@@bred9901 i used to run Skyrim LE at ultra with some visual mods. Now i run Skyrim Se in poor preset and 720p using bethni. And i upgraded my ram from 4 gig to 12. SE sucks for pc, witcher 3 runs better then it on medium 720p
(i can't belive you still don't realize the changes, it's been years) So, first of all special edition has more *STABLE* fps than original (not necessarily higher fps) Second, it has 64 bit memories (i think it's for stability and limit of mod which is bigger) Third, if you play on xbox one or ps4, special edition is much better option for you (better vanilla graphics and performance)
nicoloco9974 Well, I have both the PS4 and PC remastered version, and I can say that the PC version is better. On PS4 it runs at 30 FPS, and has very limited mod support.

Because of DoF and TAA are turned on, that are a blurry mess. If you disable them it will look much more crisp and clear, better over all. This video just shows everything maxed out (everything enabled).
yes indeed EverythingAnarchy , I experience the same. But some sunset effects are better, except you use better light & shadow effects mods in vanilla Skyrim.
TBH. Orignal is more dark, Remaster looks too bright like its not North mountains, but something like some Gothic 3 world. IMO Vanila Skyrim looks way better, besides water, draw distance and some textures (not all).
TyggzyYT so the se version can handel more shit at once bc of its 64 bit engine and not 32 bit it runs alot better than normal skyrim feels better just look futer than just the graphics ok
My hope is that Elder Scrolls VI keeps the classic Skyrim aesthetic. Sure, it should look a little more realistic, but I love the exaggerated lighting, vibrant colors and thick objects. It gives the game a fantasy feel on a fundamental level.
In some places, the remaster looks amazing and a nice improvement. In other places, the original looks better. Oddly enough, there doesn't seem to be any vast differences. I had hoped that the remaster might be something like the Halo Special Editions -- which greatly altered the look and feel of the game. Unfortunately, that just doesn't seem to be the case here.
Remaster are more like ports with slight differences unlike a remake which can have large differences if you want a remaster that looks very different from the original look at saints row 3 remastered which is more like a remake
I might be the only one, but I think there's something beautiful about the original vanilla Skyrim. Even though mods make this game look incredible, there's just something special about the vanilla version that pulls me in when playing.
SE looks kinda too colorful and has too much glare for me, IMO. I really love the cold, grey and depressing color palette of the original. It just feels right for a northern country.
The original is superior in contrast. The great thing about playing Skyrim for the first time so many years ago is the feeling that you’re in a colder, harsher land. Which is the point, it’s Skyrim. The contrast of the original game gives it that feeling of being a place of cold stone, air, mountains, trees and water. The Anniversary Edition makes everything too fuzzy, too warm and actually degrades the detail of the original game that the contrast helped bring to it. I’ve just started playing AE, but I’m already about to just go back to my original copy of the game, because the new version just doesn’t t feel as much like the Skyrim I remember being fascinated with. I never finished playing the game, and I didn’t play it for years. If I’m going to play again, I want it to be the real Skyrim. I don’t feel like Skyrim:AE fits the bill.
SSE actually looks better in-game than it does on this video. Going between Skyrim and SSE you can see a massive difference in post processing. Kind of disappointing that there were no textures upgrades or anything else that stands out...
It actually makes a huge difference in looks/performance compared to the vanilla version in-game. For someone who doesn't have the most high-end PC out there that means a lot!
The performance of Skyrim SE is amazing the loading is so fast and it uses way less system resources compared to most games today and it kills the original Skyrim that had horrible loading so Skywind and Sky oblivion needs to port the games to this new engine it works flawlessly.
I like the sharpness too but I think you can add reshade and increase sharpness whilst still getting the benefit of the depth the special edition has with lighting, reflections and shadows etc. I'm still yet to do that but I had a lot of fun messing with reshade on Bully and much prefer the look i ended up with compared to the original like making shadows more blue etc.
Stop typing folks. The blurry as you call it it's just TAA. Same thing happen in other games who use similar anti aliasing methods. TAA and TAA2X makes everything blur. Just disable it.
To no one's surprise, Fraud Howard's idea of a remaster is to downgrade the textures and slap a burry post process piss filter on it. The Special Edition will no doubt be the version to play once modders have had enough time with it (not having the 4GB limitation of the original 32 bit version), but out of the box this is just pitiful.
The remaster is mostly intended for the console release NOT PC. So either way, you don't have to buy the game or upgrade it. So please... step down from the pedestal buddy.
TheMightyWalrus Why, because PC gamers call companies out on their bullshit? That's why we call you console guys peasants, you just sit back and accept whatever your corporate overlords tell you to.
