instead of fallout 4 how about a preuel or a remake of fallo : Fallout Series Discussion

» Sat May 28, 2011 7:59 am

ok so we know that there will be the mmo fallout and as fallout 3 has done well a sequel is probaly going to happen at some point, but how about going back to where it all started?
I have fallout 1 and 2 on the pc and dip in and out of both every now and thenbut after fallout 3 they feel far to slow.
so how about it bethesda? remake fallouts 1 and 2 with the fallout 3 engine, the only thing differing all three is the game play and the graphics.
what do you rekon people?

"the only thing differing all three is the game play and the graphics."

Well since they are redoing just about every movie that was ever made (Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street etc) they should consider a remake of Fallout. I would play it.

Really, Re-Made movies turn mostly worser out than the orginal ( a couple of exceptations here and there), so no thank you

Remakes of 1 and 2 will never happen.

No thanks, I prefer new game ideas.

No need. That's already what Fallout 3 is. A remake and summary of previous events for the benefit of new fans. A lot of the quests and content were just a rehash of plot lines and factions from the previous games.

If Bethesda makes a new Fallout game, I hope they make some new content that all can enjoy.

Not a remake, but a prequel would be nice.

I think the big reason not to remake the first two games is simple:

They may not work the second time round!

At the time they were great games and are known classics, but if you bring them forward and jazz up the graphics, redo the music and sounds and probably consolize (Is Consolize a word?) the game play then that magic may be lost.

Also prequels should be avoided. It's the wasteland and the ruins that make the game.

I feel you, but man, there would be old school Fallout nerds with pitchforks outside of Beth studios.

i say no to remakes they never turn out well and a prequel wont happen and if it did it wouldn't turn out well since Bethesda really doesnt know the lore well enough to pull it off if you ask me. i think they should just stick to new games

I'd rather see a Nuclear Winter setting
with warmth being as vital as health

remaking fallout 1&2 would be a disaster.

» Sat May 28, 2011 1:30 am

no remakes please. dont ruin classics. and i think you can keep adding to this game and we dont need fallout 4 until next gen.

» Fri May 27, 2011 5:47 pm

No thanks, give me TES:V instead.

That would be by far the biggest travesty ever commited by the games industry.

I would like to see them make Fallout 4 or an expansion to 3 if possible, still have yet to beat FO3. Can't say much about 1 &2 never played them.

If they'd remake both fallout 2 & 3 I would certanly play.

Yikes, God no. Primarily as remakes have two things against them - they tend to screw up things, and they give the notion that something was "missing" from the original. Fallout and Fallout 2 are fine as they are now (and still available too). As for the "differing" issues...yeah, those are minor niggling things.

No, the first two were amazing classics, and I'd prefer to think of them that way. A prequal could work though, having the game start a few months after the bombs dropped (maybe in the Boneyard) would be pretty cool.

I agree whole heartedly on both counts.
A story that has nothing to do with the vaults or their inhabitants.
Obviously there are a lot of people that survived outside the vaults and I'd love to see their story told.
Maybe one of the Kellers never made it to that mushroom cloud.

I'd like seeing modern day in a beginning clip and severals into the aftermath.

» Sat May 28, 2011 12:13 am

God no. No remakes please. A graphics revamp and, well, voices where need be at most, maybe some camera control - rotation/zoom etc. But no messing with the turn-based system, or, the third person view. Imagine Heroes III with a real-time combat mode...

As for a prequel - well... maybe. But, not "before the bombs" kind of prequel, that'd just be another FPS. Something like "a few years later" would be OK as long as the lore is cool. Maybe the founding of Vault City or something.

Bah. Just hire the original team, pump up the graphics, finish and release Van Buren. Or don't pump up the graphics.

No thanks...
~But if they did... How could be better? ~aside from graphics, but that's hardly a reason right? I have played recompiled OpenGL Duke Nukem 3d and its not better (in fact the graphics are actually worse in this case, but that would not happen in any remake by Bethesda ~but also... they would never do a remake).

Fallout's strength over Fallout 3 is not in the animation.... well wait a minute, IMO Fallout's critical deaths are conceptually better despite the graphical limitations..

How about Darkwater's tale: The founding of Junktown.

And Richard Dean Anderson could star!
