As much as I want to bash this for being yet another release of Skyrim, it is impressive to see it on a handheld at a stable framerate.

I can remember how many issues the old console versions had.

I don't see how you can bash making a game accessible on more platforms, if it was re-released over and over on the same platform then yeah.

I remember when it got announced for the Switch and people thought that it wouldn't work. Hopefully this proves that it can and is not just a cut down section of the entire map.

I think I should have been a little clearer, more the fact that they are asking full retail price for a game from 2011.

I'm all for more classics coming to Switch, but that is a lot of money for a game that is almost seven years old. Yes, I know that development for new platforms costs money, but it is a lot of money.

Remastered games are usually sold at full price too.

While I do agree with you, in this case, Skyrim has been remastered and rereleased so many times that they are just milking it completely. It's more of a cash grab than doing gamers a favor by bringing back a classic game that is STILL played a ton on all current platforms it's on.
I think this is what Mark's issue is. The fact that it's still played and popular they just keep releasing it to milk it.

Well I don't agree that is a good enough reason to not bring more games to the Switch though. If I was a Switch owner I'd welcome portable versions of my favourite games.
 
Coming from a Switch owner. I'm all for Skyrim coming to it because it proves it can handle massive games if developed right, and I'm all for other games coming. (I for one would kill to see F1 and Metro to come to it.) But I do see where NBD and WYP are coming from with how many times Skyrim has been remastered and released, even I'll say it's a bit stupid by now.

I can't see it selling terribly well though. There's too many players who have sunk so much time in the other versions to even think it's worth starting the game all over again for the sake of portability.

Because lately everything Intel brings out people mopping about new boards, price and tim. It's why I stopped posting many things here.

I understand what you mean, but I don't think you should stop posting news about Intel. Those performance numbers are amazing. I'd be tempted by an 8700K if it performs better than an R7 1700 for only €40 more. An R7 1700 comes in at €280-320. If the 8700K beats it in both games and multi-threaded loads for €350, that's not a bad deal, especially considering the limited motherboards for Ryzen. Like I said, I'd be tempted by that. As much as I dislike Intel as a company, I'll buy what I think is right for me and my needs. I won't have to explain myself to others. But if people (including myself) want to criticise, don't let that stop you from posting.

Keep it coming :D I don't get the board rant. 95%+ of all people have their pc for more than 3 years. Most even longer. So the board/PCIe lanes/Tim rant, is just people who want to rant.

I'm tempted by the 8700k ^_^ Like A LOT :D:D
I'm also tempted by the 1700, but the mATX and ITX boards look like crap.
I want something like a strix.

This is one of the biggest reasons to go Intel: they have offer more motherboard options for smaller form factors. We know that Ryzen is capable of running at decent overclocks with a small motherboard so why not release them? Are the board manufacturers waiting for the APUs? If so, that could be a while. Why not just get them out now in preparation?

Thought this was already known about 5.0? I'm sure we had an article up about it. If not, at least I knew because I saw news about 5.0 coming shortly after 4.0.

I wonder what GPUs will use 4.0? I don't think Volta will. I think Navi will be the first one to use it since it probably won't come out till 2018. Nvidia I expect will be the first one on 5.0 however.

We already knew about PCIe 5.0, but only the speeds that PCI-SIG are aiming for and its planned 2019 release. This is more of an update that delivers more info on the subject.

I feel the same way. I currently have a Ryzen 7 1700 but am wanting to move to a itx system so the 8700K and a Asus Strix X370i are now firmly on my radar.
