That was the one thing that bummed me out about getting a PS4, not being able to play skyrim. I'm a sucker for that game, and will definitely be getting this for the PS4. Maybe someday I'll build a pc again.

Back when I lived in a place that had a winter, I would load up skyrim, turn off the heat and crack the windows. The chill, frozen breeze flowing inside the house added a great level of immersion

That is great. To contrast that, I had a winter where I played Far Cry 2 non stop... exploring the African Savannah and killing all the men I see. Then I would go outside to the 7-Eleven next door in 18" deep snow. It was such a jarring contrast every time I went outside after playing FC2 for hours.

Are they only adding the graphics stuff from FO4, or also the game play with snappier movement and better gun/bow-play?
