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

Duke1923d ago (Edited 23d ago )

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

Just release it on ps4/ps5 with trophy support

Give it the Baldur’s Gate 3 treatment. It will be costly, but Larian proved it can be done.

MinnesotaFatts23d ago

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

Do you not see this happening during development? Like, why are we apologizing after the fact instead of stopping it during development?

Stopac4h ago

Criticism and reflection occur after the fact. The apology acknowledges the past criticisms with the new expansion and they're keeping transparency with players about it. Now that they've acknowledged it - it will be interesting to see what kind of cycle we'll get with a new expansion and I wonder if they're planning something special with beast master since they didn't mention it in the last live letter.

It's all good, as long as the price of the product decreases.

Stopac4h ago

The base game and expansion go on sale all the time and doesn't stay full price for very long since a new expansion is on the horizon.

If you're stating they should reduce the price of new expansions or the sub fee, no, that's not gonna happen lmao people aren't even complaining about that. They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy.

"They are criticizing the same old pattern of content that releases and how it is devolving into mediocracy."

The product should be cheaper then.

I was unhappy with DT and have spent far less time in it than any other expansion but it's things like this that makes me respect Yoshi P. It's rare for such a high profile developer to be so candid in his assessment on a live game.

Stopac4h ago

Same, i've found my self resubbing every two patches instead of keeping it up. Don't own a home in the game so there's no point in keeping a constant sub going. The post story is getting interesting though.

Playdead co-founder slammed with lawsuit as bitter row with co-founder escalates

Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
