I'd be on board with remakes, but only if everyone from Bethesda wear bomb collars that go off if they enter a 600 feet radius around the remake's writing department.
Microsoft owns InXile and Obsidian, which are staffed by the original developers of Fallout. If anyone should remake Fallout it should be one of those teams not Bethesda.
@@clr977 Microsoft owns Bethesda, so they can outsource a Fallout remake to one of those other studios. Just like how Bethesda outsource New Vegas to Obsidian. And it's not like Microsoft hasn't done that before. Killer Instinct and Perfect Dark are Rare properties yet Microsoft used their other studios to make the "newest" games in those franchises
Xbox really needs to give the Fallout IP to a few other developers again, since Bethesda is busy with Elder Scrolls. Get another studio to make some Baldurs Gate style remakes of 1 & 2. Let Obsidian make New Vegas 2. It's money in the bank, XBOX!
I don't know if it's that easy for MS to move IPs around, but yeah that would make the most sense. Especially with how long Bethesda's dev cycle is nowadays. Fallout 4 was almost 9 years ago, Skyrim 13 years in November, and we haven't seen a followup to either in that time. It's kinda nuts.
Obsidian's busy with their own games so by the time they can actually work on nv2 Bethesda could already be working on fallout 5. inexile on the other hand might be free enough for a remake or spin-off.
@@justinterry8894 I highly doubt they're already working on Fallout 5. Do they have notes and ideas? Probably, but no way is it currently in development right now
@@loowisk1113. No, it's not currently in development: However, Obsidian themselves are busy with their own projects including Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed; I doubt they have the room for Fallout 1 and 2 remakes. (Specifically remakes because remasters are not gonna happen unless one of the original Black Isle developers pocketed the source code before Interplay collapsed.)
On the other hand, doing physical manuals like it's the 90's doesn't really work anymore: If people want to figure out the lore for some games, most will just watch channels like Oxhorn or look it up on a wiki; The situation is incredibly different from what it was 20 or even 30 years ago.
@@dragonbornexpress5650 " look it up on a wiki" Which can and is rewritten so that the games don't make sense. A manual could be used in decades time. A wiki can be deleted or 'corrected' to the needs of the IP holder.
My understanding is that Microsoft effectively owns the Fallout IP now. How convenient that they also own Obsidian ;). If the remakes do happen let's just hope the core dev teams from both games are at least heavily involved (a few of them are still with Obsidian, so that a good thing).

No. As much as I love them - unless it's Tim, Leonard, nChris, and Co. remaking them - they should be left as is. There's Fo1in2 which transfers the whole fallout to fallout 2 engine that is already good enough, there are fan patches and mods to make the game more approachable.
I think Tim and Leonard are still at Obsidian right? So there's a chance. I'm not sure where Chris Avellone stands nowadays in terms of industry connections and relationships, after all the stuff that went down with his cancellation I mean.

Even if remakes don't happen then the first 2 Fallout games should at least be ported on to modern console platforms. If Beamdog managed to do it for Baldur's Gate 1, Planescape Torment, and Neverwinter Nights then Fallout 1 & 2 on consoles shouldn't be a problem as well.

I played the original fallout games and fell in love with them and still do and would love to play them again including fallout tactics. They may be old but the game play and story beats a lot of games released today, a welcomed and missed blast from the past
Totally agree with what you're saying. A part of me wants to play them, but they are so old school that I'm worried I won't finish it. I've watched oxhorn play them, and that's okay, but there's nothing like playing the games yourself.
Fallout 1 and 2 are some of the most incredible games I’ve played. And I didn’t play them back in the day. I’ve played them already much more recently. A remake would be incredible ❤
If there are plans to remake Fallout 1 and 2, then bring in the team that's been making the Wasteland games. The first wasteland game was what inspired fallout. And when the original publisher for the first two fallout games went bankrupt, some of the dev's went to the Wasteland team. Even the NCR's Ranger's are a reference to the faction you play as in Wasteland, the Desert Rangers or Arizona Ranger's. I also just want the Wasteland games to get more attention. I've only played the third, but its been fun.
