Time to redo FO1 and FO2?

Maybe a spinoff about the same times as either, but not a remake.....with Gamebryo anyways.

The new work should be set in a new game, not trying to out do the originals.

It will never happen, it has been stated so many times by Interplay and Bethesda, and I'm glad, they are fine as is.
Which is quite a pity, I would love to complete fallout 2.

They're great just as they are. Maybe an update with better graphics, but definitely not changed to the gameplay style of FO3.

I think a remake is probably something for the community to do with the mod tools, to be honest, like HL fans are doing with Black Mesa: Source. Bethesda isn't going to be able to do it without stepping on toes. :P

They're gone folks...the Commodore 64 is dead and buried....

:lol:

I know scenes who are still making demo's. Nah, only the fans will die eventually but the commodore's legacy made its mark in history...

I voted YES! but they probably won't, lotta effort for a FO3 style game, but I'd be up for them on the 3DS, keep the old style perspective iso :) only in glorious 3D
Someone actually offered me a Commodore 64 yesterday in work!

What?, stay with limited isometric view and turn based combat?.

TB system is a good way to handle combat in a statdriven RPG, and ISO view offers a bigger perspective on the battlefield without the confines of an FPP tunnelvision.

I don't see a point; it would be a waste of time and money to remake, or even merely apply a visual update, to games that are already fine enough as is.

Bethesda should remake Morrowind as a Isometric Turn Based Game.

see how that could piss a lot of people off? just like Bethesda making Fallout a generic fps.

Its 34 votes now, and I can assure you at least one wouldn't.

I guarantee you they wouldn't. I at least wouldn't. When I want to play F1 & F2 I kind of... you know... play them.

Duno about as old as you, but for sure on the memory. The original came out when I was 5 (1995) and I mostly played Descent 3.

I am praying to the PTMC that Interplay does a Descent 4. Stupid Red Faction was the result of Descent 4 technology after Interplay went under.

I'd buy them, they'd be worth the money again :)

Its not like our civilization doesn't replace stuff anyway, like dvd players, betamax to how many VHS video players, TV to HD to 3DTV, stereos to surround etc etc etc just count how many times you've replaced other stuff in your entire life, what about games consoles, Atari to commodore to PS1 to PS2 to PS3, Xbox to 360 , PC to better PC etc etc etc, of course you'd buy them ;) We as a race constantly replace and upgrade, from walkman to MP3 to Ipods.

You know you're lying ;)

So lets say they do remake them and lots of people are playing the remakes and talking about them and arguing about and debating them, you mean your gonna just chip in and say I'm not buying them, excluding yourselves from the chat about the remakes come on! who are you kidding? You're just completing isolating yourselves.

Maybe they should create a little forum for the Elites where you can talk amongst yourselves about how great they are for not buying them or experiencing them or talking about the remakes, I can imagine it now, yeah maybe you can say things like, Huh I didn't buy it, did you NO! Yeah we're great we didn't buy them! Yeah. Some forum that would be lol. I spoke to someone a while ago about BoS he stated he had bought the game to complete his collection but would never play it cause it was crap! Can't remember who it was many moons ago. So you honesty think you're gonna exclude yourself? Sure you're not gonna buy them :) LMAO

They'll never remake them in the style of Fallout 3, would take to much effort and money. but I'd love to see them remade just to see who actually excludes themselves ;) Have you ever heard the tale about The Dog & the Manger? Its on Wiki, go aquaint yourselves with it, humour me :) I had better edit this to explain waht I mean exactly, some people miss the meanings of the things I say. By voting in the negative hinders the beginning of such a remake from even taking place and spoils it for those who wish to have them remade. ;) I've seen this before in a vote a while back, rather than actually let a competition suggestion reach perhaps what could have been a perk for a Fallout game, the Elites came out and voted no against the suggestion of a competition, this kind of attitude baffles me, why hinder something just because you don't like it, there would have been plenty of other people that would have enjoyed such a competition, it would have been fun but no lets all just say no to that idea. Go on take a chance, you may actually enjoy the game if it was remade, go on I dare you to buy it if they remake them ;) I am actually curious to know as well if they could accomplish the task (no small feat) for a handheld ISO 3D remake FO 1&2 would you refuse to buy it as well?? Gonna be interesting to see how many positive replies there are, go on Dogs, positive waves, its a mother beautiful bridge :)

Then the question is, "How exactly would they remake them?"