DrearierSpider1 Well I am a PC gamer but the whole point in "call companies out of their bullshit" is completly false. Most of the time "gamers" don't even now what they are talking about. Even in the PC community. (My guess is because thanks to this "Pc master race" bullshit the pc community has an influx of people with megalomania. Most people now a days just jumps on bandawagons without looking at things from different perspectives. Which is your case. So if we go back to Skyrim special edition it is specificly made for console gamers on the new generations. This is why if you have all DLC you get it for free on the PC. Now why do you have to have all DLC? Well because Skyrim special edition comes with all of them. Bethesda knows very well that they would get a ton of shit for charging 60 dollars for an upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit. Which is why they didn't do that. So did you call out bethesda on their bullshit? No you sounded like the spoiled little bitch you are.
Turning off godrays in Skyrim Special Edition removes the smoggy, hazy overlay making it look cleaner and clearer more like the original 32bit Skyrim. As an added bonus turning off godrays you gain 5-10 fps.
luis martinez355 why it's fail when there is much better lighting and other small stuff? Remember DMC, it was shit on ps360 (30 fps), and then it was remastered for ps4\xo and this version looked just the same as pc version on launch.
i miss the memories playing this game with my older cousin, before he passed away in a car accident, just a flood of all kinds of nostalgia and emotions... just tied into this game... family, friends, all good times related to this game, and i keep getting it for other consoles trying to relive those times or at least revive them... HS in of itself was boring and nothing really happened, but the years were definitely worthwhile... so lucky that the game came out on my freshman year.
To me, the differences are subtle. Maybe the weather effects (such as fog and mist) are better but somehow it seems to just mask the textures rather than refine them. I am currently downloading the remastered version on Steam which I got for free as part of having the original copy so I guess I can have no complaints either way!
Alt+tab issue is solved with enboost (no need to turn graphic modifications on, so no performance loss), and you must be joking about stability, because they didn't fix ANY bugs for the remaster. With 2011 edition you have USLEEP which fixes thousands of game breaking bugs bethesda didn't even bother to.
Skyrim holds a special place in my heart, I discovered it some time after dawnguard released and that was a time when a lot of things were kinds going good in my life after a very very very very long time you could also say they were kinda the calmest 1 and a half years of my life. I first discovered skyrim by just reading the name somewhere and googling it and finding all the high definition screenshots on Bethesda's website. I really enjoyed this game and did so much in it. I beat the main quest, completed the thieves guild, the dark brotherhood, the college of winterhold, dawnguard dlc but alas i couldn't play more to finish the companions as I left that for last. People often think that guys who get immersed in such games and give the time they spend in this virtual world are ugly losers with crap lives when in reality that isn't true. The real world just has way too much bullshit and problems to throw at you one after the other and in such cases using such games as an escape from everything for a little while is fulfilling in itself. So sometimes I watch this video to remember those days when I first played skyrim and had my adventures and the brief period in my life when things were good
Don't share your life troubles on the internet, you're begging to get dragged. Share that with a friend in private. Not shooting shit at you, just some advice.
I personally like the softer look of the remaster, the lighting gives the environment a more immersive feeling. On the other hand the snow and heat effects on the original are better. I might pick this up on Xbox One for the achievements, can't wait to play around with mods aswell.
Thank you for this Candyland, but you must say that youtube downgrades the quality with its bitrate limit in every video you upload. I have both versions and the remaster one looks actually very more better than the original, but in the videos you won't see the difference because RUclips downgrades the bitrate of the video to have a fast loading, making it less heavy. If you really want to see the power of the remaster, then play it by yourself. This video doesn't prove anything.
yeah, i was waiting this remaster for that, now my skyrim runs smoothlier than before, i wanna put some texture and linghting mods to see the remaster a lot better.
in my case, i have a 8350 AMD processor , and was bottleneck my 970 NVIDIA, because i found the last skyrim only uses 3 of 8 Cores, and the shadow was render by the proccesor, no the GPU, and that give low performance in some áreas and a short chance to visual mods
GEDELICIA That’s because SE has better textures and much much better ambient occlusion (not even sure if original had AO to begin with) but yeah some scenes outdoors looks like a simple weather overhaul, tho the water is so much better in SE. as someone who plays modded LE (I couldn’t give up that ENB parallax support and the better AA) I think anyone who says unmodded vanilla looks better than SE needs to get their eyes checked. SE also runs better aswell. (Almost double fps on dragonsreach steps on an RX 570)
3.33 love how the aurora looks in the remaster with the volumetric lighting. The only scene in witch I do in fact. The rest of the time it just makes it hazy but night scenes do seem better in the special edition
I dont't know why, but I compare both on ultra right now and for me, remaster looks better and I'm going to play this game again one more time, but on this video original one is better, wtf
I know, I was just playing it and looking at old Skyrim on my other moniter and the Remaster is lightyears ahead of the original. This video....the remaster looks off...
is the Temporal Antialising, it Blurs everything, and affect a lot the video compresion in game captures (Gears 4 Have the same issue, it looks better in XBox ONe IN VIDEOS) The comparison need to be done with FXAA, more blocky, but better textures and colors.
i have played the remastered and it looks really better than the original version. more vegetation, better light effects ... Candyland uses bad screenshots !