In my peripheral vision i thought Kurt was Jake Peralta when he made that face so i was so confused when i focused again and it looked nothing like that lol. Also yea i would love any remake of these games i was too young to experience these games firsthand when it was fresh so it would be cool whether it be the isometric version or an action fps version
Yeah, Obsidian should definitely do it, but I don't think Bethesda wants to see them be praised by the critics, for the second time after New Vegas, for handling the IP better then Tod Howard's minions. Bethesda didn't even paid the bonus they promised to Obsidian for reaching the goals. That's sets the bar.
i thought todd had spite for the obsidian devs for making an objectively better game than them, but tbh if you look at almost everything avellone jsaw or todd have said, none of them are mad at each other. in most interviews with todd explaining new vegas, he says he actually liked their work on the franchise, and you could see from their nods to the game in the tv show. the only reason bethesda doesnt give the fallout ip to a 3rd party is just cause of money and selectiveness, theres no behind the scenes drama or anything.
Yeah but if they were to remake I would like them to somehow pull off where everything could be isometric but you could hit a button to go into a 3D version of the game. Many games have done something similar with graphics. Halo MCC and also Tomb Raider 1-3 Remasters. But I think it would be a good idea. Both fans of the OG 1-2 Style could be happy and the newer 3-4/FO76 would be happy too.
I know this won’t happen, but I would love a Baldur’s Gate 3 style version of the Cyberpunk table top game. I think it would be awesome. If done right with enough love and care.
I played this back in the day and never knew there was a manual. And I agree, remake this game already, give the project to Owlcat Games (or Larian if they want to do this).
@@powderedbuns8251 No! The Fallout Franchise is FPS RPG now! The General Audience isn’t going to be interested in a Remake for Fallout 1 & 2 just for it to be The Old Fashioned Way except for OG fans which you can just play Fallout 1 & 2 that way on PC.
Thank you Gamespot for giving Fallout 1 & 2 the attention they deserve. These are, in my opinion, the strongest entries in the Fallout series and with the success of the Fallout show, Microsoft and Bethesda could make a lot of money capitalizing off its success. Fallout 1 & 2 are perfect for fans of the show because both games take place in California.
We're in the timeline where Baldur's Gate 3 won Game of the Year. Hire Obsidian, inXile or Larian, preserve the turn-based system and games aesthetics and lore, add new quests, QoL adjustments and modern UI and it will be glorious.
It’s wild how making a game ensures you profits at the time of release, profits from ports to next gen consoles, and profits from a full blown remake when technology advances a lot
There is no way; impossible. Any remaster of Fallout 1 or 2 would be completely declawed. It would be like remaking, or rebooting Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. It's impossible.
i doubt there will ever be a remake of 1 and 2 without bethesda.. every game they havent made has barly made any money back and microsoft goes where the "NOW" money is, and with the fallout show being a success i think theres even less of a chance. Like the biggest mistake bethesda ever did was letting someone else use the creation engine and i heavily doubt they will give it away again. and todd is way to close to phil and corporate for them to force the creation engine and licence to someone else.
No. No and no they would change so much that they wouldn’t even be the same games anymore. They would take all the blood all the guts all the gore all the controversial stuff out and we basically get Starfield 2.0 an M from mature game made for babies.
And Fallout Tactics darnit! The Mid-Western BoS is CANON but the event lineups need to be retconned and weaved in to fit better or they are apocryphal/ semi-canon at best
Yes, please do. Never played them & most definitely will if made possible Oh & yes i would most definitely read the manual. I miss the days of reading manuals for games. Makes it more epic & dedication as a fan
Fallout 2 fixed some of the interface issues with the first fallout. But if the game was remade, the main thing that I think should be totally overhauled is the combat and make it more tactical in terms of player skill, taking influence from modern xcom,baldurs gate 3 and jagged alliance 3. Keep the script mostly the same, update the visuals to be at least pathfinder: wrath of the righteous level in terms of tech, etc.
