'Skyrim Special Edition' audio took a step backward
As a rule, remasters of classic video games are supposed to be clear steps forward in audiovisual quality. However, Bethesda didn't get that memo before launching Skyrim Special Edition. PC and Xbox One owners have noticed that their version of Skyrim is using highly compressed audio that's noticeably worse than in the original release. You're fine if you have the PS4 version (or are willing to modify your PC copy), but it's a rude surprise for everyone else.
What's on TV: World Series, 'Titanfall 2,' 'Skyrim: Special Edition'
Assuming the new season of Black Mirror hasn't scared you into unplugging everything, there's plenty to watch this week. While Westworld has finally started to show a few hints of where we're going in this fantastical experience, The Walking Dead came back with a thud or two. The World Series is ready to roll, as either the Chicago Cubs or Cleveland's baseball team will end a long championship dry spell, and this week the NBA regular season starts. Titanfall 2 brings its mech/shooter action to multiple platforms this time around, and Skyrim Special Edition brings us back to a better-looking version of Tamriel. On streaming, we have Werner Herzog's volcano exploration flick Into the Inferno. Look after the break to check out each day's highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).
'Skyrim,' 'Fallout 4' to offer user mods and PS4 Pro support
Bethesda and Sony have kissed and made up. Who benefits from that corporate make-out session? You, because mod support is en route for Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, according to a post on Bethesda.net. Skyrim mods will show up first, but there isn't a timetable for when that will actually happen.
'Skyrim Special Edition' is the remaster you asked for
The rumors are true: We're getting a prettier version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Developer Bethesda ported the original game to this round of modern consoles as part of the development process for last year's wildly popular Fallout 4, so it was just a matter of time before we actually saw it. And guess what? Mods are coming with it, thanks to Bethesda's framework that allows players to use fan-made customizations on consoles. This new version of the game looks really well-improved in the visual department too and you can check it out in the trailer embedded below.