BatyaLiberator orginal isnt better the original has a black outline and has a very grey pallete the remaster looks softer and just generally better. I actually get more frames on special edition believe it or not on ultra, special edition is more stable as well and allows modders to make bigger and better mods for pc and xbox one. But ps4 is fucked
sorry if I'm out of the loop but why has that become popular? I know it's from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (I used to play it in 7th grade) but why has it gotten so popular all of a sudden?
the originals colors are more accurate to real life scenery while the remaster has too much colors in areas. 3:31 this scene is a great example, on the left the color looks more realistic and believable but on the right it looks too much like a harry potter movie. i like how the original looks like somewhere id sit outside next to a fire place thats warm outside.
DrearierSpider1 True, it's not for everyone. But I remember spending hours tweaking original Skyrim to get consistent frames, which ended up making the game look awful (still had fps issues). Then this comes out and I get 60fps on ultra. So for me it was a godsend.
3:30 *Just me or did the original have a better sky? I enjoy a dark night sometimes to have a good look at the stars, and even then it looks more realistic.*
I hate realistic lighting it video games. It can make it more hard to focus. I don't want my vision blurred because it's "realistic". I don't want a game to look realistic. The original version has a sleepy, melancholy atmosphere that is much preferable. Remasters always try to make games look more bright and colorful, but some games should feel dreary. Having less detail actually makes it easier to read the environment, too.
Look at the differences in Whiterun at 5:32. The houses in the original are brown, and the sky is gray. In the remaster, the houses are yellow, and the sky is blue. The brighter colors do not improve the visuals. The darker, Earthier tones of the original creates a more relaxing atmosphere, and is easier on the eyes. This is a good thing because while Skyrim is a huge game with tons of content, it is not a very deep game. It's a game that doesn't demand much from the player which is why the original look is more suitable.
I play Skyrim(original) with enb and lots of mods (better textures, better meshes, unoficial patchs) and the original loks better and performs better than the "remaster"
Please tell me that I am not the only one who thinks that the older graphics sometimes looked better. The textures were sharper, expecially on wood and fur.
There's basically no reason to buy the special edition other than for that better lighting settings WHICH you totally don't have free mods that can make it even better.
I newer played skyrim before.So I started playing Special edition.Then I tried Original Skyrim (No addons, no mods, no additional textures).An I found out that when walking otside towns in original Skyrim I feel amazing beauty of the world. Walking alonglide Mountains is beautiful. Collor pallete is magical.Swamp is amazing.--And in SE version all of the outside magic is gone. Absolutely.--But in town original Skyrim is dim and boring. SE is much better.
Thank you for the video, it's convinced me to play the Vanilla game instead of the Remaster - and by the way, I believe the first song to be used in this video is titled "Streets of Whiterun", looks like that can be updated in the description :)
It's because the Special Edition uses TAA as an anti aliasing option which blurs the image quite a bit. The original PC version used only MSAA which doesn't blur the image whatsoever.
KeyToAnime That's why msaa will always be my favorite lol. fxaa isn't too bad when you need a little less taxation on your card while maintaining a decent graphics quality but msaa tickles my nerd boner
I like both editions but I think I like original is better. The graphics seem a little sharper and I can hear dialogue easier. I kind of like the skies in the old version, it makes everything seem chillier. What a game.
I never liked the ambiance of the special edition. Far too over saturated in colour (vivid yellows, oranges and blues). The whole place looked too warm whereas the original felt cold and harsh - as it should. Not to mention the awful TAA that blurred and washed out the images. Oldrim all the way for me.
People are mixing things up. Skyrim on last gen consoles looks so much worse than the PC original release. The improvement of the Remaster is much more pronounced when comparing PS3 vs PS4 than PC, since it was already superior.
Garik Nevskoy Better FPS (original: 30-40 average for me, remaster: 40-60 for me). Better loading times (original: 5-40 seconds, remaster: 2-20 seconds). Comes with all DLC. 64 bit engine means 16 exabytes of mods are possible (pretty much infinite mod space). Compressed file means the game size is smaller than the original. This caused a problem making audio sound worse but this has been fixed. Better graphics: beautiful god rays, nicer water flowing and some textures are better such as signs and potions. Finally, colour correction. This makes for some beautiful sights like orange morning skies, deep blue night skies etc.
That just means you're running it on a potato. Special Edition is OBJECTIVELY more stable and better looking. It's not perfect but its hell a lot more optimized out the box then oldrim was.
I don't know why, but i like more the use of colors in the Original for the most part, there is a gray tone to the game, while the Special Edition is more colorful, i would love to see a mod to SE to bring back the tone of colors more closely to the Original. SE has the advatange of better performace thanks to 64 bit engine.
Still reminds me why I fell in love with the original. The new graphics are subtle but add a tad more life to the game. Kinda wanted more but it is acceptable.