I think the team behind Diablo II Resurrected captured the original and brought it to modern standards, it's now in my top favorite video games of all time I am a 25 year old who would have never given it a shot before.
I really hope fallout 1 and 2 get a proper remake they could use it more than fallout 3 and new Vegas, the controls in fallout 1 and 2 are frustrating but I still love the visuals and charm of the game it's a game you can really sink time into for sure like most rpgs
This is a good counter-argument to the people who bemoan remakes as lazy and greedy. There's a LOT of people out there who never played the original, and a remake allows them to experience a classic game, but with more polish and the bugbears of time scrubbed out.
Yes! I am a huge fallout fan, but gee wiz is it a slog to go back to the originals after playing all of the modern titles. I really wish a remake of both Fallout 1 and 2 would come out. I would also love extended content to be added to add to that experience and to ensure I can clock in many more hours of playthrough run time with them. It would be very cool if we could get extra content for Fallout's 1 and 2, made by either Tim Cain, Bethesda, or Obsidian, depending on who is making it.
Not really, I'd rather keep the classics as they are; classics. Obviously there are exceptions to this (like KOTOR, since the F'd up with SWTOR). But with fallout, i'd much rather see resources poured into 5 than into remakes...
Imho remakes should be done for flawed but promising titles that didn't live up to their full potential or got overlooked. Remaking classics that are considered the best of the genre is a wasted opportunity.
Gosh, with the success of Fallout Show, Bethesda and Microsoft are really biting their foot. What a perfect time for some new Fallout, and this would be great idea, too.
What I learned from this video- (1) I need a steam deck. (2) fallout 1 -2 remaster would be awesome. with that said need Tim Caine gotta be apart of it.
I honestly think what would be awesome, is the wasteland guys remaking fo1 and 2 (rewriting fo2) and Bethesda or obsidian doing a 3-d remake as well. Personally I prefer the newer style, could never get into isometrics, but I beat fo1, and I think it would be great for all fans if we could have both.
A remake should only be done where there's a matter of a game limitation or a vision that cannot be achieved with the current one. The Tomb Raider trilogy recieved the remaster because if you remade it, controls and all, then it wouldn't be the same game as the original, all the issues you listed, from the menus, the graphics and mechanics, all those can be reworked and tweaked in a remaster, like a highlight for objects with a nametag over them and all commands can be activated with readily accessible prompts. Fallout 1 and 2 need remasters, if they are remade then they wouldn't be the same game.
If it's to be re-mastered then it needs to stick with being an isometric rpg, not an FPS RPG. I am trying to get into Fallout 1, it is difficult to immerse myself, I will keep at it but if they can keep it the same with an updated UI and visuals it would make all the difference.
Please make graphics switchable like Diablo 2 Resurrected: Meaning, ability to switch between original graphics and the new polished. The old pixelation is very charming and gritty. Otherwise, make the controls better, bartering less annoying and of coruse bug fixes. And bring the kids back to existance.
The game is to new to get a remake first work on original Xbox PS2 games before jumping on Xbox one games or PS4 games the last of us part 1 isn’t a remake on PS5 like all those rumors said glad I didn’t pay $70 for it look now naughty dogs didn’t make the last of us part 2 on PS5 cause $70 cause it’s not a remake
I hope instead of waiting for the next Fallout installment, Microsoft will take their smaller studios, even members of InXile and Obsidian (even though most left that made Fallout) and have Tim Cain consulted could be a great game.
