GI.net: "Fallout 3 was originally being put together by the original creators of the series Black Isle. However, when Interplay let the team go, the franchise was placed into limbo. Nobody was sure if the series would die or if someone would pick it up to possibly create something in the future. Eventually a pre-alpha version of Fallout 3 was leaked onto the net, showing gamers what could have been. Also, the news was released that Bethesda, of Elder Scrolls fame, had picked up the series. There were fears in the hearts of most Fallout series stalwarts, assuming the game was simply going to become Oblivion with guns.
I'll start by saying that I played through this game on both the Xbox 360 and the PC. Fallout 3 does take a few cues from the Elder Scrolls series. Character creation is not done as it has been in last couple of Fallout games but through a few small activities at the start of the game. Your looks, for example, are handled when you're born - the game works this into the story by claiming that the computer is showing you what you'll look like when you're grown up. This all does a good job of introducing you to basic concepts in the game, while doing so in a context that is fitting and not a horribly forced tutorial. Sure, you'll get those screens that pop up and tell you how to do something, but it is the best way to mix the immersion of a game with the essential aspects of learning to play said game. This tutorial is essential, too, since many of the beginning story hooks are introduced here. After you finish this small tutorial mission, you'll get a chance to redo any of your characters attributes or skill ratings before starting on the main game, which is a nice added touch."
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.
