I just play shooters ... so yes ... indeed. On a better engine would be nice. iD Tech 5 which Rage uses is Zenimax/Bethesda and Obsidian could theoretically use that. That would be very good if they got it right.

Released "as is" on the consoles, sure why not. That is, when Bethesda will hold the rights to do so.
Remade? Not at all. They are already perfect as they are. If someone wants to remake them, he'll need to keep the same mechanics, the same skills, the same.. everything. Even then, it'd never be as a good as the original. ;)

No. I want Obsidian to remake 1 and 2. And I want to play test it myself, BEFORE it gets released.

I don't see how you can play 1 & 2 on their current state on an xbox360. You need a mouse to do anything with them.

Yes, i'm playing FO1 on meh laptop, and would much rather play the same story on a PS3 in first/third person, because as it stands right now, i can't hit a rat for **** because apparently 50% chance to with a knife actually is about 10%

If they are COMPLETE replica's of the old games only with better graphics, then yes. (This means turn-based gameplay and map node system with NO OPTIONAL FPS or Sandbox crap...)
But if so much as one word in a dialogue line is changed, then no.

I don't have that sense of childhood nostalgia for Fallout and Fallout 2 that others here do. In honestly, I couldn't care less, BUT only if gamesas/Obsidian remake it graphically, leaving the storyline, characters, and etc intact and unaltered. If something was cut fron Fallout and Fallout 2 that was cut for time/engine reasons, thats debatable in terms of implementation. But if it's focus is purely graphical in consequence of reduced story? No.

Also, Why is this even in the New vegas section?

I'd prefer if they just left it alone. No matter how many concessions, promises, etc that it would be exactly Fallout 1 and 2 just with updated graphics some of the more "hyperactive" people from the old guard would most likely complain. Then there would be people who would complain that it's not like Fallout 3 or New Vegas at all. I see nobody winning. I think the only way to do it, is just release them as is on xbox arcade/psn network for about 10 bucks. That way a newer batch of people who have never played the original's can do so if they aren't into pc gaming. I'm not into pc gaming but I got them both for my PC so even then makes me wonder if it's really necessary at all.

Point is, I think they should just be left alone. I'm not a super hardcoe Fallout fan (I played the originals sometime in 2004) so I wasn't there in the beginning so I may not have the same level of appreciation for it that others do but still I think leaving them alone is the best choice. Most people who are curious about playing the originals more then likely have an able PC and getting them both isn't really expensive. I got mine in a 2-pack for 15 dollars. So yeah....

You're right Shaw. I mean, graphically Fallout and Fallout 2 are outdated. But honestly, their just as fun to play as 3 and NV

The controls would be horrible on a controller though.
And it's not like it has high PC requirements to play.

But yeah I'd rather they leave it alone.
Cause while I hypothetically would want a complete replica with only better graphics they wouldn't be able to get the games right anyway.
Something would be cut, changed, tweaked or altered and it would make the elitism in me scream out in rage.
So hypothetically, yes, but in hypothesis anything is possible.
Realistically though? No. Cause no matter who tried to remake them they wouldn't be able to get them right.

Oh most definitely I took that into account. It could be done but with the PC versions being so dirt cheap releasing them on PC would be pretty moot. I think the controls could be done okay depending if the developer spends enough time coming to a workable solution and not just going "lol, here" and kicking it out the door in like a month.

Remakes just have a lot of ways of going wrong, not going too far enough, going too far, reaches just the right point.....BUT. etc.
Too many variables there's no way Bethesda would please enough people with remakes regardless if they went copy pasta with improved graphics or a version of how they envision fallout 1 and 2 would be in the modern day. Which would get the old guard absolutely screaming.

Plus to be perfectly honest I would rather have that time and effort on a remake of fallout 1 and 2 going into new vegas expansions (not dlc) or even another fallout sequel. I'd rather see new stuff.

Agreed.

But I honestly wonder if Bethesda is interested in expansions what so ever considering how much of cash cows DLC's are. :(

Can't.
It would contradict with New Vegas.

These

They could remake them to have todays graphics and 3D and all that, but if they so much remove a character or a line of dialogue or a quest or a settlement, then that... that... I lack the words to describe it. It should also still be turn-based with death animations like the ones in the old games (still orgismic to watch someone die by full-auto fire), even add more ones. I don't care if they add a lot of new animations and variations in how characters, outfits, buildings and wreckage look, that would just be good, but they should not redesign how Junktown or the Hub or Boneyard or anything looks like, just Three-Deefy it. They could even put in that Continuous Turn-Based from Fallout Tactics because I really like it, it speeds up battle while still making precentages, distances, all those other little number calculations for damage and resistance, aswell as AP matter (for people who don't use VATS, AP is useless, and I kinda don't like how it's done in VATS either)

Absolutely not. A simple re-release of the old games, with debatable graphics updates would be the most, although that would immediately cause them to have to cut content to be able to market it. porm Star and Child Killer perks ring any bells? The super mutant arm wrestling match in Broken Hills? Hell, they still have not brought the Cats Paw back in either FO3 or New Vegas, and that was a staple of the originals that wasn't even offensive.

The closest I could come was "Don't Care."

Never played 1 or 2 because I don't like isomorphic turn based games. So shoot me.

If they were to be remade, it would be more fitting that they be made by Obsidian. Since a large part of this type of game is the story, (imho) Obsidian has shown it can do a better job.

I am not knocking either FO3 (since I have spent hundreds of hours playing it, that would be disingenuous) or Bethesda. FO3 has been on the shelf long enough that I will probably go back to it again soon.

I answered "don't care" but my real answer is more complacated than that. First off, I'd say NO. Because no matter how hard they tried, they'd change and/or ruin the the feel of the first two. But, as hypicritical as this may sound, if they did do a re-make of FO 1 & 2 with updated graphics and engine, I'd be likely to buy it.

Thumbsticks world work fine imo. Might need to add the ability to tweek the sensitivity.