As a person who was born in 1981 and played Fallout 1 as a kid - it is so funny and strange to see nowadays "kids" play these games - and the things they notice or not notice. It is so weird to see them complain about the way the UI worked. So funny and strange :D
I was born in 88 and I think the UI for Fallout 1 and 2 was never good. I see people in the comments say "Baldur's Gate got a remastered, so why not Fallout?", while I agree, I think Fallout would have a lot more mandatory work needed done to it. Baldur's Gate already had a well functioning UI. Fallout 1 and 2 have a weird one where you have to hold down left mouse button to access half of it. Or hold and drag to scroll options. I honestly think it's 90% of the issue for going back to play. If they could modernize that UI. And maybe find a way to simulate 8 directional movement, at least visually so running up and down on the screen isn't a weird zig zag. Or at least remove the grid when out of combat. Fix both those things, and I think it would go a long way
Use "Fallout et tu" mod, its Fallout 1 ported to Fallout 2 engine with many new features. For Fallout 2 use Restoration Project, Talking Heads actually talk mods with added voice overs.
so very true, after finishing 3/nv/4, tried 1 & 2 & really struggle trying to move forward with how very clunky the gameplay system for current. Personally just hoping for whoever doing those fan-remake using FO3 or FO4 engine would finish em up faster so that finally able to enjoy the original story that is 1 & 2.
I really don't think Fallout 1&2 need a remake. They have aged pretty well, and people should get the raw and classic experience of what's considered two of the best RPGs ever made in videogame history.
Wasteland 3 was great. Id live to see FO 1 n 2 get either an iso remake ir even a first person shooter rog remaje like 3 n NV. Either one would make me happy.
As long as they don't attempt to water down or add anything to appease a so called "modern audience." The story and atmosphere of Fallout 1-2 are a lot more brutal than anything, Bethesda attempted to make. I'd be happy with just a graphical update.
Fallout 1& 2 should be remade, but not as rpgs. They should be like the originals, with amazing graphics. I loved playing fallout 1 and 2. They were 2 of my favourite games ever.
I'd be on board with remakes, but only if everyone from Bethesda wear bomb collars that go off if they enter a 600 feet radius around the remake's writing department.
I like that idea.
And a nuclear warhead in the basement, if anyone decides to even think about using the creation engine.

Yeah, Obsidian should definitely do it, but I don't think Bethesda wants to see them be praised by the critics, for the second time after New Vegas, for handling the IP better then Tod Howard's minions.
Bethesda didn't even paid the bonus they promised to Obsidian for reaching the goals. That's sets the bar.
i thought todd had spite for the obsidian devs for making an objectively better game than them, but tbh if you look at almost everything avellone jsaw or todd have said, none of them are mad at each other. in most interviews with todd explaining new vegas, he says he actually liked their work on the franchise, and you could see from their nods to the game in the tv show. the only reason bethesda doesnt give the fallout ip to a 3rd party is just cause of money and selectiveness, theres no behind the scenes drama or anything.
Thing is. I feel Wasteland 3 kind of occupies that space
Theres plenty of room for more
Quality of life remakes would be fine.
If I'd be adventurous, I'd want the option to switch between isometric and first/third person at will.
I loved the no hand holding and you can be who you want to be it makes the world feel alive
Yeah but if they were to remake I would like them to somehow pull off where everything could be isometric but you could hit a button to go into a 3D version of the game. Many games have done something similar with graphics. Halo MCC and also Tomb Raider 1-3 Remasters. But I think it would be a good idea. Both fans of the OG 1-2 Style could be happy and the newer 3-4/FO76 would be happy too.
I know this won’t happen, but I would love a Baldur’s Gate 3 style version of the Cyberpunk table top game. I think it would be awesome. If done right with enough love and care.
Imagine Fallout 1 & 2 with gameplay somewhere between Baldur's Gate 3 and XCOM 2.
Similar to wasteland 2 and 3 then?
@@TheGamingGopher would love fallout 1 and 2 in wasteland style today
@@coronacrockford3656 I’m actually playing Wasteland 3 rn and I agree. The turn based combat is really fun
@@TheGamingGopher you play on pc or xbox
@@coronacrockford3656 PC. I just find menus and overall navigation of these type of games much easier with a mouse
I played this back in the day and never knew there was a manual. And I agree, remake this game already, give the project to Owlcat Games (or Larian if they want to do this).
