Comparison of original skyrim graphics vs remastered version

Once again we echo a video from Digital Foundry, this time it is a graphical comparison between the original version of Skyrim and the new remastered version that will reach Xbox One and PS4 game consoles in addition to the PC.

Remastered Skyrim is graphically worse than the original

Skyrim was launched 5 years ago and became a new benchmark in the RPG genre, a great world to explore with the possibility of choosing between various classes of characters for our adventure. After these 5 years comes the remastered version for the PC and the new consoles, five years go a long way, so we hope to see a great leap in graphic quality, right?

We start to watch the video and soon realize that this remastered version does not represent a significant leap forward compared to the original version for PC, in fact on several occasions a shorter drawing distance and more blurred textures with less details can be seen. usually. The original Skyrim shows superior graphic quality when it comes to viewing distant objects, which we appreciate with much more clarity and detail than in the new remastered version. We also see how the color palette has been altered and the light effects when casting a spell are lower.

Despite this, the game reaches consoles locked at 30 fps to maintain a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. We already know that there is nothing like a cinematic experience in a game at 30 fps, right?

Since we know that a video is worth a thousand words and more than 100 images, we leave you in comparative view so that you can judge for yourself.