Honestly I prefer the original. Has a more realistic look to it; the world feels like a believable place. Graphically it's the same level of fidelity anyway. The remaster adds in more color, which makes sense since that was back in again during PS4 gen, but it makes the world feel more video-gamey and fake.
Hmm, the original looks more detailed n sharp, some extra cloud fluff and mostly lighting effects in the remastered, not really sure it's an improvement or not.
@@Sebastian-oz1lj Console is a disaster. Had this on PS3 oh man you have no idea how many times the game crashed on a save or how fucking long the game took to load. It was like PS1 all over again. Special Edition is a major improvement on these points so it's a win for me.
>add some shitty filters and slightly upscaled textures >leave everything else just as shitty as it was ( story, unresponsive world, crap rpg elements, awful gameplay, wooden npc's etc etc etc ) >ask people to pay the full price again Its like a fucking bad joke.
Well, I'm one of the lucky to get the game free as i had legendary edition, I can add more mods without crashing every 5 minutes or having to bundle mods together on the upgraded engine. Most of the bugs and "Wooden" npc's can be fixed with community patches and animations, gameplay can be upgraded with mods. The story is a love or hate relation, some people like it others don't (IMO it wasn't that great but was better than other rpg stories I've seen). it runs Smoothly with the new engine and doesn't drop in fps like the original and doesn't crash (As much) like the original. "Remastered" Doesn't mean a new game, just "Updated". It's still the same game with the same bugs etc, just put on a new engine for play-ability. The remaster isn't for everyone, If you haven't played the game before and want to try it, paying 40$ for the entire game + dlc on an echanced engine is worth imo, rather than spending the same money on the original game.
NotSoGood Ahh the good old bethesda retarded drones and their "mods will fix it" "argument".. Protip : Mods should be used to enchance the quality of a game, not to FIX its most basic problems. And most of Skyrim mods ain't fixing shit, they are just adding sugar coating. And you know what ? Sugar coated shit is still shit, its just got sugar on it.
Not every game is perfect and has it's quirks, Sometimes those quirks cause for hilarious moments in the games. Honestly though, it's your opinion whether you like the game or not.
i appreciate your opinion but you are wrong. they didn't just "add some shitty filters", they completely revamped the lighting, the shadows, added god rays, added dynamic depth of field and more.. the game is also now 64bit as apposed to the original only being 32bit meaning it can utilise more than the 3gb limit the original had, meaning more stability and less frame drops/freezes the things you stated as being "shit" is your opinion and nothing more and holds no weight unless you can elaborate on why and not just "its shit" also dont call people retarded when they nicely tried to explain certain things that might help sort out some of the issues you have with skyrim. also noone is asking you to pay for anything, if you dont want to buy skyrim again, dont buy it, simple. and its not full price, i do agree it should be a tad cheaper for a 5 year old game slightly remastered but anyone whos a fan of skyrim will probably just tell you that the game is well worth the price, especially if you havent play it before.
people like you are cancer to the industry, how can you defend this, the differences are laughable, have you seen good remasters ? for example, half life 1 remastered, this was good remaster, skyrim special edition is a joke, free mods on pc can give you more.

@@kristijanceple6026 As someone raised in the snow, Original Skyrim looks way more realistic than the new version
It just works
The original is superior in contrast. The great thing about playing Skyrim for the first time so many years ago is the feeling that you’re in a colder, harsher land. Which is the point, it’s Skyrim. The contrast of the original game gives it that feeling of being a place of cold stone, air, mountains, trees and water. The Anniversary Edition makes everything too fuzzy, too warm and actually degrades the detail of the original game that the contrast helped bring to it. I’ve just started playing AE, but I’m already about to just go back to my original copy of the game, because the new version just doesn’t t feel as much like the Skyrim I remember being fascinated with. I never finished playing the game, and I didn’t play it for years. If I’m going to play again, I want it to be the real Skyrim. I don’t feel like Skyrim:AE fits the bill.

I like the sharpness too but I think you can add reshade and increase sharpness whilst still getting the benefit of the depth the special edition has with lighting, reflections and shadows etc. I'm still yet to do that but I had a lot of fun messing with reshade on Bully and much prefer the look i ended up with compared to the original like making shadows more blue etc.
Stop typing folks. The blurry as you call it it's just TAA. Same thing happen in other games who use similar anti aliasing methods. TAA and TAA2X makes everything blur. Just disable it.
yes but then your only option is FXAA.. and those jaggies on trees and plants.. unbearable!
Still better then downgrades from ubisoft.

To no one's surprise, Fraud Howard's idea of a remaster is to downgrade the textures and slap a burry post process piss filter on it. The Special Edition will no doubt be the version to play once modders have had enough time with it (not having the 4GB limitation of the original 32 bit version), but out of the box this is just pitiful.
