With its Remastered edition, Skyrim will update these primary visual elements:
-
Art & Effects
-
Volumetric God Rays (maybe the same as what we saw in Fallout 4?)
-
Dynamic Depth of Field (like Dynavision)
-
Screen-Space Reflections
-
New Water & Snow Shaders
Sure, it doesn't look quite as good as a fully-modded Skyrim (that's our screenshot above, from an overhaul article), but it's a jump-start for anyone intimidated by seeking and installing mods.
With regard to TES VI, Bethesda Game Director Todd Howard spoke to the topic on the YouTube Live E3 stream. Howard stated that “I think it's good to tell our fans in these moments, yes, of course we're making [TES VI],” later stating that the game hasn't even finalized its technology yet. Howard quells excitement by warning that two other “major projects” will likely be announced prior to TES VI.
