NO. No remakes of the originals. It would not be the same. Would not be able to harm kids, golden globes I am sure would be gone. All the Jet heads would be gone. Can't kick with the FO3 engine. Gauss rifles would be changed. Vaults would look different. Adding more locations and quests would not be a remake it would be a re-do. The size of the map in FO2 would be shrunk down to a cramped space like DC.

This isn't Star Wars and it wasn't made by George Lucas. Please don't touch originals. Leave them as is and move on.

I wanna join in too!

Ahem...

No!

And to explain why I don't want it.

They can't get it right.
They will either add or remove or tweak quests/dialogue/NPC's/locations/weapons/sounds/lands/architecture/items/balance/SPECIAL/skills et cetera.
And they won't be able to get the measurements right for places either, might be small things like "this wall should be a bit higher" or "This chair should be a darker brown" but all of it will add up to feel incredibly fake.
They'll also try to make if FPP and that just isn't possible.
Klamath for example is an open town with no loading zones (Like The Strip, it was suppose to be open but look at how that ended up, we got three [censored] gates until we get to V21... It does have it's own kind of loading zones but it's an "open" loading zone placed as a grid loading zones.) so the town would have to be "changed" and given walls and loading zones and closed buildings and crap and just wouldn't feel the same at all.
And here's a great example, New Reno, look at how many NPC's walk around on the streets, it can't be done without changing the amount of NPC's or giving it loading zones.
Then we have NPC animation, the Mom critter from The Den is a female which places her hand on her hip and sways the other one out to the side when she walks.
It's entirely possible to recreate Mom's critter into a 3-D model but the animation? Will it still be present?
I doubt it.

Tons of little and big changes will be made and it will no longer be Fallout 2.
Original games should be left alone all together. (Only thing I would like for older games is to find a way to port them to newer consoles without changing any of the games content.)

So no, it won't be the same game anymore and it would be an abomination in the Fallout series, it would even be worse than F:BOS.

I don't want remakes either. I'd rather see another Fallout story in a different area and earlier on the timeline than Fallout I.

I'd really like to see one that takes place 1 hour before the war begins. Then; You are standing outside and in the distance see a mushroom cloud. You have several choices... try to find a vault where you know you'll be safe. Head for the sewers and hope you don't catch the blast and mass amounts of radiation or Head in the opposite direction as fast as possible and hope you can find an area that isn't going to be hit... This game would be intense.

I'm afraid I have to agree. So many of the things that give Fallout 2 it's atmosphere would have to be cut due to content.

The Ultima 5 remake (U5 Lazarus) is an exception, as it was a very good game even though it looked totally different than the original(which I played on the C64).
