I've got it on my rental list for Xbone so I'll see how it looks with this new graphical upgrade before I decide whether to buy for PS4 when it goes down in price.

Yes.
When it was announced, I swore I wouldn't bother. Then the comparison videos started appearing, and my brother owes me a birthday present, and Skyrim is pretty much my favourite game of all time (even better than my previous favourite, Street Fighter 2), so I have to have it.
Another couple of hundred hours will be spent on it I'm sure.
I'm already thinking what character I'll go with for the first play through. I think I'll do a pure mage (robes only, no armour) as I really enjoyed that last time I did it, and I think conjuration. The Ritual stone power when there are loads of corpses about it always a laugh. Not sure it that will be powerful enough for master difficulty, but we shall see.

Had mine on order since announced.
Had it on PS3 and 360, got nearly 1600 hours of playtime, cannot fault that value for money

Might go for a full on tank warrior or something this time.

That's good going. 5 minutes in and the game crashes on Xbone.

I'm not sure what's going on in this trailer but Skyrim Remastered looks absolutely nothing like this on Xbone. In fact, it's identical to the Xbox 360 version but with better textures. There are zero improvements to the lighting like in the trailer.

Really? Well this comparison from a week ago says different...
Should have gone to Spec Savers.

How anyone can spot any difference from that clip is beyond me. Also has anyone noticed it adds a wierd brown tinge to everything? If thats supposed to be "warm" I can't wait for mods to fix it.

My son is playing it and no crashes so far, maybe 2hrs in

Looks good, although not great. Textures are still quite poor in places. Overall pleased with it though, as I never managed to play much of this when it was first released years ago.
Cant get any of the mods to work though! (ps4)

It must have just been a hiccup. I've given it a good go today and it's not crashed since that first one. I can see some of the improvements with lighting now, it's most apparent at sunrise/sunset when the sun is low in the sky and everything gets bathed in a softer light. The textures are definitely better and haven't had any frame rate issues. Very pleased overall.

On the title screen there is a menu item for mods. (At least there is on the Xbone, I should imagine it's the same?)

That's what I need to have a try at as I loved conjuring in Oblivion but I went for an archer elf. I love thwacking baddies in the throat from afar.