If they Remake Fallout 1 & 2 they both have to be an Open World FPS RPG like Fallout 3, 4 & New Vegas!
No they need to be isometric C RPGs like wasteland 2 & 3
@@powderedbuns8251 No! The Fallout Franchise is FPS RPG now! The General Audience isn’t going to be interested in a Remake for Fallout 1 & 2 just for it to be The Old Fashioned Way except for OG fans which you can just play Fallout 1 & 2 that way on PC.
Thank you Gamespot for giving Fallout 1 & 2 the attention they deserve. These are, in my opinion, the strongest entries in the Fallout series and with the success of the Fallout show, Microsoft and Bethesda could make a lot of money capitalizing off its success. Fallout 1 & 2 are perfect for fans of the show because both games take place in California.
We're in the timeline where Baldur's Gate 3 won Game of the Year. Hire Obsidian, inXile or Larian, preserve the turn-based system and games aesthetics and lore, add new quests, QoL adjustments and modern UI and it will be glorious.
Played fallout 2 for the first time in 01. To this day i still occasionally do a playthrough. Its pure nostalgia, doesnt need a remake.
Yes it does. It's not good.
4:23 Whoah hold up there! I'll give you Pokemon Red and Blue, but Super Metroid? Ok, I'll admit it's aged some, but much better than the others lol
It’s wild how making a game ensures you profits at the time of release, profits from ports to next gen consoles, and profits from a full blown remake when technology advances a lot
Larion Studios or Obsidian would be the only studios i would be comfortable with making proper Fallout 1/2 Remakes.
Still love this game could come back playing ▶️ fallout 2 anytime flipping cried at the end of fallout one when I was 13
There is no way; impossible. Any remaster of Fallout 1 or 2 would be completely declawed. It would be like remaking, or rebooting Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles. It's impossible.
i doubt there will ever be a remake of 1 and 2 without bethesda.. every game they havent made has barly made any money back and microsoft goes where the "NOW" money is, and with the fallout show being a success i think theres even less of a chance. Like the biggest mistake bethesda ever did was letting someone else use the creation engine and i heavily doubt they will give it away again. and todd is way to close to phil and corporate for them to force the creation engine and licence to someone else.
The Fallout: Vault 13 Fallout 4 mod is looking to be a pretty promising Fallout 1 remake. The demo should be out this summer.
No. No and no they would change so much that they wouldn’t even be the same games anymore. They would take all the blood all the guts all the gore all the controversial stuff out and we basically get Starfield 2.0 an M from mature game made for babies.
Ikr
This is what we call lying to yourself.
bethesda should give it to INxile, where director is Brian Fargo, manager of original games development, also they make isometric games right now.
I want to get into this series but more updated, so I'd love that.
And Fallout Tactics darnit! The Mid-Western BoS is CANON but the event lineups need to be retconned and weaved in to fit better or they are apocryphal/ semi-canon at best
Emil put Tactics in his official timeline so regardless of any now-dubious canon it IS canon
Yes, please do. Never played them & most definitely will if made possible
Oh & yes i would most definitely read the manual. I miss the days of reading manuals for games. Makes it more epic & dedication as a fan
Fallout 1, 2, and Vegas and that’s the entire trilogy of Fallout.
Loving the purple rinse, my nan has just adopted this look too 😂
I would toss in Fallout: New Vegas just to update. The BG3 treatment for FO1 and FO2 would be wonderful.
Fallout 2 fixed some of the interface issues with the first fallout. But if the game was remade, the main thing that I think should be totally overhauled is the combat and make it more tactical in terms of player skill, taking influence from modern xcom,baldurs gate 3 and jagged alliance 3. Keep the script mostly the same, update the visuals to be at least pathfinder: wrath of the righteous level in terms of tech, etc.
I think the team behind Diablo II Resurrected captured the original and brought it to modern standards, it's now in my top favorite video games of all time I am a 25 year old who would have never given it a shot before.
