Following yesterday's update from David Brevik fans became excited at his involvement with a new Diablo game but perhaps it was a little too soon to speculate on a move to a new Diablo game.
While the Nintendo 64 didn’t sell the most units during its hallowed run, it did see multiple genre-defining games.
Tim Cain, one of the co-creators of the original Fallout title, has appeared in a 17-minute video on his YouTube channel talking about the potential for a Fallout remaster.
I'd take a remake in the style of Bethesda's Fallout, maybe it could be done by Obsidian while Bethesda works on TESVI and Fallout 5
No source code, and a slew of original game systems/UX concepts that wouldn’t work well today.
He’s right; this would be an entirely new game, not a remaster.
Also I think the glory days of isometric/trimetric games are over. Would be shocked if someone invested the cash to remake this nowadays
Give it the Baldur’s Gate 3 treatment. It will be costly, but Larian proved it can be done.
The key point from the vid/article: nobody knows where the source code for FO1 is. That's the only thing hampering a remaster project. Bethesda, or whoever, would be better off completely remaking Fallout from the ground up, and that's not what people are asking for.
I saw an article the other day that said someone did have the source code. Conflicting reports out there
Randy: "I am sorry there was a misunderstanding. The absolute sincere truth is that I don’t want anyone to pay any more than they should or are comfortable with and I always work with the intent and hope that a customer always feels they got the better end of the deal no matter what they pay. The actual context was that a guy replied to a post about Borderlands 4 on the Nintendo Switch 2 was warning me that if the price ends up being $80, the game will fail. What I was trying to do was explain that it wasn’t my call but that if a $10 price increase does happen (since that’s obviously where the industry is going), it will be okay and that Borderlands 4 will be okay because it’s a great game and there are a lot of fans who will see the value and want it."
It will sell well because it’s Borderlands, but I’m not getting it Day 1 now. I’ll happily wait and buy something else.
He just had to open his mouth, I don’t know why they don’t see how much of a PR disaster he is.
Makes me wonder why people like this lead games and franchises that are beloved. Dude just needs to shut up and never speak their opinions on social media lol. Just chill and enjoy your life with the 7 figure salary you get bud.
There's nothing to buy because there's no apology here except for how WE "misunderstood" what he so clearly typed out.
Yea like we’re just dumb consumers that don’t understand PR damage control. Hey Randy, if you cared about the fans you’d fight against this stupid price hike… oh wait…
Well regardless of the bust, something is still going on at Blizzard. Should be an interesting Blizzcon!
"The question remains, what is he involved with? It’s also not clear now for who or what we will be advising for, it was naturally assumed it would be Blizzard based on his tweet."
David joined the Path of Exile team. Which is a F2P Diablo clone. Not nearly as polished as Diablo but a fun game.
