Aaaaaand they've just announced that
PS4 users won't have access to mods after all. Apparently, Sony is to blame.
Well, screw that. I ain't buying the game all over again just to see it in higher definition.
I've been wondering about getting an Xbox One for some time, and now I'm thinking that maybe I should.
As I see it, there are some pros, even though I'm not a big-time gamer and so it's hard to justify the cost. First, I
really want to see & play
Skyrim in high(er) definition, and more importantly, with mods. I love
Skyrim to death, but I've played it through enough times to have pretty-much memorized the game -- I want to see what the mod developers have done with it.
As a bonus, I seem to remember reading that the newest Xbox systems will play 4K videos. Am I remembering that right? If so, it'd probably be cheaper and/or more practical to buy an Xbox One than a dedicated 4K video player.
Oooorrrr, for the price of an Xbox One, I could probably buy a decent gaming computer. I wouldn't need to buy a monitor, since I could just plug it into the television and use it for gaming. There are already a zillion or so
Skyrim mods available for PC.
Another plus to going this route is that -- eventually -- they're going to finish
Skywind and
Skyblivion. I've never played
Morrowind, but I'd like to, especially on a modern game engine with voice acting, good graphics, etc. And I would love to see
Oblivion (especially with slightly more ... intelligent ... NPC dialog) on the
Skyrim game engine.
Thoughts?