I really hope fallout 1 and 2 get a proper remake they could use it more than fallout 3 and new Vegas, the controls in fallout 1 and 2 are frustrating but I still love the visuals and charm of the game it's a game you can really sink time into for sure like most rpgs
WOW...that is, like- KURT RUSSELL-level hair
Nice
I pray he gets to enjoy it for as long as Kurt does his
it would be dope to see Larian studios do a isometric fallout remake
fallout 2 is first game i ever played and it is the best game ever created. I want, i need, i desire Fallout 1 and 2 remasters. Please God
I just want a full HD port. Please don't give anyone a chance to ruin it...
This is a good counter-argument to the people who bemoan remakes as lazy and greedy. There's a LOT of people out there who never played the original, and a remake allows them to experience a classic game, but with more polish and the bugbears of time scrubbed out.
Bethesda remade Fallout 1 & 2 as Fallout 3.
Yes! I am a huge fallout fan, but gee wiz is it a slog to go back to the originals after playing all of the modern titles. I really wish a remake of both Fallout 1 and 2 would come out. I would also love extended content to be added to add to that experience and to ensure I can clock in many more hours of playthrough run time with them. It would be very cool if we could get extra content for Fallout's 1 and 2, made by either Tim Cain, Bethesda, or Obsidian, depending on who is making it.
Not really, I'd rather keep the classics as they are; classics. Obviously there are exceptions to this (like KOTOR, since the F'd up with SWTOR). But with fallout, i'd much rather see resources poured into 5 than into remakes...
Imho remakes should be done for flawed but promising titles that didn't live up to their full potential or got overlooked. Remaking classics that are considered the best of the genre is a wasted opportunity.
honestly, agreed
a game like halo 2 or left 4 dead wouldnt warrant a remake, whereas a game like fable 3 or wolfenstein 2009 arguably would
I’d love to see a fallout 1 and 2 remake or remaster, hopefully Bethesda hears our cries
Gosh, with the success of Fallout Show, Bethesda and Microsoft are really biting their foot. What a perfect time for some new Fallout, and this would be great idea, too.
There are Fallout 4 mods coming for that, no one should even think of bethesda doing it
Larian studios should remake fallout 1,2 and tactics, would be awesome.
Not even remotely the same systems.
@dragonbornexpress5650 True, but they do good work, and they could probably bang together a remake of both in a year with minimal staff and effort.
I enjoyed when I played through FO and FO2, sadly I have only finished FO and not FO2, but I should go back through it
I hope someday fallout 1 and 2 get a remaster.
What I learned from this video- (1) I need a steam deck. (2) fallout 1 -2 remaster would be awesome. with that said need Tim Caine gotta be apart of it.
I honestly think what would be awesome, is the wasteland guys remaking fo1 and 2 (rewriting fo2) and Bethesda or obsidian doing a 3-d remake as well. Personally I prefer the newer style, could never get into isometrics, but I beat fo1, and I think it would be great for all fans if we could have both.
Remaster in style of Command & Conquer Remastered Collection would be great. Remake in style of Fallout 3 and 4 would be the worst.
A remake should only be done where there's a matter of a game limitation or a vision that cannot be achieved with the current one.
The Tomb Raider trilogy recieved the remaster because if you remade it, controls and all, then it wouldn't be the same game as the original, all the issues you listed, from the menus, the graphics and mechanics, all those can be reworked and tweaked in a remaster, like a highlight for objects with a nametag over them and all commands can be activated with readily accessible prompts.
Fallout 1 and 2 need remasters, if they are remade then they wouldn't be the same game.
If it's to be re-mastered then it needs to stick with being an isometric rpg, not an FPS RPG. I am trying to get into Fallout 1, it is difficult to immerse myself, I will keep at it but if they can keep it the same with an updated UI and visuals it would make all the difference.
I want these remakes before any new Fallout game.