A 1:1 remake with updated graphics and possibly cameracontrols, isometric view and turnbased gameplay isn't something they'd do (if they thought that - the ISO/TB design - would be something worth their time, I believe they would've done it already with Fallout 3), and counting on there being enough oldschoolers and curious enough Fallout 3 fans that actually want to buy Fallout 1/2 remakes - games which are already out and playable/played already for the last 12 years - would be quite a risk. If they made them in the Fallout 3 framework, they'd have at least some quarantee sells from some of the Fallout 3 fans.

Some of the oldschoolers would definitely buy it to make a comparison and to measure the magnitude of the "[censored]" (as I believe the term would be), but for most there wouldn't be anything to experience but new eyecandy and possibly disappointment due to a possible bad translation. Wasted money if you ask me. :shrug:

People say no, because they want something new (and possibly even something more - or at least equally - satisfying for both groups, new and old) from the future - this would no doubt be better for everyone.

The early fallouts with modern graphics wouldn't even feel remotely similar. It'd feel like I was playing Fallout 4: Fallout Remake. And it's time for TES V...

There are a lot of false premises in your post.

I'd buy them, they'd be worth the money again :)

Its not like our civilization doesn't replace stuff anyway, like dvd players, betamax to how many VHS video players, TV to HD to 3DTV, stereos to surround etc etc etc just count how many times you've replaced other stuff in your entire life, what about games consoles, Atari to commodore to PS1 to PS2 to PS3, Xbox to 360 , PC to better PC etc etc etc, of course you'd buy them ;) We as a race constantly replace and upgrade, from walkman to MP3 to Ipods.


While a dvd is better than a betamax in every way, the same can't be said about old games vs newer games. To say that F1-like games should be replaced by F3-like games is like saying apples should be replaced by oranges. Real time isn't an evolution from turn based like the DVD is from VHS, they're were (and still are) different streams from the get-go.

So lets say they do remake them and lots of people are playing the remakes and talking about them and arguing about and debating them, you mean your gonna just chip in and say I'm not buying them, excluding yourselves from the chat about the remakes come on! who are you kidding? You're just completing isolating yourselves.


I honestly have no idea what your argument here is. Right now there are lots of people playing and talking about and arguing about the latest Madden NFL game, but I'm not chipping in and saying I'm not buying them. Nor do I think I'm isolating myself because of it. I don't see why you think I'd behave that way in the case of a remake.

Maybe they should create a little forum for the Elites where you can talk amongst yourselves about how great they are for not buying them or experiencing them or talking about the remakes, I can imagine it now, yeah maybe you can say things like, Huh I didn't buy it, did you NO! Yeah we're great we didn't buy them! Yeah. Some forum that would be lol.

So you honesty think you're gonna exclude yourself? Sure you're not gonna buy them :) LMAO

Now you're just outright strawmanning. We (and I for sure) wouldn't buy them to be elitist or somehow show off, we wouldn't buy them because it simply wouldn't interest us. I don't see F1 stile as outdated, and playing the same game I've already played literally dozens of times in a platform and style I consider inferior doesn't appeal to me at all. As I said, when I want to play the originals I play the originals, and enjoy it.

You obviously dislike isometric and TB, and that's your prerogative. But assuming that isometric TB is inherently inferior or less advanced than 1st person RT is simply wrong, and assuming everyone else secretly agrees with you, but only pretend otherwise out of elitism is outright insulting.
