Kind of sad but at the same time I don’t think I would trust Bethesda of today especially to properly remake it anyways.

      Just modernize the graphics, clean up the audio a bit, update the cut scenes, maybe update the inventory management. That’s about it.

      I really don’t think Bethesda’s style ever suited Fallout, so I’m happy to hear they’re not planning it. Originally these games were novelistic, bitingly witty, and thematically coherent. It should have gone to a developer who isn’t obsessed with crafting loops, simulationism for its own sake, and common denominator storytelling.

      [Meeting screeches to a halt]

      “What do you mean they don’t need to be remade, Tom? How are we supposed to charge $60 for a 20-year-old game we have the rights to, then?”

      Exactly the same in every way, but modern graphics.

      But only if Tim Cain was overseeing it and Todd Howard was not involved in way whatsoever.

        Beyond maybe some better UI scaling and high DPI options, I still don’t feel they need a remake.

        If you want spiritual successors with moden engines, there are plenty of good ones. The Wasteland series is a good option. There are other indie titles too, like Underrail.

              I loved it. It’s not at the level of Fallout2 when it comes to story telling but it’s very decent. Especially considering team size. But they have poured so much love and effort into it. Well worth the play. Also they did make the game react to main character, so it’s worth replaying couple of times.

      If you ask Todd, they need to be always online with atom store built-in. I mean how else is he gonna milk more $$$ out of fans.
