As we waltz into 2015, it seems that 2014 is shaping up to be known as the year of Early Access when everything is all said and done. Early Access is something indie game developers started doing to make money off their video games while still working on the game. When it first started, there wasn't much said about it. Just like anything else in the world, the more popular it became with game developers, the more criticism it started to receive and not just by the gaming public, but by the gaming journalists as well. However, when you look at it, how is it any different than when games come out on time “finished”?
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.
The rumoured Fallout 3 Remaster is still in development, but it will be years until fans get to play it on new platforms.
Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.
***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***
I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.
Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.
Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.
It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.
They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.
The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.
I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.
Licensing issues often leave many games forgotten. But all that aside, here are 10 classic games desperate for remasters.
The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.
Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.
i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately
One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons
Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
The problem with Early Access is playing an incomplete game. The temptation is HUGE to buy a game that has had your attention for a while, knowing it's on Steam to buy right now, even though it's early access.
Take a game like Lichdom. It looks amazing, and is totally my type of game. I'd love to get it now, but I know the game isn't done. There will be additional levels and powers and I don't want to play through the game before it's finished, because chances are I won't replay it if I beat it in early access. That's just an issue with single player, linear games, more so if they're story driven.
"Early Access", huh? Let's get COMPLETE/NON-BROKEN GAMES, first. And...of all publishers...EA is leading the charge of charging gamers for access to unfinished games? Pshyeah...lol.
I'm not one to purchase early access games, though prison architect is tempting me.
Still, I think people should think of an early access game purchase the same way they think of any other game purchase. You're getting what you paid for at the time. If the creators do fulfill their promise, then great, but don't expect that to always happen.
I'm not sure comparing Early Access games, that get released unfinished, to games that become broken years after release, as in the case of Fallout 3 having no patches for Windows 7, is fair.
The bottom line is you can get it or NOT!! Lease it's not like Ps4 n X1 to play online you have no choice but to get it, we should worry if it goes that way!!!
Like if you bought Madden n only way to play your friends are to pay the access
