I would love to play FO1 and FO2 but I do not want to go through the primitive methods of that time. If the games were updated to modern standards as far as graphics, movement, mouse use (sound?) the game would be a lot more fun for me. Other wise I might as while go back to flying through tunnels and puking my guts out. (I bet no one can remember that game, I can not - at least the name.)

I'd rather not.

Nope, time for a new ES.

Why remake them? When you can continue the story? Fallout 1 and 2 are great games and I'm sorry if it's hard for you to play them. But there's no real reason they should re make them.

I'd buy a 3d retelling of FO1&2 using what ever engine FO:4 will use.

No...

Really, no...

Oh my God! No!

Seriously! Noooooooooooooooooooo!

AHHG! NOOOOOOO!

If anything, I think it would be sweet if someone used some editing software to create FO:NV in the graphics of the originals. It would just be kinda cool to see a Vegas Strip with tons and tons of NPC's instead of the few that can be rendered with the engine FO:3 and NV use.

I mean look at the cover art for Fallout: All Roads, with all those people in Freeside. It would be great to see a seriously bustling New Vegas.

I'd buy it. Don't get me wrong, I want a new Elder Scrolls just as much as anyone. New fallout lore is always good too. But I'd be lieing if I said it wouldn't be fun to explore reno or vault city in 3d.

Descent. Best FPS series to date.

Multiplayer deathmatch Descent. Remembers those days.

What primitive? Mouse use? Fallout made extensive use of the mouse, and many of the conversations outclass FO3 for dialog , voice work, and art :confused:
(I would hazard a guess that the meshes for those heads are more complex than the ones in used in Fallout 3)

I voted no. There is no way they could match it these days.

Would you let Banksy redo the Mona Lisa?



The primitive nature of the originals are what gave them their charm imo. Besides, it would be a totally different game if you were to remake anything that old.

RE: The bold text: Then you don't want to play Fallout or Fallout 2, simple as that.

For God's sake please don't remind me of Descent. I get dizzy just from thinking about it.

The remakes wouldn't serve their purpose. A translation for todays "methods" of developing a game (which seem to include - too? - drastic measures of streamlining and general dumbing down) would just take most of what made those games what they are, and what created their appeal, away. It's time for new stories (whether that is for the better or worse is to be seen).

Having a remake of those games would be horrible! It's best to keep them as the original games.

I'm actually working my way through Fallout 2 again right now because I felt a lot of things in New Vegas that were familiar, but I couldn't quite remember clearly. To be honest I enjoy the original games more than the new ones simply because of the lack of glaringly obvious and often game destroying bugs. (I still haven't been able to recover ED-E after he disappeared sometime after finishing his quest, Veronica stands around like there is no AI attached to her anymore, and Rex flees from anything that even remotely resembles conflict. Also I have a save game where Caesar's Legion, the NCR, and Mr. House's Securitrons all attack me on sight and the Yes Man is missing.)

I voted no.

What I would enjoy playing though is if somehow someone made a game that moved through the events of the first and second without destroying the lore. Think Back to the Future Part II, where you are constantly surrounded by events of those games while interweaving a storyline of your own into the time line. Even a passable result (from a lore aspect) would be something I would build idols, and sing songs of. So if someone were to take up the (totally unnecessary) cause of rebuilding the Fallout 1/2 worlds in a new 3D game engine I would much prefer they then use some original thought and create something I haven't played before, in a landscape I would very much like to revisit.

Of course it's all just wishful thinking either way.

Yet another perfect example of why they should never be remade in any way, thank you.

If it is done correctly.

Monkey Island 1 & 2 have been successfully redone. They improved the graphics, but otherwise left everything else the same - even with an option for the old style graphics if desired.

So, Fallout 1 & 2, with an engine allowing more than just brown wasteland floor (allowing Vault City to be greener after using the GECK), add in the *option* for hardcoe mode and crafting NV-style.

I'd buy it like a shot.

Why not do Fallout: Pacman?

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

I think this idea has some promise. As long as it's just a graphical update. Maybe it could be sold in a collection, sort of like the Squaresoft anthologies. Maybe throw in Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel. I'd buy it.

It will never happen, it has been stated so many times by Interplay and Bethesda, and I'm glad, they are fine as is.

Isn't there a fan project to remake FO1 with the FO: Tactics engine?

If they do remake them make them with a 3d Engine but do not change the base gameplay of Fallout 1 and 2 to keep the original gameplay. But i just bought Fallout 2 today and have been trying to get the dang mods to install correctly but thats something more suited to the Fallout Series discussion. i would love to see maybe Fallout 1 and 2 done as Fallout 3 was going to be but better and i mean Fallout 3 from Black isles.

Primitive? Please alaborate. Just because it doesn't have the Oooh and Aaaah VATS and graphics of 2010 and flying gibs all over the place does not mean it's primitive. It's not a, you know, Pac-Man!



Right. You just lost your credibility right there. Sorry. :shrug:

Or are we talking about another game? In that case, I was mistaken. BaaaAAAaaah. Ze shame on meh. :cryvaultboy:

I voted yes but then I realized that no would be better. As people have said if you meddle with the old series it will lose its charm and nostalgia feeling. What I'd rather like to see is obsidian taking their time ( and money) and just develop a fallout that's completely their own. I'd buy that.