The remaster is mostly intended for the console release NOT PC. So either way, you don't have to buy the game or upgrade it. So please... step down from the pedestal buddy.
Pushpop LoC They released it on PC, therefore it should meet PC standards.
It was realesed on PC because otherwise the PC players would whine and moan about not getting it. Sorry but PC has by far the worst community.
TheMightyWalrus Why, because PC gamers call companies out on their bullshit? That's why we call you console guys peasants, you just sit back and accept whatever your corporate overlords tell you to.
DrearierSpider1 Well I am a PC gamer but the whole point in "call companies out of their bullshit" is completly false. Most of the time "gamers" don't even now what they are talking about. Even in the PC community. (My guess is because thanks to this "Pc master race" bullshit the pc community has an influx of people with megalomania. Most people now a days just jumps on bandawagons without looking at things from different perspectives. Which is your case.
So if we go back to Skyrim special edition it is specificly made for console gamers on the new generations. This is why if you have all DLC you get it for free on the PC. Now why do you have to have all DLC? Well because Skyrim special edition comes with all of them. Bethesda knows very well that they would get a ton of shit for charging 60 dollars for an upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit. Which is why they didn't do that.
So did you call out bethesda on their bullshit? No you sounded like the spoiled little bitch you are.
Turning off godrays in Skyrim Special Edition removes the smoggy, hazy overlay making it look cleaner and clearer more like the original 32bit Skyrim. As an added bonus turning off godrays you gain 5-10 fps.
looks like they need to remaster the remastered edition. XD
Don't give bethesda ideas lol

vkozmo bioshock the game had no change unlike this...but who cares games are more for story not graphics and for Bethesda this is pretty good
vkozmo fail on the pc maybe but the remaster looks amazing on console
luis martinez355 why it's fail when there is much better lighting and other small stuff? Remember DMC, it was shit on ps360 (30 fps), and then it was remastered for ps4\xo and this version looked just the same as pc version on launch.

i miss the memories playing this game with my older cousin, before he passed away in a car accident, just a flood of all kinds of nostalgia and emotions... just tied into this game... family, friends, all good times related to this game, and i keep getting it for other consoles trying to relive those times or at least revive them... HS in of itself was boring and nothing really happened, but the years were definitely worthwhile... so lucky that the game came out on my freshman year.
yes
lets add more sunlight and call it remaster ffs
To me, the differences are subtle. Maybe the weather effects (such as fog and mist) are better but somehow it seems to just mask the textures rather than refine them. I am currently downloading the remastered version on Steam which I got for free as part of having the original copy so I guess I can have no complaints either way!
Theres a fog remover mod tho so its all good in the hood.
Plus the differences is a more than just added mist and fob. The lighting, shadows and reflections are better for example.
Lol, the original PC vanilla 2011 version has better and sharper textures and overall better colors. The remaster is a pathetic joke.
mitrooper i thought the same bro
I agree.
The only reason the textures look blurrier is 'cos TAA is on, which blurs everything. Turn it off and the textures will be back to normal.
sci_ant hit the nail on the head with his hammer. also 2011 version has msaa wich was removed for some strange reason in the SE.
Alt+tab issue is solved with enboost (no need to turn graphic modifications on, so no performance loss), and you must be joking about stability, because they didn't fix ANY bugs for the remaster. With 2011 edition you have USLEEP which fixes thousands of game breaking bugs bethesda didn't even bother to.
Skyrim holds a special place in my heart, I discovered it some time after dawnguard released and that was a time when a lot of things were kinds going good in my life after a very very very very long time you could also say they were kinda the calmest 1 and a half years of my life. I first discovered skyrim by just reading the name somewhere and googling it and finding all the high definition screenshots on Bethesda's website. I really enjoyed this game and did so much in it. I beat the main quest, completed the thieves guild, the dark brotherhood, the college of winterhold, dawnguard dlc but alas i couldn't play more to finish the companions as I left that for last. People often think that guys who get immersed in such games and give the time they spend in this virtual world are ugly losers with crap lives when in reality that isn't true. The real world just has way too much bullshit and problems to throw at you one after the other and in such cases using such games as an escape from everything for a little while is fulfilling in itself. So sometimes I watch this video to remember those days when I first played skyrim and had my adventures and the brief period in my life when things were good

Fukin remastered worste then original 😅😂😅
I personally like the softer look of the remaster, the lighting gives the environment a more immersive feeling. On the other hand the snow and heat effects on the original are better.
I might pick this up on Xbox One for the achievements, can't wait to play around with mods aswell.
almost can't see the difference
jim fred There isnt any, the video is fake. Wait till the game comes out.
are you being ignorant on purpose or what ? Game is out
The Game is out since more than 12 Hours
Thank you for this Candyland, but you must say that youtube downgrades the quality with its bitrate limit in every video you upload.
I have both versions and the remaster one looks actually very more better than the original, but in the videos you won't see the difference because RUclips downgrades the bitrate of the video to have a fast loading, making it less heavy.
