Now ive player all of the fallout series but i still find fallout 3 more enjoyable because its first person obvisouly better graphics etc etc. so now that obsidian is makeing fallout new vegas i think it would be cool if they could go back and remake the fallout 1 and 2 but newer just a though....

..............your serious? :huh:

Why is this in the New Vegas section?

OT: It would be nice, but so would me having another Coca-Cola Zero right now :foodndrink:

The older ones are fine like they are.....in my opinion it would ruin them by remaking them.

No.

actually its not a bad idea but i would rather a new fallout that is huge

I'd be fine with it if they used a completely different engine, made it EXACTLY like the old games and didn't add ANYTHING, no extra voices or floating heads, no new animations, no new perks or traits, no changes to SPECIAl.
So if they made an exact copy of it, only in 3d with better graphis using a different engine, then yes.
But I'd rather they didn't because I just know that they would try to get voice actors for every bit of dialogue or something like that...

This.

There's nothing "wrong" with them, they are what they are.

I'd say no, leave them alone. I like my Fallout's just the way they are. I want them to make NEW ones.

uhhh, i agree accept whats with the anti-voice over nonsense? i would LOVE to have full voice over in the old fallout games, along with perhaps zoom to face for the person you are talking too. other then that just 3D graphics with an option to look behind the back view for more immersion when outside of combat.

Naw. If ya want to try out Fallout 1/2, I suggest trying out the way they are presented. Ya would get the genuine Fallout experience.

I would probably bet that if they would remake it, the genuine Fallout experience for it would be gone/degraded.

I've wanted to play Fallout in first person from day one. The FO world is too rich to be represented in tiny little sprites. However, I don't expect it to happen. I'd like the story to keep moving forward. But if they did, I'd preorder the CE in a heartbeat.

in a way they are doing that, they are brining back lots of elements from the previous fallout games.

I don't see how there could be an exact 3D copy of the whole 2D isometric environment/atmosphere + game functions/controls. It wouldn't feel right if you ask me. Besides an isometric view doesn't mean there can not be any amazing visuals; using pixel shaders, color variations and plenty of other stuff it can look equally astounding. So leave the oldies alone and go play FO3/FONV or something for a FPS/RPG 3D-hybrid experience.

The old ones should atleast be remade in the tactics or vanburen engine.

If anything atleast rebuild the game to work well with windows 7 color issues.

Things that could be done that wouldnt change the gameplay:

-restore content cut from the game due to lack of time.

-add more voice over animated dialog. (fallout 2 is missing a ton)

-add more unique npc sprites. (too many ppl look the same)

No, main reason why because the older game have content that a remake could not have today. We would not be able to harm the kids. Most if not all the six would be taken out.

Polls on this subject usually result in a narrow win for "no", to which I agree.

Also a viable point!


Try http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55555:

- Content restored along the lines of the original story that was left out due to lack of time.

- Color problem completely solved (it was already solved with certain patches btw) + more control options and even a windowed screen feature.

- A few unique sprites. There will be more in the near future; FO2 modders are working overtime but it requires huge amounts of work.

Voice acting and a Van Buren engine; I don't see it happening, ever! Anyways, ... 3 out of 5 issues corrected.


*Edit*

I actually downloaded Van Buren's demo and... okay, it's an unfinished game of course but I thought it was horrible! I enjoyed FO tictacs a lot more to be honest ...

No.

Yes great idea.
It's obvious that first person is the only worthwhile perspective for games.

For example: Xcom. The new one will be a FPS. Obvious vast improvement!
So why should the old Fallouts stay in the stone age?

And why stop there... there are countless games that should be brought to the exiting current generation.
How about Civilization for example? Wouldn't it benefit greatly by putting the player right into the map and allowing him to fight the enemies of his nation, in glorious real time, instead of clicking on little spites on a map from above, which is completely unrealistic?
Also how about a game like say... Tetris. Isn't it about time that it would be remade as a FPS with proper 3D and HDR lighting so it can proudly stand next to today's great games? I mean those bricks disappearing all by themselves makes no sense... give me a shotgun and let me shoot them into oblivion I say!

I could go on... and on... and on...

I could never get into Fallout 1 and 2, but I say let them stay how they are. IMO, things shouldn't be remade, it's like rewriting history.

I've been playing Fallout 2 and I gotta say it is a great game (though very tough I have to admit. And as many RPG's that I have played it is one of the toughest ones)

That being said I think if you wanna play Fallout 2 play Fallout 2

There is no real reason to remaster them and upgrade the graphics because what we have now, IMO, is just fine

Joke understood

I would put that FPP can be great (as we both know).

I would put that Dawn of War should under no circumstances ever be made FPP; always improved, but never redesigned/ mutated into something its not; however...
That doesn't mean they shouldn't make a TPP or FPP game (also) based on Warhammer40k; as that could be really cool ~not DoW cool, but a different... unrelated kind of cool.

I wouldn't claim otherwise.
Especially since contemporary technology allows for first person games that don't look depressingly primitive half a year later.
But I want a game with the depth of Deus Ex or (the first part of) Bloodlines and I don't care what kind of game it's predecessor was - that kind of gameplay benefits a lot from FPP.
If you were to remake FO1 as such it would just feel 'flat' - so you'd have to add some layers on top of it to make it interesting: put some ventilation ducts in the glow to crawl through to avoid those robots or something... and it would be a different game (I'll avoid saying that it wouldn't be a Fallout game, but it would certainly not be that Fallout 1). So if you are going to make a different game why not make a new game altogether?

I can certainly agree with most of that... though I'm partial to similar gameplay within the same series...though not necessarily so in the same setting.
(Warhammer40k and all the games therein are a prime example ~alongside both Starcraft 1&2 and Diablo 1, 2 & 3 ).

*Something neat though... (maybe you've seen it)
