Key word “Seems Like” they put effort…guess your trying give yourself a valid reason to buy an old game huh. If i where I would double check if they actually put any effort in this new Skyrim. if PC has pulled it off years ago with mods and created there own remasted veesion do you really think Bethesda put that much effort in remastering this game to new gen consoles. Makes ya wonder huh?

i never paid for my first game, it was a gift…

I think the real reason Skyrim Remastered is free for PC if you have all docs is because they want the mod creators. If it was $60 on PC the modders would not buy it and continue modding old Skyrim to still great effect and console players will not get as many mods. So they are attracting the mod creators to the new Skyrim so they start creating mods and porting their old mods over so PC and console players alike can enjoy them.

Its free on PC. $60 on PS4 and Xbox one. If any game have a reason to charge 60 bucks, its Skyrim. Dont buy it or just wait for a sell.

Even worse is why should you buy this having the community doing the same thing FOR FREE?! The mod Community has already fix most of the bugs and graphical issues with the different versions of the Unofficial Patch, has given us new and crazy content AND insane new and better graphics! … again … for free!!
(And better if you ask me[Skywind kicks this remasters out of the window on every single way)

…. Also .. as a game developer myself … the attitude of Pete Hines is the worst! Jeez dude!

I heard the SE will be in your Steam library automatically on release day. Only if you already own it with all DLC or Legendary Edition.

Todd even said it’ll be free for PC users who own it with all DLC or Legendary Edition because high end mods outdo everything the remaster offers. So if PC gamers were charged, they wouldn’t bother unless you’re a PC gamer who never uses mods. The real value in the remaster for PC users is it’ll be 64-bit unlike the original’s 32-bit. I hope X1 and PS4 versions are 64-bit too. I heard 64-bit makes the game more stable and it can allow more complex mods without destabilizing the game as much..

Considering the fact Pete said they wanted to show it off one more time before release convinces me it’ll be more than just updated graphics and art. Also, consider what Pete said in an interview. He said they’re trying to make it as next gen as possible. But if it doesn’t live up to the $60, I’ll probably wait for a price drop. As a PS3 veteran, if there is any performance issues of any kind on PS4 and if it’s still very buggy, I’ll most likely pass on the game completely. They’ve earned my trust on FO4 on PS4 aside from Far Harbor (I can live without mods). So I expect the remastered Skyrim to perform flawlessly on PS4 even at high memory (for example, 100mb) in the save files. My FO4 performance didn’t worsen at all even at 50mb.

Likely due to the fact almost everything that was promised was not there on release. What was seen and confirmed pre-release is nowhere to be found post-release.