If you really want to see the power of the remaster, then play it by yourself. This video doesn't prove anything.
You are right , but if it's better it should look better than the original
Here's where I think each version looks better:
0:16 (Opening Scene) - Winner: Original
1:01 (River and Scenery) - Winner: Remaster
1:30 (Whiterun Skyline) - Winner: Original
1:53 (Riverwood) - Winner: Original

4:46 (Markarth) - Winner: Remaster
5:09 (Riften) - Winner: Original
5:32 (Whiterun) - Winner: Remaster
5:55 (Winterhold) - Winner: Remaster (adjusting for lack of snow, for a fair comparison)
6:18 (Dungeon) - Winner: Remaster
6:47 (Wilderness Path) - Winner: Original
the original looks... better?
The graphics could've stayed the same for all I care, I'm just excited for the 64-bit DX11 engine.
Thank you, 90% of the haters in the comment section don't realize, that this is the actual point of the remaster.
yeah, i was waiting this remaster for that, now my skyrim runs smoothlier than before, i wanna put some texture and linghting mods to see the remaster a lot better.
What's the difference really? Never had major problems with 32-bit version.
Vulpes Inculta better graphic mods for the remaster
in my case, i have a 8350 AMD processor , and was bottleneck my 970 NVIDIA, because i found the last skyrim only uses 3 of 8 Cores, and the shadow was render by the proccesor, no the GPU, and that give low performance in some áreas and a short chance to visual mods
The remaster edition = original edition inside instagram.
Wasn't it supposed to look better? :/
But look, in dungeons the remaster is 100x times better, but this comment section just have kids
GEDELICIA
That’s because SE has better textures and much much better ambient occlusion (not even sure if original had AO to begin with) but yeah some scenes outdoors looks like a simple weather overhaul, tho the water is so much better in SE. as someone who plays modded LE (I couldn’t give up that ENB parallax support and the better AA) I think anyone who says unmodded vanilla looks better than SE needs to get their eyes checked. SE also runs better aswell. (Almost double fps on dragonsreach steps on an RX 570)
3.33 love how the aurora looks in the remaster with the volumetric lighting. The only scene in witch I do in fact. The rest of the time it just makes it hazy but night scenes do seem better in the special edition
It’s better in the original because it’s more darker and nighttime is SUPPOSED to be dark in real life
Remaster looks much... warmer. And I prefer the original cold look. Fits the setting better.
I dont't know why, but I compare both on ultra right now and for me, remaster looks better and I'm going to play this game again one more time, but on this video original one is better, wtf
I know, I was just playing it and looking at old Skyrim on my other moniter and the Remaster is lightyears ahead of the original. This video....the remaster looks off...
is the Temporal Antialising, it Blurs everything, and affect a lot the video compresion in game captures (Gears 4 Have the same issue, it looks better in XBox ONe IN VIDEOS) The comparison need to be done with FXAA, more blocky, but better textures and colors.
i have played the remastered and it looks really better than the original version. more vegetation, better light effects ...
Candyland uses bad screenshots !
BatyaLiberator orginal isnt better the original has a black outline and has a very grey pallete the remaster looks softer and just generally better. I actually get more frames on special edition believe it or not on ultra, special edition is more stable as well and allows modders to make bigger and better mods for pc and xbox one. But ps4 is fucked
BatyaLiberator Maybe because it is the remastered version...

William Schaffer because the game hasn't been finished to this day
all people are stuck at Wrong Side of The Tracks mission
BeanJohnAlzahrani I actually do remember that haha
The only problem i have with the remaster right now is that it removed that bleak stormy feel the original had by adding in brighter colors
It continues to impress how the first version looks and to think that the requirements it asks to play are low.
the originals colors are more accurate to real life scenery while the remaster has too much colors in areas. 3:31 this scene is a great example, on the left the color looks more realistic and believable but on the right it looks too much like a harry potter movie. i like how the original looks like somewhere id sit outside next to a fire place thats warm outside.
hazy af. i like the original. vivid, sharp, clear
Just disable Depth of Field smh
That's a midrange enb for $40...
Bloody Ax it performs better though, when I played the original I'd get drops to 40fps in some areas.
64 bit executable is really what you're paying for.
DrearierSpider1 I got it free.
Adom Same, but I mean that's the biggest incentive/upgrade for new owners or people who don't have the DLC's.
DrearierSpider1 True, it's not for everyone. But I remember spending hours tweaking original Skyrim to get consistent frames, which ended up making the game look awful (still had fps issues). Then this comes out and I get 60fps on ultra. So for me it was a godsend.
Watches PS3 vs PS4 video: "Wow, this is a pretty big upgrade."
Watches PC Original vs SE video: "Holy shit, what the fuck did they do?!"
