With the first hands-on sessions with the highly controversial Fallout 3 confirmed for this weekend's Penny Arcade Expo, gameplayer has written an interesting article in preparation. They've done an extensive analysis of the flaws of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - the previous game by developer Bethesda - an exposed how they will be inexcusable in the third release in the cult Fallout series. Essential reading for those wary of the resurrection of the Fallout series in the hands of a new developer.
"When you're stepping up to the plate to make a sequel to a game that constantly finds itself in Top 100 games lists all over the globe, you want to make damn sure that you've got big enough balls for the job. In a perfect world we'd just give the job to the original developers, but unfortunately bankruptcy swallowed up Interplay Entertainment and Black Isle Studios - the developers of both Fallout games - several years ago. With the studio left in disarray, the Fallout name was put up to the highest bidder, resulting in a million dollar deal with Bethesda Softworks for the licence."
A remaster of Bethesda Game Studios' 2008 action role-playing game, Fallout 3, is planned for release at some point in the future.
Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.
Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.
Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.
To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.
all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.
Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too
Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.
Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".
Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.
Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.
PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh
Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.
So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.
Fallout 3 game designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the upcoming remaster should revise the game's gunplay to be more modern.
Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements
I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed
Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
Oblivion will still be king when all is said and done.
94 on Metacritic.Fat chance Fallout
But Morrowwind still is king to me.
what about Daggerfall? :)
Fallout 1 and 2.
Screw it up Bethesda and die
The author pointed out the most glaring flaws in Oblivion such as reusing textures, repetitive gameplay, and poor AI. Bethesda will most likely fix those flaws in Fallout 3 but I'd be surprised if they can pull it all off with only 7GB of space. Regardless, I'll still be buying the game when it comes out.