Please make graphics switchable like Diablo 2 Resurrected:
Meaning, ability to switch between original graphics and the new polished. The old pixelation is very charming and gritty.
Otherwise, make the controls better, bartering less annoying and of coruse bug fixes.
And bring the kids back to existance.
I love how serious Fallout 1 and 2 are, Bethesda needs to turn down the silliness like 10 percent.
I want Fallout 3 and New Vegas on my PS5!
1:14 Wow, it's the Skyrim on Switch guy
Could you imagine the ”who-wha-the fu- WHO IS THIS?!” from Fallout 2 in glorious HD
playing the original fallouts on steamdeck isn't hard at all. just apply the top rated community layout and you're good to go
The game is to new to get a remake first work on original Xbox PS2 games before jumping on Xbox one games or PS4 games the last of us part 1 isn’t a remake on PS5 like all those rumors said glad I didn’t pay $70 for it look now naughty dogs didn’t make the last of us part 2 on PS5 cause $70 cause it’s not a remake
My brother, what are you even trying to say? Fallout 1 & 2 both came out before the ps2 released so no they aren’t “to new” to get a remake
@xNeoNxCyaN Step 1, see thumbnail. Step 2, read video title. Step 3, skip video and post irrelevant opinion / assertion in comment section.
Bruh, are you trolling or are you actually slow?
@@mattmattson316who are you talking to 😂
@@mattmattson316everyone in this chat is trolling except for you what a joke
I AGREE, I never got to play these games! Before my time!! I would love to play a baldurs gate type version of fallout !!!
I hope instead of waiting for the next Fallout installment, Microsoft will take their smaller studios, even members of InXile and Obsidian (even though most left that made Fallout) and have Tim Cain consulted could be a great game.
As a person who was born in 1981 and played Fallout 1 as a kid - it is so funny and strange to see nowadays "kids" play these games - and the things they notice or not notice. It is so weird to see them complain about the way the UI worked. So funny and strange :D
I was born in 88 and I think the UI for Fallout 1 and 2 was never good. I see people in the comments say "Baldur's Gate got a remastered, so why not Fallout?", while I agree, I think Fallout would have a lot more mandatory work needed done to it. Baldur's Gate already had a well functioning UI. Fallout 1 and 2 have a weird one where you have to hold down left mouse button to access half of it. Or hold and drag to scroll options. I honestly think it's 90% of the issue for going back to play. If they could modernize that UI. And maybe find a way to simulate 8 directional movement, at least visually so running up and down on the screen isn't a weird zig zag. Or at least remove the grid when out of combat. Fix both those things, and I think it would go a long way
Use "Fallout et tu" mod, its Fallout 1 ported to Fallout 2 engine with many new features. For Fallout 2 use Restoration Project, Talking Heads actually talk mods with added voice overs.
Imagine a remake of Fallout 1 & 2 in the style of Wasteland 3 or Baldurs Gate 3
so very true, after finishing 3/nv/4, tried 1 & 2 & really struggle trying to move forward with how very clunky the gameplay system for current. Personally just hoping for whoever doing those fan-remake using FO3 or FO4 engine would finish em up faster so that finally able to enjoy the original story that is 1 & 2.
I really don't think Fallout 1&2 need a remake. They have aged pretty well, and people should get the raw and classic experience of what's considered two of the best RPGs ever made in videogame history.
Wasteland 3 was great. Id live to see FO 1 n 2 get either an iso remake ir even a first person shooter rog remaje like 3 n NV.
Either one would make me happy.
One important thing. They are cheaper to make, big motive nowadays
As long as they don't attempt to water down or add anything to appease a so called "modern audience." The story and atmosphere of Fallout 1-2 are a lot more brutal than anything, Bethesda attempted to make. I'd be happy with just a graphical update.
Fallout 1& 2 should be remade, but not as rpgs. They should be like the originals, with amazing graphics.
I loved playing fallout 1 and 2. They were 2 of my favourite games ever.
