It does not transform the visuals to a level where it can outshine the current games that push the PlayStation 4’s graphic capabilities to the limit, but it does look like its at home on its current console. The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Special Edition gives this great game an age defying facelift and tummy tuck. Having spent some time with Skyrim Special Edition, I would like to share my initial impression of this enhanced port to the current console generation.
The passage of time is rarely kind to game visuals, and as amazing as Skyrim looked when it was brand new, there are many titles on the current console generation that make it show its age.
Five years later in 2011, the follow up Skyrim was unleashed onto the world and the impressive visuals of Oblivion didn’t seem so impressive anymore. Ten years ago The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion made its debut on the Xbox 360 and its graphics, along with the massive scope of its world, were extremely impressive at the time. Five years is quite a long time as far as video game advancements are concerned.
