Fallout fans are desperate for news on upcoming games in Bethesda's post-apocalyptic role-playing series, and it looks like a pretty solid tease has just dropped from a surprising source.
I’d much rather play Fallout: Seattle, or Fallout: Minneapolis, or Fallout: Beijing (or Moscow or Lagos or Paris or Paris, Texas, or…) than a prettier rendition of 3 or New Vegas.
Fallout Denver would be fun, there was already plans for one in project Van Buren. Denver has been overrun by feral dogs, and Boulder is beneath a giant impenetrable dome
One the one hand F:NV is a broken mess that could seriously use a once-over… but one the other I shudder at the thought of all the mods this might break.
… presumably it would ‘break’ basically all of them, given that this is a remaster, aka, a different game, the same way that the GTA Definitive editions are remasters of the original games.
The Creation Engine is now … what, 15 years older?
And if they do what they did with the Oblivion remaster, it’ll be a frankenstein of UE5 and the Creation Engine.
So yeah, you’d have to make all the mods all over again, perhaps with a few very rare exceptions…
But it wouldn’t break the original FONV.
… Unless they just decide to do that also, like they did with FO4.
… Also FONV works fine now, modders have fixed and expanded it greatly.
Oh I am intimately familiar with Viva New Vegas and the general modding scene, I’ve spent probably several hundred hours over the years modding New Vegas. Hence my apprehension.
Oblivion was alright, but I remember seeing most players topped out at like 5 hours played.
It was fun to see it all again, but the novelty wore off quick…
This tho, I could see sinking 10s likely 100s if hours into.
4 years newer doesn’t sound like much these days, but 2002 to 2006 was a huge jump. NV has a much better starting point for an update, and could feel like a truly modern game that pulls people in without having to drastically change the experience.
Plus the desert setting makes it easy to hide graphical shortcomings. So even after cranking the resolution up, it’s not gonna take a lot more resources, there’s plenty of room to improve other stuff too.
yeah, as someone who just played through New Vegas again due to S2 of the show, it would have to be some serious quality of life changes to make me shell out for it again.
I have never played FO3 though and im putting my hope capital into willing that into existence
I want to but I don’t own FO3, and at this point i’m waiting to see if a remaster is real. Kinda burnt out on Fallout at this point and need a break anyway.

Eh, I first bought it 20 years ago, and have bought it a couple times since on different platforms.
If it’s $30 bucks I’m buying it regardless. Maybe not right at first, but eventually I will.
That’s also why I don’t think any game shouldnt be able to run “maxxed out” on release. A great game people are still gonna want to run it a decade later. It doesn’t hurt anyone if the dial turns to 11 if 10 is the same setting it’s always been.
So make games that in a decade still look decent on settings no one could enable all at once on release. It doesn’t change the quality on release, just gives it legs to look good longer.

I wanted that Fallout Miami mod so badly…
Fallout Denver would be fun, there was already plans for one in project Van Buren. Denver has been overrun by feral dogs, and Boulder is beneath a giant impenetrable dome
I find this 15 minutes after the article has been updated saying “lol jk they’re not actually making a NV remaster.” 😮💨
if it’s just gonna be another DLSS and TAA smearfest that needs framegen to even appear optimized they can keep it as far as i’m concerned

i dont think theyll just update the old game theyd probably just do what they did to oblivion and sell it again as a seperate thing
Yep so it’ll crash just as often.
Oblivion was alright, but I remember seeing most players topped out at like 5 hours played.

Just play a Tale of Two Wastelands

That’s fair. Most of the games are pretty samey.
Eh, I first bought it 20 years ago, and have bought it a couple times since on different platforms.
If it’s $30 bucks I’m buying it regardless. Maybe not right at first, but eventually I will.
That’s also why I don’t think any game shouldnt be able to run “maxxed out” on release. A great game people are still gonna want to run it a decade later. It doesn’t hurt anyone if the dial turns to 11 if 10 is the same setting it’s always been.

A new peripheral to get the full fisto experience?
Guitar heroNew Vegas will never be the same againIt was hilarious seeing people waste their money on that.
Jokes on them, I was wasting my money on xbox’s subscription service at the time and didn’t have to buy it…
Just started to replay Fallout 2 with my spouse. Looking forward to the New Vegas Remake!
