I'm a programming student in VB and C++, I know it would resources to port, you're just assuming it wouldn't sell and it would take a loss, which unless, you can see the future, that's something you don't truely know. And like I've said twice already, they ported to the PS3 which was way more taxing than this port be. If they don't consider it, the pain of the PS3 port would be the reason more than anything else.

lol

OK, now this makes a bit more since.

Skyrim isnt needed on next gen anyway. Current gen works fine, just not maximum quality. TES VI is what we should be looking forward to. Or fallout 4, if you like fallout.

With all the HD collections released this gen it wouldn't surprise me. I highly doubt Bethesda would release a 5 year anniversary edition on PS3 and Xbox 360. I know I'm getting the Mass Effect trilogy (milk the last drops) edition with all the DLC and maybe Borderlands 2. So sure, why not Skyrim too, i'm not really interested in getting a PC to play games, it would be nice to have that option.

Still a lot of work, One is probably easiest as it uses an Windows 8 variant, but even this is plenty of work as it has to confirm to the xbox one standard.

Note the only thing you will get is the high resolution texture pack and high graphic settings anyway.

There is no word on Skyrim being on next-gen, and as do I doubt such would happen.

so you are aware of the workings of an OS, its similarities, and its compatibility, even when it hasn't been released yet?

for all anyone knows atm, a port to either console could be just as taxing

Not really. Both have been confirmed to use PC based architecture. The Cell was the reason the ports were so difficult as it was never meant to be used as a gaming chip and Sony forced it, not the OS. As I said, it should be just as easy as the ports from PC to 360 were as soon as they get used to the new coding and everything. It doesn't mean that it will happen, but still, it'll be easier if they decide to do it later in the gen or something.

I can't wait for Fallout 4 either. I would love to see where they take the series now that consoles aren't holding them back(or at least not as much anyway).

i dont care much about fallout.

Perhaps in the past, but Skyrim is developed as an xbox product primarily and ported to other media.

This shows itself in the incredible difficulty they had getting the game somewhat presentable at all for ps3, especially the DLC's and also, when Skyrim was just released a lot of pc forumers posted about the troubles they had with their mouse controls. Turns out the game was set as standard to use an xbox controller and they manually had to select the mouse option. As I understand it, menus are still somewhat of a hassle to use on pc and many people just use a wireless xbox controller on their pc.

When it comes to having the game on the next generation of consoles, it's a nice idea but I don't think it's going to happen.

As it has been explained to me, their is a large difference in electronical architecture between the two generations at it wouldn't be all that dissimilar from trying to run your microwave defrosting program with your washing machine.

That, and it probably would cost a lot of money too.

I would think that Bethesda would view it more from the perspective of economic sense. Why waste anytime at all re-releasing the Legendary edition of Skyrim on the next generation console when it would be much more profitable and economically beneficial, in the long run, to just focus on TES VI and other new title's for the next gen consoles.

Now, I agree with you saying "people would love having a game like this to play on next gen systems" and we will, it is just highly doubtful that it will be Skyrim. Patience.............. the next gen RPG's will come along and you will forget all about Skyrim

With all that being said though, if you're right and they do re-release Skyrim on Xbox One.. I will most certainly buy it, but I'm not going to hold my breath...

from what they have said in press releases. we have yet to see if this is accurate. Console Developers say stuff like this every gen to try and snag sales.

EX: May I remind you, when they first started production on the PS2, Sony tried to have it classed as a form of PC, so they wouldn't have to pay as much taxes shipping them overseas?

Translation: I asked a question, didn't get the answer that I wanted, so now I'm going to complain about the answers to my question.

Win.

X-Box one by all accounts is shaping up to be completely pants so why would they bother ?.

^ This.

HD collections/remastered editions are very popular nowadays... I think an updated Skyrim with no loading times, lag or bugs would be in high demand for next gen consoles... especially in the early days when all you'll see is garbage like COD and FIFA. Give me a Skyrim remastered than 99% of the crap that will inevitably be released.

"completely Pants"?

can you explain what that means..?

*Pictures someone trying to put the Xbox One on as pants and walking down the street*

PANTS

• Another possible etymology for the "displeasing" meaning is the German expression "toten Hosen." Literally "dead pants", the expression means "impotent" or "nothing going on".

am I reading this properly.
You want a remastered Skyrim even though it hasnt even been out for 2 years.

That, and he hates Skyrim, because killcams killed the series...

I think killcams are great.

No loading times lag or bugs HA the only place that will happen is in your dreams.

How did porting to the next gen consoles turn into no bugs? I can see the loading times and lags going away, but the bugs?

Wow. The OP asks a question, then doesn't like the answers to the question so decides to start arguing endlessly about said question. Well, OP, if you already know the answer, then why ask us forumites who don't know anything?

I am 99% sure there isn't going to be a re release of skyrim for the next gen (unless we're talking like 8 years down the road or so when those consoles days are numbered).

Making a re master for the next gen will take lots of time and man power, the game isn't just a PC game. It's an Xbox port, meaning they made the game for the Xbox, then ported it over to other media. That's why it took them so many months to get DLC for the Ps3, because they were having LOTS of problems from the differences between the xbox and the ps3.

Not to mention, Bethesda has their hands full with the next fallout game, the next elder scrolls game and such that they aren't going to have time to have someone work on remastering skyrim for the next gen consoles.

The only games that are being re released now a days are older games that the game developers are short on work and money and had to re release their old hits for more cash. (ie, god of war, shadow of the colossus).

Bethesda isn't one of those companies. They have more then enough work ahead of them that they don't need to go back and start remastering old content. Maybe if they had no ideas for games, which is something they have in abundance. (I mean we still haven't even seen all the provinces in tamriel, let alone the rest of nirn)

How can anyone know yet if Xbox One is "completely pants" when all we have seen of it is at the reveal where they focused more on "watching T.V" rather than gaming, which was a bit discerning I admit... but that doesn't mean that it won't be a great gaming console. None of us will truly know whether or not it is "completely pants" until a month or two after it's release.

If Xbox One does turn out to be crap then all we can do is hope that the PS4 will trump it... or just go back to PC gaming which I may do either way.