3:30 *Just me or did the original have a better sky? I enjoy a dark night sometimes to have a good look at the stars, and even then it looks more realistic.*
I hate realistic lighting it video games. It can make it more hard to focus. I don't want my vision blurred because it's "realistic". I don't want a game to look realistic. The original version has a sleepy, melancholy atmosphere that is much preferable. Remasters always try to make games look more bright and colorful, but some games should feel dreary. Having less detail actually makes it easier to read the environment, too.
The waves in the water on the original version are better. I like how thick and blue the water looks.
Look at the differences in Whiterun at 5:32. The houses in the original are brown, and the sky is gray. In the remaster, the houses are yellow, and the sky is blue. The brighter colors do not improve the visuals. The darker, Earthier tones of the original creates a more relaxing atmosphere, and is easier on the eyes. This is a good thing because while Skyrim is a huge game with tons of content, it is not a very deep game. It's a game that doesn't demand much from the player which is why the original look is more suitable.
How did Bethesda Fuck up this up so bad? The lighting and particle effects look a little better, but the texture are the same
Skyrim FOG edition.
original seems more beautiful than remastered in my opinion...
Answer: Remaster is just smoother.
I hate that they made it more sunnier when it’s better when it had a dark aesthetic
So the remaster is like looking at the PC original through a foggy window?
I like the original more in about half of those. The veery clear chainmail becoming blurry is a good example of AA killing the textures.
ENB is 10 times better.
an performs 3 times less... xD
***** Makes no diference when u got a GTX 1070 =)
My laptop takes it easy, and visual more way better.
Dyadeshev92 Yeah it was fine on my notebook with a GTX 780m too.
I play Skyrim(original) with enb and lots of mods (better textures, better meshes, unoficial patchs) and the original loks better and performs better than the "remaster"
Please tell me that I am not the only one who thinks that the older graphics sometimes looked better. The textures were sharper, expecially on wood and fur.
Exactly
Exactly
There's basically no reason to buy the special edition other than for that better lighting settings WHICH you totally don't have free mods that can make it even better.
Insanely fast loading screens: “am I a joke to you”
I newer played skyrim before.So I started playing Special edition.Then I tried Original Skyrim (No addons, no mods, no additional textures).An I found out that when walking otside towns in original Skyrim I feel amazing beauty of the world. Walking alonglide Mountains is beautiful. Collor pallete is magical.Swamp is amazing.--And in SE version all of the outside magic is gone. Absolutely.--But in town original Skyrim is dim and boring. SE is much better.
Beautiful video ! nice music nice comparison and i just love the skyrim RE eave more thanks to u :) keep up the great work :)
original looks better!!!!!!!
yes, because he is the ORIGINAL
ummmm.......no
the original was more contrasting and there was no deph of field.
Правильно!
I agree with you.
Original looks more naturally. Productive graphic doesn't mean better.
An artist should paint graphics but not the developers.
Looks like they just fixed a few lighting issues, the water, and made it slightly brighter and more hazy just to slap a full price tag on it again.
Thank you for the video, it's convinced me to play the Vanilla game instead of the Remaster - and by the way, I believe the first song to be used in this video is titled "Streets of Whiterun", looks like that can be updated in the description :)
Lol imagine running oldrim in 2022
am I crazy or do the textures on the remaster look washed out? I love the lighting upgrade but the textures look awash
BrewSquad just mod them if you don't like them
Cant stump the trump true true
It's because the Special Edition uses TAA as an anti aliasing option which blurs the image quite a bit. The original PC version used only MSAA which doesn't blur the image whatsoever.
KeyToAnime
That's why msaa will always be my favorite lol. fxaa isn't too bad when you need a little less taxation on your card while maintaining a decent graphics quality but msaa tickles my nerd boner
BrewSquad Yeah they do.
Vanilla is darker, with better nordic feelings, I definitly prefer this version in aestetics than the special one which is too colored/shiny.
I like both editions but I think I like original is better. The graphics seem a little sharper and I can hear dialogue easier. I kind of like the skies in the old version, it makes everything seem chillier. What a game.
I never liked the ambiance of the special edition. Far too over saturated in colour (vivid yellows, oranges and blues). The whole place looked too warm whereas the original felt cold and harsh - as it should. Not to mention the awful TAA that blurred and washed out the images. Oldrim all the way for me.
So it's a "how things look while staring directly into the sun" simulator. Neat.
People are mixing things up.
Skyrim on last gen consoles looks so much worse than the PC original release.
The improvement of the Remaster is much more pronounced when comparing PS3 vs PS4 than PC, since it was already superior.
Original is better
Garik Nevskoy I fully agree! I loved those water textures and fps drops in the original. They ruined Skyrim!
Garik Nevskoy
Better FPS (original: 30-40 average for me, remaster: 40-60 for me).
Better loading times (original: 5-40 seconds, remaster: 2-20 seconds).
Comes with all DLC.
64 bit engine means 16 exabytes of mods are possible (pretty much infinite mod space).
