Rumor: Fallout and Elder Scrolls remasters from inXile

[None]

The only remasters I'd accept would be ones with enhanced modding tools and more of the game exposed to modders. Something like Rome 1's remaster.

 

[mondblut]

Why not remaster the Goldenbox games instead?

That would require porting them to youtube edition with mandatory 150 years worth of brutal lore rape. Nah, let the old boys rest in peace.

Thinking about it, I think Battlespire and Shadowkey could actually benefit from a moderate budget remake, and the two could even use the same engine to a degree. The two are good games, and their lore is actually important, they're just an absolute bitch to get working, with some weird mechanics and some first gen 3D that looks really bad. The two even have multiplayer. Have Arkane (or some other MS studio) remake Shadowkey as a first person slasher ala Dark Messiah with semi-open world, then do Battlespire as a standalone expansion with comparatively minimal devtime using the Shadowkey remake as a base.

Think they're gonna let us have this in 2022?

Yeah, me neither.

Originality crisis

 

[Darth Canoli]

Outsource the remasters to Krome and it's gonna be diamonds.

Or wait for Colony Ship to get released and then outsource real remakes to Iron Towers with encounter design on par with Colony Ship and see what happens.

 

[RaggleFraggle]

Well, I would love to get the goodies that Bethesda removed after throwing a hissy fit

His claims about a Quake reboot might be true. There's been rumors about it for the last couple years, and Id now has a job listing for a "long-running iconic action FPS with sci fi and fantasy vistas".

I don't know if I would care to play them. They won't mean tragedy anyway, not like you guys are saying. They won't mean anything

They actually could do it if they wanted to. ESRB has allowed boobies in M games for over a decade. Either way, mods would fix it.

I want a remaster of Cyberpunk 2077 too.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

I've also never trucked with the idea that Fallout's UI is "outdated" or clunky.

Fallout's UI(specifically, the inventory) isn't outdated, it was always bad.

Inventory is bad, yes (not as bad as F3+, though). "Controlling" companions is also dogshit, but that entire aspect is incredibly phoned in and poor and I never use it. Other than that, classic Fallout UI is OK and I'd take it over most modern consolized rpg UIs any day.

It need to get done in the first place, though.

Funnily enough the worst part of Fallout UI, i.e. the inventory management, is already very gamepad friendly.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

It's bad, because a column, list based inventory with only a few items visible at any given time is bad by definition. That said, Fallout is not some modern bin dipping game about crafting ammo from spam cans and used condoms and you don't really use the inventory all that often. There are some builds centered around entering inventory all the time in combat to re-load two weapons as to only use 2ap with qp perk and that can get irritating, but other than that - whatever. In F2, when you get a car to store all the junk that might be useful later, it becomes p close to a non-issue.

 

[Konjad]

Remaster F2 how? Will they just round up pixels in Photoshop like in HoMM3 or FF3 "remasters" to make it look like shit?

They will port it to Gamebryo

It's 2022, who cares about ESRB ratings when we've got twatter and retardera?

Lots of companies refuses to sell AO games... But in 90s, RPG's had no problem with boobs. See Diablo 1 succubi and Daggerfall vamprie chicks and nymphs.

"Remaster" usually means something like the IE enhanced edition releases, so I don't think we have to worry about full 3d "remakes". Although, idk why anyone would mind one of those, provided they're good.

Honestly, remasters and re-releases are great, because it introduces incline to a new, potentially broader audience. The main reason why people don't play older games like Fallout is because 1. people don't know about em and 2. they run like ass on modern hardware and normies will not bother with fan patches and the like. Not to mention that Fallout aged horribly from a technical perspective. Remasters solve those problems (usually, I'm aware that BG EE was buggy af on launch but got fixed later).

Honestly, remasters and re-releases are great,

beamdog's remasters reduced interest in gemrb which is a superior alternative to their 'remasters'

Things like that don't feed the industry either.

 

[gerey]

Only way Fallout 1 and 2 could be improved if they somehow managed to make a non-shit interface and make the combat more closely resemble Silent Storm or Jagged Alliance 2, but since that is never going to happen they needn't bother shitting up beloved classics.

 

[underground nymph]

Could have been an incline, but I very much doubt Fargo’s capabilities in anything beyond meh

This is decline though. Rotatable isometric camera is never a good thing. Playing Divinity: Original Sin, you spend half the time fighting the camera.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Rotating camera, are you trying to start a nuclear war?

Fallout finally returns to its creator:
