I want to know what the fps will be for this edition on ps4.The current fps on PS3 is 30 fps.I would expect skyrim special edition to run at 60fps.With the improvement of 64 bit and the combination of new more powerful console hardware.Theres so little gameplay or actual info on this edition from Bethesda.

It really depends on how much those resolutions will drain on those systems, but also how well Bethesda optimizes each version for each console. Take a look at Star Wars: Battlefront - an absolutely beautiful game, is locked at 60FPS for both consoles, but it's at 900p on PS4 and 720p on XB1. Now that game also has a lot of action going on all at once, Skyrim has a lot more concentrated moments but a very complex world.


Consider that Fallout 4 is a 30FPS on the consoles right now, but it is really steady (on the PS4, it takes a lot to drop the framerate at all). Skyrim is 5 years older than Fallout 4, so I would suspect that is possible to get 60fps, but probably only at 720p. Honestly, I wouldn't mind a lower framerate if it raised the resolution.

I guess it will be 1080p and 30 fps. The same as Fallout 4. I don't thing the PS4 could handle 60 fps with all those graphical enhancements.

Also Battlefront uses a different engine as the Creation Engine.

Frostbite 3 is a more advanced engine!

Why is FPS so important to people playing a single player game?

There are a lot people who got used to 60+ FPS (me included).

Everything below that looks choppy and creates a headache. I even stopped playing Witcher 3 completely because it ran at 55 on my system, instead of having a stable 60.

It's simply a matter of preference and what you're used too.

Consoles are actually better at 'hiding' the 30 FPS than most PC-monitors.

A 60hz monitor that runs a game at 30 FPS will look gruesome, while a 30-FPS game on a console with all that motion blur actually feels somewhat fine.

Skyrim SE will be running at vsynced 240 fps and it's going to be a tablet exclusive

Jokes aside, I would expect Skyrim to be framelocked at 30, as far as consoles go. But if they manage to pull a 60 out of the old girl, why not?
