Understandable, but those issues are fixable.

you could go up to a PC parts store and buy a PC Optical drive, and dismantle it, and use those parts to fix the dying laser..

I am telling you, you can make alot of money fixing old PCs and Consoles (For example, fixing an Atari jaguar can net you over $500 of pure profit)

Not yet.

What are you talking about? I thought the Xbox One doesn't have backwards comparability. Unless you mean playing Skyrim on the new 360 design they revealed?

My rule of thumb that is a guarantee for no disappointment: never buy first-gen anything.

Please keep the gratuitous jabs at other consoles out of your posts, thanks.

Lol, quick edit

kiddie console? ha what do you consider the kinect to be, especially that you must have it kinected at all times? I know many grown men such as myself don't want to be all jumping around or even standing up to play so I would say that the xbox is becoming more of a "kiddie" console then anything else (except the Wii).

the moderator edited it.

Really?

Lol at thread title

So what? It'll be same ol' bugged Skyrim.

Merged similar threads to create a general topic about Skyrim for next gen consoles.

Same here, it will be the same game as 360 perhaps with updated graphics but still no mods allowed....for $500 you're halfway to building a powerful PC which is what I plan on doing eventually as I'm not interested in all this stalking crap nor not being able to actually own my game and do what I wish with it. I was a loyal console player for years but all the new crap they're pulling with Xbox Done is giving me the much needed push to PC

They wouldn't bother tossing money down a well. Very few people would buy it and it would be a waste of rescources.

I think I've got that version, is that the one that comes with mods and superior graphics?

They all have mods. Just saying

Mods such as 2k texture packs, combat improvements, new races, other graphical improvements, story enhancements, new armour, new weapons, player homes, quests. Which are all free btw.

Graphical mods, no (I don't have a 2k tv, so I wouldn't need it for any platform) Other stuff? Yes. Free? Yes.

To answer questions about whether Skyrim will run better on next-gen systems, it won’t.

Actually it will probably run worse, or not at all.

Console games aren’t like PC games, they’re designed to work only on the console they were made for.

The reason you can run older Xbox and PS2 games on the new systems is because of "emulation".

If Microsoft and Sony decide not to include emulators on their new systems ( and they will not...) then you won’t be able to play your last gen games on them at all.

> (Case in point, Morrowind for Xbox runs significantly worse on Xbox 360.) <

Better hardware won’t magically make the game run better, the games are designed to take advantage of only the specific specs of the console.

(Szenario: What would happen if you tried running a Windows application from a PC on a PS3 Cell processor.

Probably it would run with some minor changes like a P4 processor, crap... but recoding it from scratch only for the Cell processor

believe me, not even a i7 would come close.)

For the Xbox One porting it might be as easy as taking the PC version, stripping out Steamworks DRM, replacing it Xbox One DRM and locking the graphics options at medium/high.

Im not sure it would be quite that easy, is the Xbox Ones OS that close to a PCs?
I know when Porting games to other consoles nowadays, the differences in the OS can be a rather big obstacle...
