    i understand that the PC will always offer far better visuals etc, however what I meant was that I read that the game was being developed for consoles, then ported to the PC, so to me that would indicate that their wont be a massive gap graphics wise between the PC and the Xbox/PS3. but yea, im sure the modding community will soon re-swing the balance towards the PC.

    Maybe I have been reading it totally wrong and Im making an * of myself, but thats the slant i received.

    Also, this is unrelated, but Todd Howard and Bruce Nesmith (Lead Designer) and
    Matt Carofano (Lead Artist) conducted a Q&A session.

    No its being developed simultaneously on all three platforms mate :50: trust me mate I know everything about this game. Both PS3 and Xbox 360 will look similar whereas depending on your pc it could look slightly worse than the console versions to unbelievably superior. They're also talking about a Wii U version, which would be a port.

    Ok fair enough mate, must have been the media putting there own slant on it :50:

    yea, a wii version would be interesting for, like, an hour. I think it would be terrible though :bbpd:

    Yeah they tend to report wrong, Bethesda are a very professional company and won't leave any version unpolished and the rule goes if a game comes out for the PC and consoles it will always be better on the PC, most of the time :icon_mrgreen: there is rare exceptions.

    As for the Wii U version, the Wii U is more powerful(only slightly) then the 360 and PS3 mate so it would look exactly the same :50:

    yea I know the Wii U will have the same performance level as far as graphics go but the gameplay itself could end up quite tedious unless they are very careful how they implement motion controlls. Wouldn't mind giving it a go, but I don't think it would keep me away from the xbox for too long :50:

    Exactly! Usually there's months and months of unavoidable hype, but I never even heard the word 'Skyrim' til 3 days ago!

    Ps. Anyone want to answer my question? :50:
