Fallout 1&2 remaster

Imagine wanting a Fallout 1/2 remaster when there are games like Ultima IV that could actually use it.

 

[Red Hexapus]

Seeing current trends it would be a dumbed down 3D shooter with 12 cosmetic DLCs that costs 40EUR and the main protagonist would be retconned as a trans POC (fully voiced of course) removed from vault/village for political views.
So I guess my answer is: Careful what you wish for...

full on remakes by bethesda

 

[Daedalos]

I would honestly be very hyped about a fallout 1+2 remaster if it was done very tastefully and with respect to the games

Would buy it in a heartbeat.

Instead we get this

That was made by Bioware!

The only things wrong with the original was the inventory screen (listing most recent items at the bottom) and Ian not having control of his little friend, both probably fixed with mods.
So no Remaster needed.

Things like Myron's rape would be removed, you know.

Only if Beamdog do it

There was a very brief period where we were mostly free of censors. It was glorious.

What do you mean by “done tastefully”. I take that to mean no new graphics, no added, removed or altered content. What does that leave for the remaster? The game already works on modern machines and comes patched to run at modern resolutions on the Steam and GOG releases.

My point is that a remaster of these games would be either tasteless or pointless and why on Earth would you be willing to throw money away “in a heartbeat” to re-buy a game you (I assume) already own.

Fallouts are perfectly playable nowadays, it's the early 90s and 80s RPGs that could have a decent remaster.

On the other hand, hoping for a decent remaster nowadays is fabulously optimistic.

I mean, it's possible to imagine remaster (more like a remake tho) a la ATOM RPG/Wasteland 3 on Unity which can be played on any platform, with gamepad for couch fags but who'd be able to do that with respect to originals? Basically no one even if Beth would outsource this. So it's better to forget about it.

 

[Sykar]

No thanks. To me FO 1+2 are timeless classics and I enjoy even their graphics to this day despite the flaws.

And boring and non-tactical combats, don't forget about it.

 

[Melcar]

Why would you want a remaster? The originals are perfectly playable and mods fix most of the issues they had.

 

[Gahbreeil]

Neverwinter Nights with KotoR models, GURPS or D20 Modern or both and you've got yourself a buyer for this remake if it's shipped as a single game in which the choices from the first game affect the second one. More quests, more random events, more locations and a bigger map. Everything should be just the same yet with better graphics. Same turn based combat and so on.

They say Bard's Tale remakes were decent. Wasteland Remaster also seems to keep the original experience quite well.

If remastered Fallout 1 / 2 is faithful to the originals - casuals would complain about weird hex-grid movement and battles with rats taking forever. And grumpy old men at NMA and Codex would still find some wierd reason to prefer original versions. The target market for such product is "no one".

There is absolutely no reason to remaster Fallout 1&2 as they still run fine on modern machines.

I think it would be neat to see a remake in 3D on Unity or some such where the player has total camera control (ala Divinity: Original Sin) if only so that the player could more easily see all of the doors which are not facing the camera in Fallout 2.

Fallout combat is about as fun as it can get without being tactical.

 

[The Jester]

There is already a Fallout 1 remaster

Yeah, but so did Baldur’s Gate, NWN, Dark Souls, and many other games that got a “remaster”. The whole remaster thing is, for the most part, a scam to get people to spend 40 bucks on a 10-20 year old game which they already owned anyway.

I hate this remaster culture that is plaguing the video gaming hobby right now.

I could go for a remake that fleshed out all those little descriptors you get during things like combat and radiation sickness. Have stuff like hitting someone so hard their eyeball pops out of their head be something you saw as clearly as the death animations that are already there. In Fallout 2 you have all those unarmed attack variants, it would be nice to have different animations for your Piercing Strikes and Hammer Punches than the same one punch animation you start with. Lots of nice little things they could do.