Compressed file means the game size is smaller than the original. This caused a problem making audio sound worse but this has been fixed.
Better graphics: beautiful god rays, nicer water flowing and some textures are better such as signs and potions.
Finally, colour correction. This makes for some beautiful sights like orange morning skies, deep blue night skies etc.
Michael Moscrop Remastered takes 5 times longer to load and has way less fps than the original, even on low settings for me.
That just means you're running it on a potato. Special Edition is OBJECTIVELY more stable and better looking. It's not perfect but its hell a lot more optimized out the box then oldrim was.
I don't know why, but i like more the use of colors in the Original for the most part, there is a gray tone to the game, while the Special Edition is more colorful, i would love to see a mod to SE to bring back the tone of colors more closely to the Original.
SE has the advatange of better performace thanks to 64 bit engine.

What is the first soundtrack used in this? I remember it when I played it and it's GORGEOUS
It's called Streets Of Whiterun.
Still reminds me why I fell in love with the original.
The new graphics are subtle but add a tad more life to the game.
Kinda wanted more but it is acceptable.
I think it is still moddable, so you can add whatever you want. Most of the improvements are engine and stability fixes.
Honestly I prefer the original. Has a more realistic look to it; the world feels like a believable place. Graphically it's the same level of fidelity anyway. The remaster adds in more color, which makes sense since that was back in again during PS4 gen, but it makes the world feel more video-gamey and fake.
Original artstyle is times better than the remaster. That water effect is so good on original
Hmm, the original looks more detailed n sharp, some extra cloud fluff and mostly lighting effects in the remastered, not really sure it's an improvement or not.
Pc fanboys will say original
Console fanboys will say remaster
what about me: i play both console and pc. Anyways i think original looks better
I hate console but the SE looks little bit better, best shaders, color, water, and antialiasing.
@@Sebastian-oz1lj Console is a disaster. Had this on PS3 oh man you have no idea how many times the game crashed on a save or how fucking long the game took to load. It was like PS1 all over again.

@@tywinlannister8015 thats true i bough remaster and played it. loading time is 7s for me all the time. This is realy fast.
>add some shitty filters and slightly upscaled textures
>leave everything else just as shitty as it was ( story, unresponsive world, crap rpg elements, awful gameplay, wooden npc's etc etc etc )
>ask people to pay the full price again
Its like a fucking bad joke.
Well, I'm one of the lucky to get the game free as i had legendary edition, I can add more mods without crashing every 5 minutes or having to bundle mods together on the upgraded engine. Most of the bugs and "Wooden" npc's can be fixed with community patches and animations, gameplay can be upgraded with mods. The story is a love or hate relation, some people like it others don't (IMO it wasn't that great but was better than other rpg stories I've seen). it runs Smoothly with the new engine and doesn't drop in fps like the original and doesn't crash (As much) like the original.
"Remastered" Doesn't mean a new game, just "Updated". It's still the same game with the same bugs etc, just put on a new engine for play-ability.
The remaster isn't for everyone, If you haven't played the game before and want to try it, paying 40$ for the entire game + dlc on an echanced engine is worth imo, rather than spending the same money on the original game.
NotSoGood Ahh the good old bethesda retarded drones and their "mods will fix it" "argument"..
Protip : Mods should be used to enchance the quality of a game, not to FIX its most basic problems. And most of Skyrim mods ain't fixing shit, they are just adding sugar coating.
And you know what ? Sugar coated shit is still shit, its just got sugar on it.
Not every game is perfect and has it's quirks, Sometimes those quirks cause for hilarious moments in the games. Honestly though, it's your opinion whether you like the game or not.
i appreciate your opinion but you are wrong.
they didn't just "add some shitty filters", they completely revamped the lighting, the shadows, added god rays, added dynamic depth of field and more.. the game is also now 64bit as apposed to the original only being 32bit meaning it can utilise more than the 3gb limit the original had, meaning more stability and less frame drops/freezes
the things you stated as being "shit" is your opinion and nothing more and holds no weight unless you can elaborate on why and not just "its shit"
also dont call people retarded when they nicely tried to explain certain things that might help sort out some of the issues you have with skyrim.
also noone is asking you to pay for anything, if you dont want to buy skyrim again, dont buy it, simple.
and its not full price, i do agree it should be a tad cheaper for a 5 year old game slightly remastered but anyone whos a fan of skyrim will probably just tell you that the game is well worth the price, especially if you havent play it before.
people like you are cancer to the industry, how can you defend this, the differences are laughable, have you seen good remasters ? for example, half life 1 remastered, this was good remaster, skyrim special edition is a joke, free mods on pc can give you more.
so they just put an instagram filter on it and call it "REMASTER"
I didn't notice it until recently, but in Skyrim Vanilla, the audio sounds unleveled, like if there was music playing, you could barely hear npcs talk
You can adjust audio levels in the settings menu.
