist. smh
Man vanilla loloks so bad when you have a modded setup, lol.
Haven't seen vanilla beyond the intro in years
Debating about getting this…I love me some Skyrim…again…
Its the same as before ? If you own it on ps4 you get a free upgrade on ps5 the rest is just not worth the money
@@Thedrunkenswede1337 I got it for Xbox and at least got the update…actually thinking about getting it for the content as it looks pretty cool
@@kirkden71 well you get an upgrade free on ps5 also and the content club is just not worth it
@@Thedrunkenswede1337 I was looking it and it looks pretty good. The people that have it seem to enjoy it…did you pop for it and didn’t think much of it?
I can't believe the difference between PS5 native and back compat. With the series x i haven't noticed that native games and back compat have massive differences in speed, probably because of how incredible the back compat work as been on the series consoles. None the less, so impressed by load speeds on PS5. Can't wait to get my hands on one. Loving my series X but want to complete the set.
My only criticism here is that they should offer two modes to favour either resolution or fps. I would be happy to drop DRS on series X in favour of a fixed resolution like the PS5. I don't mind a few more drops in FPS as a result as PS5 users will be getting. It's an odd choice and i bet it's a budget and time constraint problem on their dev team. Seems odd to make a decision to not apply DRS to PS5 when the FPS drops are more apparent. Spending time effectively creating a new solution on Xbox consoles but neglecting PS5 is pretty cheap. I'm sure theres lots of PS5 users that would appreciate more solid performance. None the less, it sounds like it's not a massive issue, and i think it's time we get something new rather than loads of devs always working on skyrim
I don't think Bethesda really put that much time into this so I don't think it's a budget or time constraint they just didn't want to or care to.
In the same spot that PS5 drops 49fps at native 4k, Series X drops to 53fps with dynamic 4k so there isn't much reason for DRS on PS5 since it's 60fps everywhere else with native 4k.
It's possible this is due to the BC difference. You can use some of the ps5 power now but most of the tools were only recently unlocked and that's why rocket league's update was later. Overwatch we never got one. It could just be that.
I've never played Skyrim, because Dark Souls on PS3 kept my attention for a very long time.
You missed out on the greatest game of all time.
@@Dan17890Skyrim looks really generic to me. What's the deal with this Game?
@@battleroyale1056 it's the goat. That's all I gotta say. Now go play it.
@@Dan17890 So it's a Goat Simulator!?!
@@battleroyale1056 exactly
DRS on trashbox and still dropping frames ...what a monster🤣🤣🤣
How the hell a 10 yo game can't run at a fixed 4K@60 fps on SeX and PS5?
Glad I have the PC version with mods, and yes, mods finally work again. Bethesda went full you know what and broke mods.
Man on Xbox mods were considered lately broken for a couple of weeks but it’s seems to be sorted out. I wasn’t even mad because it was so expected from Bethesda.
Thankfully the VR version wasn't touched... yet.
I hope they leave it alone.
I love playing all my games at 400x zoom.
Like the PC Master Racer DF's Dictator. In PAUSE.
You guys need to test Windhelm on the PS5 the fps tanks hard unfortunatly.. Hope they patch it but I somehow doubt it :(
@@yourmommasuqsdik918 these consoles have 8 core 3,5ghz ryzen cpu´s with 10 - 12 tf gpu power....this game should run with 4k/120fps on these consoles but this game is horrible optimised with massive engine bottlenecks and still full with tons of bugs from ten years ago...Bethesda is a joke in this regard
@@yourmommasuqsdik918 so why can i play tons of other games on these consoles that look 100x times better than Skyrim with up to 4k and locked 60fps or even 120fps in multiplayer games on these machines but not a old game like skyrim? it´s 100% bethesda´s fault
@@yourmommasuqsdik918 i mean you can play old games like the Witcher 2 on Xbox with a locked 60fps at 4k or tons of other old games with locked framerates on Xbox but Skyrim has massive problems...sounds like poor work from the devs to me also they have 10 year old bugs in this game which got fixed by fan mods on pc ages ago....so sorry but these devs are just lazy and here for the money and has nothing to do with how powerful these consoles are
@@yourmommasuqsdik918 it´s just poor optimization...look at Battlefield 2042 which runs even with a 3090 only around at 70 - 100 fps when it should be easy around 120 - 150 fps on medium to high settings...does it mean the 3090 isn´t as powerful as we thought? no the game suffers from bad optimization at the moment
Consoles can now bang out 10 years old games at 4K and 60fps. We'll have to wait another 6-10 years for games released today hit full native 4K 120hz.
Key Word - “consoles”
Skyrim: It was a much graphical leap from Oblivion.
Skyrim SE: We made the water better.
Skyrim AE: We made it 60fps.
Next Skyrim: We made it in 8k resolution.
